Massive rugby league fan! A cricket purist with a technical eye for commentary. One saying I always live by is from the great Wayne Bennett - "If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got"

With the dust barely settled on the storm that was Des Hasler leaving the Eagles' nest for Belmore, the question needs to be asked:…
With the NRL draw released last week it got the taste buds tingling for the greatest game of all - right at the height…
It is, as they say, a good problem to have. With the impending return of the explosive Michael Gordon from a season-ending knee reconstruction,…
The subject matter of Manly is always hard to swallow, although the irony of that statement is that I’m a Roosters fan! Now there’s a conversation for another time….
Hasler's departure could be key to Eagle success
100% agree Moondog. It seems Newcastle and Manly, off the back of media led coach hysteria, have directly swapped betting lines to where they should appear! Tigers minor premiership favourites – no chance in the world for minor, big chance for major…

With SBW on the verge of signing with Rugby League, I’m assuming this was the catalyst for the whole sport of Rugby Union to collapse in on itself and disappear into a black hole, such is the importance of the man…
Gazing into the crystal ball for 2012's sport round-up
Touché. I was one of the many within the fantasy realms who cried at the loss of such a huge point scorer. The irony being I replaced him long-term with Coote who was not too shabby himself in fantasy points output.
Penrith Panthers to benefit from selection headaches
I’m an unabashed Gordon fan and think he has definitely done enough to earn first right to the fullback jumper at Penrith. I agree that then after this he can challenge for representative honors. With this in mind, the big question is where to play the dynamic Coote? First choice would be into 6 so he can still play that semi-roaming role he is so good at rather than outposted to wing. This meaning Trav Burns back to play bench utility/hooker which he is deft at filling in as. Thoughts?
Penrith Panthers to benefit from selection headaches
I agree that there have been no real indications so far of player burn out at Manly, but I guess the idea the article is relaying is the Eagles may have unintentionally avoided this occuring like other clubs have experienced – nipped in the bud so to speak. ‘He enjoys the support of players’ – as did Stuart and Bennett – clear though that it came at a long-term cost to those teams…
