The Storm - the most professional team I've come across in the last 50 years,

The Panthers are not playing to their ability or talent. Could this be a backlash to the sacking of Anthony Griffin? I don't think…

Based on Rounds 1 to 26 we can't expect consistency from the officials during the finals. However, Tony Archer and his team have the…
You don’t need the analysis, Abbot. There’s enough replays and you can make up your own mind. Try it tonight for an hour with the sound muted.
Ad nauseum: Channel Nine's coverage of the Ashes is not up to standard
Last Friday was an embarrassment of riches. Footie on 9, Cricket one click away on Gem. And sound muted so I didn’t have to listen to Gould or Ponting. Heaven!!
Ad nauseum: Channel Nine's coverage of the Ashes is not up to standard
Finally, Mary, it’s taken the best part of a week for someone to state the obvious. Reynolds is the Suncorp specialist and in the best form of any half back in the game. How Moses, with one game against an injury depleted Bulldogs outfit, could show the credentials to be the best choice half back, leaves me gobsmacked. Freddy will have plenty of time when he’s unemployed to support his mates.
Why Reynolds would have been a better option for Blues as Moses faces a no-win situation
One of the best games of the year.
Second-rate Friday night 'blockbuster' an insult to fans as Origin makes mockery of NRL draw
“The only dampener on a captivating day was the Edgbaston pitch itself, a surface unworthy of the quality of cricket played on it”
So much criticism of Aus fielding tactics, and why laud Eng batting? What were we to do when Eng served up a pitch to suit their “bazball” tactics. Let’s hope our batters treat their bowlers with equal arrogance. Bat for 2 days then have 2 days for Lyon to get them out.
Root ton, reverse-ramps, first-ball mayhem and shock declaration - Aussies endure peak Bazball on thrilling opening day
“Mitchell Moses will be the Blues halfback for Game II” – Heaven forbid!
The Maroons at Suncorp are about a hundred steps above a 3rd grade Bulldogs outfit on a Monday arvo. He’d be gassed after 5 minutes.
Round 15 Talking Points: New duo will light up Origin, Moses wins Blues battle, NRL sides get mid-year wobbles
Yep. Moses can perform against a 3rd grade team with little experience. Maroons at Suncorp is a step too far for him. If Freddy picks him over Reynolds, the Suncorp specialist, he’ll be signing his own death warrant.

Teddy is past his use by date. Hogs the ball and runs around like a headless chook. Time for Dylan Edwards. Turbo has no spark; couldn’t contest bombs. Was beaten by a front rower. Graham and Mitchell in centres. Tevita and Hudson-Young out – never to come back. Haas and Jurbo in front row. Olakuatu in 2nd row. Hynes at 5/8th. Crichton at 14. Cleary captain – he must own the team or bring back Reynolds.
Battered Maroons pull off stunning comeback on 'really poor' Blues to put Fittler's future in jeopardy
Mary, please keep this story present, at least until Kent admits his wrongdoing and apologises to the woman.
Paul Kent's domestic violence charges are far more serious than just a 'rugby league soap opera'
So an accidental touch on a touchie is equivalent to a violent swinging arm to the head of an opponent? Get real Wayne. The reason the Dolphins lost was your lengthy tirade just before kick off, whipping their aggression up to fever point. A better use of your time would be coaching discipline, making tackles and holding the ball.

“Let it be resolved in court……” NO, No, No……..Let it be publicly aired, and Kent lambasted and pilloried just like he (Kent) treated Ben Barba, Greg Bird, Dylan Walker, Radrada, Leillua, Michael Slater, Andrew O’Keefe and so on.
Why should he receive special treatment? Fox and Newscorp should be showing some leadership here.

Simonsson was not the reason Parra lost. If Moses was worth his mega pay deal and showed half the cojones of Gutho, they could have made a game of it. Moses has been listening to Brooks too much. “You’ve got the money. No need to put your body on the line. Easy life from now on.”
Mitchell Moses and co need to give it a rest

That’s right. Blame the ref. Both of Souths tries were highly dubious

Sticky’s coaching emphasis all week was his dirty trick’s playbook. You run into the back of a defender when he’s not looking and then do your great academy awards swan dive and then the trainer rushes you off for a HIA to confuse the ref and the bunker. How gullible is Tod Smith and the bunker? What goes around comes around as we saw with the Hammer’s late try to seal the result.

Just concentrate on your own job Jason. Leave racial abuse to the police. Souths had better check their windscreens after 35 missed tackles and 11 errors whilst in possession which allowed Penrith to march up field at will. Mitchell is overrated and Walker needs to control the red mist of his emotions.

Hey Flem. What did you think about Khawaja’s dismissal? I thought Dodgy at best. Live, ball pitched middle/off at best, cut back and missing leg peg. Graphic/hawk eye showed ball pitching leg and cutting further away; then miracle of miracles, straightened onto leg stump. Cricket balls just don’t do that. Probably the same official who delayed Khawaja’s visa!!!

'Not a good look for the game': Latrell and Wighton break silence on 'bit of fun that got out of hand'
The RLPA needs to get their own house in order first, starting with some responsible leadership. Newton has had the gig too long and is stale and ineffective. Welch and co are too emotional. And it’s not “our money”; it’s the game’s and the fans, and the sponsors. They’re the ones putting out their hard earned so the players can enjoy an idyllic lifestyle. So what if Welch got a piece of paper from Harvard? They give them out like toys in corn flakes packets.

Elgar not the captain the Proteas need. Time and again he was clueless with puzzling decisions around bowler choices. David Warner really struggled in the 90’s. He gets to 96, is on strike, so Elgar brings on Rabada, who’s first ball of a spell is always a gift. Short, down the leg side and Warner helps it on the way to the boundary and his first century in 2 years. Why did Elgar take Nortje off? Surely one more over and he may have got the wicket the proteas needed.
