Canberra vs Melbourne all of a sudden feels like a very important game.

 

[CanuckSuns]

Bye for the Sharks

Thank goodness. Team is driving me nuts.

 

[sosos]

Tough game for the Sea Eagles. Nth QLD in some ripping form

 

[phantom13]

Be interesting to see how the Panthers bounce back, Dolphins defence seems better than previous years but remains an issue.

 

[Falconista]

That ladder...such an eclectic top six!!

 

[Around the Wicket]

Manly 30+ tonight

Brooks is having one hell of a season.

Brooks is having one hell of a season.

*since Foran took over.

 

[Aucklander]

The Warriors have a real opportunity to cement themselves in the top 4 in the next few weeks. I hope they don't blow it.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Raiders 12-0 up and ref changes the game penalizing Corey Horsbough for back chat when Raiders have the ball.. so soft by the ref

 

[lizard man]

Storm lose again …. That’s 5 losses in a row

the wrestle isn't allowed now and there struggling.. who would have thought lol

Rabbitohs next week won’t be easy for them either …. Could make 6 in a row

 

[Around the Wicket]

some of the 6 agains are so soft though lol but you can't feel sorry for Melbourne when they legit leg humped for years.

Rabbitohs next week won’t be easy for them either …. Could make 6 in a row

rabbits / dolphins / tigers... be a interesting few weeks, could easily lose all 3 of them.

Can't blame him either.

Storm could give away 6 again every second tackle with the way they slow the play the ball. More than anyone else. Corey was sick of it.

Surely it's not just that? I really don't think they have the squad this year, too many journeymen.

Or you could say, so stupid by CH to mouth off in possession.

 

[moto748]

Great effort by the Dolphins, and a great watch, but Penrith do what champion sides do. Just terrific rugby league.

Love or hate them you have to respect them. Clearly not on top of their game last night and the Phins played out of their skins (particularly defensively) half the Penrith boys looked sore or tired too.

 

[brutus76]

Storms edge defense not great (particularly on the left)
Not having big blokes Katoa and Tui and Lisati hurting
Missing Coates

Ideally play more youth seeing Meaney, Wishart, Warbrick and Moale are leaving at the end of the season
Isaako should be a great addition next year
Keeley brings some youth and fire to the forward pack (probably starts from the bench though)
Shibasaki and Tapuha would be two young blokes i'd be looking at in the offseason
