Oh sure Marki, a three game series matters to a career NRL coach with the best record in the game.

Will you just take a deep breath and read what you're saying - forwards don't matter? Why don't you ask Cronk, Smith and Slater and while you're at it Thurston, Lamb Mortimer and anyone else you think win games on their own if they think forwards matter.

None of them, not one single one of them, can do anything but beat time without metres, and I don't know who you think gives them that - The Metre Fairy?

The shoulder charge rule was brought in because doctors were seeing injuries from shoulder charges and told The NRL someone would get killed and then promptly someone did get killed in QLD and don't forget Frawley was put out for a season by one.

So put the macho away, it can kill and has killed and so had to be banned, absolutely MUST have been banned. It's not like the 70's where you had some soft fat f*** lumbering one on from 5m, in the modern game you have fit hard b.stards putting one on from 10m on the fly.

But having said all that, it was not designed to combat the likes of the Slater tackle, which on first viewing I didn't think was a shoulder charge at all and I'm still not convinced it was anything more than a collision of circumstance.

Shoulder charges have intent, Slater's did not.

There's no joy in my heart,
Only sorrow
And I'm sad
As a man can be

The worst thing about the coming week will be the garbage newspapers saying "let's all get behind the Sydney  team"

You watch that fwit germ Weidler this week...

I dont disagree with what you're saying. 
But I stand by what I said. Its banning has affected the game. I personally feel it is for the worse. Many people I have spoken to, agree with me. 

If you ask most doctors, they will tell you clapping your hands kills cells too. So lets just ban clapping while we are it. 

Don't do it Steve.
Just quietly get behind the Storm.
You'll feel much better.

Well that is a certainty....the player to rise to the greatest heights after leaving the Dogs had about a 1 out of 10 game tonight....Did Des make an honorary guest appearance at Souths training?

I have watched the replay and it unfortunately didn't have a front on shot, but slater did hit with force and did use the upper part of the arm to hit Feki. At no time did he attempt to tackle the player with the hands or forearms which constitutes a bona fide shoulder charge. I believe if they let slater off, it will undo all their efforts to eliminate this type of play and make a mockery of their own rules. Having said that, after watching the chooks/rabbits game tonight, even without slater, the storm will be hard to stop. I doubt the return of mitchell will lift the chooks performance enough to roll them.

I'm not sure how the Thanksgiving get together is gonna go this year at mom and dad's.

It's amazing what a lit bit of HGH can do.

latrell mitchel  & dylan napa  should be free 2 play the storm with there suspensions boy these 2 alone should lift the roosters as i still say latrell mitchel is the best 
centre in the modern game on form BUT  pending if cooper cronk shoulder will allow him 2 play & if jake friend is going 2 on that uguly tackle he did 

I watched that cold the other day, without knowing anything about it except someone on Twitter posted it with the word "Wow!"

The effect when you don't see it coming is.... wow!

Was sort of like how I first seen Alien. Sure everybody knows about it now and even if you were to watch it for the first time over the last couple of decades you'd know something about it.

But imagine what it was like if you go the cinema in.... 1979 or whatever it was to see another movie but miss the session and so just pick another random movie to watch and the one you pick you know absolutely nothing about except the name which you've just seen on the poster for the very first time...

and that movie is Alien.

Wow!

... though to 15 year old me it was more like "F*** me dead!"

Good luck to the Reggies team today..... bring home that trophy

Is Dogs vs Jets televised anywhere on free to air, or is it just on fuxtel?

It is on 9  ODF.  Game starts at 3.10.

Thanks Nancy, I'll be sure to wrestle the idiot box off the grandkids.

Got me thinking...have we had an Australian equivalent?

Christine and Frances Abbott with the Gay Marriage thing...nah not as daming.

Malcolm Turnbull's son in law dissing the Liberal over the Labor guy?

Peter Costello's bro critisizing up his Govt's welfare policies?

Can't think of any others. But that one takes the cake...utter take down by ALL your siblings....wow just wow alright.

What a terrible year for Dogs fans. From the start with the death of club legend Steve Folkes through to last night with the rorting no caps making the GF. Go Melbourne is all I can say!!!

The way I see it is Slater is running across field and Feki shoulder charges him. 
Not worth charging Feki so let's just leave it at that.

Havent see Alien. 
Is it worth watching Zef?

Can't get the game in Qld so can people post scores pls.

Really don't think there's much doubt who the Rorters hater is in that Roosters suit. 

Steve do you have an alibi? :)

Alien is genre defining, all of the genre since and indeed all before are measured against it. And pioneering even outside the genre, many... pleeeeeeenty.... of established "norms" of modern films are traced back to Alien. There was no so such thing as a female movie hero before Alien being just one and perhaps the most obvious example, though by no means the only.

You'd hate it.

Cmon boys... In it!!!..

Lololol..
