[Big Pete]

Roosters/Eels - The battle of the spoiler teams. I expect a close game, but the Eels ability to grind and get through the 80 should be enough on the occasion.

Bulldogs/Tigers - The Doggies are beginning to find form at the right end of the season. I expect their bench will prove too big a handful and their backs should have too many points for the Tedesco-less Tigers.

Panthers/Sharks - Everything points towards a giant-killing victory to the Panthers, but this is the Panthers we're talking about so I expect the Sharks to go over with Lewis, Ennis, Barba and Holmes starring.

Raiders/Cowboys - Similar thoughts although I think the Raiders should be too strong for a gallant Cowboys outfit. I expect the centres to be found out and the big Raiders forwards to roll through the middle. The only way I see the Cows getting away with this is if Hannant, Taumalolo, Granville and Coote just go crazy around the ruck and expose the lazy Raiders defence.

 

[Unbreakable]

Big props to Tautau Moga on working his way back to first grade after an awful run of injuries, hope he has a blinder personally. Always liked him as a prospect.

 

[Sproj]

I've always rated Moga too and if he can somehow come back from all those knee destructions, he still could be a very good centre, though without the speed he could have had. He could be similarly successful with Kahu.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to the other Kahu?

Just went back to NZ and never came back. Think he plays union now. Check out Denan Kemps Locker Room podcast with Jordan.

Wasn't Moga being talked up as the next Folau once?

 

[Fozz]

Wasn't Moga being talked up as the next Folau once?

Yeah, as any tall Polynesian winger usually is.

[Fozz]

Parra down to one man on the bench. Semi off with a medial injury, Mannah with a shoulder and DeGois is concussed. And it's only 18 minutes in.

They're cursed.

Parra down to one man on the bench. Semi off with a medial injury, Mannah with a shoulder and DeGois is concussed. And it's only 18 minutes in.

They're cursed.

Refs calling them up for everything too. Oh snap they score.

 

[Fozz]

Great run by Mitchell. He's living up to the hype.

 

[Morkel]

Robson looks to have hit his late 50's, early 60's.

 

[Broncoman]

The Roosters and Eels would probably be putting up a better show than what the Reds are. I'm at the Reds and they are down 33-5 at halftime.

 

[Fozz]

What an effort by Manu to deny French a certain try!

 

[Fozz]

Pretty ordinary game over all but plays like those make it worth watching.

 

[Morkel]

French lying on the ground in an "I just scored" dive pose but his face says wtf just happened.
