Has anyone ever seen a round with as many knock-ons as I saw this round?
Every commentator mentioned the heat about a thousand times each, but it was like the ball was covered in lube. Last week there were two games where the rain absolutely pissed down, yet the ball handling seemed to be better.
Also a big LOL at Kevin Hayne and "The Other Bloke" (which should be the official name of all the second refs) with their miscommunication today. So awkward.
"Oh, I thought you said it was a knock-on against them..."
"Nup..."
[icon_lol1.
You and me both "The Other Bloke". Des would have been PISSED.

Round 2
But Sir! As much as I defend the man against the masses on BHQ, even I had to chuckle at Cam Smith's appeal to the ref, "It's a grapple Sir!" [icon_lol1.
Once you go black... Sammy T has joined the black boot brigade! I was very pleased to notice his liquorice boots on Friday night, they were darker than my ex-wife's heart! Keep up the belief BHQ, soon black boots will own the NRL...and then the world!
Blonde vs Brunette The lovely Suncorp cheerleaders were all blonde last week, with one token jaffa pants and a brunette. This week, there was distinct tension as the new brigade of cheerleaders walked onto the hallowed ground of Lang Park. Now we have an all bimbo Blonde affair, facing off to an all Brunette Brigade. Who will win? My guess is men.
Reality Bites! And Souths are still shit. tried to make that subtle, but really what's the point?
You wanna' go? Seriously, agendas left aside, what was Ennis thinking looking a foot up into the eyes of the Darkness? Petero just isn't that guy you want to start on.
All Whites I love the Warriors, but watching them run around in an all white kit is horrible. I still struggle with the Broncos away jersey, but this would be even harder to deal with for NZ fans!
Chuck Norris shat himself! In between saving the world, Steve Price somehow managed to improve on his brilliant form on Sunday. Throwing not one but two cut out passes to set up tries, isn't in the CV of a Prop. The man needs to be drug tested...for awesomeness! There are rumours that race horses use his blood for doping.
Never missed a beat Stacey Jones. Wow. He looked over whelmed first 5 minutes but something clicked and it was like he never left the game. I haven't seen someone come back that easy, since the greatest halfback in the modern era, returned from Warrington in 2002.

I raised on eyebrow this weekend at a couple of mid air tackles on attacking catchers, particularly the one on Simmons in the Sharks game.
If the NRL are so concerned about safety with defending catchers and kickers being taken out it makes no sense that the rule is different for attacking catchers.

Yeah, but at the same time, how do you stop a try from a bomb if you can't tackle a guy in the air? Only solution there would be to change the kicking rules so that any ball that carries into the in goal on the full is an instant 20 metre restart, regardless of whether it's caught or not.

I'm from Canada aye! Not many blokes can get away with the full beard and rough, long haired look let alone many blood nuts. However my hat's off to you Bradley! This guy needs an axe, a red flannel shirt, a beanie and a Ford 250 ASAP! I'm loving the big fella's new look and if he wasn't such an average player, I'd start a campaign! [icon_lol1. [icon_lol1. Seriously; how can the ladies resist this? And this is the tamed version, since this photo he's taken up forestry in Canada!
The Myth; Not only has his form gone from worse to worse, but The Myth is actually at a point where he's annoyed with his own form. Possibly the biggest fake in the game, please NSW pick him at 7 again. The old man is a living legend, the kid's a joke.
My blood boils; I don't know the identity of the victim, however on Friday night a player leaped for a ball and was tackled mid air....by The Myth! Now, whilst I understand that sometimes when contesting a high ball, a player will mis-time his jump and subsequently tackle a defending player who is contesting the ball. However The Myth didn't even leap for the ball, simply smashed shoulder first into the catcher, who was mid air at the time. The ball was caught and this is the only reason I can think of for the ref to not see or take action. I can’t understand how this has come out in the judiciary or post match interviews.
When we issuing the vagina's? I have been against protecting kickers ever since the idea was first touted in 2007. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for major action against late hits and high tackles on kickers, but this round has been a joke. People say that a kicker being tackled, mid kick, is dangerous and leaves the kicker open to a high chance of injury. I like to answer this with a question; Have you ever watched an AFL game? You know, that game where kickers are tackled and bumped mid kick for 80+ minutes!? Now, whilst we all like to remind GayFL supporters that their game is in fact homosexual, surely the fact that our kickers can't be touched make RL more pansy than it's queer southern counterpart? What makes me even more bewildered is that it was only last year that a supposed problem with the game was the predictable nature of teams kicking high balls ingoal at the end of a set. How much more predictable and how pinpoint are those kicks going to be when the kickers can get the ball, have a durrie and check their sms' before putting up the bomb? Robert Finch and the powers that be; if the gorillas up front can pound each other senseless all day, the dwarves in the halves can take a hit or two, we support/play a contact sport FFS!
It isn't pies; Last week I pondered whether Wiki Jnr, that #6 for Storm, had been eating one too many pies in the off season, but he showed he was indeed well and truly injured against the Broncos. The turn around in form this week was spectacular. How long 'till he's in the centres in a Maroon shirt again?
What are ya' thinking? Canberra. [icon_lol1. I like where Furner's head's at, however either his old man has told him about the great Jack Gibson or he's got the legend's playbook. So the scrum play was disallowed, but I expect to see set plays with 8 runner's in motion next weekend!
LOLZ!!! Even Penrith did them, nothing more needs to be said. icon_thumbs_u

I completely agree about Pearce and I said it before Origin last year all he has is a kicking game and even it is predictable, I would take Thurston, Prince, Wallace, Cronk, Mullen, Sandow, Kimmorley and Orford just off the top of my head before him and NSW saw it fit to pick him at halfback LOLZ!
