I'll start this article by congratulating Queensland and their supporters on a deserving victory. A memorable win for three future immortals that without doubt…
The seven-tackle restart rule must be reconsidered, or perhaps even abolished if there are too many grey areas. I understand this rule was implemented…
In a certain sense I think us league fans are winners, looking back at 2012 when Dessie went to the Dogs their games against Manly that year had that finals intensity to it. I can’t wait to watch them play each other.
Are there any winners from the Broncos-Rabbitohs coaching swap?
Curtis Scott seems to have escaped your harsh judgement Tim. Luckily for him he didn’t retaliate by squeezing Walker’s cojones.
Your NRL team sucks. Here’s why
It’s up to the NRL to draw a line but I don’t think they will. What Robert Lui did was just as bad if not worse yet hardly anyone batted an eyelid when he was playing again and correct me if I’m wrong but his time away from the game was shorter and his victim received no compensation.
Personally I don’t think either of them should have been given second chances. Now I’m no angel and have definitely made mistakes in life but I have never assaulted anyone. Again though it’s up to the NRL to say enough is enough.
After Women in League Round, we need to talk about Matt Lodge. Again
It’s not rocket sceince.

I think your forgetting Ryan Hinchcliffe, won player of the year at the Storm on one occasion and was handy enough to let Smith play at five-eight when need be.
And the next Immortals are...
You call it discrimination I call it backlash. Wouldn’t be surprised if some have gone too far but you need to consider some of the things Erdogan has said recently in relation to Germany and Europe itself.
Unhappy Ozil quits international football
You’ve got no leg to stand on with you carrying on like this. Sure Nat has let emotion exceed logic in the past in the heat of the moment (you’ll struggle finding a regular roarer here who hasn’t) but you can tell by reading his posts his opinions are well thought out and regularly contributes to the discussion sticking to the topic of the article. You could take a leaf out of his book mate.
Emcie, another great article. I don’t often get the time to add a comment nowadays but just wanted to let you know I really enjoy reading your stuff. This one really makes me want to fly up to Brissie just to watch an NRL game.
Keep up the good work.
Origin: A view from the top of Suncorp Stadium
Not a talking point but the Roosters got lucky with their second try if you ask me. Got to feel for the Titans there and I’m happy to admit I would be livid if that was awarded against us, especially if it was a match-winner in a finals game.
Can’t believe the referee sent it upstairs as a try. Yes the bunker explained their decision and I’m not saying I know better but it just doesn’t sit well with me.

Don’t forget the pass from Marshall too.

Look I don’t disagree he wasn’t the most deserving but it doesn’t mean Slater lacks class for accepting the award.
Similar situation with Thurston and Lewis winning the CC in ‘15 and ‘16 respectively. It seems it’s more about trying to provide a feel good story more than anything nowadays.

Probably a good time to put the bong away mate.

Should we also send hate mail for the rubbish they’ve introduced to our game?
All Sydney clubs should thank the Melbourne Storm
Continues to falter? Pretty sure they towelled up the team that smashed your mob.

Because they’re not queenslanders. It seems nowadays people are more concerned about with equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity.
The Immortals: A concept drenched in wine
I’m pretty sure James was part of Freddy’s plans but Gould talked him into sticking with Klemmer.
I think he’ll take RCG’s spot and good luck to him. He’s consistently been one of the better props for a couple years now.
Rookies added to Fittler's NSW team for Game 2
Pretty sure he raised a knee early in the game and got away with it.

Doesn’t that just show NSW were good enough to take advantage of the forward passes they threw and QLD weren’t? ?

I think NSW played extremely well considering the number of debutants they fielded. Error count satisfyingly low. Thought we were done when Roberts rushed but surprisingly Queensland didn’t capitalise.
NSW would have done well to get to 22 points during the Gallen-Farah-Bird era and to see a team with so many new faces get it done first time out is awesome.

Exactly. The difference in line breaks only proves this.

1. Thurston played when NSW won in 2014
2. Simple indeed
NSW Blues team for Origin 1: Expert reaction
Maybe they should just bite the bullet play their reserve grade side. Didn’t they beat the current ladder leaders who were at full strength or something? I think I remember you mentioning it once or twice ?

I don’t think so simply because Slater kicked/knocked on then kicked the ball and you can’t tackle players who don’t have possession so there’s no obstruction there. Had kept the ball in his hands and ran through and scored then yes definitely.
Roosters win the set 6-0, the watershed Warriors and Wayne licks his wounds
I’m pretty sure I can remember a similar situation involving JT and it was ruled a knock on.

‘09 comes to mind. I think they were the first team to finish the season as minor premiers and get eliminated from the finals in straight sets.
