    Just got home. If we get home, with all of the injuries, it will be extraordinary

      Fuck, Dolphins score seemingly from nothing. Fuck fuck fuck.

      Conversion misses.

      24-20, 4 to go.

      Probably 2, maybe 3 sets to hold them out.

            Damn, the Warriors are better with all the usual 1st graders out.

                We haven't really moved on the table though even with the two wins in the last two weeks. Strange.

                  Fuck. Looked up a result that showed the Wahs winning easy. Must have been a previous game... didnt realise it was ongoing and rather close ...

                    It is a bit.

                    Importantly, it keeps us in touch with the top 8 though.

                      A lot of teams have had a bye already and we get 2 points again next week for our first one. Normally I would also say looking forward to getting some players back for round 14, but the effort shown in the last two weeks by some of the young kids has been impressive.

                      It’s also taken SJ to get injured to help TMM find some much needed form.

                      Barney deserved a NSW call up, monster effort from the captain.

                      Can they continue this effort when players back? Anyway great win possibly bigger than last week with the amount of outs.

                      Hopefully AFB is in the sheds singing the song… fucki

                        TBH, I've thought the gameplan has been too focused on SJ and TMM has played within his shell. He replaced a running 6 and that's not his game, but with SJ there he didn't/couldn't/wasn't allowed to play his natural game. Hopefully him and SJ can work together moving forward.

                          yeah fully agree with that. TMM looks way better because rather than being the running foil for SJ (no longer his go) he is in charge.
                          That's another huge win, Webster coaching the house down, and has big decisions to make when some of the name players come back. We're younger and faster and playing more varied football.
                          I still don't see us making the 8, but who would know given the up and down nature of everyone not named Penrith

                            Weird round, a few pumpings and some weird results.

                            The Dogs flogged the Dragons, and made attacking look easy.
                            The Cowboys beat the Tigers easily, but still leaked 28 points to a poor attacking team. Scott Drinkwater is having an awful year and should be playing reserve grade (oh to think they chose him over Hammer)
                            Manly did unManly things and held off Melbourne. Melbourne were shit though.
                            The Roosters went to Canberra and flogged them. The Roosters are now the team i thought they were in march
                            Penrith took losing the Warriors personally, and took all that anger out on the top of the table side. The absolutely smashed Cronulla, and the Sharks are back to pretender status.
                            Des seems to be getting the Titans on board as well, they get better every week.

                            So Cronulla stay top, but no one considers them a threat any more.
                            Penrith are now 2nd, and seriously, who is stopping them winning a 4th straight? No one has worked out how to beat their linespeed, and they have attacking athletes everywhere. Brisbane did everything in that GF last year and still lost. They continue to lose players, and yet their standards are still the highest in the comp. When the whips are cracking in September i don't know who beats them.
                            Melbourne will finish top 4, but their spine players just can't stay fit.
                            The Roosters look the biggest danger, but only a week ago lost to the Sharks.
                            Everyone else is much of a muchness.

                              Origin teams are coming out.

                              NSW have had a complete overhaul. Teddy is gone.
                              Sua'ali'i gets a centre spot. Zac Lomax gets a jersey!
                              Nicho Hynes gets picked even with a dodgy calf
                              Jurbo skipper.
                              Cam McInnis the lock!
                              Interesting bench, interesting emergencies.
                              Mitch Barnett gets a squad spot

                                Reece Walsh holds the 1 jersey despite a shithouse year
                                Dearden gets a justified 6 jumper
                                Cotter will play prop
                                Slater picks the 1/2 hooker combo of Hunt and Grant
                                What the fuck? Jaydn Su'A over David Fifita????

                                Hopgood on the bench? Cobbo on the bench??

                                This is some cooked shit Billy

                                  Cobbo on the bench and Fafita completely missing out is interesting one. I can understand some of the other ones, but no DFafita? wow. Sua is in the best form of his career currently, albeit at the dragons, I wouldn't have picked him ahead of Fafita though

                                  Hopgood is a tacklebot, ironically the only one making them for Parramatta

                                    @mariner4life Big bench in size except for McInnes (but he makes 50 tackles a game), clearly going for more of a hard edge, but won't have the same speedy little guys that Qld will

                                      2024 rugby league is all about footspeed in teh middle. And SoO is faster than NRL, so Slater obviously has a way he wants to play. Looks like Madge does as well, should be fun.

                                      I still can't wrap my head around not picking the most dangerous edge forward in teh game. Fifita and Nanai on either side is a nightmare to defend.

                                      I wonder if Cobbo is there because Billy has seen what happens to an edge if you lose a back during the game?

                                        I suspect that is the reason for Cobbo, plays wing, fullback and centre with ease and probably even though unconventional five eight at a pinch. Will add impact wherever he goes
