**Official** NRL 2009 Thread

[Burgey]

I've changed my tip in light of the stomach-bug scandal now enveloping Qld.

Qld by 100.

 

[Simon]

I see a lot of you guys are backing the Bulldogs to win this week, I can't see it happening tbh. Morris might not back up because playing three games in seven days is extremly hard, Hannant would of had a hard game two nights before and our bench looks piss-weak.

And my prediction for tonight:

QLD 32
NSW 14

What about Thurston backing up and O'Donnell? Also Bowen still being injured. Cowboys wont beat Bulldogs.

 

[Craig]

Nah I'll have the Dogs this week. At worst they'll lose a forward and a centre (and I have my doubts on how much Morris will play tonight), while the Cowboys have a forward, centre and their halfback/best player/offensive linchpin playing. Thurston is far more important to the Cowboys than Hannant or Morris are to the Dogs, and therefore Origin is more likely to swing the odds towards the Dogs than away from them.

Not a foregone conclusion obviously like any game in the NRL.

BTW Craig you tipped both the Roosters and the Sharks.

I have edited my post FTR and have picked the Sharks.

 

[Son Of Coco]

What price on someone throwing up on the field tonight or breaking up a scrum with the green apple splatters?

 

[Craig]

Dallas Johnson still may not play.

 

[duffer]

Finding it difficult to support Trent Barrett tonight. Massive ****.

Almost want Queensland to win it because he's playing.

Really? What did he do? I'm hoping he has a blinder personally. Haven't seen him play this season so far so I don't know how feasible that is

Don't show us a picture of a NSWelshman in a Maroon jumper and call him potentially 'The Player of the Decade'. A bit of tact would be nice

More to do with the club he signed for tbh. ****face.

Ahhh ok

 

[Craig]

So how are you watching this Coco?

 

[Craig]

Stupid penalty given away.

 

[duffer]

Can't catch, can't pass, can't tackle. ****ing ****s.

 

[Craig]

Once again Greg Inglis scores. I guess there is a reason why Burgey hates Paul Gallen.

 

[Craig]

Can't catch, can't pass, can't tackle. ****ing ****s.

Or dumb ***** like Paul Gallen.

 

[Son Of Coco]

So how are you watching this Coco?

It's live on the Australian Channel here.

Good start here by NSW! I hope Gallen is apologising profusely as we speak. Given that he always does something ****ing stupid I don't understand the love for him.

 

[Craig]

Mind you it is good to Folau run with the ball instead of barging over with 2m out from the line.

 

[Craig]

Wolfman drops it on the first tackle.

NSW defence having NFI.

Just replayed the try. ****ing Kite is a useless ****. Just waved Inglis past.

Well done Thurston too as his first 3 tackles in the game were all flops worthy of a penalty.

Wow, great tackle Gidley there.

CIP when Inglis ran for about 30m.
