Yeah we seem worse than most. It really frustrates me when we give away our challenge early in the game. Once it's gone, the ref then has no fear of having a decision against your team overturned. I probably wouldn't use it before the 60th or 70th minute unless it's 100% blatantly obvious.
It was interesting to hear Aaron Woods really praising Wade Graham on Triple M a few weeks back... he said it's like having a coach or an extra player with Wade out on the field given how well he reads the play in both attack and defence. It was more than the stock standard compliments they give...
They are going/have gone well in all the junior grades this season though - Flegg, SG Ball, Harold Matthews. Morris might be the perfect choice to bring them through

Sharks vs Bulldogs, Jun-21-2020 at Bankwest Stadium. This was the first "home" game for the Sharks in 2020, with only a small group of members allowed to attend, following the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic. Most of the "crowd" are cardboard cutouts.
It’s disappointing. I imagine the business case for a NRLW team would have been partly based on getting a Centre of Excellence and stadium upgrades (such as dressing rooms) too.
Maybe it shows that lobbying doesn’t work as well these days when politicians are scared of being caught in pork...
Yeah I don't believe in just picking players for novelty, but it's more just that the timing works for Miller vs the Titans. If Trindall wasn't the incumbent, and you compared the two for the bench this week, I reckon Miller would be the choice. And the season is long and grinding, and if you...
It’s great all the work being done in Coffs Harbour (and Gold Coast and Brisbane), I hope they can organise a members event here in Cronulla before end of the season too though.
On a side note, it's time to bring back running on the field after the game. Bulldogs did it at Belmore a few weeks...
Yeah I think Trindall would be the only option. I wouldn't see it as dropping him, more just rotating... he must need some proper game time too. Possibly Ronaldo or someone else could use a match off to recover from injuries.
