[Big Pete]

Not a huge team-list Tuesday, we have a few players making their return like Hopoate, Luki and Lemuelu after long lay-offs otherwise it all seems straight forward.

I'm going to go back to basics and bold all the changes later tonight. On the whole it seems like a ho-hum week with the exception of the Broncos/Roosters.

 

[Foordy]

I see Turuva back ... i'm not buying Cleary's reasoning from sitting him out of their last match.

It happened immediately after it was reported that he had signed with the Tigers. If the contract negotiations were taking a toll on his emotional well-being, then you would think that would happen while he was still deciding on his future ... not once the decision had been made.

 

[Super Freak]

DCE free to play this week after successfully getting a downgrade.

 

[Super Freak]

Thinking about chucking $5 on a ATS multi this weekend.

Liam Martin - $3.80
Tolutau Koula - $2.25
Kotoni Staggs - $2.80
Viliame Kikau - $3.00
Reimis Smith - $3.20
Jamayne Isaako - $2.10
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck - $3.00
Jesse Ramien - $2.50

 

[Foordy]

Cleary has been ruled out for the Panthers

[Broncapz]

Yay for Thursday night footy. Where Souths will get pumped and commentary will be 75 minutes of talking about how good certain Penrith players are.

The analysis on the commentary is so 1 dimensional, and lazy. I actually miss Shane Flanagans commentary.

 

[Sproj]

Teams that sack their coach tend to play well straight after, so who knows, maybe they win tonight...would be an epic upset.

 

[Fozz]

Textbook hip drop

 

[Sproj]

Well no one knows what a hip drop is but that looks a text book example to me, right sinbinning.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Have a holiday, son

 

[BroncsFan]

Panthers must have 13 captains, because they're all up there having a chat to the ref

 

[Midean]

i missed it, was it a send off or a bin?

 

[Fozz]

Bin.

 

[Brocko]

Big call to give that without going bunker

 

[BroncsFan]

Big call to give that without going bunker

Bunker checks everything anyway... Ref's pretty much only send it to the bunker if they don't think it's a try.

 

[Brocko]

Oh yeah I get that but the put down just didn't look clean.

He got it right anyways so good call.
