    @Nogusta yea, amazing how the Eels have recovered so quickly from their problems. Bet they learned a lesson...

    I fucking hate the Roosters, but they are looking very impressive. Once they learn to play for longer, they are going to be hard to stop.

    I reckon Panthers may just do enough to beat them this weekend. Could be an early preview for the GF

    @JK not sure what to make of the Panthers. Hammered by a shit team in round one, then hammered a half decent team in Round 2. Maybe the expectation got to them for the first game?

      Didnt read too much in to game 1 myself. Bet on Dragons to win it for a number of reasons. I thought Panthers were over rated (in betting market anyway) plus halves pairing still not over experienced. Still, their first up performance was more disappointing than I expected.

        Going to the Broncos V Storm tonight ,

        Usually these clashes are pretty intense with the coaches who dont get on , but , had no rain here for weeks , and its raining today

        Slaters first game for some time , his inclusion could be massive if he is anywhere near his best and stays fit , considering they made the GF last year without him

          Storm to win tonight and cover the line. Cant see Bronco's getting themselves up for it after last weeks mamoth effort. Plus storm at home for the first time this season. Expect a big performance.

            Would love to see Nelson Asofa-Solomona back in Union. Looks really destructive and has a good offloading game. Hopefully he sees the light and comes back.

              Tight game, the Bronco outside backs tackled like heroes all game and kept them in it.

              Strange game from the Melbourne attack really, seemed the whole plan was give it to Billy, and it nearly cost them.

              If you want a laugh find a page on Facebook called The Ankle Tapper, especially when Brisbane lose. It's canerbry-esque

                  Was a pretty good battle last night and a great kick to finish. That early broncos try really set up the game. Gave them a sniff and they almost took it!

                          I sometimes think they just make up rules as they go along.

                          Anyway, I turned over and watched at halftime in the Blues v Crusaders game and saw a try each and both teams looking cabbage. Lots of Graham bitching and moaning too but it's ok because he's PASSIONATE! OUR GAME!!!

                              Have been channel surfing between the rugby and the cricket + the Warriors... finally got that second try, and the Bulldogs fullback is playing with all the fear of being under an actual bomb at the back...

                              Ah fuck. And the Bulldogs score...

                                  Fuck i hate the Warriors. I hate how i invest time in them. I hate how it doesn't matter who is in the team or who is the coach, we suck. When is our upswing?

                                  Fucking Cronulla won a comp with grubs and ild blokes, we can't even win in NZ away from Mt Smart!

                                  In shory, burn the joint to the ground and start again. Somewhere else.

                                    • Be interesting if Foran gets onto the field. If he goes well maybe, just maybe, the Warriors think of Hingano/Foran in 2018.
                                    • To his credit, Johnson was trying along with Bodene Thompson, David Fusitua, Ryan Hoffman, Bunty Afoa and....

                                      Mannering is our best player by far in the first 3, followed by Lillyman.

                                          I used to call Mannering rugby league Reuben (ducks for cover in case Canerbry and Stargazer are lurking in the league thread) but he's clearly one of the best and most consistent Warriors around these days.
