@jk That's why salary-cap competitions are the best.

There is also an outside chance that all top 8 teams could finish with the same points (32).

Gutted we lost but I still thought we were decent.

Blake’s 5th tackle kick that the Bulldogs took on the full in the ingoal was a coach killer.

Don't want to watch the replay (even though it was a good game) but can't remember that one. The real coach killer was Kata's poor defence at the end of the second half which led to a Bulldogs try. I'm struggling to see what Kearney thinks Kata can become, especially when Hiku and Beale are probably our best centre combo.

Why do I want the Warriors to win but then take perverse pleasure in them losing? I think it's the fan base ... not you sneak but the "keep the faith, we're bigger the the All Blacks, logue us the greatest game of all" mob, and the disproportionate coverage they get.

Anyways pops. And take that. At the same time.

Gee thanks for the somewhat backhanded compliment. Just PM me your family address so I can send you that thank you bomb you've been so wanting.

27-26 Bulldogs.

Bulldogs played their best game of the season but still....cunts.

The Wests Tigers dropped their game against St George 20-10 so that means if the Warriors get a win today against the Bulldogs they confirm a spot in the NRL playoffs (Wests can only get to 28 points now if they win out). The Warriors are going with the same side that won against Newcastle last week.

The Meg - It's a shark movie that's not good and I kept wanting to tell it to shut up but it has some silly moments that are funny and Jason Statham is a good action hero. Also the kid actors in it are cute, Ruby Rose is hot for a lesbian and Rainn Wilson can't really act. 4/10

Apparently Trent Barrett has finally decided to quit as coach of Manly after months of threatening to quit. Geoff Toovey is shaping up as the likely replacement (they probably should have never fired him to begin with).

Some preseason tidbits:

The 49ers have signed RB Alfred Morris. Morris knows Shanahan's system and the 49ers have injuries to their two starting RBs.

Also QB Chad Kelly, nephew of former Bills QB Jim Kelly, has climbed to the back up role behind Case Keenum at the Denver Broncos. He's passed Paxton Lynch who was suppose to be the next great Denver QB but is a bit shit.

Don't really post to this thread but RIP Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, part of one of the greatest tag teams ever.

The dragons are in free fall

They've run out of puff again in the home straight. Cannon fodder in the playoffs.
