Forgot the Dolphins & Titans.

Forgot the Dolphins & Titans.

Ta, must have gotten too excited about Jamal.

 

[Sproj]

I’ll be interested in watching South’s and Canberra this week.

Souths have done what the media called for but at this stage Big Ears is just throwing darts out of desperation.

Canberra on the other hand are starting to look really strong with their injection of youth, even more so with Stewart at the back. If their kids can keep it up for the whole season, they are dark horses but it’s a big if.

JD is cooked, he's on a hiding to nothing at this point.

They could come out and win but they'll just get flogged the week after the bye (they might even lose the bye as well).

Love.

Roosters had the cap space for Flegler

Heard Dean Ritchie made himself look like a massive idiot once again on 360 talking about some Parra player?

 

[BroncsFan]

Heard Dean Ritchie made himself look like a massive idiot once again on 360 talking about some Parra player?

They were talking about Sanders and why weren't parra picking him when they need a game managing 7 that can kick... FYI Sanders was the NSW U19 7 last year that was super impressive in the origin game.

Ritchie was sounding like he was having a stroke trying to get across that Sanders is only a 7 and doesnt offer utility value so it's hard to try and fit him in the team... and they kept saying, "but they need a 7".. "you dont need utility value in the 7 jersey"

Before Ritchie started mumbling they had mentioned there might be a chance they're not picking him because he's heading to Canberra next year, but he could move immediately this year.

What I think Ritchie was trying to say, is that parra havent been picking him because without having utility value it's hard to introduce them via the bench... so they were going with Asi and Blaize because of the extra utility value they bring.

But everyone had moved beyond that and were talking about them desperately needing a 7, because if they dont do something soon the loss of Moses could derail their season

A ref having his last game in first grade for awhile

Todd Smith not reffing this weekend... turns out penalising penrith does cost you a spot in first grade...

 

[Sproj]

Todd Smith not reffing this weekend... turns out penalising penrith does cost you a spot in first grade...

That is ridiculous. Plus, regardless of the vitriol, that ball looks like it does go backwards, it is the very definition of a 50/50 call.

Happy to see though that the same has been applied to Sutton for getting the Wishart decision totally wrong based on there being zero conclusive evidence to overturn the decision.

So the NRL should drop the pretense, just say you rule based on what the commentary says not what actually happens.

Was this for knock back call? What about whoever was in the bunker that confirmed the try?

 

[BroncsFan]

Was this for knock back call? What about whoever was in the bunker that confirmed the try?

Not sure... it would be harsh if that's the case.

Touchie was the one calling it back and then bunker doesnt overrule

 

[Fozz]

Roosters self destructing here.

Offside players deliberately walking through the Knights markers during the PTB, got pinged for it the second time.

Then Keary spends too much time fucking around during the line drop out and gets timed out.

Amateur hour

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Thought Ponga might have got HIA’d there.
