    Official Round 2 - Dogs vs Eels - Consolidated Match Thread

    This is by far and away the worst Canterbury team I have watched since I began watching the Dogs at Belmore in 1984. There are some serious problems inside this club and drastic changes need to happen now.

    Opinion NRL has to decide on expansion or relocation writes Paul Kent

    Relocating a club won’t work. If expansion is done, two completely new identities need to be considered. My big beef is the amount of games that get played out of ANZ stadium. It’s by far and away the worst stadium in the entire country yet there is an incredibly large scale of games played...

    Cameron Smith set to become all time points record holder!

    Was reading last night that Smith is set to overhaul Hazem next season. Sitting just 36 points behind, it would take a season ending injury early on for Smith fail in his chase of the record. A real shame to see an absolute twat of a player like Smith get a record he doesn’t really deserve.
