So are the Dogs going to go after Des again. I mean they keep wanting to sign Manly coaches. Maybe Tooves although I think Tooves has been marked never to coach nrl again.

Who knows. A gf or two for us and they might lol. I don't know what they need but I believe like Manly, the dogs need a coach that knows the club. Not sure who's out there for them, but I think they have bought well enough to improve. Poor Tooves, would love him back in the food somewhere.

Try about to be disallowed, however the Brumbos/Broncies are outplaying the vaguely complacent ‘riff Zoob Machine at the moment.
Donkeys are playing well but there is still a distinct difference in the ruck speed between both teams. If the Donkeys don't find a way to halt it the Riff will run over the top of them eventually.
Yeah the ruck speed is different, yet the broncs keep getting hammered by the ref. Penrith get the rails run from the refs, just like other ‘top’ sides. Hate to say it but Paton and co were correct.

Their fans are still blaming Des for all of their woes 5 years and 2 coaches since he was last there.

I'm not sure if Brisbane are taking this game to Penrith, or if Penrith are taking them too lightly.
If I were Ivan Cleary, that is something I'd be worried about. Against the so called lesser teams, Penrith seem to go into cruise mode. Now they have the talent to overcome that in games, but sometimes other sides creep into the lead before you get going, which can sometimes be too late.

Why would that be Mick ?

Because he is a ‘Negative Nellie’ sh-tstirrer.😉
Thats why we love him.

Indeed. If he picks Manly to lose, then I’m generally confident of a win.
Besides, these days the ‘lickers wouldn’t touch Des with a barge pole.

Technology has ruined RL. By slowing down the action to a stop-frame it distorts reality and we are being told that what we saw in real time was our eyes playing tricks on us. In the two matches today my eyes, and 60+ years watching RL, deceived me into believing three or four tries were scored. But technology said "no"; the ball was bobbled/propelled forward by a mysterious force/hit an opposing player before being regained... take your pick.
I must have seen hundreds of "no tries" scored over the decades. Now whenever I see a "try" scored I'm waiting for technology to tell me it was a cruel joke.

My first brush with technology was a Sloppy Jallopy set as a young kid.
Then I discovered television, records, cassettes, telephones, walkman's AM-FM radio, Beta, VHS, Commodore Vic 20, Commodore 64, video games, remote control cars, dot matrix printers, remote controls, my older brothers hidden porn videos, ATM's, 464 computers with a turbo button, laser printers, inkjet printers, CD's, DVD's, CCTV (I worked security for a few years lol), mobile phones (when they were actually just a phone long before they were a personal computer and mobile television studio), laptops, the internet, MP3, MP4, Napster, Pornhub, EFTPOS, tablets, apps, .....technology and information overload.
Technology in sport will always be a double edged sword and unfortunately you simply can't please everyone all of the time. But just remember this. The camera does not lie. Unfortunately the person making the decision is only human and they will stuff up occasionally. You'd think they would get it right more often than not, but ... no. And why? Because at the end of the day regardless of what the technology shows, its up to the interpretation of the rules of that said person making the decision. And while there are some rules that are pretty black and white, a lot of them have a few different shades of grey that are open to different interpretations. Hence another issue (that I won't get into here ... thank God I hear you say
), inconsistency.

It’s becoming more boring as a result too.
6 again , 6 again , 6 again , try , hang on technicality, NO TRY.
Rinse and repeat

When I was growing up the truism was: "Seeing is believing". That is plainly not true these days with technology being able to manipulate reality.
What I do know is that my enjoyment of RL keeps diminishing the more technology interferes with the action. I used to be satisfied with what my eyes saw; now I have to wait -- often for minutes -- to have this verified or dismantled.
Technology is causing more stoppages and rule rorting than improving the spectacle. The players are human. The ref and officials are human. We all make errors. If you want perfection then play a video game.
Missed that. Who copped it?
