The season previews are starting to roll out, spring practice is out of the way, media days are in progress and, despite the season still a couple of months away there are plenty of great games to look forward to – and maybe book some tickets for.
Fox Sports has become an easy and understandable target for many sports fans, especially recently. And now ESPN are beginning to leave many fans scratching their heads.
This week saw the release of the Ashley Madison account data, a dating site for married individuals looking for an affair. This has resulted in a few strained marriages around town.
Every season we go through the talk of the NRL draw not being fair, as fans of one team battling for a spot in the eight feel aggrieved that another team had an easier run.
We should restrict the amount of money available to so-called journalists. We should make a moral judgement over who they socialise with, and to make that easier we will restrict the amount of time they are able to leave their premises each day. We can moralise even more by sacking them for an indiscretion, even if the law says it is only a summary offence. Who draws the moral line? The most righteous amongst us, of course
After all, a well informed population is more valuable then a bunch of footballers

I doubt they’ll be involved. Walker and Keary are their halves

actual Roosters involvement, or his management mentioning the Roosters to the media to drum up his price?

Again, Souths – 1 premiership in the last 49 season
Dragons – 1 premiership in the last 41 seasons
Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker need to clean up their games
it doesn’t matter where they make contact

Not sure how the hair is going to handle the humidity
Townsend joining Cowboys on three-year deal: reports
But this is what makes being a fan of certain teams great. If you’re a Storm supporter you expect to win most weeks, and a premiership every 2 years is great. If you are a Bulldogs supporter every win is going to be the greatest, and as they pick themselves up and start to win the odd game against the top teams, those wins are awesome. When you are on top for a while, a round 8 win against another top team is good, but the unexpected wins are great
Are the Dogs now the elephant in the room?
Smith looks like the sort of guy that would get very loose without Bellamy
And you can count on one hand the players were played well after leaving the Storm

El Classico lost its appeal when the full effects of the Bosman rule came into effect
A European Super League is elitist, arrogant and criminal
The 2021 roster is supposed to be better then 2020 and 2019, however they have gone backwards. The combination of Cotric, Flanagan, Allan and Hethrington are on paper greater then Holland, Foran, Smith and Tolman. This is on the “offensive genius”
They may have some legacy contracts, but they have since extended guys who simply should not be there, guys like DWZ and Elliot.
Newcastle were in a bad spot, but they complemented their buys with juniors coming through the ranks (the Saifiti brothers, Fitzgibbon, Barnett, Best, etc). The Dogs don’t have that. The players coming through aren’t good enough. Talent identification doesn’t seem to be there, nor does lower grade coaching. For all the criticisms I have of Barrett, this isn’t his fault, these players need to be ready for first grade before they get there. How many 100 game players have come through the system in the last decade?
Their issues are more then just the salary cap

It was natural for Tedesco to be quiet. The rest of the Roosters spine had played fewer games then the Storm spine had won premierships
Eight talking points from NRL Round 6
What round do you see the Dogs first win? Or do you see more hit ups by props on the line on the 5th and ruining any chance of winning a game?

Fittler plays by his own rules, not the Fulton way

1. Tedescho 2, Addo Carr 5. Turbo.
Not sure if Fittler persists with FB’s in the centres, but if Walker is 6 then Wighton and Best will be centres. Or Wighton is 6 and the centre spot is open

It was just a let down spot for Penrith. No team can be at their best every week. I wouldn’t read into the performance for either team

He’s not a fullback, let alone a 6. He’s a good winger

Andrew Abdo’s fining of the Raiders is inconsistent, incompetent and disgraceful
no one is fair game anywhere
