It’s amusing reading the aftermath

[Johnny Brass]

It’s not the 6 again awarded against us that hurt us, it was the ones we didn’t get. The refs were so inconsistent in adjudicating them it wasn’t funny .

No surprise that it was a Sutton as touchie that didn't say anything when jmoz got hit high near the death or Klein ignored it.

I had no problem with the new rules when we were using them to tear sides to pieces earlier in the season and I won't use them as an excuse now.

The sad reality is we folded like a cheap suit when it mattered.

When we were getting our fair share we were unstoppable. Hell even periods of the games towards the end if the season where neither side were awarded any, we would get back on top.

The six agains are just a new set of penalties that don't let the defensive line get set, when you get some it's great, when you don't it's murder.

Personally, not a fan of the 6 again rule and never was. It is very inconsistent and escapes scrutiny because of the continuity. The refs seem to pull them out of their backside very randomly. To me it is a great device for managing outcomes but not necessarily for the betterment of the game.

Can't he play a few games for the women just to get some experience? Then I'd watch.

I thought you would like the nrlw 13 - there are at least 2 female hookers in each game? If Canberra played there would most likely be quiet a few strippers as well.

Blue Suede Schubert, how dare you make that allegation - that game outcomes are managed by the refs.
Lucky you aren't a first grade coach - automatic $10,000 fine for that one.

Sam Walker can kick goals. And has a running game

How can you not get excited watching that?

Well it was pretty impressive from the clip all one game - he has a running game, a passing game - long and short - a sideline conversion - a kicking game - long and short, backs up well - is quick , made a great tackle , didn’t see any missed - but it was highlight not lowlights. Was is the fact that there were absolutely no intercepts taken by the young kid in the whole clip that disappointed you ?

I like my hookers not too butch.

He looks good but i will get excited when he can do that stuff against men and not boys . Still convinced Kyle has a lot to offer as yet . Many a half started slow and finished on top and visa versa

[King Salvo]

We need to speed up Walker’s development. Our halves were average late in the season. They couldn’t get us over the line in all the close games. We also need to go to the market for a quality front rower. Our stocks are quite low.

I think it was the case that some of the players were mentally and physically spent- If Robbo had his time over again i think he would have rested more players in that last game verses vermin as they had secured a tip 4 spot-Storm rested a stack as did Canberra in their last games. The last game did a lot of damage not just on the scoreboard .

Flanno copping if left right and centre which is very unfair as he was stepping into some very big shoes and somehow is now copping the blame for the Chooks being eliminated from the finals even - 29 NRL games only with 20 of these this season.

All the talk of Walker being the one is very dangerous as throughout history there has been many touted as the next big thing which didn't eventuate - Roosters have had quite a few - Joey Williams/Jamie Soward/ Sean O'Sullivan for instance - Dennis Beecraft the white knight even

Soward is a premiership winner and a local junior

I thought he was a Canberra junior.

We will never ever have a better touch finding second rower at our club. He should be immortalised.
