So we need Sharks to lose against rested bulldogs or Knights

And we need to beat melbourne
 
I need to vent this up front: The channel 9 commentary was a ****ing disgrace tonight. ****ing Phil Gould seriously, there is one **** who makes love to the sound of his own voice; and he, along with the knuckle dragging idiots around him couldn't have made it clearer he had a fat wad down on the Cows to win. A ****ing disgusting call. It makes the game feel so cheap and low brow and nasty.

As for us, really not up to it in defence at the moment. We consistently concede almost as much as we score. Yes it's served us well in winning games at all costs, but Melbourne will punish you for those sorts of mistakes and they won't let you back into it. I love Reece as a player, he is the best player to watch when he's on the fly, but he has to start maturing at some stage. Looking flashy takes you far with the kids and the teeny boppers but it won't win you comps.

I was happy to see Madge so livid at HT, and didn't look much happier at FT. He knows we still aren't executing in defence or maintaining good possession when needed, especially when in all likelihood we will barely cling on to 4th only because the Wahs couldn't spoil Cherry's party. I'd rather that NOT be the circumstances in which we make the top 4. It's a lowsy way to get there. ****ing earn it.

May as well treat next week like our Grand Final. I would be cracking the whips this week. Also my god, Riki is such a shit player. He needs to be replaced in a real hurry. Piakura also had some truly stupid moments tonight as well.
 
Madge has seemed so soft, his reputation was this hard nut guy whos always angry, he looks so happy go lucky and jolly
 
Our contact is garbage, they slap at players & constantly end up caught underneath the tackle. It all stems from the same thing, they have no aggression. There’s no one is that pack that can intimidate through a big hit when they get in these periods of big momentum swings. Riki personifies it, for the second time in a few weeks he’s given a easy run 10m out from the try line with only one player to beat and he somehow manages to bomb it through a sheer lack of physicality.
I would have been tempted to give Kobe the Carl Webb medal solely for some of the shots he put on late. It was so jarring to see the Broncos actually win the contact for once.
 
Raiders won the infringement count 16-7 today and Ricky still spat the dummy about the ref and interpretations. Imagine if he was on the end of our counts.

If we are going to keep being so ill disciplined, we can't have low completions. You'll never be able to sustain that each week and keep winning.
 
can i just say the commentary was ****in sickening tonight from ennis and that other jibberah.
complained about every single call that went broncos way but don't say a word when cowboys get a favourable call.

terrible watching experience for a bronco fan. more and more I find my self watching the game on mute.

really do hope DAZN dont want to pay for the next rights like some ppl fear. would love for some fresh commentors. ones that are actually non bias and just enjoy the sport

Not sure if 9 was any different but this game was being shown on FTA as well. Should have switched over.

if i knew that i would of. not used to Saturday games being on 9. although with what I'm reading 9 might of been just as disgusting

Voss deathrides us every game he calls, along with his dipshit sidekick brandy.
 
Why is there contemplation about us loosing to storm, are they not going to rest?

They didn’t last year and Bellamy indicated they won’t again.

Grant is out but sounds like they want Hughes to play if he is fit to get a run before finals.
