The doomsday talk of the past few rounds seems to be notably absent
you rang?

these guy sucked. worse than the dragons. kids, and not even a full team, a 1 man bench. copped 150pts in the 1st 4 rounds, ffs the titans creamed them
did brisbane improve an iota since last week? yep
was it better viewing? yes, that iota makes a massive difference when your opposition is impersonating a turnstyle, so i felt it was a bit of an illusion fuelled predominantly by the knights
would i put a dollar down if we were playing the cowboys at 1300smiles or anz tomorrow? not even if it was your dollar
come october? quite possibly.. but with what ive learned today that will largely be made possible by the partial ingestion of copious quantities of peppermint oil.
massive WB fan so still trust the journey so far implicitly, has a bit of a dragons 2009/10 feel about, like rocking a vending machine over.. time will tell
Milf is entertainment plus! like marshall in his prime. if there was no ban id have him edging morgan and tedesco for the anzac. oates is looking great but in attack he's really just diving and planting them.. you really cant have him ahead of feldt or barba debuting on the wing - boyd has to be #1 for certain. if its on form at least, dunno of course there may be a strategy at play or succession mechanics in the works. hard to go past roberts for nsw, dugan the otherside and tedesco at 1, holy shit it was good to see him back himself and cook ol mate and just gun it from 30/40 out, plus unselfishly handing off to kahu as someone mentioned, bit of class right there (or successful coaching/conditioning)
best of all was watching Hunt.. after all his running game is what's made him the past few years. trust WB & Co will keep on his case and keep him grounded.. a normal team would never have given up so many sets, nor fallen off so many tackles with such crap and injury ravaged defence. but sometimes there isnt much on and you've got to chance it.. hopefully not every 5th tackle tho lol, but even without any apparent focus on attacking training its good to see the team explore and discover some new attacking options
not quite doomsday but still, taking nothing away from the effort, 10 tries is nothing to sneeze at i guess!
