Some tough games there. The Broncos and Titans game is a tough one, but I back Brisbane because it is at home. Sea Eagles and Eels could go either way, just depending which Parra team turn up, the one that wants to play good footy or the one that shows up and everyone looks like they never played together before, let alone a game footy before. Tigers and Rabbitohs is another toughie as either team could win, depending which team turned up. Same with Penrith and Sharks.

Only feal confident in the Warriors, Dragons and Storm.

Think the Titans might struggle tonight, as good as Prince is your halfback needs go forward and with both Bailey and Laffranchi out I reckon Prince wont have as much room and time as he normally does.

 

[howardj]

Brisbane by a million tonight!

EZ

 

[Johnners]

Yeah can't see the Titans getting up. Missing 3 of their forward pack (including Cannings, even if he isn't as much of a loss as Laffranchi/Baily) will make it a huge task.

 

[Burgey]

Commentators banging on about how great canterbury's defence is, but until Weyman's effort there Saints haven't asked a lot of questions.

Shocking decision to deny Bulldogs the game tonight. Probably in thetop 5 worst decisions ive seen in a game of rugby league in my life.

 

[Howsie]

What a load of bull**** that decision was, we were robbed so badly. What was Eastwood suppose to do, just disapear?

That is the worst decision ever, I was hoping the bulldog fans were going to storm the field. Steven Clarke is a joke.


By the way how good was Jamal Idris, great game by the youngster.

 

[luffy]

Worst decision ever.

Hate the Bulldogs, but if Soward was impeded, well, really every try there is a defender that is impeded.

 

[Johnners]

Nah great decision, I tipped the Dragons y'see

 

[James90]

Tipped the Dogs and had some money on them. Dire.

This I have a problem with. All night they are saying "Sportsbet bet responsibly" but how the hell are you meant to when your team doesn't win because of some idiot in the box.

 

[Mister Wright]

With Clap. Tipped the Dragons, so I wasn't all that unhappy with the decision.

Was a great game at Suncorp last night, and was stoked when Parker nailed the last conversion as it made it a 13+ score line.

Btw, how good is Izzy? Wonderful player!

 

[Craig]

How good was Kevin 'Flash' Gordon's try last night? Made Hunt look like an amatuer.

Decision was an aboslute 'mare though.

Falou would still want a fair few more games like that to justify his price tag.

 

[Mister Wright]

Reckon he has already imo. We've got the strongest wing combination we've had in a very long time since Sailor and Lote. He's close to a dead cert for first try scorer every game, and he does a lot of work of the wing which is the best thing for us.

 

[Johnners]

He's still a winger though. Even in modern league when the wingers do more work than previous, it's still excessive imo. Would make the Broncs backline so much better if he was in the centres, Wallace can still bomb it to him there....

 

[luffy]

Why move a player after scoring 4 tries?

 

[chaminda_00]

I have heard a bit of talk on the radio about guys comparing Falou to great wingers in the game like Irvine, Beven, Dally and more modern blokes the Guru, Sticky. But the question I have is how can you rate modern players in general when most are useless on the non preferred side of the field. I remember that SOO when he played on the other side and he looked completely useless. I would rate someone like Matt Sing above Falou as he had more versility. One trick pony for mine, though he is brillant at that one trick.

Or am I being to critical and you should take into account that the way the modern game is played and they adapted (over adapted) their game to it.
