    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2024 edition.

    It's blatant game management, @Rackets . We need to to keep the 'product' exciting and keep the gamblers engaged therefore close games are required. It's a bit like the ridiculous car racing these days - no benefit in building up a nice lead 'cause there will be a pace car organised to bunch...

    All charge-downs are now illegal

    It was when the farcical penalty was awarded that I turned the telly off and then checked on the result in the news later...

    Post-Game Discussion Warriors V Manly [Round 6, 2024]

    I think the moral of the story is "Thou shalt not get to a three (or more) try lead at any stage of the first half without incurring the inconsistent wrath of the ref and bunker. Here endeth the lesson..."

    Other Games [Round 5, 2024]

    If I could change one thing immediately it would be ruling on forward passes. That pass from Kikau to Burton was a shocker as was the Mahoney pass for Hughes before half time. Even the half-wits in the bunker could rule on those two... The only upside here is seeing Easts get rogered... :)

    Welcome Back Tom

    And I know who won't be late into a tackle with a dog shot too... Did any commentators bring up Latrell's late flop after Saab made that break and was ankle-tapped? Should've been at least a penalty if not a bin...

    Favourite factor today

    A Souths supporting mate of mine also noted the fitness that Manly had especially later in the second half - he was quite disappointed that the Bunnies just ran out of puff... He also commented on how well DCE went.

    All time BEST and WORST games - plus Most hated team

    I have to agree with @Captain Moondog on most of that, but I've got the Raiders in the number 1 position for most hated team! The Donkeys are a close 2nd leaving the rest to fight it out for 3rd. None of this "second team" crap for me... :)

    Club News 2024

    Well @Ron E. Gibbs , you could call him 'doosra' (if you don't mind a cricket term)...

    I am calling it now.

    I like the cut of your jib, EOL..!

    Where does this Panthers Team Rate?

    Just had a quick look at the list of premiers from way back and St George and/or Souths were at the pointy end every year from 1949 to 1971 inclusive... Must've been monotonous if you didn't support one of those two!

    Where does this Panthers Team Rate?

    You'd have to think that the current 'riff team will be lurking at (or near) the top of the heap for quite a few more years. If that eventuates then they'd be regarded as one of the best ever. Souths had a handy team late 60s to early 70s as well.
