Anyway with no real footy on today, I decided to watch some RL, looks like a game of touch at the moment

Melbourne v Central Coast starts soon...

Football = the only real footy. The rest are just handball/footy codes.

Fearless predictions for this week guys?

(Please bear in mind Thurston in doubt due to judiciary appointment).

Still think Manly will get the Cowboys even if JT plays- just running out of forwards and that will count against Manly, despite Manly's form leading in not being that great.

Melbourne should beat Parra, as much as it hurts me to say it as a Parra fan. The way I see it, we have three things going for us:
1. It isn't at Olympic Park.
2. We aren't expected to win - when we are, we lose.
3. Melbourne have gone 50-0, 40-0, bye. They haven't had much hard footy of late.

None of this will matter if Melbourne are at their best though.

Thoughts?

Still upset that Brisbane won last year, Melbourne a cert.

I'm tipping Parramatta to beat Melbourne.

I can't see it, in fact no chance imho, I only wish I was as sure the sun was going to rise tomorrow, I would sleep like a baby

Anyway what happened to the NRL/AFL thread?

Broncos were knocked out and I lost interest.

Haha, typical.

Anyways, does anyone else find Danny Weidler's habit of including himself in the camera shot when interviewing other people immensely irritating? One of those breed of "investigative reporters" who try and make their ability to break stories more important than the actual breaking of stories itself.

Fatty, in his own inimitable terms, is goooooooooooorne: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22457409-2,00.html

$500 000 / year to host that rubbish. No wonder he's grinning like a split watermelon in the photo!

 

[bugssy]

Would be sad to see Fatty go, he's been the heart and soul of that show for so long. Still, doesn't really surprise me.

Damn Manly!

 

[alternative]

So happy that Manly won tonight.

 

[steds]

Jamie Lyon to win the Grand Final single handed.

 

[Johnners]

He'd need a big improvement from tonights performance to even go close.

 

[alternative]

Awta.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Manly wont make the GF, too many injuries at the wrong part of the season.

Shocker of a call.

 

[chaminda_00]

Wish we lost TBH.
