refs aside where do we go from here?

[bondi-boy]

Not hard for them to win at 'fortress Brookie'...look what happened in the Wests Tigers game recently.

[Ray Stehr]

All this talk about us not showing our hand is getting really annoying. The team is a lame comparison of the side from last year and if their not careful from now they'll miss the 8. They MUST beat the Dragons on Saturday and in fact they must win all games from here on, as it stands I can't see them winning their last 3 games.

We just need to keep the passion up IMO...

Against the Knights I was pissed at the refs because I thought we showed passion/polish and tey gave us NOTHING.

On the Phil Gould show, Gus heavily criticised our halves and said they're both out of form. Had Maloney's two tries been awarded he would have been on fire! The first was a pretty darn amazing try that showed a lot of character.

IMO we need to get angry after the last game and show the dragons that little bet extra and we'll win easily.

Because league journo's like Rothwit & others troll this site to spice-up their columns I won't divulge his name or too much detail because negotiations continue. Suffice to say that IF our club & the player in question can agree to terms many of us will be saluting/creaming

This player WILL add mongrel & stiffen up our D.
This player is NOT off contract at years end.

Gman. This is a case for .... the Members Gold Section. Wake up everybody!!!

Um…can we be sure that there are no spies in there?

Chook,
I'm not in charge of Chookpen Security, but this is the reason it was created, wasn't it?

If maloney didn't ease off in the chase for that try or dove, it would of been no problem, and no video ref. That in itself showed no urgency. If he is carrying an injury that prevented him diving for the ball, tthen he shouldn't be on the field. We can't afford to carry a half if he is injured.

Who ever thinks we are not showing our hand is delusional, do people think that we are training differently to how we are playing, and that all of a sudden our defence will be rock solid again just in time for the finals?

Yeah after 2002 that will never happen again.

[Tommy Smith]

I think some people just have some misguided belief that we're gonna go on a repeat of our 2002 run.

It's very fanciful.

The first 20 minutes against the Sharks was stunning attacking rugby league. At that point I thought YES! Finally here we come. And then.... .... .... ... 60 minutes later I feel as though our season was ended that night.

But for the love of all that's RWB please prove me wrong boys.

Yep, for sure.

But I do know that when Backwards, Chris and myself were discussing who would be eligible for the Gold Membership there was a lot of uncertainty about identities & multiples.
It's been proven that just because someone has been a member for x number of years doesn't mean they are "safe".
Sleeper accounts have been set up in the past just for this reason.

I just don't think that it is 100% safe.

Then there is the issue of members not being able to keep quiet, what they have been told in confidence.

I'm happy knowing that we have another LOD in the pipeline. Love that hardarse (no homo) to bits.
Another loose cannon eyeballing the opposition is what we are lacking this year.

Rules that bludger out.

Correct R6, it's not "third man in".
The "poachee" is not an interstate player.

As long as it isn't "what now" Watmough. Too old and too expensive.

Trent Merrin would be a great signing but he isn't really LOD Mk2

Just have to wait and see I guess......

Yep hopefully manly get kicked out for being over the cap too.

[QUOTE=Rooster_6;383842]Shame then that your 'truth' so often turns out to be wrong, must lead to an awfully frustrating life.

Yeah I have an awfully frustrating life Rooster_6. That's why I have spent years and years and years and days and days and nights and nights and nights here on The Chookpen with all of my 159 posts.

You, conversely, clearly have a very happy life apart from your 8,000 posts here on the Pen, spent mostly attacking people personally and generally being a micro-managing, megalomaniacal dickhead who can't handle an opinion contrary to your own.

As for my "many" posts on this place and over the years on the old Wall, I often try to point out when I write a post that I am posting a rumour, speculation on my part, or opinion. Or often blind optimism, or extreme pessimism.

It's people like you who turn people off sites like this... mate.
