Paps should be the Blues fullback…

'Both were really clear': Roosters in a rage over ref's contentious calls as Storm win on the back of two dubious tries

That’s why McGuire is the man For the job…lot better than his post flag years….he could keep being coach of the Blues if the squad is selected by others…Freddie coached the Blues and he was deeply in love /bed with the Roosters and Panthers!!!

'It's a big fat no from me': Mal would pick Roos if made to choose as 'red flags' raised on any Souths deal

Nope…didn’t even have them in the 8 for this year…they were lucky last year…and now back to where they were pre23!!

'Disproportionate reaction': Forget the doomsayers - Sydney's shock loss to Richmond means absolutely nothing

Agree with the view except the woke Rubbish..yes seems a directive from HQ to try and speed the game up more and avoid bad decisions…but it is actually raising bad decisions since they don’t call some great tackles and lousy disposals…you have to pay reward great tackles more or the game ends up a chaotic mess for periods..which is what we are increasingly seeing…

Six Points: Commonsense solution to score review influx, and why this star Tiger should get two weeks

Get your point with Maguire, but that was after a number of years…one thing though is Souths need a lot of fitness after the last 3 games where they basically run out of puff after 10 minutes. Except Murray!!

Demetriou has 'no doubt' he can turn around Souths after disaster derby sees Latrell binned in Roosters riot

What a rubbish call…McCrae is taking a tackle and diving forward to handpass and hits into the side/Back of King who is heading to where the ball is going….not a suspension at all..accidental..

Saints rocked by star's shock suspension for innocuous high bump

Maybe they should bin JD and get Madge back!!!…..

PS found playing AFL Saturdays agreat warm up before hitting the paddock to play League on Sundays!!

Christchurch almighty: New South Island NRL bid unveils logo, colours, mascot to be ready for 2026 ... and rival Crusaders

I would like to see the actual current Juniors numbers and Seniors playing League in Perth and NZ South Island – probably PNG as well (I have been to PNG and have relatives born there and they due to the saftey issues have all moved down to OZ/Qld so although would love a team just dont think its possible currently for 5-10 years).

You need either avery good base to feed the Club with Players – or Big backers with big wallets to get them going and stealing players from Existing Clubs Juniors and Seniors – Like the Storm did….so it should be decided on Numbers and Money !

PS I dont think the AFL is worried about NRL at all – okay they are looking at building up there Juniors etc more in NSW and Qld and they have been doing that for the past 20 years…was in Cairns for 20 years and my boys all played AFL there and the support and resourcing to the clubs was terrific. Note I grew up in Wagga and Canberra so played mainly League but also played AFL….both are great games to play…

True…but still a crap commentator!

Bought not bred: Stray Bulldogs have lost their way by losing sight of what made their club great

Gould’s past it..just listen to his rambling incoherent commentary on 9…he is destroying the place….

Wasnt really a apology just saying he didnt think it was racial – hello where has he been with Andrew Symonds, Adam Goodes et al….Monkey – what ? is not racial calling someone that? – what he thinks it a zoological term, a comical term..its all the same..Racist.

NRL News: Leniu pleads guilty to monkey racial slur, apologises to Mam - 'I said the word but I didn't mean it in a racist way'

I would think those 4 teams will all make the 8 this year…and there performances back that up…maybe next year the other 4 teams that make the 8 go to Vegas…that would be the way to spread it around..teams that haven’t been in the 8 for a while get a go

Leniu to face judiciary over alleged 'monkey' racial slur, heated hotel confrontation revealed, Tuqiri blasts Robbo

One question I have a bit this game is around the HIA – if Meaney has to go off to a HIA check and 15 minutes how come with that big collision and head knock’s to three players skulls (the Tacklers Radley and Collins in Particular) how come no HIA – just a quick check by the club water boys and play on…

ANALYSIS: Radley escapes ban for 'unnecessary' hit as Roosters run into Melbourne masterclass

Instead of Bateman I would have this year put in John Sattler as the John of the Team..now up in Heaven and one of the best Props…maybe replace Graham with him – since Satts played with a broken jaw whilst Graham liked smashing up faces (Like Sam’s)…also they are Poms.

Yes Peter Sterling is a great inclusion – the best Halfback ever..better than Johns and Cleary in my opinion..St Peter for sure.

Easter weekend and the Biblical First 13

Exactly -saw that early pass and the whole house yelled “Forward!”…but then the play went on – thought the Ref pulled it up for that but all the commentators and the bunker where focused on the end phase of the play – the got that wrong but in a weird way they got the call right for the full play and the early forward pass…we had to turn down the rubbish commentators going on about it when the call was actually in the end right…

Id rather see him go off in the Accused Stand!!

NRL News: Gus blasts 'greatest abomination perpetrated on our game in history', Roosters thrilled with star signing

Phil I think had too many head knocks in his career and why he talks rubbish most of the time and gets emotional about things…he needs a brain scan!

Or Ricky Stuart – I would add also Steve Mortimer…..I even wonder if he is better then fellow Panther Greg Alexander!

1 point for a Bye…that will make it interesting

Dragons 2023 Outlook: As St George Illawarra stare down wooden spoon, is Griffin about to get Hook?

Yes looks a very soft nice draw for the Dragons….but no doubt they will find a way to stuff up some games they should win.

One thing limiting soccer’s growth is the huge registration fee’s they now have..their Administration is forcing huge rego fee’s on the young teams to fund their own executives and mates…one of my boys went and played a few years and it was a joke what they charge and demand compared to AFL and NRL..which he went back to with his brothers mainly due to the stuck up officials, parents and so called teams elite best players bias..he tension on the sieline by the protective parents was unbearable!…anyway all my boys played AFL – some NRL – but mainly support AFL and watch NRL- this generation is different – I came from a League background – played it till I got suspended for a good period of time and went across and played Aussie Rules with some Victorian born mates up here in NSW/ACT and ended up loving it – made the Junior Rep side toured SA and VIC – won a premiership in the local comp (their first and only for 30 plus years till they won another in any grade.!…my Dad and League relo’s were spewing and giving me heaps as a traitor (and other names)…but love both games – and let my boys and girls’ choose to follow what they want…we go to games of both comps throughout the year as a get together..

Is the AFL really having an impact above the Barassi line?

Yep agree – and also agree re woke – as soon as someone throws that in I consider they have lost the argument or are not worth listening to – its a dumb new word I just don’t get except that the people using it generally don’t have a clue – the word of last resort!

Great Comment – best comment of the blog…not one Pfffft in it !

Making a mockery of All-Stars tag: Why is NZ Maori vs Indigenous game treated with such disrespect?

They could look at it mid season when the State of Origin break is on….yep some players maybe in the SOS but everyone else would be available.
