The Knights are rubbish.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

NSW gets such a dick rub from the NRL in every facet and yet the fans in the State can't even make ANZ look decent for a top of the table clash.

**** this shit.

 

[Battler]

It's fucking tough watching Storm matches. The wrestle is a disgrace: just compare Souths in the ruck compared to Melbourne...

 

[Horseheadsup]

Burger in.

 

[Alec]

Slater and Smith are still so good.

**** this shit.

Lol and yet I'm guessing you'll still keep watching it tonight though.

The irony of that last sentence is great. That's why I come here.

I'm guessing you'll dutifully show up tomorrow as well. Watch every game this weekend and complain how shit they are.

I guess you'll be back next week as well.

Seriously mate, I like a lot of your posts and you bring a lot to discussons but do some self reflection.

If the NRL is shit -what are you doing following it?

Wtf have my viewing habits got to do with the shit crowd at ANZ? XD

 

[Alec]

Souffs certainly look far better than they have in years, they looked entertaining to watch while still playing structured. Maybe Seibold is the real deal. Watching Cook out of dummy half is unreal sometimes.

Nothing. Not a thing.

What do you think of the game so far?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Typical Wrestlemania Storm display all things considered.

Don't mind my negativity tonight, I'm just salty that my tipping has gone to shit already.
