    Annesely's not so sure now?

    Come on mate. You at least did the right thing and said 'sorry we got that wrong'. Must be feeling some pressure from the ref's union. It wasn't even line ball! If you look at where Tom T passed the ball and where Garrick received it it barely even floated a metre forwards, and Tom T was at full...

    1968 GF Eagles v Rabbits

    Just noticed the NRL TV site has all the GFs from 66 on for viewing. Watching the 68 one which I remember listening to vaguely on the radio but have never seen in its entirety. The first 5 mins of action include: Coote leading with an elbow to Billy Bradstreet hitting the ball up. Bradstreet...

    Who wins the GF?

    Storm most likely (call me a genius). But the 'due for a loss' theory might kick in. Here's hoping. And the Cowboys seem to exude a kind of indecisive lacklustre gas that affects their opponents. Or that could just be who they played. The Sharks lack adventure anyway (how depressing to be a...

    Brisbane v Panthers

    Just watching this game. I don't go in for the conspiracy theories on the refs too much, but just seeing Brisbane get a free pass for things that Manly got instantly penalised for last week. Makes the blood boil a bit. Eg: lifting tackle above the horizontal. Last week immediate penalty against...

    What's your YART for when your life depends on it?

    Inspired by recent historical reminiscing posts, I've been wondering about a hypothetical best of team for when you need a side that will never ever let you down, or take a backward step, or lose heart. The may not be the most individually brilliant or play the most flashy football, but they...

    Stewart and Matai status

    I can't see anything much about this on the forums or in the papers. Are they both un-officially medically retired, but the club is paying them to the end of their contracts? Is there something else going on here eg to do with relations with the new coach or the club in general? The papers...

    In memorium

    Thought this was an appropriate time and place to record the passing of a long term Eagles supporter. My father died Feb 4 this year after a long life, making it to 93. He became a Sea Eagles fan having moved into the area when he bought one of the defence service-built homes in the 1960s...

    Reasons to be cheerful

    We beat the storm-in-a-teacup twice. We beat the sharks twice and ruined their finals campaign. We thrashed the broncos and the rabbitohs and got some revenge. 'No spoon for us' record intact. Any more?

    We'll be ok

    Hasson, the cracker (Sao), Turbocharger, Chee Kam. We got some good young blokes coming through. plus: Kingy to play a vintage 'benefit season'. Snake to stay fit(ter) longer, Richie F to stop bashin' his head against things. Matai to keep bashin his head against things. Wolfie to do some...

    Superleague GF

    roosters v wigan next wcc. Watched the superleague gf and the difference in standard was quite shocking -- things seem to be going backwards here in the uk not forwards based on that. The defence of warrington was nothing short of pitiful for a GF. The speed of the game and the intensity was...

    Post-game press conference

    Toovs, Lyon and DCE. Lots of class shown by 3 obviously shattered people. The disjunction between Toovs' monotone platitudes about not quite being good enough and the roosters being better and his wild eyes was a bit scary.. punch a hole in the hallway wall when he gets in tonight maybe... He...

    WTF? had a great game but **** that's weird....

    Wolfman

    Hope I don't jinx him at the 11th hour, but it's been great to go through a season where Wolfie hasn't been struck down with some severe and bizarre injury. Looking forward to him dining out on some more goodies from Lyon and Snake, but that catch-pirouette-put down at full speed the other...

    Some more on the 73 GF

    Just spotted this on the Telegraph website from the heritage round. Lots of anecdotes and quotes from players out there that day. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/a-gang-fight-in-shoulder-pads/story-e6frexnr-1226619871595

    Injury check: City v Country

    So no dramas for any of our players out of the game?

    Consistency

    Big bird was on about this in another thread. To be brutally honest the wins against the tigers, the dogs and the sharks (to an extent--more fight in them than the other 2) were underachievements given the evident superiority when we really turned it on. It's early days, and we've done...

    Anticipation is the best part

    Probably linked to my perennial premature ejaculator problems, but.... being too busy to watch the game (it starts at 9.30 am here), then getting the result leads to just waiting for the chance to catch the replay. when it's beating the dogs of des, well er... ah ahh aaahhh!, oops there I go...

    New Pigs

    After 4 rounds and a bit of a look at the new forwards, what do folks reckon? A few thoughts: Lawrence: big tick, looking like the very model of a modern front row machine + a bit of finesse: stay out of the judiciary son! Horo: tick Faaoso: tick; use your arms mate. Gower: want to tick...

    Raper and Harrigan jag one for a change

    I reckon they got this one right: neither the cowboys try after the strip and oldfield's try after foran's play for the ball should have been awarded. One was obviously unjust and the other looked about as suspect as a fox exiting a chicken coup. So stop your whining cowboys and think about...
