Certainly unreal finish two great finals matches tonight. Top two might entertain resting players now. No chance for Penrith they won’t want to play either of those sides from low in the eight
-
Bulldogs blew that dropping 2 balls over the line. One of those games where Melbourne despite dominating in the first half, should have been tracked down in the 2nd. Couldn't believe how fragile Papenhuyzen was on defence. He didn't look comfortable.
And yeah, that finish in the other game.

Warriors conceding soft late tries to the wooden spoon Tightens is exactly why they're not going to be playing for long in September....

Yep. Was weird watching a team run up 30 points but not look like they were playing well at any stage.
I'm kind of hoping we're playing within ourselves at the moment (like the 2015 AB RWC team in the pool matches) and the team will be unleashed in the finals. But I fear we're at (TBH above) our ceiling.
Ah well, back in the 4 so

Usually the case when you play the pathetic Titans.

Brilliant round of footy.
Friday night was two absolute belters, with a game-winning try for the ages.
Manly kept their season alive just, and put the Dolphins in trouble
We beat the Titans, which isn't to be scoffed at given they have beaten us in like 6 of the last 7.
Eels upset the Roosters and gave hope to the chasing pack.
And then yesterday the Tigers scored the try of the year and were comfortable, only for the Cowboys to score 3 converted tries in 5 minutes to win.Raiders and Storm locked in as the top 2 and can now squad manage the last 2 rounds
Panthers v Dogs this weekend another big game, i think the effort to get the Panthers back in to the 8, combined with their run of hard games will mean they are too tired to win the comp. Bulldogs need to win, their form is ropey.
Broncos and Sharks are chasing our top 4 spot hard. We've got the Eels which isn't easy.Roosters have the Storm while the Phins and the Sea Eagles have easier games. 8th will probably go to the final round to decide.
-
That Tigers Cows game was a brilliant watch, hats off to both teams and both wont be playing finals footy, youd think they were they way they played. I'm no fan of Scott Drinkwater, but he really did carry the Cows home in that last quarter.

Scott Drinkwater
their best and worst player. Frustrating as hell.
-
oh and Des sacked.
-
heaps of rumours around that he had money problems at the Roosters, owing to the wrong guys. These are only rumours, but gee...
But the supply thing apparently was him offering to get some bags for Roosters players on a golf weekend.
-
lol okay i have read the over night stories and this is the biggest fucking beat up ever.
On June 7th some Roosters guys were on the Sunny Coast, and apparently Cheese was caught trying to hook them up with what must be his Qld guy. Supply? that's a long bow.
The gambling bit is even dumber, he apparently told the guy he was due to play Round 18. Round 18 was a fucking month away at that point.
Qld Police really nailing this. Especially because apparently there is a very valid defense that the charges are invalid because Cheese wasn't even in Qld when this happened (i am sure we have a Qld cop here who can clear this up for us)

Yeah, if this was a member of joe blow public it wouldn't even be a thing.
Although, I think there is a law on the books stating that they can prosecute out of state people who enable a crime in Qld.
-
the biggest implication could be at the Roosters. The names are some of the main ones
-
actually the biggest story today is Xavier Savage has cracked his shoulder and is done for the year. Massive loss for the Raiders
-
The way my foggy night work brain understands it - In no reference whatsoever to the case against Cheese, (I have no knowledge of it other than what has been reported) in Queensland, if a telecommunication device is used to commit a crime the alleged offence is deemed to have occurred in either place - ie where the message was sent from or where the message was received. In most cases where it was received seems to be used more often.
In regards to supplying a Dangerous Drug, merely giving your mate some weed is enough to be charged with Supplying. In theory, even passing the dutchie opens you up to a charge of supply (who hasn't done that?)
