Dolphins vs South Sydney Rabbitohs: NRL live scores, blog

True for everyone, GB. To keep referring to past disappointment with results tends to make us bitter. Personally, I'd prefer to look towards good times ahead instead of looking backwards.

I thought you went for the Storm. Pity you were lost to the cardinal and myrtle since you were nurtured in the burrow. Are you sure about the foundation date of your school? Cleveland Street Boys High school established in circa 1856 became a coeducational school and moved from Cleveland Street Surrey Hills to Alexandria Park in 1983.

So if you went to school in a South Sydney juniors area, which team do you support?

AB, Clevo moved to Alexandria Park in 1983, my last year, year 12. I was a school prefect. What year did you start going there? My final year was at the new site.

Did you go to Cleveland Street Boys High School AB?

I was hoping that would be the case. Never fear, I'm back on the Dolphins bus next week. :thumbup:

I’m Dolphins first Broncs 2nd.

sozz mate... :unhappy: :crying:

:silly: On a cold and bleary Thursday where I had to wait until 9 before could imbibe.... yep, 4 too many, sorry champ, had to move quick. :unhappy:

"Banter isn’t always appreciated in this day and age of political correctness, cloistered safe spaces and rampant cancel culture." Hmm. Those things don't have a day or age, they're constants; always have been, always will be. Speech has been contested ever since it existed. Don't take my word for it, read some Jean-Jacques Rousseau or Soren Kierkegaard. John Howard and Tony Abbott would've read them when they studied, but they either forgot what they were talking about, or just decided to make it all about themselves. At a certain point in life, everybody becomes less confident expressing themselves. Be safe in the knowledge that unless you're raving mad on a street corner, absolutely nobody cares.

That is true for professional footballers not for for NRL fans post-game who have to deal with the reality of having 4 competition points stolen from them and awarded to two of the NRL Triumvirate teams. . For the record, I never complained about the Bunnies loss to the Storm due to howlers by the referee or bunker. . Souths were weak on middle forwards, had a soft defensive underbelly as a result, which the Storm exploited to great effect despite only an 8 point difference that flattered Souths.

You have seen my comments on this forum. I am no different in real life. It would be injurious to my health and my chances of longevity if I ever attended a Rabbitohs or Origin game at Suncorp stadium. . Banter isn’t always appreciated in this day and age of political correctness, cloistered safe spaces and rampant cancel culture. . I might be “cancelled” and vanish from existence entirely. . I have been to the Caxton Hotel though. But incognito.

Are the Dolphins your 1st team or your 2nd after the Broncos? Who do you cheer for when they play each other? . I will only ever cheer against the Dolphins when they play against the cardinal and myrtle.

We've all had decisions go against us, GB & they hurt. Dwelling on them, while playing, only helps your opponents.

You should care when the integrity of the game is trampled over to favour 3 teams above the other 14 clubs because it benefits the NRL and broadcasters balancesheet and plans to market the game. You should care because next year the Dolphins or Broncos might get a similar draw to the Rabbitohs 10 round draw of death! If calls are routinely made to deny the other 14 clubs of tries because of a blatant breach of the rules then two clubs shouldn't be gifted 2 competition points off the back of that. Last year the NRL wanted to see at least one QLD team make the finals and gifted the Cowboys both a soft draw and robbed the Tigers of 2 competition points and broke the rules of the game to do it. It guaranteed the Cowboys a top 4 finish.

It's the way I hoped I played & what I always tried to instill into those I coached. Dropping heads when something goes against you is just counter productive.
