How good were Penrith last night!? They can thank me for finally getting around to tipping the Broncos, thus making it a foregone conclusion that they'd win. Wonder where that sort of form has been this year?

Cheers mate. :) Put some money on the Tigers next week imo.

Yeah that was really awesome. Lewis is such a huge player for us but absolutely everyone was amazing. Even Turtell put in a pretty solid shift.

Really hope Gordon's injury isn't too serious. He's absolutely amazing and has only been getting better. Best fullback in the comp atm, it would be cruel if he got rubbed out for a year due to his knee.

Reckon Brisbane looked tired last night. They've had a great start but I'm not sure the young guns have the stamina to maintain it through the year, especially when their best players are out for Origin.

Hopoate to quit NRL for religion | NRL, Rugby League, NRL Scores, NRL Ladder | Fox Sports

Words cannot describe how disappointing/pathetic I find a number of the readers comments. Although I've come to realize that the fox sports comments section is at times no better than that which you'd see on youtube....
Jesus. I assume this means Will's old man was a Mormon too, as the article says he was raised in the faith.

John Hopoate might come across as many things, but religious isn't high on the list. I always have grave doubts about slightly culty religions like the Latter Day Saints, but I'm pretty sure Mormonism doesn't condone Hopo senior's preferred tackling technique either.

I dunno, John spent a fair bit of time knocking on (back) doors and being unreasonably intrusive. Sounds like he was just doing his bit for the Mormon cause to me.

No worries mate, I'll use Gordon's injury as justification to tip the Tigers next week and hope that gets you guys home. Gordon's from my neck of the woods actually, I think he played junior league at Bilambil, which is where I played cricket for a while.

Anthony Watts is from the same spot, I remember seeing him playing cricket when he was a little bloke. Was a midget when he was 11 or 12, but good at cricket. He was probably pulling girls hair then, but I don't think he was belting the **** out of them.

My flatmate is a huge Wests Tigers fan and if I had a dollar for everytime he's called all the South's players and the ref a **** in the last five minutes...
