    Ridiculous

    Just thinking that the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in sport, professional or amateur, is the sight of a referee giving a try that he knows for certain was not a try. It defies any logical explanation, and goes to the core of, what is a referee? I'm not talking about being on the...

    Battle for the Spoon

    Whilst it is true that the gummies are the only team that consider the wooden spoon as silverware, their recent form may have played them out of contention. Of the other contenders, Sticky has the experience, and achieving the distinction of 3 in a row at 2 different clubs will be a powerful...

    Postcards from home

    I took this photo (of paradise) this morning which made me think of the diverse locations of my fellow members. I am sure some of you have some great photo of where you call home. Pease Post

    Cancell SOO 3

    I know they can't and won't, but cancel SOO 3. These two teams genuinely hate each other, not just in state v's state rivalry, or competitive spirit, but we have finally reached a point where the players genuinely HATE each other. Combine this with the anything goes refereeing and I fear...

    Best pommie imports

    IMO there have only ever been 5 great pommie imports. My ranking system is as follows 1) Malcolm Reilly (2 Premierships with Manly) 2) Kevin Ward (Premiership with Manly) 3) Steve Norton (Premiership with Manly) 4) Gary Stephens (Premiership with Manly) 5) Phil Lowe...

    The REAL reason

    Exclusive. Raiders CEO explains the real reason Tedesco, Mansour, Proctor and others won't come to the Raiders is ... they want to live in Sydney. Even if it costs them $450,000 over 3 years. How is he rationalising Papalii staying at Canberra?

    Master of the Red Herring

    As a relative new comer to Silvertails, I enjoy the witty and otherwise banter as much as I welcome the insightful football analysis of many of the posters. I have seen threads go off topic in the first response and one poster recently commented that a single thread contained every subject...

    Tedesco

    I wish Tedesco all the best and hope he can overcome the triple obstacles of his injuries, living in Canberra (sorry @Ralphie) and being coached by Sticky. Love watching him play, but given his injury record, and with such a hunk of the cap tied up in him I bet the raiders fans will be...

    Will no wrestle effect SOO

    Will the new faster Play the balls have an affect on SOO? I believe it has taken 5% off the effectiveness of the scum this season. Will an already super fast game become faster still? Will more mobile forwards like Watmough and Merrin who also can get fast play the balls come into their own...

    Light banter

    Coffee this morning with a Doggies fan and a Parra supporter when Josh Reynolds came up. "What a grub' I said "what about Matai they chorused" like mindless gibberers. "Are you telling me that if Matai turned up at Belmore or Parra you wouldn't put him straight into your team" I asked "of...

    Ballin a pest says tunks

    By definition all hookers are pests. But not all pests are grubs. Back in the day, a coach of a junior team would always pick out the least attractive kid, (yeah, the one with the crookiest melon) and make him hooker on the well acknowledged principle that his mother would be the mom least...

    George Rose off to soccer.

    Reports just in hint that George Rose has been holding secret talks with Man U in the EPL and a huge offer is about to be tabled. Whilst most league fans and pundits are sceptical, Greenturd has leapt on the offensive stating "this is exactly the type of cross-code poaching I have warned...

    Dunamis and JSL

    Thought both were very willing last night, plenty of energy.

    Big day out for Ferris

    Given the recent sharing of opinions regarding Ferris I am looking forward to watching the city/Country game. I am especially keen to see if, removed from the comfort and conformity of playing a "role" as a junior member in a champion pack, he takes this opportunity to stamp some independence...

    Forward Physics

    I confess that before each game this year I have been uneasy and nervous regarding our no-name, no-impact forward pack. Each team, such as Souff's, Rorters, Cowgirls and Scum have boasted Big, powerful star laden packs that threaten to smash us into submission. Again before the Canberra...

    Snouts in the public trough

    Now that the mighty Manly have the incumbent Prime Minister and State premier we should bury our snouts so deep into the public trough that within a year Brookie rivals Wembly stadium. Immediate steps should be taken to place the NRL under State Control with an impartial board of ex manly...

    The Spine

    The most important positions are the Numbers 1,6,7 & 9. With rare exceptions these are the positions that command the big dollars because you can't win a premiership without outstanding players in all 4 of them. For a 1st rate fullback, clubs will pay $550,000pa plus. The amount offered...

    contract for 14yo

    read yesterday that Newcastle had signed a 14yo to a "contract" How to you sign a 14yo to a contract. Can a parent legalally liablise a 14yo by signing a contract. Or does the media simply not know what a contract is? and too dull to ask if it is enforceable. Good luck taking a 14yo...
