A performance worthy of the best side in rugby league

[Ron Burgundy]

Short memories some people. The 2023 team was smashed by injuries in the finals but still got to within about 90 seconds of a prelim with a backline in the final against the storm which included Pauga, Momorovski, Allen & Paulo. It obviously takes a very good coach to do that.

I’ve been told I never post here after a win … so here you go mightyrooster … don’t accuse me of that again

Best performance in 5 years … a performance worthy of the most stacked side in rugby league

Walker utterly sublime today … you will never see a better performance from a number 7 ever in your life … yet I believe some genius dropped him last year?

All the other blokes who always cop stick here … Crichton … Cheese … Keary … Suaalii … and so on and so forth … they are all quality footballers

This is the best squad in league … once again … but this time with feeling … yet we’re still 4-4

We need to win the comp this year or at least come awfully close … that is how good this lineup is … no more excuses … if Robbo beats the Broncs in Brisbane next week Nick can resign him until 2029 for all I care … if not he is going back on the rack again

He was dropped because he was out of form. Les Girls.

You don’t drop your best players lemon … everyone was out of form

Lol

Whoever upvoted Walker being dropped here last year please put your hand up

You all deserve a good slap upside the head

..........you make an interesting point about Penrith but that doesnt hold true with Melbourne in fact it is the exact opposite there..........

I disagree. Melbourne is an interesting case. Players are essentially isolated and unrecognised which promotes a solid bonding among them. They would spend a lot of time together which shows in the way that they clearly play for each other.

In WW1 Australian divisions really did become an effective fighting force and historians speculate that because they received no home leave, in their isolation a tight communal bond formed among them which was quite different to the norm. I see a similar situation with Melbourne's Esprit de Corps.

Ah okay … so on one hand Penrith are great because of their natural local affinity … but Melbourne are great because despite no natural local affinity their isolation bonds them?

Right

Exactly. Two different aspects of bonding. You catch on fast Les.

You are certainly the one that needs a slap upside the head. I predict a banning for you in the near future. Long live the coach.

Why of course! two different diametrically opposed states have lead to the exact same outcome … but God forbid you fall somewhere in between hey?

Coaching is so passé

Please tell more about your psychosomatic theories … what sort of bonding do they naturally have in Townsville? Canberra? Newcastle? how about us? how is the bonding in Bondi?

Canberra? How about anti big smoke / Sydney? How about the NRL / media only cares about the big clubs? Rules, TV coverage is for the benefit of the Sydney clubs (and Brisbane). We’re not all politicians and our city is not boring. We’ll show them that we’re made tough here in the nations capital and don’t need all the flash things those know it all Sydney siders take for granted. Enough of an explanation for you? I’m not a Faiders fan but I’ve lived here for 40 years now. I know what it is to be a Canberran. It’s very easy for Canberrans to bond against Sydney which is perceived to get all the favours and which looks down on Canberrans and our great city.

Forty years in the capital? I’m guessing you must have a soft spot somewhere for the team in green

But yes you reiterate my point … every team has their own set of circumstances that could be seen as advantageous when they are doing well or disadvantageous when they are not … no need to look for complicated solutions to simple problems

I predict jail time for you

Beyond that … I don’t fraternise with perverts … refrain from commenting on my posts

You bring absolute zero to this website … a proper parasite

Pervert? How so?

You are a troll character with one agenda

Tent works on bonding and pride in the colours but in the end they're a dispirit lot. Takes a lot of work. We saw it in his "Living Thing" term regarding the D in the glory days.

Canberra, Newcastle and Townville are Rugby League towns . Melbourne is not.

These are just my opinions. You agree or disagree. You might be a bit quick on the trigger because, otherwise, you have interesting things to say. You need to woo your detractors.

No soft spot for the green machine from me that’s for sure.

You don’t like the viking clap? not literally of course lol … but that always inspires … even when they get crushed afterwards
