If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away' [Henry David Thoreau]. I'm a bit of a sports addict, love competition.

NRL Round 8 Teams: Cleary back, big ins and outs at Broncos, Eels blood new half, rookie replaces Ponga, Bunnies boosted
Any other old timers like me remember days with so many players in the clinic? I’m sure there are more these days, maybe the training is a bit over the top and the bodys are too tightly wound.

I probably have a few years on you, and I remember a time when cars had the most amazing GPpS (Guiding P1$$ed person System ), with built in AI (Alcoholic Intuition). Not something to voice with pride, it was just truly amazing how the car knew its way home, years ahead of its time in the tech field.

You are correct. And a lot of that is because it just about field position and FG.
Mind you, the risk is there and elevated so rest assured I shall scream long and loud should those stats change.

advertising space and opportunity for broadcasters.
Try and take GP away now and see what the response is…

injuries abound. Supports my argument against GP. Expensive cattle risked just for the NRL to get some extra $$

You have a point, yet a ref could give 10 ‘leg up’ legit penalties to a team in their 20, getting them out of trouble and that’s it. Then a couple of minutes before halftime gives a questionable penalty to the attacking team 5 m out and they score. The where, when and why trump the number!

It’s not the amount of penalties, it’s the where, when and why. And the importance.

yeah, but Uncle Benny has the rep and the stones to run his own show.

he hasn’t said that, so fair ’nuff 😊 I wouldn’t have him .

As a centre perhaps if he has a few more games like yesterday. Not as a winger, why? Because he has made it clear he doesn’t want to play there. Would you take someone to a place they wanted to go if they didn’t want a bar of you? Doubt it.

The ‘top’ and seemingly preferred clubs get the rub of the green, no doubt. Sours the game a bit.

I do wonder if Lomaz’ move had as much to do with him not being able to take the p1$$ out of the coach rather than the position. I remember a carry-one he did on Fox with BlockerPie where he imitated Hook. It was quite unflattering and arguably disrespectful. Lomax has been dropped and stuff before and never this reaction. Is his sudden great form motivated by ‘I’ll show you for telling me I’m the 23rd best centre..’

After yesterday the drums will beat for Uncle Benny

Totally different scenario. It’s not like Hunt plays hooker for his club THEN leaves to play halfback but still puts his hand up to play hooker for his state. Tom T plays FB for his club but centre for his state. He isn’t a centre hating the spot & wanting to be an FB.

He may not turn it down, but the point is that he shouldn’t be offered it in the first place.

Yep, all signed off, gonski.

Great win Dragoons… Might even earn themselves a tip against cranky Robbo’s mob next week.

Lomax for Origin eh, and where do you play him? It can’t be on the wing, the guy is leaving his childhood club, the one that propped him up on an overs contract for many years, to take 150-200$K less p/a just to get away from the wing. Can’t seriously play a guy in Origin in a position that he dislikes sooo much.
'Complete performance' sees Dragons stun Warriors - and Lomax rocket into Origin contention
Yeah, wonder what he was thinking watching the Eels fade to the ‘Phins. Mind you, they might have Uncle Benny in the coaches box in ’25 which changes everything dramatically.

'Both were really clear': Roosters in a rage over ref's contentious calls as Storm win on the back of two dubious tries
Roosters in a rage?? Robbo rightly red hot?? you are kidding!?
Keary touched the ball and should have been a change over but missed
Teddy trips and stays on field
Hughes clearly held back and interfered with
Jennings loses the ball before last Rooster try.
And that was only half of them.. Chooks got nothing to complain about.

And with interesting undergarments (that def. were not yours) in the back, making the Memory Erasement cruel… (or kind.. 😛 )
