I'm guessing you're basing that on Zillman's game in week 1, which was his only really good performance all year tbf.

How was that interview? There's been no love lost there in the past, but I sus[ect they have a grudging respect for one another.

I might have missed it, out of interest, who do you support?

Canberra, but I watch most games during the season. Don't have anything against Zillman, in fact I loved seeing him playing brilliantly in week one of the finals, but I'm doubting more and more that he will ever be a force in the NRL like he promised to be several seasons ago.

Sounds like the Titans were really there to be beaten tonight. I don't think the Roosters next opponent will fall over the way their last two have done.
Gotta say looking forward to an all Sydney GF for once. Don't really like any of the teams left though. Saints probably the lesser of three evils, though really the only thing I have against the Tigers is the huge amount of hype surrounding them. As long as the Rooters don't take it out I won't complain.

Whilst I get agree that the Benji hype is somewhat over the top, I honestly couldn't think of a "star" in the NRL who they should be hyping up less (if that makes sense?). From all i've ever noticed, he actually comes across as a reasonably humble/genuinely good guy. Quite unlike the likes of Thurston/Hayne/Slater etc. who seemingly have no redeeming features about them other than the fact that they're quite good rugby league players imo.

It's not just Benji himself, it's the Tigers in general. They've been hyped up to be this super team when they're not playing very well at all. It's less pronounced this year because they're actually going reasonably well, but they were getting the commentary love for being flashy when nothing was coming off but they were grinding out 16-14s (which is a redeeming quality all of its own). But even when they've been a butter soft spineless rabble in the past few years it's all been about how flashy they are and how they can win a game from anywhere.
Hate sport commentary. Ironic eh?

Was at the woosters titans game tonight...decent atmosphere but was amazed by the number of walkouts with 10 minutes to go...ftr this is my first league game in about 10 years where I've actually gone to the game, was good fun and all but i spent most of the time just catching up with my mates then actually watching the game...was pretty lacklustre spectacle all in all tbh. COurse this is all from my perspective, but yeah, found it quite meh tonight.

Even being on the losing end I thought the Panthers/Raiders game was a fantastic game of footy.
