I stand by my assessment after watching the video but should not have used a swear word. I am a people leader at work and I would be required by my senior managers to support an employee who behaved liked this, We are a caring organisation and I would be very troubled by this behaviour if I were Cameron George. I think it s time for the season to end and him to have a restorative holiday.

I didn't really read anything into it except he happened to have his whistle on at the time and just went with it. Hope we haven't broken him already Wrighty.

What do you think Geoff Howarth's take on the situation is Wrighty?

Everyone's take is just as valid as mine as I am not a trained psychologist. Take my concerns with a grain of salt and apply your own mind to the footage and article as you have done. I won't get into any debates with anyone over this as I respect all of you as seasoned men and ladies of life experiences to have valid views. Thanks for your courteous response Worried,

I understand Wrighty. The corporate straight jacket often has that effect on its people and encourages straight line behaviour. I like that Webby has the freedom to just have a bit of off-the-cuff fun, and take some piss out of the situation. I'm pretty sure that's healthy.
 

Zero tackle reckons CNK should be fullback
They make a very good point Noitall. When we have been winning, the consistent hard metres CNK makes out of yardage have been key to getting our forward back rolling forward down the paddock. Taine is just too small to ever make anything like that same contribution in the NRL- he's never able to make a dominant carry because of his relative size. If the opposition play the current game plan of kick it to the corners and chase hard, then we are exposed.

We have missed that go forward when CNK is not at fullback, and then our forwards tend to look like they are less effective and we tend to pinpoint their performance. He carries tougher than most in that scenario. I'm guessing that Taine's continued selection is only because of the injuries we have in the centres.

The trouble is that it compromises our whole attacking momentum, and the longer it goes on at this stage of the season, the more risky it becomes. We may well look back on 2025 as the year we could have but didn't on the back of the long term injuries to key players.
