Melbourne in all sorts here. Hughes gone probably for the year with a suspected broken wrist and they've lost a prop as well. They'll find it hard to win the comp if he's out for the year.

On meth

That’s a death sentence

He always struck me as a troubled soul tbh. Talented player

Big Nelson just doesn't seem to know how to stay out of trouble.

A prop who keeps ****ing **** up and is being paid 860k a year

How was that first Walsh try allowed?

Brisbane have been playing well, but I didn't know you could shove a bloke out of the way when you're both going for the ball.

Ah **** here comes the toilet drinking celebration.

I hate Walsh and the Broncos but Papenhuzyen definitely grabbed him first, if you watched it

Everyone right now - “Why don’t the Storm play like this against us?”

Saw the replay and didn't see the Papi grab, but I was talking on the phone at the time, so probably missed it.

Brisbane's defence has been pretty special tonight. They seem to have become a better team without Reynolds and Mam there.

Turns out drinking water from the sh!thouse and turning up pissed for training not the worst preparation.

I really don’t like the inconclusive thing with the ref’s call. Can see something pop up in a crucial finals game with that.

 

[Burgey]

Can't believe Brisbane is a top four side. Whoever wins it this year will have done a Bradbury, it's that wide open. With Hughes out, Penrith come right back into it imo.

 

[Kraken]

we're all going for Canberra, right? (except fans of clubs actually in the finals ofc)

 

[Burgey]

Difficult to support a team coached by Stuart after the way he did the dirty on parra tbh

If Penrith wasn’t there, I’m rooting for Warriors (unrealistic perhaps)/Raiders

 

[Shady Slim]

i think the raiders are fraudulent but if not us then i am rooting for them yeah
but we are fraudulent too
dogs
wahs, but they aren’t going anywhere
raiders
pathers
storm

in order of rooting^. roosters sharks and broncos can get in the bin

 

[_Ed_]

Well, that's a handy start.

EDIT: But it's been less good since then. Had my doubts about the second Manly try, though.

FMD I saw no evidence whatsoever of the ball getting down. The bunker is putting way too much emphasis on the on field call.

Jumped on the Panthers this week @14/1. If anyone can win outside the top four it's them.

Got 2k on this so with 28k riding my opinion will obviously be biased.
However without a word of a lie I'd take a Warriors win in a heartbeat given I've come to think I may never see them win a premiership in my lifetime.
Sadly though this just isn't happening as there's no way they can get themselves up to win four matches in a row against top opposition.
A Raiders win? While it wouldn't be the worst result I find it hard to support a guy like Ricky Stuart. His passion and devotion to the game is A+
but he has always come across as a moaning whinger and a cry baby. Just because he's winning atm and crying less doesn't mean he's changed
his spots.
Money aside I'd like to see the Panthers win again and keep the dynasty going. It's hard not to like Ivan Cleary and most of the Panthers squad.

Has a team ever shot itself in the foot mid-season more spectacularly than the Dogs?

And now, instead of having a rest, they go into the finals with none of the momentum they were looking to take out of this match.
