This is massive. If they keep the rest of that squad they’d start warm favorites next season

My thoughts for the weekend The Knights should have stolen that, no one in support of Ponga was a disgrace in that state of game Storm just win, they always have My boys win the battle for Brissy, looking like life after Herb and Fleg is alright Warriors with a proper Houdini, how someone...

Well he didn’t get the ball. Probably becomes a bit like the bump. If you do it and injure you’re gonna be in strife. I don’t love it but I don’t wanna see injuries so, yeh not too sure. They already tried dropping cook too and it was a total failure, the bloke the started over him had two...

I think it’s fair, you’ve gotta make a decision before you get there about whether you’re making the ball or not. Harsh but it’s super dangerous as we saw. On the rabbitohs, how did dropping Cook go last time? Demetriou is absolutely clueless

******* hell, how long can the rabbits survive playing this insipid s**t

Of course the Storm are back to full strength when we get them.

What a wild finish for parra v wests I’d say it was the right outcome

I stand to be corrected but when he was at wests there were a lot of very public contract disputes and it felt like he threatened to walk everytime he wasn’t getting a top 10 contract (mostly for top 150 work). I think he’s a bit of a whipping boy, probably a touch unfair but his rep is that...

From my view edwards made a beeline for JWH seeking the penalty half a step either way and he can get around him (and still wouldn’t have made a difference to the try).

Tried to post a detailed reply but it’s not letting me. Safe to say I agree with you PhatBoy if I can work out what the * is going on I’ll post the full reply

I ******* hate the Riff (and not just for the miracle comeback in last years granny to deny my boys) but you have to respect what they’ve built and how efficient that system is, it’s frankly incredible. I think similar to Jatz I think if the rooster with their tails FIRMLY up and everything...

Do they have a million half as good as JFH? Come on LP. If Penrith win its because their system works so well, not because they have blokes who can cover and provide what JFH and Cleary do.

Yeh completely agree. Cleary and JFH are HUGE holes for Penriff. Teddy is back in really really good form, Young has slotted in nicely, Radley seems to have ironed out the brain fades Keary is back as well.

Mark Geyers son debuting for the panthers. God I feel old.

Im not sure how you punish the players trying to milk it? Professional foul 10 in the bin? Feels harsh for the first bloke who just gets bumped at the wrong angle.

At the risk of defending the indefensible the sport needs an obstruction rule, we dont want blockers in the defensive line leading to tries so its always going to be a rule that either winds up black and white (as it is) and at the very least you cant argue for one over another, or you make it...

Oh the obstruction call against Manly, didn’t they bring in the discretionary aspect of the rule for the bunker about committing to a running player and not being in play? Hard to see how it didn’t apply there, Gus banging on about how he wasn’t chasing was annoying but he was absolutely right

Mitchell looked completely and utterly disinterested last night. Like he truly would have rather been anywhere else in the world. I realize Cook hasn’t set the world on fire but Havili was an absolute abomination for the first 15. That highly rated back 5 hasn’t fired a shot, even with Wighton...

Agree with most of this.

Walsh is an absolute jet, he just makes sooooo many dumb errors. If he cleaned them up he’d comfortably be the best player in the league imo

Reece Walsh makes ALOT of errors

Jeez feels rough in the storm game, thought the storms defence was absolutely crazy good, organization and desperation. In spite of being a one try game it felt pretty enthralling and high quality

I didn’t hear SEN so can’t comment on that specifically but all the news outlets I saw reported on the games and the success but naturally commented on the incident as they must.

1- not sure about that. They’re obligated to report on it and it has marred the weekend. Not sure what else they can say. 2- do you mean the rabbits? Manly didn’t play the broncos

I think there is a certain sensitivity to it that is exercised regardless of the offenders race because ultimately the victim is deeply hurt by it. I do think that to a degree it’s treated differently because of Spencer’s race from a media POV, but I think that’s mostly because the media is...

Yeh it definitely did but I think that made for a better spectacle and ultimately negated the field dimension issues. I thought both games would be an absolute slog (wingers would be negated and no one would kick because of the small in goal) but the first game was nothing like that at all...

Yeh that’s true. I remember thinking Gagais try from the Mitchell bullet if that’s on a full sized field Gagais strolling over untouched but on this field he still needed to beat a man. Ultimately it looked a little off for wider shots but I don’t think it impacted the quality of the game.

I’ve got a very low bar for the aptitude of rugby league players but that was bad even by those low standards. Piss poor, also, in a weird way it’s even more bizarre it came from a player who isn’t white. Spencer would surely have had racial slurs in his time, you’d think he’d be more aware of it.

Manly and the Rabbits seemed to make it look a lot better (that was a very skillful game) but the broncos and roosters made it look like a real slog.

Yeh, I suppose it’s tough to respond in an on field interview without admitting guilt but it was pretty s**t (all good fun or whatever he said).
