We shouldn't have lost to either

When we first heard the news of this i had a feeling this was coming. I can imagine a precedent being set and we'll see a huge amount of change / introduction to new policies around player welfare / training etc moving forward. Shame it had to be us tho. No doubt RFM and the others who...

He better not be able to prove he was targeted, and the trainer who flogged him hopefully made others who were late suffer the same punishment

Also i'm not having a dig at mental health, it's a real deal - i'm just highlighting how it's now something we talk about (which is obviously good).

His lawyers know we live in a time where 'mental health' is the latest buzz. If they can prove he was 'distraught' or asked for the wrestling to 'stop', then now plays the mental card / can't work etc, then we'll be in deep shit and likely lose. End of the day, he's an employee and employee's...

Didn't hear boos, heard cheers for Taaffe. Nothing wrong cheering a player on who when we last saw him, was in Disney land. If someone did boo hutcho and they were near me I'd have given them an ear flogging

I didn't think the ref did anything wrong. He's trying to defuse a situation and if Mahoney keeps egging old mate Brutus on and disobeying instruction, he should be warned then binned. I don't mind the niggle but if Mahoney ever wants that captain's band again he needs to know when to shut up.

I feel like we've gotta stop tearing him a new asshole after every game. He's obviously doing what the coach wants and today i thought he was solid

I was at the game and haven't seen the replay, but I'm not sure they were calling it a forward pass, I thought they said it was a knock on and the ball went forward (with the knock coming from Crichton's chin).. that's why we got our challenge back... Maybe I just misheard the explanation

What is the point of touchies?

Likewise, i never watch replays of games we lose (and I miss live) but I watched the storm game based on everyone's feedback here and was impressed. Unfortunately we lost it due to a few individual mistakes but as a team we did fantastic. I have a great feeling about newcastle, like we're...

Or we grow our own (like we are) and we get them during their prime years with some loyalty to boot!

Players should have to pass an IQ test before they can sign a professional NRL contract

Yeah i saw it, i don't recall seeing him tho, just hearing him talk... absolute buffoon.

Taaffe can sit this one out
