At the start of the season, I published an article based around my results tracker for the NRL. For those who don’t particularly want…
Everyone loves a good expansion article, and everyone seems to want to move teams all over the country to make it happen. Need a…
For many years now I have been maintaining a simple spreadsheet tracking the NRL, and coming into the 20th season since the new competition…
NQ since 1850!! My word you must have seen a lot in your days 😉
We had a great season with a team that is finally gelling. If we can keep Moylan fit for another year we should be there or there about next year as well.
Things are looking bright in FNQ, and not just because summer arrived with a bang a couple of weeks ago. You have a great team that is just firing on all cylinders and Ming the Merciless leading them in the right direction.
I hope we meet in the GF next year because it’s our turn to win a game.

Moses misses birth of daughter as Eels seal Grand Final berth while Taumalolo faces World Cup ban for high shot
The Cows had a cracking season mate and in this comp is just like the Highlander, there can be only one. Bad luck but an awesome game to watch from a neutral perspective. Things are looking good in North Queensland.
I can’t wait for the mighty Sharks to get you back in the preliminary finals next season 😉

We was robbed it tells ya, robbed.
Add to that JT the younger forgot to clock off in the last minute like everyone else to deny us our right of a premiership this year. It’s just unfair.

Absolutely.
If there is one thing all league fans can agree on it was to fix the season in order to gift the Sharks a win so big Gal, the most beloved and respected player of his generation could go out a winner. It was a fairytale for sure.
Or maybe we just played better than everyone else. Oh and Will Chambers forgot to pass the ball to Cooper Cronk who was unmarked with the line wide open in the dying seconds. Thanks Will.

BEARS!!!! They’re coming back baby. He didn’t mention a team so still in with a shot.
BREAKING: NRL to forge ahead with 17th team in 2023
Not too hard when you are the only bidder taken seriously for the olympics and COVID free.
NRL confirms 2021 grand final venue
Well done Latrell.
This has to be the first time I have seen a shoulder charge to the head followed by a swinging arm in the same tackle.
Top shelf mate, top shelf. See you next year.
Things get intense after Latrell Mitchell's hideous high shot on former teammate
BEEEEEEAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRSSSSSS.
Hang on these are all QLD teams……………….never mind.
D-day arrives for NRL expansion candidates
I thought punching was an immediate send off. Have we walked back on this one as well now??
Bring back the biff.
Kane Evans sin binned for two wild punches on Cronulla centre
A very happy Rugba League to you too PVL.
We need this bloke on the Olympics committee for 2032. He just gets things done.
NRL gets the green light to complete Round 20 in Queensland
This is the missing piece in the puzzle for me. I didn’t realise the players had been let out to roam freely amongst a no doubt awe struck and admiring general population.
In that case the complete lockdown makes total sense. Please ignore almost everything I have said on the issue.
Never be afraid to go off half cocked 😉
UPDATED: Footy chaos as NRL, AFL postpone games with Queensland in lockdown
Don’t mention the war.
I did it once but think I got away with it.
UPDATED: Footy chaos as NRL, AFL postpone games with Queensland in lockdown
Except when the Titans play.
I’m sure they could still find a way to lose under those circumstances.
UPDATED: Footy chaos as NRL, AFL postpone games with Queensland in lockdown
It’s a tough call, but these players should already be fully isolated so it’s a bit rough to make them go through all this bubble rigmarole and then treat them like they haven’t. Keep the crowds away, absolutely.
They should also let the teams relocate if needed. Instead they have been told to stay in their hotels and sit and wait. It doesn’t bode well for teams wanting to set up in QLD again if this is how they are going to be treated.
UPDATED: Footy chaos as NRL, AFL postpone games with Queensland in lockdown
Lockdown = needed. Go hard go early and I can’t fault that.
However saying no sport can be played “state wide” is an overreaction at the moment, especially when the players are already under strict isolation rules.
There were two games of the NRL due to be played in Brissie tonight, they could still go ahead with no crowds but it would be easy to postpone them to tomorrow and allow teams to relocate to Townsville.
The game in Rocky this afternoon should have been allowed to proceed.
I have no idea about the AFL as I don’t follow the code.
UPDATED: Footy chaos as NRL, AFL postpone games with Queensland in lockdown
Nope, players and families are in the bubble, no outside contact.
I’m pretty sure channel 9’s crew are in the same bubble for this exact reason but can’t confirm that.
I have no idea why the game can’t go ahead in Rocky this afternoon and move others to Townsville for tomorrow. Unfortunately our government believes that the SE is the only part of QLD that matters and if they are missing out then everyone does.
I’m surprised they didn’t lock down the entire state.

A bit like how Cronk, Slater and Smith made big Mal look so good for all those years.
'Basically non-existent': Moses and Wighton produce disastrous display
Haha yeah, tell that to the Storm faithful.
Hit them really hard I say. The points idea is a good one, along with a salary cap reduction of one million for 2022 for the breach, and one million for 2023 for the players not signing the stat dec’s.
Why are the NRL bending over backwards to accommodate the Dragons?
All good choices. You could throw in punching Nate Miles in his big melon as well.
Perhaps we could make it a mural instead.
The QRL revisit the controversial issue of relocating a Sydney NRL team
OK I watched it again. He clearly leads with the knees. If this was JWH he would already be suspended.

So if we relocate the Sharks to Brisbane does that mean we can erect a statue of Gal out the front of Suncorp Stadium?? He is a Sharks great after all.
Up Up.

He could try leading with his shoulder for a start, you know like tackling, or even take a half stop and flop on top of teddy. He certainly had time. This was just lazy, lazy lazy and dirty. He’s getting worse as time goes on and will need to correct something soon.
Mind you the judiciary seem to just keep letting him off so maybe he can just keep going as is. You don’t need to see his identification. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. You can go about your business, move along.

I hear that young Pearce fellow is pretty talented. Perhaps we should give him a go??
Six talking points from State of Origin Game 2
Big Gal hands down.
Need someone to run like a freight train all day long, Gal’s your man.
Need someone to meet the opposition like a brick wall and grind them into the dirt, Gal’s your man.
Need someone to bleed blue after every last minute freakish bloody QLD win, Gal’s your man.
Need someone to take another hit up on tackle 5 inside the 10, Gal’s your man.
Need someone to punch Nate Miles in the head because he just deserves it, Gal’s your man.
Need help getting out some stitches because they can be a bit itchy, Gal’s your man.
But most importantly, if you need someone to put out the porch lights and bring home your first premiership in 50 years, Gal’s your man.
(That Cam Smith was also pretty handy though.)
