I did miss the start of the game. Other shit to attend to, funnily enough. Which is pretty much exactly why they should be wearing black at bands as they're a constant show of respect obvious to whomever tunes in, whenever.

Did all their black arm bands fall off?

Anyone care to bet when (not if) we'll see Jordan, Bridge and Ennor together in an ABs backline?

The Dogs are shit and we don't matter. Perfect.

That could easily be it. Shuffle the worst Sydney team off to Auckland for the weekend. Outta sight, outta mind.

I'm curious about the opening round match ups, and what they say about the clubs involved. Roosters VS Rabbitohs, Panthers VS Eels, Tigers VS Sea Eagles and Broncos VS Storm are all known rivalries What's the full draw? Have the NRL pitched the Dogs up against the Warriors because they see this as a battle of two low-brow / lower socio-economic (predominant Bankstown and South Auckland supporter bases), even dare I say 'ethnic' based clubs??
