<p>Excellent point, probably should have done a Brad Thorn and said no. At any rate here's hoping he's ok.</p> -

<p>jesus, the way this is being reported you would think he was on deaths door. Andy Raymond looked like he was about to burst in to tears yesterday, despite saying positive things. </p>

<p>If this was some 2nd year player from Penrith no one would give a fuck. </p> -

<p>Don't bother searching for video of the incident, the tackle wasn't dangerous, Burgess just runs into a cluster of bodies with his head down and cricked his neck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Certainly not "sickening".</p> -

<p>... that he's fine. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I for one will not even be a little surprised if he fronts on Friday, and it's hailed as a "miraculous recovery from a potentially paralysing tackle"</p> -

<p>Realistically, how many more losses before McFadden walks the plank?<br><br>
I don't believe for a second the bullshit coming out of Warriors HQ last week that he is safe for the season.</p>
</div>

<p>I believe them when they say he's safe for the year. I don't think the Warriors want to add to their bad reputation of firing coaches mid-season. They probably know that it'll make it harder to attract future coaches(if the bad play doesn't do it already) if they keep doing it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't see the point of firing a coach mid-season anyway, because as we've seen the past, the interim coach comes in and does the same crap job as the fired coach, so it's better to just save it for the end of the season.</p> -
<p>Their first half against the Tigers is really the only bad half they've had so far. They've played 2 of the teams picked to finish top 4, and haven't disgraced themselves either game. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>They're just not very good, and what ever plan they have isn't making best use of resources. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But their main issues, as ever (through a number of coaches) is conditioning, and smarts. No one compounds errors like the Warriors. If they drop a ball, it's odds-on they'll then give away a penalty, and then probably a try. </p> -

<p>I always feel that whenever we make an error or a penalty is awarded against us, the other team will definitely score. It's like its ingrained in my psyche for the past 21 years....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What was disappointing yesterday is that we didn't capitalise often enough when we forced a Storm error or won a penalty.</p> -
<p>I think there was about 7 minutes to go , scores were level , Warriors were inside the 22 late in the count , i thought to myself , Storm would be setting up for the drop goal here no doubt , what will the Warriors do ? They didnt . </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I dont think they got that field position again for the rest of the game , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know there is hindsight with that , but its just the little things they dont quite do to seal a game </p> -
<p>Jonathan Wright should have scored twice. He isn't that bad of a centre but looks like a giraffe in mid-gallop when out on the wing. Kata should be on the wing if he is to remain in the side - also means he doesn't have to pass which is good because he doesn't.</p>

Wow! <br><br>
Tonight's cowboys vs Broncos game was something special. It had everything. If there is another game as good this season then I wouldn't want to miss it<br><br>
Broncos win it by 1 with the golden point after the Cowboys go oh so close to scoring the match winning try in extra time, not once but twice -

<p>Awesome game! Loved when it went to extra time and all cameras were on Benny Hunt. The guy really didn't want the ball from the kick off.... :sarcastic:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thankfully JT knocked it on and didn't score because it should have been a knock on (from Cowboys winger Felt) prior to that. Don't like the idea that you can tap the ball back onto your body and it doesn't count as a knock on. </p> -
<p>How quick is james roberts?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>got to be careful believing everything you read but heard through the media last year he had the quickest sprint times in nrl, afl and australian super rugby</p>
