I think you're right. The outcome may not be immediately obvious.  However some balance needs to be in place for the current game.  This is why I suggested the offending player be replaced not to return until the injured player returns.

Sitting here quietly thinking through my pocket and wondering how much raiders 1-12 cost the 13 +ers...

The concern is is a coach keeping a ‘regular player’ off the field even if able to return after what is deemed to be foul play attributed to a ‘gun’...
And you know plenty if not most would in that scenario...

Congrats Marki

Scumgraph reporting that T Baz will NOT be re-signing Tol’s

Terrorcrap says that... Nekk minute... 3 year deal...
I guess they could be a chance of getting one thing right this year though...
Even the sun shines on a dogs ass some days...

He is a player we need but a player who needs to be used correctly. They don't always meet. 

The haters are generally ‘all show’ type of people that have little concept of dirty work and 1%ers... in most aspects of life I’m sure...

You know... the flashy types that use phrases like ‘he’s got swagger’ and think a team of backs from 1-17 = a premiership...

The advantage with the non offending team.  Better than the current system where the offending team is advantaged

Fair call... 

Time to move on... 

Well thank you. We have turned a corner.

For every try Tolman saved he cost us 1-2.
People dont see that but to the expert eye it is glaringly obvious. 

Says the Hawks and Rorters #1 fan

Let's see if the Roosters snap up this ever valuable player in Tolman. 
Let's see if Nick organizes and brown paper bags for him....

11th Commandment...thou shalt not speak fondly of the latte swillers ever if in jest. 

Saw the poet Rupert McCall on Saturday at sunshine Coast Turf Club.  Not the first time I'd seen him but if you get the chance he's good value.
Reading his book while laid up in hospital for a few hours. Book's good but with poetry so much of the value is in the delivery.

The only thing you’re an expert on is inventing stuff that suits your narrative...

Canterbury finalize their 2021 coaching staff. David Furner assistant coach, Craig Sandercock assistant coach, David Tangata-Toa transition coach & Mick Potter head coach of Mounties.

Channel 9 up here pumping up Redcliffe's NRL bid again.  Can't see a 17th NRL team in the near future.  One extra team equals more costs and no extra TV revenue.  All while the NRL is losing money and cutting costs. An 11k ground touted as a selling point.  Lot of assets doesn't translate to working capital. I think the TV stations are hard up for a story sometimes.

Overall we may a more experienced coach, backed by expericed assistants.
Some good coaches are probably happy to be assistants.

Need to add teams 2 at a time, so there is an extra game.
IMO A long term plan is expansion to 22 teams, 21 rounds of 11 games = 231 matches.
24 rounds with 8 games = 192 matches...

With 11 games 3 additional games, can be Sunday afternoon, more choice and content for broadcasters.
Each team plays every other team once alternating home and away.

Of course they can't add 6 teams in 1 hit.

Expansion needs a long term plan.

Craig Sandercock has a lot of experience as an assistant coach. He's worked with Cronulla, Manly, Newcastle & west tigers, also as a head coach in ESL.

David Tangata-Toa, much younger guy. It said he's the "transition" coach, so maybe that's a fancy way of saying lower grades, because that's where his experience has been so far, both as a player & with coaching. He spent a lot of time in the UK playing & coaching too, but he's only 39, not expecting him to make his presence felt like Bennett or Bellamy, so most likely helping Mick Potter with that kind of work for now.

The problem is players.  Not so long ago the NRL reported an increase in participation. Unfortunately when broken down it was mainly on the back of increased female participation.  They conceded at the time that the area that went backwards was 13 to 18yo boys. This is not good for the game going forward and is why they are focusing on the Pacific Islands.  It is pretty obvious that we struggle to fill 16 teams.
The concentration on the Pacific Islands is purely to get players for the NRL on the back of what union did and nothing to do with expanding the game.  There are twice as many people in WA as Fiji, Tonga and Samoa put together.

Aston Villa playing their 1st EPL of the season right now..... are a man up after SU player got sent off at the 14th minute mark.

Awful way to start my daily social media experience with a half dozen posts about soccer....
