PRE-GAME [Round 18, 2023] Broncos vs Dolphins

[Brocko]

Think the first game at Suncorp is late July too, surely we could have played Suncorp this weekend...

 

[Mr Fourex]

All for a womens world cup........

Of which **** all people will turn up to watch.......

Gotta make sure the ground isn't chopped up. Makes the diving look more realistic.

Cleary would get a half break every run with his chin going through the line.

Just like Latrell get's a 'half break' with every run because his gunt gets through the line

 

[Kimlo]

All for a womens world cup. Its pathetic when you look at it how we as the major tenants of the ground are locked out

Yeah I've been going to most home games this year but I'm not even going to look at tickets for the Gabba. I'm not paying good money to see ants.

Will be interesting to see if the crowd numbers suffer or if a wave of new people go just for novelty.

 

[winslow_wong]

if he wasn't a lazy **** it'd be a linebreak, but he just sticks his nose through and goes **** it that's enough.

He almost broke through against the titans but then Reece provided the Shepard and followed it up with ref spray.

Some straight up news.com.au/foxsports.com.au BS headline.

This is the headline:

‘Sometimes they never learn’: Bennett’s dig at Walsh over ugly ref spray​

Hmm ok, odd that Wayne would have a go at a 20yo player. Let's read the article for more details.

Dolphins coach Wayne Bennett, meanwhile, said Walsh deserved the three-match ban and even questioned whether he would learn from the incident.

“Absolutely. The referee has got to be protected and the game does them a great disservice when we don’t,” Bennett replied when asked if the ban was fair.

“To the game’s credit they have always stood up for referees whether I’ve been a coach or player. So they should.

“Sometimes people learn and sometimes they never learn.

“That’s to be seen what he learns out of it.”

That's it. That's Wayne's "dig" apparently...

**** I hate that organisation's news sites.

Thats another nothing headline. Totally agree with you.

Thats a problem though, we are still just tenants.

Tbf, the viewing figures even for Womens football dwarf Rugby league.

I agree and notice it got edited fairly quickly. It now says "crack" rather than "dig."

Some shitty subbing on that masthead.

It's been reported that Chris Butler isn't reffing a game this week. Even though Annesley denies it, it looks like he has been dropped for a week.

Considering some of his baffling decisions (especially 6 agains for both sides) and his loss of control of the game last week I think it's the right call.

He’s in the bunker for a couple games still I think, so plenty more cooked decisions to make

Such a Wayne-ism. I wonder on his role in the media's approach to twisting words. I mean, he never really says anything straight, and they are usually forced to try to get some headline out his "maybe" answers.

Pretty sure alot of the games are going to be at or near capacity. I know a lot of soccer people who are keen as. The finals are sold out from what I’m told. Apparently it’s a big deal.

 

[simplythebest]

Just like Latrell get's a 'half break' with every run because his gunt gets through the line

Fun fact - my wife taught me the word 'gunt' years ago. It's amazing.

This piece of over ripe knob cheese complaining that Reece turned up to the hearing looking like Justin Bieber is arguably the funniest piece of "journalism" on the whole thing for mine. Back in your box fuckbag

it's one of my favourite words ever
