@bayimports Melbourne are starting to look ominous. Grant is scary good. The one-two punch with Smith is really good. Munster is like a new Wally Lewis. The Pap at the back is in the conversation for the best FB in the game right now. And as usual the pack is doing all the right things.

@mariner4life Papy is on an insanely good run right now (unlike Teddy whose major provider Keary is season ending), the obvious problem is by focusing on him, you take your eye of Munster and Hughes. On top of that Grant is now available who controls the game exceptionally and of course the other kiwis all grow an extra leg and Nelson, Bromwich X2 and the Cheese when playing the warriors. So yes even not playing us Melbourne look good, but playing us, we will be doing well to stay close.

How poor were the titans. Just no attacking threat.
Ash Taylor needs to go
-
Kevo Walters should be happy with the Broncos performance to push Penrith for most the game.
They look much better with Oats and without Milford.

Unsurprising....
That guys a psychopath

All the makings of a massive ANZAC upset or hiding!

The Cowboys obviously like sucking if the reports are true and they are going to offer Chad Townsend $2M over 3 years.

Do you think it could just be an attempt to put pressure on Reynolds to sign?, or perhaps Reynolds has said no unofficially? Clearly they are after somone to game manage as opposed to be chief creator.

nope... North Queensland have announced the signing of premiership-winning Sharks halfback Chad Townsend on a three-year deal starting in 2022.

Chad Townsend might be the greatest most improved award winner of all time. It was always the suckiest certificate to get at the end of year rugby awards but in his case I think it's well deserved.
My hatred of seeing his name on the starting sheet for the Warriors almost rivalled the hatred I felt seeing Kata's. He barely looked a 6th grade club player let alone a starting NRL player back then but he's gone on to have a decent career. He's never been stellar but he does a job.

fucking LOL at rugby league
Latrell Mitchell gets a month for being a filthy scumbag. Could have been 3 but he contested and lost. Tough shit get over it.
If you are his coach, a bunnies fan, or in the Sydney media, it's the biggest injustice in the history of the world.
Then you move to Radley not even getting a week for hitting Munster in the head. Terrible decision. In the mind of the Sydney media though it's okay because he hit a Storm player from Qld.

For me, I have no problem with Latrell, he lost the plot in that game and lashing out stupidly. What I cannot understand is how Radely doesnt get something similar. The media I think, believe head knocks are still nothing and weirdly seemingly promote that, for me an accidental or deliberate attack at the head needs to be removed consistently for the message to change. Neither the media or NRL seemingly understand this yet.

because the sydney NRL media are all giant fuckwits who all appear to have taken too many hits to the head.
Radley deserved a week for his coathanger. Kaufusi should have got more for his elbow.
The problem here isn't Latrell getting too many, the problem is others not getting enough.

It'll change once they're sued.

Sort of writing on the wall for this one when injuries in backline is heavy and Hayze doesnt even make the reserves. Warriors release Hayze Perham to join new NRL club (not sure who, but rumours it is also Parra).
Wouldnt be surpised if either Berry or Walsh sneak on to the bench for the game Sunday, since both named in extra reserves

Dull game last night. Pretty much one way traffic. Newcastle had a plan to just grind it out, try and keep it close, and hope someone (Ponga) pulled a rabbit out of the hat. And it didn't work, because of course it didn't.
Penrith just ran all over them. The difference in the speed of play from the two sides was remarkable, and the only reason the score was close was some incredible Knights scramble (especially Kurt Mann).
Ponga is a fucking gun by the way. The Cowboys letting him go is up there with the Tigers' inability to recognise talent.
The Panthers have a really fucking good team chock full of talent, they are kissed on the dick by the injury gods, and the refs are sweet on them too. It's a dangerous combination for basically everyone else. They didn't exactly have to do much last night though
