Those 1-3 years with the unlimited interchange the scores were insane but there were some tight ones. There also were teams who stacked talent and pumped the bottom of the table teams. Now it’s just every game, could be 1st vs 2nd and still have 80 points.
Did you expect anything different? We’ve changed and destroyed several halfbacks careers to accommodate Burton. They had the form to do something like this.
I made a thread the last two years about him not getting enough ball from our receivers and he himself not searching for it. The money we pay him he needs to touch it more but alas I was shouted down as usual
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-13/memphis-grizzlies-forward-brandon-clarke-dies-aged-29/106673088. Current Grizzlies player Brandon Clarke has died at the age of 29 from a suspected drug overdose.
It was risky even in the last two years to try and win with a roster based on defense. You can’t sit here and carry on about this years rule changes. Everyone knew where the game was going except our two knuckleheads
Not that I am defending Montoya but if I were him or Xerri I would be exasperated that I was dropped while almost everyone else is not held to the same standard.
The most concerning thing is again certain coaches influenced the decisions and it suits their team (cough Robinson) I do not think there has been a rule change that has not benefited
Them since he has been a rules advisor
That team has had success for the last 3-4 years, you would have to back them in they had earned the right. We have played well for 15 rounds or half a year, they don’t have the same luxury.
If Salmon, Tracey, Burton or Montoya are named tonight I’m going to eat my favourite winter comfort food like a chick who just got dumped on her periods.
I have done what I think Ciraldo would rate his players. Connor Tracey 9/10
Jonathan Sua 3/10
Brandon Xerri 1/10
Stephen Crichton 9/10
Entries Tuala 5/10
Sean O'Sullivan 1/10
Lachlan Galvin 9/10
Samual Hughes 5/10
Bailey Hayward 9/10
Leo Thompson 5/10
Sitilli Tupouniua 8/10

I am sick of this notion that playing with that level of injury is putting the team first. You are 100% right, the surgery would have put the team first. When he returns at full strength we would have got full value out of him. Now he is basically NSW Cup tier.
Every single great team has an elite fullback. They are contributing 12-18 points a game, our fullback is lucky to have contributed to 12 points this season.
You are one of the ones who went so hard against me the last few years and got it all wrong. Enjoy our current form because this is what you wanted. There was no way I’m going to let slide certain posters who’ve been absolute pricks to me for years
They will still crumble in the finals. It does tighten up an inch around then and they won’t handle the pressure. We folded last year the second someone matched us in line speed lol
Sadly it’s not like soccer or the NFL where you can just dump 12 players and sign replacements from other places. You get stuck in this sport with rule changes and that’s why it should take two years to come into effect.
The worst sport on earth is basketball because the baskets don’t really mean much, before your brain has processed it the opposition team have already scored a quick lay up and back and forth it goes. Games like rugby league you are meant to savour and enjoy the tries, not have 6 scored in 25...
Everyone was expecting 10 juniors to come through when Gus took over, instead all we have is a hurt kid who was in the system before Gussy boys fat paws signed us up to a third string QLD school.
Whole state basically votes against the Aboriginal voice in SA. Communists on the left put it in anyway, liberals don’t use it once in their campaign. Are they that scared of being cancelled Australia’s biggest threat? (far left loonies)
His game plans must have been so rubbish. They used to claim he was too smart for everyone else though, probably out thought himself on every single part of the game
