Tried the Lambton Park, but they only had it on a small screen and very close to a live band. As so often happens in pubs in pubs and clubs these days, there were three big screens on the rugby...

Thanks, I might give the Lambton Parka try.

There has been a bit of advertising on sbs but not seen much else.

Does any one know of a good pub/club to see the game tonight? I gather it's on Fox and not free to air.

My sentiments exactly, it would be fair if the MRP gave him the same time out of the game as Birra. If he got the same time out as Neil Young, he'd be banned for life. I don't think the MRP will be...

I entirely agree, and hope that the MRP deal with him, but it might be that they aren't allowed to consider previous form and only consider and act on this particular incident. What Smeltz is doing...

Yes, people are telling me that he is becoming serial at this, how many injuries have to happen before some action is taken?

The match review panel should punish Smeltz. This at least the second time he has seriously injured a 'keeper. He is a danger on the field.

Well done, and very amusing, and very close the way many fans feel.

Thanks for pointing this out Dunster. I see merit in Thomas477's argument as well though.

From memory, Brockie was doing very well last season, but as pointed out above, he was being benched or omitted, hardly a good move by the manager to 'rest' a consistant goal scorer. I think...

As you so correctly pointed out, Bridges was a major reason we did have so much of the game. The 'sitter' he missed wasn't excactly a sitter, he still had some work to do under pressure, it it didn't...

Agreed mtbw, particularly with Bridges, he should have had heaps more game time, and starting game time at that. I saw an interview with Van God somewhere in the last 18 months or so where he said...

As we've been so creative for the opposition, losing the ball when playing it out from the back! Great tactician our Van God, pity Sydney couldn't lure him.

And we'll be less creative

I didn't know that, but I don't think it will impede his ability as a footballer lol

We need to improve says our illustrious manager.

When is Van God, EGG HEAD, GVE or whatever you care to call him ever going to realise or call for his own improvement? Its always down to someone...

I agree Bridges did play fine too. He is always looking to move forward, always trying to create an opening or at least creative in the sense of going forward.
.
His passing was as good, if not...

Jobe, you've served Newy so well. The goal above was a screamer. The work rate you have demonstrated over the years is second to none. Well done and good luck.

Well said. But I must agree with others that as a manager, he would have to serve an 'apprenticeship' and see how he goes.. skillful players don't necessarily make skillful/good managers.

I don't want to get into a slanging match, but in answer to making opportunities, in his cameo appearances this season at home, two deft moves that I do recall was a pass from 10 yards in the...

lol that one went across the bow, and I take warning and duck my head!! lol. I don't keep such detailed statistics. How did the other 13 go against Brisbane? And how did Taggart go against Wellington...

The way I saw it, and correct me if I'm wrong, they were preparing a sub before Regan was injured (cramp apparently?). If the fourth official was showing a player on his sign that Van God had not...

Pace?? not the best, but his skills make up for it

Good Pass Completion Ratio?? don't know a number for that, but he doesn't send many astray

Workrate?? Good

Good Forward runs?? yes
...

You should include Bridges in the list of those that can pass in front of a player. Its a basic skill and Bridges has heaps more skill than most and will make a big difference if only given a start...

I hadn't seen the twitter rant, but had heard he had something to say. If it was a dummy spit, I can't say blame him.
