For the Broncos...

Klemmer not cited for throwing waterbottle at another player. Burgess got 2 weeks for the same offence last year.

It's the MRC. You expect them to be consistent and impartial?!?!?! Like a professional outfit? Get out of town.

Manly definitely made a mistake by letting Gutherson leave, he would've been the perfect Five-Eighth to partner with DCE & Trbojevic in the spine for the next 5 years.

 

[Broncoman]

We're spoiled for choice for rookie of the year. Another try to French, his ability to back up in support is unbelievable.

What would a rookie 17 look like? [MENTION=7803]Broncoman[/MENTION] [MENTION=8290]Unbreakable[/MENTION]

One of the most improved players in the competition.

At the start of the year, I would have tipped Walker to be the better player but now the jury is out.

A team of 17 or just a rookie?

Wow the Warriors would be terrible to cheer for

How'd I go [MENTION=1899]Big Pete[/MENTION]

 

[Big Pete]

Looks promising.

What do you make of young Joseph Manu for Sydney?

I'd probably cheat with 9. There weren't that many regulars in the NRL, so I'd have to go on reserve grade form. Chudleigh was a stand-out in an awful Cutters line-up and won the Courier Mail medal on Tuesday. I thought he was impressive on debut and bigger things are in store for 2017.

 

[Foordy]

Does anyone know why the Panthers home final is going to be played at allianz instead of their home ground (CUA?)

 

[jarro65]

Also Ennis escaping suspension is absolute crap. Can anyone explain what the reasoning is without it being bias or flat out cheating?

They want the Sharks to break the drought.

I hope the guppies get slaughtered in the finals !

All Sydney sides have to play at a major stadium to draw the biggest crowd possible.

It makes sense in some instances, but for the most part I think it's unfair. Penrith deserve the advantage of hosting the game, the Bulldogs don't deserve the right to a neutral venue.

If the NRL was drawing big crowds, I could understand it. But I'd be surprised if the game draws more than 30K.

 

[Broncoman]

Perfect tipping week......again

 

[Harry Sack]

Perfect tipping week......again

Good work Bman. Me too......if I'd remembered to put in my fucking Thursday night tip.

 

[Porthoz]

I don't know why I thought the Tigpies could upset the Raiders... silly me.

 

[Alec]

I really love watching the Raiders play like this. I hate Ricky, but they are still awesome to watch. Also, I know he wasn't playing today, but why couldn't we sign Paulo before? He's been the best mid-season buy, he'd have been awesome next year too.
