Warriors - Hurrell has been dropped for Jonathan Wright

Has Hurrell run over the coach's cat accidentally? And by cat, I mean son. And accidentally, I mean repeatedly.

Dragons - Merrin makes a timely return from a four game suspension, while Kiti Glymin comes in for Nightingale.

So close.

Really looking forward to the Manly/Souths rematch.

The last time these two teams played, Manly showed good intent with the ball but were off with their execution and it cost them. Souths weren't particularly great on the evening, but their ability to score a few tries in quick succession gave them the victory in the end.

Will tonight be any different?

Say what you will about DCE, but some of the best performances of any half have belonged to him this season. R2 vs Melbourne was sublime and R21 vs Broncos similar, with Foran also giving him a run for his money. If both turn up, Manly should win at home.

However, if they're off and they give the Souths forwards too much opportunity, I can see the Burgess boys & Luke causing too many headaches in the ruck with GI, Keary & Reynolds running the show.

On that basis, I'm tipping Souths but would not be surprised to see this game go down to the wire.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Quietly rooting for Cronulla tonight

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Cows are going to have to get out of this habit of slow starts and relying on JT to pull them out of the fire.

 

[Alec]

Up up Cronulla!

 

[broncos4life]

Cmon sharkies don't drop your bundle now

 

[ivanhungryjak]

What hope have these idiot officials got when they can't pick up a forward pass like that?

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Thanks Sharks for buying us another week at the top.

 

[Kimlo]

Up up Cronulla. They've won the game and kept us in first spot. Now **** off out of the competition.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Thanks for that, Sharkies. Sorry about Barba

 

[bb_gun]

That feeling when you find out the Cowboys just lost and we are still top of the ladder.

Suck shit Coote.
Suck shit Winterstein.
Suck shit Wright.
Suck shit Thursto.
Actually, suck shit to all the JT's.

SUCK SHIT COWBOYS!!!!

 

[Super Freak]

Cowboys don't look like a side that can win the premiership at the moment.

They are just making life a lot more difficult for themselves with their slow starts. It's been a problem for this year.

Granted, they have managed to come back from it quite a few times but they can't keep it up.

If they don't fix it, they will be knocked out of the finals very quickly..

 

[Huge]

Yeeharrr ! Go the Sharks ! You're the fabric of the game, perennial battlers, underdogs ! And thanks for looking after the mighty Broncos !

 

[Super Freak]

If I was at the game in Darwin, I would be asking for my money back.

That was a terrible game, especially the second half.

I don't mind low scoring games as long there is some quality, and this game lacked it.

I wanted it to go to extra time just so the fans would have something to talk about after the game.

 

[Broncoman]

That panthers v eels game was one of the worst games I've ever watched such poor quality all the way through.

We're still at the top thanks Cronulla
