I had $30 on Broncos at 13+ only just got there in the last minute.

How awesome was Taylor tonight? We needed that 6 weeks ago.

Didn't look to comfortable jumping for the ball for Prices 2nd try. "Here ya go steve, tries on me!"
Haha.

I'm looking for the tall stories that will come out of Price's second try. Although I hope Israel Folau is alright.

Folau out for eight weeks with a broken ankle!

Given that it's now July, that could be curtains for his season.

What a bitter, bitter blow.

Yeah, I only saw bits and pieces, but Hoffman seemed to go alright last night. It was really a six point game for us, with the bye and the Bunnies coming up.

Yeah, Falou out for 8 weeks is not good. At least on of those 8 weeks is a bye. Will give a chance for one of Yoh Yeh, Copley or Hoffman to get a run on the wing.

Also, poses some questions for Origin. They could move Tonga to his preferred left side and play him as a winger with Boyd outside Hodges. Or we could see Dell back on the wing for QLD. Now, that would be a turn up!

Would like to see Hunt start in, what well may be, his last Origin match.

Shunt Slats to the wing.

Draft whoever in to warm the bench.

In fact, Harrison can cover centre and pivot.

I would say Harrison is a doubt. He isn't playing for the Titans this week and he missed last week's game as well.

Only because of injuries can I see Hunt playing in Game III, otherwise they would have dropped him.

The more I look at this year, the more difficult I find it to come up with a real stand out side.

Dogs have been good but the draw's been awesome for them and they've barely had an injury.

Saints look good but I dunno whether they'll be held back come finals coz they're the Dragons, or excel coz they have Bennett.

Titans are there or there abouts, but can they go up a gear come finals?

Can Manly get far enough up the table to make an impact come finals time? They're relying on Kite up front ffs.

Cowboys seem to toss it in late most years, and Melbourne have lost the aura for mine, although they're obviously still a good side.

Newcastle can beat anyone but lack a lot of experience.

About the only thing I'm sure of is quote of the year. John Cartwright when Brad Myers got concussed - he went off the field and the trainer got on the phone and told Carty "he doesn't know who he is". "Good", said Carty. "Tell him he's Arthur Beetson and get him back out there". Myers returned, scored a try or two and got MOTM. Maybe there's a lesson there...

GOD ******* DAMN IT! I HATE BEN ******* ROGERS


If this ******* retarted, lazy oxygen thief ever comes within my throwing distance again then I'm getting the biggest, heaviest and pointiest rock I can find and aiming right for his ******* rounded ***** head. Every time he touches the ball I hope he gets injured, but no, all he can do is **** up another Knights attack or give away another penalty. Would take anybody (and I mean it) that is living and can stand under his own power over him.

Rant over.... until the next Knights loss.

Oh, and also pissed at the fact we can dominate for so long and lose in the last 4 minutes, damn Rogers and his inability to provide any attacking option.:dry:

Horrendous broken leg for Josh Carney there. If you catch the highlights, make sure you're not squeamish.
