Great win by Canberra, soft penalty to set up the win for Brisbane. Seeing these blokes stay down is really sad.

 

[skipper kelly]

the bunker is a joke

 

[brutus76]

Why aren't ex players REFEREEING?

**** got absolutely sh*t on at the end there

He puts it down on the paint - then the ball rolls away - try scored - immaterial what happens after

 

[eddiesmith]

Bunker in Sharks game will get the sack for not sticking to the script when he sent off the Roosters player that Gee wasn’t going to…

With everyone against the Sharks again they’ve beaten another premiership contender. Will they be taken seriously yet?

I agree, Paul Gallen should be the NRLs no1 referee.

Paul Gallen couldn't even spell NRL

Off to the games today.

Looking forward to the atmosphere and all the drunk Queenslanders.

Still better than who only knows 2 words,

Penalty Melbourne.

After watching Wigan book their spot at Wembley this afternoon, I was made up to come home and see the Sharks turn over the Roosters, Another terrific contest. Nicho Hynes is so good.

Firming for origin. Hoping he is linked with Burton.

Supposed to be a sell out.
It is actually warm out in the sun today.

 

[damicky]

I have already lost my voice & Melbourne Storm haven’t even made it on to the field yet

 

[phantom13]

How is Blaze still on the field? HIA not a thing apparently

Munster

Munster

Looked like a big snapper on a fishing boat the way he was flopping around after it.

 

[Jatz]

Did our best to lose to the Titans. They'd be kicking themselves to have thrown that away.

4 wins from 4 without Ponga.

The suncorp pitch looked absolutely butchered by Saturday night and worse all day Sunday

Yeah it was awful, really early in the weekend.

Just not sure it gets enough sun? Seems to get covered from the grandstands quickly.

I think theyve had a bit of rain up there of late too which likely doesnt help.

Not helped by the extra game on Thursday

 

[Jatz]

Not helped by the extra game on Thursday

Yep, absolutely.

I'm torn on that - it helped produce a big crowd due to everyone being up there anyway but then you're putting the turf under even more duress on an already big weekend.

Yep it’s catch 22, I just wonder would they have got similar at say Townsville?

We'll find out next time when the game is in Newcastle.
