    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.

              NRL player involved with organised crime?

                I like Hasler; but he was never going to be the right fit at the Titans. Thought Holbrook was actually doing ok, all considered, at the time they flicked him.

                And never had Smith down as a Johnny Elias type.

                  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?)

                                but based on that i wonder what the defense they are so confident of is?

                                    Seems like a storm in a tea cup. I think I would be more concerned with outright tanking with Penrith set to name juniors in first grade, up to 16 changes potentially

                                        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?)

                                        As a copper/ex copper do you think any non "celebrity" would be getting charged for this? If there were messages from me on that phone trying to hook my Brisbane based cousins up I highly doubt I'd be facing any charges.

                                        (For full disclosure I have no idea how to get coke in either Sydney or Brisbane/Coasts πŸ™‚ ).

                                        I think there is a good chance they would be getting charged, if not drug diverted ( depending on the offence). Cops tend to be more willing to take action with drug offences because the Drug Misuse Act provides police with protection from having costs awarded against them for failed prosecutions.

                                          Really? I'd have thought that the dealer would be the guy they were going after and wouldn't bother with me sending a group text to hook my cousins up.
