Is that a homesickness bug I wonder.

Last I heard, Ox had defo been ill last week, and is gutted he has not been able to play.

Well we'll be the last to know I'm sure. But as it is the club is sticking to that story and while thats the case I hope Orford gets well soon.

Whatever the problem.

Well isn't there some sort of registration window for NRL clubs? I'm sure I read that somewhere that if he signs to play this season it has to be before 30 june?

though personally im not convinced by these stories of homesickness. the only people to make anything of the story is the aus press as the bulls, manly and the player himself have all denied any truth to it.

I continue to be assured that all these rumours are totally baseless, and that even his agent says they are rubbish. And so, on that basis, and as Sam said, whatever illness or injury problem Ox is struggling with I hope he makes a full recovery soon. We need him.

Think a bit of support for the Ox is in order.
He says he's defo staying.
Some press says he ockering.

Lets for the moment trust the player who'se professional history has been one of intergrity.
Let's for the moment remember that the press who are not in possession of facts can be disingenuous

how clueless are the sky reporters. Giving team news he just said kearney was absent then team graphics came up with him included. Nearly gave me a heart attack. no langley though which is a blow. crossley on the bench.

penalty after penalty after penalty. they certainly know how to milk the ref! think bulls should start to do it.

the tannoy bloke is doing my nut in. a case of sing when your told to.

Was that when Bill Arthur reffered to the Bulls coaching duo of Brian Nobe and Jon Sharp?

they now rip the ball out and ref says knock on. what is going on?

apart from out rubbish defence!

How poor are we?

dangerous tackle on hall there. nothing will get done about it though!

same old rfl. totally bent

We are poor, don't blame anything of that half on the officials.

1st 20 we were bloody shocking. tbf we have improved since godwin came on.

Not blaming officials but would love to know how a crusaders player can lose a ball in the tackle and we get penalised for a ball steal yet when situation reversed ref decides our player knocked on. Couldn't see any difference in the 2 incidents

where on earth were both reardon and nero for crusaders first try? both went missing yet again. our saving grace may be crusaders losing thomas to injury.
