From the recruitment/player retention; to the binge drinking during finals last year; to the total lack of pride in defence, to the insipid Bruno Cullen, the Broncos culture is in tatters.

Have a dig FFS.

Realise I'm late on this, but the Broncs, man. What's going on there? Raiders always a better side in Canberra, but an unanswered half-century? Shocker.

We are playing with no heart. Our defensive structure is hopeless.

I've actually typed and re-typed what I was going to say about 5 times but I'm just too annoyed and don't know how to put the Broncos performances into words.

2/7. Gunning it.

Broncos only have themselves to blame. Buying Israel Falou with half the salary cap meant they would lose some quality players, and have to use some **** ones. Good to see.

Close game. Warriors just shaded it for mine. Seemed to make a tiny bit more ground than Penrith.

Briefly read an article in today's paper and they quoted Steve Walters and Greg Dowling and they both said Karmichael Hunt should be dropped to QLD Cup as it is giving free advertising to the AFL and that Hunt is not going to give the Broncos 100% because he is leaving and that he heas other things on his mind. Not going to happen though.

A mate of mine who is a bit like Jack, AFL is his number 1 sport but has an interest in league has often asked me why don't NRL clubs go after AFL juniors in the same way the AFL has gone after basketballers (I think Dean Brogan is a prim example?).

Pretty lacklustre round of tipping, with only Ausage rising above 50% with 5. The rest sat on either 3 or 4, with a couple only just managing 2. NUFAN was one of those only getting 2 leaving myself clear at the top by a full point, whilst Simon continued his freefall with only 2 again leaving him equal last with McPinch.

Why couldn't this have happened a week before I left?!?!?! Got alot of Warriors mates would have been great to watch that live.

Or at least I think it would have been. Can't find a video of even the highlights in the US :@

Nope. Clicking on any video there sends me to a site where I have to pay. The mini-video highlights on Foxsports.com.au don't show up either. Oh well.

Penrith v St George
Melbourne v North Queensland
Manly v Souths
Canterbury v Canberra
New Zealand v Gold Coast (would love to see the Warriors get up here though)
Easts v Wests
Parramatta v Newcastle
