    get a grip

    From what I've seen, Tim Smith can tackle and has all the skills. Different animal to Joe Williams who has some skills but needs heaps of work. Something major has gone awry with Smith this year, maybe he got lazy and started believing the press. Something's wrong with his attitude. Just...

    Jason Taylor to Coach Eels for rest of the Season

    Thank you, Chip & Chase! You've cleared those memories. Arguably Norths best ever coach (only competitor is the coach that won their last premiership in 1923) was Peter Louis. He took a Bears team whose supporters club held their AGM in the telephone box outside the club, and took them...

    Matai

    The issue isn't Matai v Lyon. That's a no-brainer. The issue is whether you thrown all of your money at one player and leave gaping holes elsewhere. Like throwing all of our money at the Ox and then having a bench that Des doesn't trust to use & no backup when injuries or rep games hit...

    Storm Game is the Most Important Game of the Year

    Can't begrudge BK his last test match, Ryan. I still wouldn't have an avatar if he'd stayed retired. Extremely tough call if you're effectively accusing him of disloyalty. Back on topic: Storm Game is the Most Important Game of the Year? Yes - the next game always is.

    Roberts - gee thanks

    Why would Roberts chosen inclination be relevant, Fro? The way I look at it gays aren't hurting anyone (if consenting adults) & the more gays, the less competition! For any guy to come out takes plenty of guts, so I respect him for that too.

    Manly Just Pass the Trimester Exams

    Good stuff, C/W. Insightful. Summarised key issues

    Storm Game is the Most Important Game of the Year

    Over the last decade Manly/NE has had a shocking history of paying overs for half-backs. Field, Taylor, Kimmorley. The strategy didn't work even once, but each time there's some money available, out comes that same strategy again. The next Messiah is bought. Ox is the latest "paying...

    Storm Game is the Most Important Game of the Year

    Good call Garts. Not in any way a criticism of Bell, who's arguably Manly's best back (with Ox) & deserves SOO selection. From the first game Inglis played in 1st grade he had STAR written all over him. He will become an automatic selection in the Aust backline for many years. On form he's...

    Jason Taylor to Coach Eels for rest of the Season

    Taylor was part of the trio of high-profile useless halves that Manly/NE spent huge bucks on hoping for premiership success - Field-Taylor-Kimmorley. Cheered loudly when each left. Couldn't wait. These overrated players could only strut their stuff behind huge dominant forward packs and...

    Brian Smith just resigned

    What odds of Newcastle going spoon-premiers-spoon?

    Wendell Stood Down

    Even if the high cost him $1.5m.

    Qld team

    Agreed, Nutzcraw. Especially on Karmicheal - even though he had a pretty good game against us, he's not legitimately in the Qld top 17 let alone the Aust top 17. I'd reckon his Aust selection must've been to make him ineligible for future Kiwi selection, nothing more.

    Hoppa not pulling punches

    But in a sign that patience was running out with Sailor, McKenzie said: "If you're getting repeated offences then there's issues you maybe can't fix." Deja-vu eh?

    Blues team

    That's it. I'm calling them Cite, Cing, Cylie and Cennedy. "K"'s are just pure bad luck.

    Glenn Stewart

    Didn't do his chances of selection in the top grade any harm at all on the weekend. Concern is size but he played bigger and somehow looked bigger.

    Wendell Stood Down

    At 34 when the ban is over, that's it, done and dusted. Frees up money for Gasnier. Won't be any tears from Ewen McKenzie. He was less than impressed with Sailor's previous discipline issues.

    Rose takes Kings record

    Rather re-sign than replace.

    Rose takes Kings record

    And include Willo in that list. I haven't seen him in reserves, but based solely on their games yesterday, Stewart is the pick of the bunch at this stage. And he saved a try under the posts with smart desperation where most players would have just conceded the try.
