Round Three Update

The Warriors getting up spoils a week for the favourites against the underdogs. It means at least one of the Bench's Hail Marys finds its target & also that Ausage manages a full house; bravura punting.

Less good is Kyle's somewhat humiliating zip, a fate shared with the non-submitting dav and Johnners.

Weekly

Ausage 16
Vimes 12
howard 12
morgie 12
Somers 12
bi 12
altoz 12
ripper 8
Burgey 8
Jono 8
Brumby 8
benchy 8
Wright 0
Johnners 0
SKD 0

Sixteen and a weekly bonus lifts Aussers to the summit going into the Grand Finals. Four just a point further behind.

[Burgey]

Geelong

Principally because Maguire, in addition to being a massive wanker, is also a hypocrite

And the Warriors.

ABM clearly applying here.

 

[Jono]

Geelong

Doing so well without tipping NRL

 

[Ausage]

Doing so well without tipping NRL

You should be more open minded.... like me.

So what's the etiquette here? Do I tip first? Wait for the rest then tip Sunday morning? Don't mind either way.

 

[Burgey]

Geelong

Doing so well without tipping NRL

You should tip anyway.

I mean, you talk about cricket, and you know **** all about that too.

 

[Jono]

You should be more open minded.... like me.

I don't have anything against NRL, but I really have no idea about the sport. I only just found out in the last few weeks that there was a team from New Zealand

I'm sure that'll change in a week when I permanently move to Sydney.

Scratch that, I do know one thing. The NRL has without a doubt the dumbest CEO in Australian sporting history.

Now there's a sentiment we can all raise our glasses to.

Though I'd probably go with corrupt and spineless rather than stupid. I'll always see News Limited when I look at him.

 

[Ausage]

I get the sense I'm holding things up here.

Collingwood
Manly (sadly )

 

[Jono]

Geelong to do what the Hawks couldn't.
