Good to see Burgeys mate found guilty. Hopefully he receives a stiff sentence.

why do the nrl insist on putting potential game of the rounds on thursday nights then the mismatches on the weekend?

Should do some decent time you'd think

Marquee timeslots for TV are Thursday & Friday. NRL don’t give a **** about crowds.

Will he actually though?

Yeah, probably as good and tough a win as they’ve had in ages tbh. Would expect Melbourne to win quite comfortably in the dry, but Miukore to centre in those conditions was as good a coaching move as I’ve seen Brad Arthur pull off. Mind you, even in te dry I would expect him to tackle better than Blake. The defensive line basically looked a hundred times better without Blake. He needs a run in the reggies, and tonight just showed why.

Centre is a lot less about tackling and a lot more making the right decisions to be in the right position to tackle. Having the pace and agility to perform that is absolutely key as well. It worked ok last week but was no masterstroke IMO. Niukore got made look silly by Justin Olam a few times. And I wouldn't want Olam anywhere near my team. I'm surprised they've picked him there again but it shouldn't matter against Cronulla.

This really could be the year for Manly. They stink.

They'll comprehensively beat the Dragons tomorrow and they'll be off and limping.

 

[Burgey]

Unless his appeal is successful, for sure

 

[Kraken]

They'll comprehensively beat the Dragons tomorrow and they'll be off and limping.

This is actually one of the games I think the Dragons should win, which means of course you're right

 

[Burgey]

This was a bad take on return from a lengthy spell.

james tedisney has only ever won mickey mouse rings and was outplayed by corey allan in state of origin tell your friends

 

[Gnske]

DCE has to be the worst halfback in the game at the moment.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

It's our year

Going to bankwest for the first time tomorrow, despite living in close proximity to it. Loved the old parramatta stadium, played my football (soccer) grand final there for 21s, great experience. Anyway, taking the missus as part of her birthday present (she’s a massive eels fan unfortunately) so hopefully my dragons get up and spoil it

 

[Kraken]

Cracking win. Good to see Hook has brought back passion in the jersey, we just look up for the fight. Very pleasing to see. The stadium is a cracker as well, would very happily go again

 

[Shady Slim]

itstl that you were able to take ur misso to a footy game given the season still hasn't begun yet ?

 

[Spikey]

send the video tape of the last 10 minutes of the rabbits game to the library of congress

victor radley getting off suspension when we know jack hetherington would’ve copped an absolute levelling from the judiciary were he to fight his charge is an absolute joke

i’m all for hetherington getting marched and suspended but not when radley gets off with absolutely nothing

 

[Shady Slim]
