Making it even more impressive, we had one of the hardest starts to the season of any club.

He is a complete loose cannon, needs to be banned for an extended stint, wouldn't mind seeing the back of him, he lacks control. Could have been season over for Munster with that.

Milne is a dirty bastard, he has been trying to get at Munster all game.

Ginnane is a muppet

Cam Murray didn't bounce up when he played us

Lovely hands from Cody...

How does Munster do it? Does he coat himself in teflon? About 10 missed tackles in 1 run.

I was going to ask why they look like a bunch of Seamen.

Embarrassingly soft trys

Bang bang bang from X. Our game against Strom in Melb by comparison has us many levels above Souffs

First half Walker got hands on the ball 12 more times than Teddy. Might explain a bit.

CC is a trend setter

Bumper bars JWH strikes again

Huh, DWZ tried staying on his man for once, and what do you know, it worked,

Who knew Brimson is a FB...

DWZ, Egan, Montoya having shockers

That is 2 absolute howlers from DWZ in defence now

This has been a better quality game than I was expecting.

I get that, but this just looks different. Munster and Cheese got white line fever after the season was done, dumb, but they didn't risk a whole lot. Trindall was not with teammates when he got drunk and allegedly on the nose beers, he left Rudolph's place Sunday night and went off with...

Good plan.

Unlikely that the lawyer will lose. There clearly isn't enough accountability policy in place given how many dodgy ones appear to be running around.

Looking from the outside it looks like he is getting some poor advice. Far from uncommon in the legal world unfortunately.

Dude, that's an insult to Aldi...

Yup, it would be interesting to know what the ratios are. How many who are successful at HM level are also successful at SG Ball level, and so on. If it is 2:1, for example, that would mean for every 10 players who go good at HM level, 1 makes a decent first grader.

Hopefully the leadership at the club has Gus mentoring 3 or 4 decent club people over the next several years with the explicit intention that they become a core part of keeping his work going. He really does know what he is doing, it isn't too complicated, but it does take effort.

We are going to lose some, which is going to hurt, but it is far better to be in the position of abundance and losing some juniors compared with what we've had over last 10 years, a dearth of good junior talent coming through.

Yeah, and he is going to cop the consequences for that. What will almost certainly go unrecognised is the likelihood that he is struggling to cope with something and has done the all too macho male thing of self-medicating in an irresponsible fashion. We've seen this kind of pattern in RL all...

Sad for him, everything is on the up for him this year, first choice half to partner Hynes, has been playing well enough, looking likely to lock in a first grade spot for years to come, and has basically self-sabotaged with this.

A very insightful dig at the problematic systems that most likely lie behind many of the problems we are seeing.

I went along to the movies back when Wild Wild West came out, sat back, felt a little annoyed that someone had brought their kids along, both under 3 by the looks of it. If you've seen the movie the opening sequence includes a guy getting decapitated by a spinning metal frisbee of death. I...

He is an exemplar of the standards of objective journalism that Murdoch's people hold dear - extremely low.

He did 10 runs for a total of 56 metres, barely 5m per run, so yeah, probably hard to see him given he was swamped by blue and white jerseys most of the time.

All of the minutes

Mahoney wasn't in the early season Qld training squad. Neither was Walters but he probably ahead of Reed for Qld at the moment. If Slater has Munster, DCE, and Walsh in the spine he will probably go to one of the other halves or fullbacks he has in his squad; Ponga, Brimson, Mam, Dearden, if...

I was really expecting a lot more from the likes of Thompson, the Safiti's, Pierce-Paul, and Hetherington though. About the only one of their forwards who looked up to much was Dylan Lucas, and even he didn't run 100m. They were rubbish, they didn't look like they wanted to be there.

Critta and Fox

They are looking fragile, on paper their team could ragdoll ours. They beat the storm earlier this season, and smoked the dragons, only just lost to chooks last week. But today they had almost nothing, despite getting most of the calls.

Well he had an absolute smashing game against Knights in Cup today, which is all you ever want from a bloke who gets dropped. If you have Kayo you can watch the game, he had an absolute masterclass of a game.

The effort is there, the team has cohesion, and the players are buying into the systems, especially in defense, and it is starting to put more and more teams off. The bite in our attack is also coming back, and it is adding to the nerves of other teams, they know that if they can't put us away...

Anasta: “I know Jack quite well and although he may look like he is geeing up I don’t think he is. I think he is serious.”...

CC played it down in the presser, said Jack is a good guy but gets a bit emotional, O'Brien looked genuinely shocked when the press people told him about it.

Not holding my breath. Going to make for an interesting return game. Maybe Reed will pull his head in for a bit. He was right that Hetherington needed to be sanctioned, but he needed to shut up sooner.

If he does that to a Bronko or a Storm player it would be huge news and he'd be facing a big sanction, but is against one of us so it will be ignored.

He played the first four rounds of NSW cup. Today's injury was very unlucky, if not down to a dodgy tackle.

It absolutely should, but I'm not holding my breath. Low tackles with force into the side of the knee are targeting the MCL, if someone is doing it unintentionally they should be pulled up real quick, but it is hard to believe that someone can get to NRL and not have it drilled into them that...

It was textbook for taking out someone's MCL, really rubbish stuff. Poor bloke, that's most of the season he'll be out, and assuming it heals well.

He was immense again, really bad luck for Patolo, terrible for him. The tackle on him was dodgy as.

C'mon boys, finish with intensity and enterprise, so long since we've really been in this position, time to make a statement, we are a team who loves to win!

Taaffe on for Hutch, yeah boy, show us something.

What happened to Curran?

Tracey has thrown the last pass for a try on both the left and right.

Now is when we need to up the intensity, but have been too often guilty of dropping it.

We better get a penalty every time that the knights put a hand in the face.

They can't buy a quick ptb atm the Raiders.

Raiders FB having a nightmare

At this point Bonkos have had 30% of the ball and a rubbish completion rate, yet they have a faster play the ball. Work that one out.

Must be getting ready for Mystery round, or whatever they call it

About the only thing going for it was that it was close. But that was also a negative due to the risk of golden point time, that would have really sucked.

@The DoggFather is that game over?

I count 7 lead changes so far. Wonder what the record is...

Matt lodge with hair looks like if Reuben Garrick was about 20% of the way to transforming into the Hulk.

Turbo noped out of it, just like Montoya yesterday.

One of life's mysteries, why doesn't Fifita score more tries like that...

Hold the phone...

Okunbor, Pele, Perham, TPJ, Thompson, Burns, and Casey all say "Hi".

He is in the right place at the moment, he needed to one of two backup centres in a top 8 squad. He was treated as one of our top two centres last season in our bottom 5 squad and just wasn't quite ready for it. He should be a regular in FG within the next few seasons (they maybe not at...

Fantastic moment for Alamoti, good on him.

CC also said the team was going to play conservative to start the game against the Roosters, and said Critta would do a great job at FB against Storm. He isn't shy of throwing mixed messages at the media. Speaking of mixed messages to the media, all of this is moot anyway because Gus picks the...

Young Bostock clearly well liked by his teammates.

Oh yeah, keep it coming. Loving the tries, also loving the crowd shots, most of these Darwinians are completely munted.

How ironic, Gutho copping a leg injury while Bostock scores a try, after he drove into him with the knees in the first half.

*fairy queen

Jakey almost too casual there, but got it.

Hahahahahah Someone check the parra forum. Bet they have gone from "we got this", to "who the hell decided we play a home game in Darwin???!!!!"

JMK keeps getting better.

Couple of great tries from the Phins, the JMK to Kerr to the FB try was superb stuff.

Absolute grub who is the first to scream like a two year old at someone else's foul play.

Are the dolphins losing sponsors?

When we play the warriors can the version that played tonight please turn up.

It has a bit of a curve, if you try to do stuff before you have the skills it gets frustrating. Henry starts as a peasant with no skills, the game wants you to really take that on board.

If you don't see me for a few weeks sometime later this year, it will be because of KCD2.

Anyone able to figure out how Tedesco stayed on the field after the trip attempt which was way more than just sticking a leg out, it was a full on kick to the shins?

Chooks look a lot weaker with Teddy in 1 compared with Manu.

So Hughes gets pushed into Keary by another chook and that is an obstruction penalty? Righto

Storm are the only team with a ruck infringement against them, and they have the slower PTB in the first half, despite having more tackle breaks and line breaks. I'm not a fan of their wrestling, but the ref has been tighter on them this game than the home team.

No way the ref is going easy on Storm this game. Last two infringements were extremely tight, and Nelson clearly getting up to play the ball then.

Katoa having an awful game.

Can someone please staple Tedescos shorts to his waist, sick of seeing his crack

The awareness of Hughes made that a try

New contender for worst ever challenge?

I knew it was the whisky, not me

People in this thread are seeing things wrong, Hull FC is clearly an excellent club, run by brilliant minds. They've made some ace signings in the recent past, and by looking at Perham they demonstrate that their masterly signing spree is still ongoing. They are to be applauded and definitely...

A "defo" case with a difference, this time it is against Ch 7, instead of driven by them... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-17/nsw-sydney-bondi-junction-stabbing-defamation-benjamin-cohen/103734072

If the game situation is well in our favour I can see Blake coming into the game mid second half as the 7. It will give CC (and everyone else) a chance to see how he goes defensively with the advantage of going up against tired forwards and with a healthy lead.

That's hilarious!

So... the perfect political staffer?

He is in the top 30 next season for a reason.

If this tragedy and absolute horror show happened at the hands of someone with schizophrenia who was off his meds and had a paranoid psychotic episode, I'm sorry to say it will probably happen again. All levels of government, and all sides of politics, have been part of the steady dismantling...

Sharks got to maybe 3rd gear at best, and only for moments.

Which is precisely why almost the entire population is horrified by what has happened and finds it incomprehensible, it is not a sane act, it goes completely against normative human thought and behaviour to do what was done today.
