Melbourne v Penrith may well be one of the biggest rating games on fox league ever.

 

[sosos]

Papp looked a little tentative in his first game back.

I reckon Penrith will target him all night with the high ball. Won't be much fun having Kikau storm through.

Luai is an incredible player, but Jahrome Hughes is in great form as well.

Would love to watch these two teams at full strength, but maybe that's for finals time.

Cleary looks to be no chance this week

This is god damn awful from the chooks and eels.

 

[Great8]

Looks like our annual capitulation is under way. Absolute trash served up tonight

 

[balmainforever]

No Moses, No parra.

 

[DEVO]

Not looking good for the Eels, RCG are out for the game and our defense rather porous.

 

[DEVO]

That doesn't look nice for Ferguson.

 

[DEVO]

Parra down to one on the bench with Blake and Ferguson's HIH.

 

[DEVO]

Game Over. Don't even get a six again for a professional foul.

 

[balmainforever]

I can’t see where parra scores from.
maybe Ipap

 

[juss]

Yeh Parra look inept in attack. Losing Blake doesn't help that either.

 

[balmainforever]

Not sure that was right.

 

[juss]

12 Point turnaround there. Bunker has just killed any chance of a good finish

 

[DEVO]

Why were the Roosters allowed to take a quick tap but 2 minutes earlier Parra weren’t?

The Referee has made it very obvious which team he supports.

I thought the pivotal moment was a disallowed try that would've made it 12-6 gets whisked up the other end to make it 18-0 instead. Was game over from there.

Parra hugely disappointing though against an undermanned Roosters.

 

[Aucklander]

Tipped the Roosters so happy with that.

Looking forward to Saturday night.

The game was lost at the selection table, Arthur is not a halfback, not yet anyway, and Brown is still rather inexperienced at five-eighth so we were always going to struggle in the halves. I would have tried something a little left of centre perhaps, Mahoney to halfback, he has a better passing and kicking game than Arthur and has more experience at top level, then the #9 could be shared between Will Smith and Stone. It couldn't have been worse than what I saw last night.

 

[royboy2]

Milford to Souths deal done, can't say I'm exactly over the moon but, ah well.

 

[juss]

Wests v Warriors tonight.

NZ have massive changes to their lineup, but the Tigers are far from reliable. I reckon I'm leaning Tigers as I rate Brooks and Douhi over Hiku and OSullivan

 

[sosos]

That's the funniest try I've seen

 

[sosos]

As a neutral, that that was very entertaining for all the wrong reasons. But that doesn't give credit to the NZ team for showing some sheer guts and determination. Well done Warriors.

 

[Aucklander]

Those last few minutes LoL.

Every now and then I get this reminder of how good it can be to support the Warriors and this was one of those times.
