3-2-1 v Eels

3- Mannering. Superb. Enormous work rate tonight, even by his lofty standards.

2- Johnson. Some big plays, but most impressed with the tough stuff that he did. Made quite a few crucial tackles and didn't miss many. Still a way to go, but he may have turned the corMannering. Superb.

1- Lillyman. Just pipping Matulino, who could have easily got this point.

Hon mentions to Thompson for the match winner. Lousi and Vete really stepped up too. Lolohea with another try saver.

Great win

Emblem

Not the most important topic, but I am curious to know what fellow St George supporters think of our emblem/badge. I think it is a bit dated(80's) My preference would be more of a St George slaying the dragon(traditional)like on the Russian coat of arms maybe.

Rd.10 vs New Zealand Warriors 3,2,1

Don't know about you merkins but I was happy with that second half. Semi missed a couple of chances but we actually dug deep and took the Warriors into golden point. Goal kicking hurt us as well.

Former Dolphins kicker Garo Yepremian dies at 70

Garo Yepremian, the former NFL kicker who helped the Miami Dolphins win consecutive NFL championships has died of cancer. He was 70 years of age.

His 37-yard field goal in the second overtime ended the longest game in NFL history, a Dolphins' playoff victory over Kansas City on Christmas 1971, and he helped Miami win back-to-back NFL titles in 1972-73. But Yepremian's gaffe in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl in January 1973 nearly spoiled the Dolphins' bid to complete a perfect season.

With Miami leading 14-0 and on the verge of finishing the season 17-0, the Washington Redskins blocked Yepremian's field-goal attempt. He picked up the ball and tried to throw it but fumbled, and the Redskins' Mike Bass ran it 49 yards for a touchdown.

Todd Carney

We desperately need quality halves. Norman just does not have it. Yes Carney is a total goose, but he is a quality play maker. Imagine Carney and Foran as our halves? Creativity, good defence. Norman to fullback. He played well there for the Broncos. It'd take the playmaker pressure off him and let him run what he sees in front of him, chiming into the attack, using his running game more.
The above would improve our game no end.

Bring on the negative baggers.

vs Eel's

Bit worried about essentially 3 away games in a row for our top players.
Manu also out.
Eels down and players need to prove something.
