    1. Grothe is hopeless in defense. I doubt he'll get picked for rep football again anyway, given how he got kicked out of the Kangaroo squad last year. 2. What's Cooper done in the last season to warrant selection? 3. Anasta at half, fail 4. Laffranchi at prop, epic fail 5. Ryan at prop, epic...

    1. First of all, lol at Minichiello being a has-been. Stewart's great in attack, but doesn't offer that much by way of kick returns and isn't great defensively. Patten's been in terrific form for the last year or so. 2. Better backs, like who? Cooper's done sweet fuck all for ages, Lyon's...

    re: The Official F1 Thread Finally got around to watching to 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix the other day :eek: I miss Schumi :( Loved his pass on Raikkonen at the end

    2008 NRL Premiership

    NSW team is pretty hard to pick this year, and not because of an excess of good players :( At this stage, I'd go with: 01. Minichiello (if not fit - Patten) 02. Hayne 03. Gasnier 04. Pomeroy (been playing as well as anyone else in this position) 05. Monaghan (has some size and has been...

    2008 NRL Premiership

    Thought I should finish this. Based of how I felt pre-season, not taking into account what's happened already this season: Cowboys - Depend too much on Thurston. Should make the 8, but don't have the class throughout their top 17 to challenge the top 4 teams. Warriors - Lacking a dominant...

    2008 NRL Premiership

    Anyone else out at the game last Friday? Great crowd. Complete domination by the Roosters. Their defensive line isn't going to be easily cracked this season. Mitch Pearce has really improved this season. I had to laugh at Steve Folkes in the post game interview, saying that he thought the Dogs...

    2008 NRL Premiership

    An absolute legend. He was instrumental in our grand final victory (despite playing with a busted shoulder). Also put on one of the best tackles I've ever seen in the Roosters v. Knights 2000 Preliminary Final. Joe-E Johns chips and regathers, has Sean Rudder (lol) along with numerous others...

    I just don't see the logic in this. You're deserving losers too if you allow the opposition team to make it into a position to be able to take a shot at field in extra time. Also, what if one team commits a blatant penalty, ie obstructing a player chasing an attacking kick? Surely then the...

    Yeah, Mason made a really "fucken shockings" 27 tackles, 0 misses and 151 metres on the weekend, while O'Meley made over 100 pathetic metres as well - that's more than any of the Dogs forwards besides SBW made today

    Thanks for the help guys. My tute's Wednesday too. Lucky the essay's so short, although I need to study for finance mid sem too :S Just one other question, did you guys have much of an introduction or just launch in it?

    The Storm's issue with their attack was the Roosters seamless defensive line :cool:

    2008 NRL Premiership

    i don't like it at all firstly, why is it ok to win by a field goal in the 80th minute, but not in the 81st? also, by your concept, say it's 12-all at the end of 80 minutes, then in extra time Team A kicks 2 penalty goals and a FG, but Team B scores a try, Team A lose the game despite being...

    6/8 week one to 2/8 this week :( plus driving down to WIN Stadium and then getting rather wet :( As long as Manly continue to play Lyon at 5/8th, they will continue to be shit. they don't have any points in them

    2008 NRL Premiership

    My thoughts on the season ahead: Melbourne - Still the team to beat. Don't know if Folau will be as effective as last year Brisbane - Will be up there as always, especially if Wallace can create an effective combination with Lockyer Penrith - Don't have the halves (plus Elliot is their...

    IMO 01. Minichiello 02. Roberts 03. Soliola 04. Perrett 05. Kenny-Dowall 06. Anasta 07. Pearce 08. Paea 09. Aubusson J. 10. O'Meley 11. Tupou 12. Mason 13. Fitzgibbon 14. Aubusson M. 15. Shillington 16. Myles 17. Sa It's a shame Shackleton's going to be out for a...

    It's more with the way Smith has cleaned out the deadwood from the team, a point Newcastle people seem to miss. The players he has been getting rid of are the ones that have relied on Johns over the years to make them look like semi-decent first graders. Remember how Newcastle could never win...

    If the Dragons can stay injury free (unlikely as that is), I think that they will have a very good season. They have a lot of strike power with Cooper, Gaz, Chase and Soward, as well as the Morris twins. That's assuming Brown keeps Rangi Chase and Jamie Soward in the halves, which this article...
