It's going to take time to get used to not seeing Folau there, but all is not lost. This happens to Melbourne every year, so they'll be right.

That was the most terrible period of extra time by the Drags. Why on Earth Hornby took on a 55m drop-goal attempt then blatantly leg-pulled Quinn I'll never know.
Yeah, not what one would call a captain's knock. It was such a terrible leg-pull too - he was sitting on the turf cross-legged and appeared to think "nah, no one will be looking, I'll give it a crack".

:wub: at Greg Inglis
seconded. Sometimes I question my ***uality when the big GI is on the march.

Think that his casting aside of Soward goes right up there with the best plays of recent years (a list dominated by Inglis anyway). I've never seen someone pick up and throw another, with their chest. Audacious. Powerful. Brutal.

Doesn't surprise me at all that Manly have lost tonight what with all the things that have happened there in the past couple of days/weeks

Very similar performance today compared to 12 months ago against the Sharks. Never really got going. Will be interesting to see how the Bulldogs back up next round. They look a lot better on paper this season and a lot more balanced.

For us I think the losses of Bell, Menzies and Bryant and Williamson will hurt a lot more then we think. Also got a few fringe players out in Bani and Williams. To add to having Stewart out.

Bani played last night tbh, and he's exactly that, a fringe player.

Was thinking of the other Tony Williams, too many Williams. Though Wolfman isn't a fringe player. Bani does have the potential to be a first team player, just needs to learn how to position himself better in defence. Though Tony Williams isn't a lot better on the wing in defence.

Polar opposite. Haven't been this excited about a season in a very long time. I guess with a lot of changes at the Broncos it gives a sense of excitement on how things will go.

Just really looking forward to seeing how Raiders are going to go.
