Everyone is becoming too civil here. Everyone is being too nice. Bring back the hate.. Eff the Broncos, Eff the eagles. It is hard to dislike the warriors though.. We should all meet up and bash the crap out of every other teams fans in magic round though..

Storm apparently looking at Tariq Sims to bolster their forwards.
Subsidised? HE's a current State of Origin forward! Jetski was selected ahead of him for round 1 but surely he is a key part of Saints forward plans this year. Even if they wanted to ease him out why would they pay to erode their own depth and make Melbourne stronger?[st_table="45%"][st_tr][st_td_row="2"][/st_td_row][st_td]Wolfie - broncoshq.com[/st_td][/st_tr][st_tr][st_td="0.7"]JOINED: .January 14, 2015

Not sure if it was already mentioned in here, but apparently the reason it took several minutes for Radley to leave the field after his head knock is because he was cleared by the Roosters doctor... except this year there is an independent doctor in the bunker and he overruled the Roosters doctor ordering Radley from the field
Think there has always been NRL doctors following them up after the fact hasn't there?
Shouldn't ever be up to the club doctors. I know the argument came up once about ethics and all that bull****, but it's clear as day that on a sports field, ethics of the trade are out the window.
Victor Radley and Billy Smith were taken from the field by independent doctors in the bunker, which have been introduced this season to stop clubs cheating the interchange system.
the article I read said it was new this year, from the Fox Sports article:
p.s. Robinson is whinging about it, while also hedging his bets. he says:
“I think it’s a good idea. (But) Billy’s got no concussion - didn’t even remember an incident until the doctor showed him,” Robinson said.
“So for them to go category 1 instead of category 2 was tough for us. You’ve got to give some faith to the doctors to look at it as well. They don’t have any symptoms at all.
“But I think it’s right, what they’re trying to put in. But you’ve got to be careful.
“It’s frustrating in the moment. They’ve made a call on how to get rid of the cheating of the system, which we all can acknowledge was there.
“They’ve gone to a different system. But they’ve got to also make sure they’re not pulling guys out of games without any symptoms at all.
“We would have lost the game anyway. But let’s get better at that system.”
"Billy’s got no concussion - didn’t even remember an incident until the doctor showed him,” Robinson said." :rofl Isn't that the actual definition of one of the main symptoms of concussion?the article I read said it was new this year, from the Fox Sports article:

Anyone else really enjoying the rule changes this year?
Games seem better and the refs seem to be pretty fair in every game I've watched. It's stark difference
"Billy’s got no concussion - didn’t even remember an incident until the doctor showed him,” Robinson said." :rofl Isn't that the actual definition of one of the main symptoms of concussion?
I know right. It just confirms to me that some coaches are way down on he list of 'powers of deduction'.Yeah I read that too and was confused. I think Robinsons line of thinking was "Billy didn't even realise he had copped a knock as he didn't feel it, so it must have been very minor", not realising that the reason he didn't recall it was because his brain wasn't able to store those memories because of the concussion...
Another great rule change, reports are no longer a free double interchange.Not sure if it was already mentioned in here, but apparently the reason it took several minutes for Radley to leave the field after his head knock is because he was cleared by the Roosters doctor... except this year there is an independent doctor in the bunker and he overruled the Roosters doctor ordering Radley from the field

Eh there’s way too much hate in the world right now, it’s nice to have civil discussions with other fans to be honest.
Tbf to them, they still have Grant, Bromwich and Munster, possibly Kamikamica as well. If you take the start players out of any team they are going to struggle a bit.Only just watched the match highlights of the Tigers V Storm game and I can see the Storm actually being a low Top 8 team this year. Horrible defence and they only won due to a forward pass and Individual brilliance from the star players. Take them out of the game and I really struggle to see how
And Smith went down earlyTbf to them, they still have Grant, Bromwich and Munster, possibly Kamikamica as well. If you take the start players out of any team they are going to struggle a bit.
