The future of the game is in trouble when someone like Peter Sterling is trying to lessen his involvement.

Is it too early to start the 'Cam Smith to the Bulldogs for 2022' rumor?

Because we all need more blowouts obviously.
So more games end up at 46-44 in the 79th minute, where the leading team drill the ball into the corner only to concede a 7 tackle set - which becomes an 11 tackle set with a 6 again ruling on the "4th tackle" (technically 5th tackle), only for the trailing team to hit a 2 point field goal (behind a wall of 7 players).
We got to golden point extra time where we can put some guys on report for some lazy fatigue-driven reactive tackles (where they are suspended for 6 weeks on the back of 200% loading for previous magic round indiscretions).

I hope the first game doesn't go over time, looping Walsh/Latrell so not a lot of wiggle room timewise. In saying that, whichever one I don't take will score better. Thinking +/- 40 for Walsh first up

Judging by the conversation the other day, it's only a paddling pool

Judging by the litany of misfortunes that seem to befall poor Rabbits, I don't think a pool is the best idea. He'd probably stand on a rake, knock himself out, fall in and end up Brian Jonesing it

This particular rule - so a 40/20 you get 6 again but a 40/21 and you get punished with an extra tackle to the opposition.
The whole idea feels a bit American football - will just end up with “punts” down to the guts to the FB
Can’t wait for the fair catch rule with 7 tackles to follow.

Another potential rule change. Seems pretty stupid at first glance. How fast do they want the game to be?
But delayed so apologies if it’s been mentioned but found the Christian Welch response very accurate and then a giggle from mulitalo and welchs exchange on Twitter

- Spoiler:
- Well it’s that time of the week again Game Day! It’s not just any old game day either it’s one we circle on the calendar when the draw comes out against our biggest most hated arch rival and enemy the Roosters. It doesn’t get much bigger the most bitter rivalry in the game going back to 1908. We all know hate is not a word we use lightly but the word hatred just rolls off our tongues when we are talking about the Roosters we just can’t stand them and the rivalry and hatred is as strong as ever. So tonight will be yet again another chapter in the book of feuds. This is a game where we leave nothing in the tank players and members and fans.
Looking at the Roosters they have had so so many injuries all year yet they still sit 4th. They have been playing pretty well considering how many they’ve had out and for that they deserve to be shown some respect. They still have dangerous players there Teddy is really now in brilliant form, Manu and Tupou offer plenty of stroke out wide, there is young Sam Walker turning it on in the halves and they still have SST, Liu, Tupouinua, Verrills in the pack along with some young forwards playing well so we can’t take them lightly.
For us it’s about building and fine tuning our game with only two rounds left. It’s about getting our attack on, limiting our errors and having improved discipline than last week is needed first and foremost though. I say it every week but the most important thing for us is our defence and continuing to work hard on it as come finals you win big games off the back of your defence. So I don’t want to see any soft tries conceded tonight. Cody and Trell were a bit quiet last week so let’s hope they turn it on tonight.
To our QLD members and fans going to Suncorp tonight shout, scream and chant your lungs out for all us NSW Rabbitohs Members who have to watch from home. We will also be cheering and chanting loudly from at home and clapping our hands red raw.
Tonight we should put the cleaners through these Bondi Wanka’s, lets demoralise them and finish off their hopes of finishing 4th for we would take great delight in doing so.
SO RABBITOHS MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS EVERYONE ON YOUR FEET AT 8:05PM, CLAP YOUR HANDS SHOW THE COLURS STAMP YOUR FEET AND SCREAM YOUR LUNGS OUT FOR YYOOUURRRRR SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS!!!
LETS ALL ENJOY SOME SCRUMPTIOUS FRIED CHICKEN TONIGHT WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS GLORY GLORY!

Huge. Against United will be interesting. It’s a shame ronaldo scores so many goals. He is very unlikable.

Yep the oil money coming in handy yet again.
I got on Ronaldo to go to Man City when the talks started kicking off last night @$2.63 so it would be ideal if he goes for me hahaha.
He's now at $1.20
