    Bernard Sutton had a blinder.

    If I hear Greenberg stand there & talk about what a great game it was I'll puke. He just can't seem to have the conversation that needs to be had. Burgess should have been suspended for his defamatory comments this week, not having a friendly chat with Greenberg next week. Watch Burgess get away...

    Dessie blowing up deluxe

    That was one of the worst decisions I've seen. Not that it even deserved a penalty but that would have been more than sufficient. That was a game where a referee decision has influenced the outcome of a game. Screwed by Sutton incompetence again!

    V'landys takes over from Beattie as ARL Commission chairman

    Beattie has always been a 'Johnny come lately' embarrassment to our game. And if Greenburg has any respect for the games future, he should follow Beattie out the door. His obsessive fawning over Cameron Smith and his wife almost borders on stalking! The diamond ring was the most cringeworthy...

    “Penn launches stunning defence of NRL policy”

    So what happens if JDB is found not guilty some time next year? At 30 years of age & with no football behind him to maintain & grow his skills, his bargaining power for a new contract would be severely reduced & his market value diminished. I don't know what the perfect answer is here but his...

    Sack Beattie!

    I cannot understand why so many in the media were applauding Greenberg for his leadership over this issue when his 'leadership' has been missing for so long. This is the same guy who sanctioned Matt Lodges return to the game, was aware of Ben Barba's previous behaviour but allowed him to stay in...

    Storm $600K over salary cap for 2019

    As the last one signed, he is in the same situation as Johnson at Cronulla. Can you imagine the scrambling at NRL headquarters to not have to do that to a former Australian skipper? He held out for more cash & it might just bite him in the Payne Haas!

    NRL Footy Show Axed

    I actually quite like 100% Footy. To me, that's the type of panel show I prefer.

    Other Games - Round 25, 2018

    I am surprised nobody has mentioned the Fox interview post match when the interviewer stated that Thurston's wife was expecting their fourth child & then blurted out to Thurston "You dirty little devil!" All jokes aside, it was in very poor taste given the circumstances of his retirement & the...

    Barrett Rd 25 Press Conference

    Sounds like a Mexican standoff to see who blinks first.

    Sharks under Salary Cap investigation

    Roosters must be first cab off the rank regarding TPA's. The NRL has allowed this area of the game to become a mockery. It should have always have been capped as equal to a set percentage of the cap. Some clubs have great corporate capture through their front office and some just can't attract...

    It was Des all along coaching thread

    Probably fair to assume that our new centre of excellence will be modelled off a BBQ's Galore showroom. Now that's cutting edge, sate of the art stuff.

    NEW IMMORTALS JUDGES

    Is there nothing this self absorbed pretender won't stick his nose in to? This important part of our games history should be determined by rugby league historians, past greats & journalists with no less than 30 years experience covering our once great game. That, combined with statistical...

    Coach not addressing the players in the sheds at HT-not in Manly's DNA

    That was the most inept defensive effort I can recall ever seeing from a Manly side. I felt embarrassed to watch. There is no heart in that side.

    I’m done with the game

    That accidental offside interpretation is a game killer. What a way to destroy the integrity of a match and the sport. I hear you! You can feel the energy being sucked out of you.

    Cliff Watson - A request....

    Hi Davis, Re your request. Leave it with me and I will track down my cousin and see if he can help. Buck

    Finally!

    You must have crystal balled the Rabbits V Titans game! How can one organisation present 2 entirely different versions of the same game in 48 hours? Issues we let go for Origin that keep momentum in a game are pulled up ad nauseum in a club match 2 days later. These clowns continue to push fans...

    Cam Smith's "multiple threads- only one declared"

    I think the press have let him off lightly. His decision to leave it until 2 weeks out from selection is a very selfish one and has left his coach and team mates in the lurch. He should be called out on it. His reason for feeling sorer after games for longer than usual, didn't happen over the...

    Cam Smith's "multiple threads- only one declared"

    May or may not have been intentional but one thing is for certain, they've been doing it for so long now it is just a part of the Storm DNA. Unfortunately, they do it without thinking and this time it injured a former team mate. Smith is always pulling the limbs of opposition players.

    RIP Cliff Watson

    My cousin got to play with him in Wollongong in the later stages of his career. I remember him saying he thought he had played with some tough hombres until he saw big Cliff in action. Catching up with him for a beer on Saturday night & I expect he will peel off those stories again.

    Am I alone?

    I hear what you are saying Bob. The mere mention of that collective of Manly greats gets my blood pumping. The current lot don't have the same effect. The club has a bit of a 'beige' feel about it. I love my club but the character it symbolised for many decades is a thing of the past. Many...
