You’ve not seen our man Parker I take it?

I like the bloke, he might not be an elite talent but he just goes for it.

Our Parker on the other hand, even though he was a good player and one club man can go **** himself, his post career nonsense since being rightfully sacked by kevvie, is a salty ****.

I have to mention it because that last name has baggage lol.

Cooper Cronk is starting to get on my nerves. He has a patronising voice.

Starting!…I drop a cpl of Panadol as soon as I hear him talk.

Just don't look at his nose too long, it's like looking directly at the sun.

I do too. I was replying to old mate Fernando who thinks Ponga gets hit in the head more than any other player. Brad gets belted in the head at least two-three times in a game. We usually get a penalty for one of them.

Every club needs that durable no nonsense player.

Watching the replay, I don't know why there was a bit of uproar about the Saifiti try.

Api makes a defensive decision. That cancels out any obstruction. Block or flat runners can't run at the defensive line and initiate contact with a defender, but when that defender makes a defensive decision to tackle that block or flat runner, any contact (even contact with the outside shoulder) is no longer illegal.

Making contact with the outside shoulder doesn't always equal obstruction. It comes down to whether or not the defender makes a defensive decision and it's pretty clear that Api makes a defensive decision.

Right call was made. It was a pretty easy one for the bunker.

What's the view of our Mates cross the ditch on Lodge ..

He is being hailed as the Messiah at Manly ... The leader we need ..

He has burned 3 previous clubs. Good player but seems a disruptive influence. Hopefully he settles down with you guys.

I wonder if Manly's is so high as they have to include both turbo and reuben's salary?

Would you count Shuster's? Obvs not playing there now but signed 800k as a half tho? Add in Turbo and DCE and there's most of it

 

[mrslong]

Dunno I thought it was in both players arms.

And wrong thread lol

Just needing to point out before witnesses that the afl refs are just as crook as nrl lol - he brought up the afl game in here.

Poor @Sproj that was a rough ride, as a broncos fan it felt pretty stock standard vs Melbourne

Had 2015 NRL GF written all over it. Just tried to shut up shop way too early and lost in heartbreaking fashion.

Was a fantastic game though, just wish I was a neutral.

 

[Wrighty]

To'a has been garbage tonight. Difference between the teams, IMO

 

[Wrighty]

Bulldogs with Sexton have an outside chance at an upset today. Broncos need to take this game seriously and turn up.

They have more than an outside chance. They should be favourites. We are like Souths last week and are missing 7 first graders. We were already light in middle depth this year and we are missing our three origin middles.

 

[Toookey]

Broncos by plenty. As they showed when playing us, they don't give a fook about being understrength.

Toby who??!

He should be breaking records over the next few years. For playing for the most nrl clubs by any 1 individual player .

I give dogs a massive chance... we have so many out and they'll be fired up at Belmore.

Reynolds needs to have a massive game for us to get the win today.
