would've done the world a service if we relegated the broncos to the utensil today but alas

Sad reaccs only. So close! I had money on the dogs at 1-12 as well

 

[Burgey]

Not particularly worried about Parra's attack given they've been working so hard on defense for a couple of months. Arthur said as much both pre-and-post game. Was happy to see them be more expansive again last night though. Lots of errors but they'll be better for it after playing on wet tracks for the past two weeks.

When is Sonny Bill due to play his first game back? Looking forward to watching him again. Christ he was a great player back in the day.

really hoped the rumours the dogs were trying to court him for one last hurrah were true but alas we got blake green's corpse instead

 

[Burgey]

I can see what they're hoping Green will do - take the role of Foran for a year before they jag that young fella Burton who played 5/8 for the Panthers earlier this season and who can't get a game now - kid is a gun and off contract at the end of 2021.

 

[Shady Slim]

if green can stay healthy and we do snag burton (which is what i'm hearing they want to do too) then yeah it's a good play. huge if on both though.

we need to use the knights blueprint for a rebuild - pay a bit overs for mid-tier vets with winning experience from good clubs (and indeed the green acquisition could be the start) to instill the culture of a winning club, then hunt for rookies with heaps of promise who can't get a game or are being undervalued.

acquisitions like the napa one were titans signings

rather than a slight overpay for mid tier vets they massively overpay for over the hill guys or guys who were never all that to begin with and it means you're hamstrung to try and build a winning roster

Meanwhile, at the other end of the ladder...

 

[Burgey]

Or to tackle...

woeful from Parra. Gone I reckon

 

[Burgey]

Pretty ordinary that Benji Marshall found out he wasn’t getting an offer from the Tiges by reading it in the paper. Bloke has been an ornament to the joint

 

[Burgey]

If someone can explain to me what the actual **** Chad Townsend was thinking this evening, id be grateful

 

[Burgey]

How good is a Friday night NRL western Sydney derby with ****loads on the line then straight into the first ODI from England. **** yeah

Things bogans say for $200

 

[Kraken]

lord I hate the dogs, but I'm so so happy they won tonight @Shady Slim
hold on now so those Brisbane ****s get the spoon pls

 

[Shady Slim]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah suck a **** broncos

 

[Shady Slim]

rare that i want parra to win and thankfully it looks like they will do so - the cowboys have a huge task next week ahead of them for all that is good and just in the world

 

[Gnske]

That was one of the worst games I've ever seen

 

[Burgey]

It was fantastic. Penrith beat the same hapless outfit by the same margin a fortnight earlier in the dry and are heralded as nigh unbeatable.

Have had a spare Rio on Parra to win it at 17s.

 

[the big bambino]

I reckon its so good for the game that when the roosters get the mid season wobbles, cop a few injuries, fall behind a side like Penrith then - budda boom budda bing - Sonny Bill Williams! And stay under the salary cap too. How do they do it? ****in magic I reckon.

 

[Burgey]

And stay under the salary sombrero
