How good's Chris Flannery, btw?

He's clearly very, very straight, the boy. According to report in Guardian:

http://sport.guardian.co.uk/rugbyleague/story/0,,2103638,00.html

he's "a tough Australian forward who once played almost a full match with a ruptured testicle"

Nearly felt as quesy after reading that as when the very recently post-op transsexual I was interviewing last week kept, er, adjusting her personal area.

I have a question Brumby: Why were you interviewing very recently post-op transsexual?

Call it a hobby.

Nah, it's my job, unfortunately. She was looking to claim benefit becuase of her incapacity.

Nope. Imagine a more manly Ian Bell with a dyed red bob.

Great to wake up to 2/2 NRL tips. First time this season, I think!

Anyway, here's supercoach Bennett's origin assessment.

Also, the Broncs have lost Civoniceva.

I can't believe Ben Ross earns 400k a year. Yep wise investment by Cronulla.

Storm are killing the Cowboys right now. Haha 40 points in 40 mins. Awesome stuff

Make that 52 after 52 minutes. I thought the Cowboys were supposed to be quite good ??

It's one thing to play that bad against the Roosters with the Origin players missing, but this effort, I assume Thurston didn't play?

nah, he's playing

 

[alternative]

He is playing, but thurston is quite clueless himself.

Thurston can't do all the defending tbh, worst defence ever...especially from Ashley "I miss tackles" Graham

I don't think you can blame 1 or 2 guys for a 50 point thumping though

 

[Perm]

Wow, average stuff from the Cowboys. I expect more from them TBH.

nah you can't, more or less pointing out that even a player of Thurston's capabilities was never going to be able to change the outcome of this match given the dire effort from pretty much the rest of his team.

yeah, totally agree

Wow, can Melbourne hit 60 from here, have plenty of time to do so. Anf if the Titans win tomorrow then Melbourne and Manly will take an 8 point lead over 3rd spot. I'll stick my neck out and say Storm and Sea Eagles - potential grand finalists?
