Watch the Pinot nwahs leave
A couple of losses, and rain and cold in May ...
... I'd give them another week ...
... but the bandwagon is fun while it's going your way

interesting week, with probably the biggest talking point isn't necessarily the results but the injuries to key players in many teams. Probably Reynolds in game impacted a result, but others likely to have an impact on their seasons. Roosters were very good again and took advantage of the injury. Papi out for Storm could be big though in their future.
Some terrible performances mixed with some big ones as well.
Warriors, Newcastle, Tigers and Dogs were all awful with winners not actually looking like winners.
Who predicted Canberra coming back from 20 points down at Manly? Phins up away at the Cowboys?
Penrith march on -
Manly are equal parts awesome and awful in every game they play. And it is costing them.
I think the contenders are Penrith.
And maybe behind them with huge question marks are:
Can Brisbane stay fit enough? Also can someone get Walsh to pull his fucking head in?
Are the Roosters really suddenly good with the same side that was dogshit prior to ANZAC day?
Melbourne have some awesome players but they are feeling a bit moneyball which means they won't big finals.
Cronulla have now proven they can win playing rubbish which is what good teams do.Every other team are various shades of shit. It is a very even comp.

oh good, we are so fucked
We're playing the Roosters, who are suddenly up and about. Our form is absolute dogshit, and we couldn't score in a brothel with hundred dollar notes tied to our cocks
And so the troops to rescue us:
Fucking Jazz Tevaga, captain dick fingers, die with the ball himself.And that is it. TMM keeps his spot, somehow. He must be well rested, given he did approximately fuck all on the weekend. Our glacially slow attack is all there (though Capewell not being there probably increases the overall speed to "walk")
Doooooomed

I hate it when I cant disagree with any point lol, apparently we have ot wait until round 14 before any decent cavalry in Nuikore come back.
Capewell looking like a suspect buy at this stage (and I don't think anyone on this board thought he was going to be a success)..imagine if they had funds for a gun second rower now..some real stars on the market -
Fifita confirmed he won't be at the Titans .. so a two horse race between Roosters and Panthers
Roosters likely ahead since his partner Shaylee Bent is joining their NRLW side from 2025
-
well, i for one am glad to see that a couple of the real battlers of the comp have a chance to sign the best left backrower in the comp.
-
@mariner4life true, but Im sure if he wanted a battler club he would stay at the Titans. However in saying that what I also find interesting is that Souths not mentioned, if they seriously did not try and make a pitch..wow
Unless like Parra they are trying to pitch for Angus Crichton and I guess if Fafita does sign with the Roosters then probably unlikely to retain him
-
Souths need Crichton more than they need Fifita. Fifita is the sauce, Souths need the steak.
-
Souths need front rowers/hard hitting 2nd rowers more than ball playing 2nd rowers which they have plenty of currently.
-
they do but Fafita is bigger than most FRF which is why he could have been an asset in my mind
-
Roosters win
-
because of course they fucking do
-
-
Unfortunately normal service resumes for the Warriors.
Missed tackles, dropped passes, set re starts, Roosters rampant. This is going to be a blood bath.
In the space of 5 weeks the Warriors have gone from respected premiership contenders to the laughing stock of the NRL
