4/7, pretty much the definition of "meh".
Pretty good result considering it's the first round and there have been a lot of player movement and teams not used to their new formations. My Dad's on two. Now that's a shocking round. But a pass is very good in the first round.

Shame on all those who tipped against the Chooks :p
Piss off Tim, dont a ****ing ****. Got 5/7. Missed Roosters and Sharks TBH.

I'm gonna ****ing kill Riley Brown if Wing's ruled out for 5 ****ing months TBH. Dire cheap shot.

Souths fans need to get over that tackle, sure some people might view it as cheap but there are tackles exactly the same as that every week, it just so happens it was Wing and he got injured. Every team does it...

International Coach
Yeah, you can't start penalising legal tackles, just because someone gets injured or are in a vulnerable position. League is rough, and occassionally that sort of thing happens. Anyway, how absolutely dire are the Dragons! I'm always very reluctant to blame a coach, but there is a huge discipline problem in this team which really needs to be addressed. More broadly, when you think about it, there are no real mature blokes in the Dragons outfit. They're all big kids - I don't think this helps.

5 from 7 so far - not too bad. Went Manly and Dragons. Kudos to Cronulla - that was a seriously gutsy win. I think they'll do well this year up til August, when they'll capitulate s they normally do when they make finals.
Oh boy, Saints have massive problems, even in round one, as do the Dogs and Penrith.

Dogs showed something, forgetting the second half, to be up 20-0 against that Eels side was a good performance, theres definitely more there for them this year than I though.

Penrith and Dragons I thought would show us more than last year, again it looks like their fans have nothing to look forward to...

Was just about to post it up tbh, but thanks anyway.

BTW, Melbourne's discourtesy to the Warriors in delaying their appearance at the start and after half time was seriously annoying. Poor form I reckon. Shame they didn't get belted.

And, for the record, they get away with more holding down of players than any other team in the comp. Seems to me the refs are afraid of penalising them.

Dire.

According to the news here, Melbourne has already been fined for that, I think it was around $10,000.
