If they didnt deregister dugan for breaking his contract with the raiders they wont deregister paulo for playing park rugby.

Its a nothing offence really. If the eels want to sack him we will take him straight away but i think they would rather keep him than help ricky.

The only punishment will be to the park rugby side

Oh what I'd give for this to fall over after a James Roberts style discrepancy is found in Peats's new contract.

Austin literally bleeds profusely out of his face from a high shot and the referees "missed the reportable offence"

Now that I've had some hours to stew that disaster over it's pretty clear that despite having a better side we are the same old failures we were under Furner.

Every spine player feels they have to go for a miracle play because they don't play as a team. The defence is poor down the middle, attack in the opposition 20 is predictable. These are the problems that existed when Stuart got here and nothing has changed. Except he can sign decent players to rot in the Canberra funk. We are the browns of the nrl

Chin up. Now you've got a decent squad together all you need is a good coach and everything will fall into place.

Im happy for stuart to remain part of the setup. Like a director of football (like gus at penrith) the guy does have value. He attracts tpas seemingly, he is connected with the media, he can sign players

But yeah i do feel we need a new coach. Someone completely disconnected with the club. Not an old boy (although I would take bellamy obviously) but a fresh face.

The Hull winger just scored one of those, body entirely out of the field, still gets the ball down tries. The ref sends it upstairs of course. Stevo: "Whys he done that!?" lol.

Was at the game, Warriors just as frustrating in person as on tv. You know the wind is strong, why the gently caress are your kickoffs going anywhere near the dead ball line? Also everytime the crowd got going behind the Warriors we immediately lost the ball or conceded a penalty :negative:

Sure he is, and also he was 100% correct tonight. Refs swallow their whistles in field goal situations.

a) will we ever see it happen?

b) it's petulant and sad to use your post game interview to whine about the refs, no matter how right you are. You can voice a concern without whining about it like a five year old. He has done it this way his whole career, so I doubt he'll grow up at any point.

C) yes, they do.
