I'm finding a lot of the cardboard cutouts have a higher IQ and more personality than opposition fans.. 

Vlan the Impaler has done it again...

Small crowds allowed back to grounds next week...

Gotta love the NV'L...

Yep that is last roll of the dice, but teams will adapt.,.. all teams that got flogged fully deserved it...

I want to be sure we stick with these new rules, best change they have made in years..

Kick off changes is probably sensible, but even then the tired team might drop the ball

An even contest isn't always a good game.. fans pay to see action..

Only good change they've made since taking the cornerpost out of play...

So if Warriors fold like a pack of cards is that the trend or business as usual???...

If they don’t fold is that trend bucking???... 

These and more questions on tonight’s episode of Villi - a blue and white plant...

The numbers are skewed because more than one player can get credited with the same tackle. A run is when the ball carrier goes into contact with the defender.  He may still offload.

$25K suspended fine... 
Now there’s a trend... 
#NV’L...

Only the same as other venues isn't it?

I still think the refs favour one team to another. Several times in that last game, Penriff were loitering in tackles that could have/should have been 6 again to the warriors but were ignored. Keeping one side back more than 10 mtrs defence and the opposition only 7. They may only be subtle differences but over 80 minutes with a lack of possession the flood gates do open to the team that has had the run of play (and calls).

Two games this week.  Winners 85 losers 0. Hopefully we can get some competitiveness.  Starting to get a bit boring.

If Bellamy has gotten Brenko Lee's defensive reads and positioning corrected he is indeed a master coach.

They were talking 200 at central coast, and 500 at bankwest... only small numbers but yesterday it was none... 

Based on form lines don’t expect that tonight...

Same old Brenko

Surely skeleton has to move Cam Murray back into the 13 jersey... Wasted on the edge... 

Telescum reporting that Dean Pay has made changes to the backline:-

Hoppa at 1
DWZ & Newsreader on the wings
Averillo & Smith centres

Crichton dropped


i guess Dman’s blue eyes mate will probably get Averillo’s bench spot unless he give Katoa a shot

Rope a dope first half...

WTF...... again I asked weeks ago, who the f@ck is on the recruitment committee at Belmore???

Reports coming out that the Dogs will release young gun Morgan Harper who’s signed a 2yr deal with fwit idiot Dessys Manly & are entertaining the idea of signing 34yo Bryce Goodwin.... reported in the Telescum just then

the kid never got a fekking chance.... yet hacks like Montoya/Holland are still around 

Not bad still have doubts about Smith in the centres . Very happy to try a new fullback.
.

BigT is writing for the Telecrap?

Harper has been at the club since he was 15.... he killed it in the 20’s and reggies.... yet never was given a chance in a side that can’t score fekking tries or points. Sure Harper ain’t no Joey Manu, but give him a fair go before allowing him to sign elsewhere ffs

Hoppa is ok and has some really good attributes as a fullback (great under bombs and ball skills) but I'd prefer to see Meaney given another shot which would allow us to move Smith to the wing. Smith and DWZ returning the ball on tackles 1 and 2 is out best combo in my opinion. Meaney is also confident under bombs and has some ball playing ability. With Smith on the wing it also gives us an attacking kick target for cross field bombs. 

Keen to see averillo given more game time. Hopefully he can handle the centre position.

I really hope this is a bullsh!t story, absolutely criminal if not and the development and retention crew need sacking.

Bellyache chatting up Damien Cool...
2021 hookers - Smith, Smith, Grant, Cook...

#playerbrokers....

Since CHN and are gone and we have a couple of young kids making up the 30, there is no need to release Harper.

If he is going it is some disagreement or a big opportunity elsewhere.

If Harper ends up at the Storm you wonder what the club is thinking, they are the club that needs backs.

Most probably tne story is crap.

Dane Gagai's Origin form makes him look like a $1m player. At club level he is bog average. I can't think of another player like him.

Now here is one of those games that the referee did a good job and kept the game flowing. I believe this is what they envisaged when they brought the 6 again rule in. The biggest difference tonight was that Souffs were their own worse enemy.

So Harper signs for Manly before the Covid outbreak... with fwit idiot Dessy under the impression that Suli was off to the Dragons.... now that Suli has stayed with Manly, surely Harper won’t want to be stuck playing reggies over there either

Melbourne equally their own worst enemy...

South's played about as well as they will... They miss the 8 for mine unless Camry stays at 13, loltrell (despite a better showing) goes to centre, and Johnson at fullback...
