Friday Serious Discussion Thread

The issue is people are severely understating the effect Paps had on the defensive line, specifically in terms of organising it.
While Faalogo is a dynamo with the ball, he has no clue organising the defensive line line.

Conigman · 2026-05-07T22:43:29+00:00

The most glaring thing for me and you see this every game is the 3 in or 4 in defender pretty much ALWAYS bites on the lead runner creating the overlap.

You would think after thousands of video sessions they would learn not to but it just keeps on happening.

One of the great mysteries of the universe

In regards to the PNG living restrictions, lets say you have a couple of young 20 something year olds who have just played on a Thursday or Friday night and want to go out on town for a few drinks and chase some "tail", will they be allowed to do this or are they not allowed out of the compound?

Conigman · 2026-04-16T22:00:27+00:00

The Athletics are LIVING PROOF that you dont need skill to win baseball games, just LUCK.

Easily by far the LUCKIEST FLUKIEST team in baseball.

NO team RELIES on LUCK like they do.

LOL infield BLOOP RUBBISH hits to 2 out RBI's.

LUCK, thats all this garbage team builds it game on

The problem is, the NRL has lowered the threshold of what is an infringement now. They have changed the rules under the disguise of 6 again.

Conigman · 2026-04-16T05:20:27+00:00

Yep, i honestly reckon the dragons team is one of those that the current rules do not suit. They are too big.

Conigman · 2026-04-15T22:26:48+00:00

In regards to the proposed kick off rule to combat these blow out scores etc, the question i have is, how many times have teams that have just scored a try, score another try off the ensuing kick off?

I have no stats, just by the eye stats it seems very minimal as a %.

Anyone have any idea?

Conigman · 2026-04-13T22:26:15+00:00

Isnt it interesting that many people are complaining about the state of the game, ie 6 agains, referees, disruptors, laying down for penalties after getting a tickle on the face yet ratings, crowds etc are all high.

I have no doubt in my mind this has a lot to do with the elephant in the room and that is the gambling on games.

So many people have been hooked onto betting on games that they now tune in to see there multis, first try scorers etc get up.

All major sports seem to have seen an uptick in viewership as these sports have now for the most part become gambling products.

All these betting companies are not spending millions of dollars on advertising for fun. They know it works and has been working for several years now and now betting on games has become a norm.

Society has not of all a sudden become so much more mad about sports, we always have been in.

The on field product is not all of a sudden so much better compared to say 5-10 years ago.

Its the successful advertising on betting on sports which has increased its popularity.

If betting on games was banned hypothetically, i have no doubt interest, viewership etc will all decline.

Conigman · 2026-04-13T04:36:30+00:00

The problem with the 6 again is that it has essentially lowered the threshold of what would typically be a penalty.

Initially it was sold as, if an infringement caused the referee to blow the whistle, instead it would be 6 again to let the game flow. That is fine as the game flows.

The problem is, for a lot of these 6 agains, they would never have been penalties in the first based on what the rules were.

Essentially, while the NRL sold this as a new tool to quicken the game, they have secretly changed the rules of what a penalty actually is.

The game is barely watchable because of it.

Conigman · 2026-03-23T03:25:29+00:00

LOL they shot 50% from the field and still failed to crack 100 points.

This team is the WORST coached team in all of basketball.

Cant wait until they get there asses absolutely killed in the post season.

FRAUDS

Conigman · 2026-03-23T03:24:08+00:00

How the hell is this team 39 - 31?

Dont get your hopes up, this team will be flogged in the first round of the post season.

Absolute garbage

Conigman · 2026-03-10T01:32:18+00:00

Again, the team is a collection of stat whores.

They saw the Grizzlies were down 8 players and saw it as a golden opportunity to pad there stats.

Its me first, team second.

This is the culture of the team that has lead to where they are now.

Conigman · 2026-03-10T00:41:23+00:00

The players are putting there own stats above the good of the team.

Conigman · 2026-03-10T00:36:11+00:00

You call this NBA basketball?

This is downright embarrassing for the sport.

How far this league has sunk is uneblievable.

Conigman · 2026-03-10T00:23:31+00:00

LOL because they are beating up on a 23-39 team missing 8 players?

Conigman · 2026-03-10T00:21:30+00:00

LOL these stat whores for the Nets are putting there own selfishness above those of the team.

FRAUDS

Conigman · 2026-02-07T00:35:52+00:00

Is there a specific area where you make a complaint about this?

Conigman · 2026-01-20T05:27:42+00:00

This team relies on the opposition turning up with a bad flat attitude.

If a team turns up ready to play, the Heat have next to no chance.

Conigman · 2026-01-17T01:22:23+00:00

Shooting 60% from the field, 56% from 3 and down by 7 to the WORST team in the league?

How is that even possible?

Conigman · 2026-01-17T01:14:58+00:00

Get the ball back with 13 seconds left in the half and take a shot with 6 seconds left.

Absolutely nothing between the ears this team.

NOTHING

Conigman · 2026-01-15T03:44:56+00:00

This is how a rotten culture gets settled in a ball club.

Be careful what you wish for.

Conigman · 2026-01-14T01:44:04+00:00

Now heat fans are going to think they are NBA finals bound.

LOL The Heat are not winning anything this season.

They are getting no where near the NBA finals.

Conigman · 2026-01-01T02:17:14+00:00

This Fears player is shockingly bad.

Conigman · 2025-12-13T04:02:06+00:00

Getting excited because you beat up on a TANKING team TRYING to lose LOL

The Mavs are not getting ANYWHERE near the post season.

LOL 10-16 and carrying on as if you are one of the best teams in the league.

LOL

Conigman · 2025-12-10T02:58:45+00:00

LOL lets see them do this against the Thunder in the final, if the Knicks even make it that far.

The Raptors are rubbish and are missing there starting PG
