That's some scoreline, Northies will be pumping tonight.

 

[Coronis]

Now the Sharks decide not to be ****…

Or is it Tigers just resuming normal programming?

Looks like a good career move for Luai

 

[ashley bach]

Sharks going better without Nicho is a bit like the Wahs going better without SJ.
Having said that though pretty sure he'll be back whereas it's hard to see SJ ever returning to anything close to his best.

Could be a cricket score tonight if Parra don't pull their heads together.

Well, at least it wasn't that bad. Scoreline makes it look a lot closer than it was though.

Yeah wouldn't say they were good but they pulled together in D and did well to concede only one try in the last 60 mins

Yeah a definite step up from some games where we have fallen apart in the second half. It's a 'take the positives' kind of thing for us at the moment.

Looks like September 6th(final round) could be a big game against the Tigers in a mad scramble to avoid the spoon.

I'll definitely be trying the reverse jinx in the tipping comp for that one.

Giving up 18-0 is ****ing woeful against that outfit. Embarrassing.

Not as embarrassing as Brisbane at home though. I exclusively predicted at the start of the year they would miss the eight and it looks like I’ll be vindicated

Titans have actually been playing quite well recently

Last year they would have thrown that game away

 

[Kraken]

Nice to see we beat the Broncos, but **** we made it way closer than it should’ve been. Very nervy last 10

Nothing makes me happier than seeing the broncos lose, especially after Mam and Walters were being Uber grubs to Sloan all night

 

[Son Of Coco]

So sad for my Broncs. Woe is them.


To put how bad they are in perspective - they are kissed on the dick with match scheduling and have even jagged 2 byes during the origin period, and they are still 13th.

It's glorious.

Does anyone think that Kevvy is actually a good coach?

He was pretty underwhelming in Origin and has been for the Broncos apart from last year when he had a bunch of really talented players performing

I think he is probably very average.

Alfie has to shoulder part of the blame too. He's on the field for about 74 minutes every match, so surely he could come up with something decent while he's out there.

 

[Shady Slim]

you feel it in your bones. game three at the hallowed turf of lang park. has there ever been a challenge more storied, more insurmountable, than this?
you think of maroons legends of days since past. wally lewis, the king.
alfie langer the little master
locky, jt and the big three
and who could forget the mighty GI
they coarse through the old warhorse dce who leads out his men in maroon for what might be the last time
facing them is this young blues team on a high from running roughshod over their opposite number back at stadium australia in a drubbing only three weeks ago. they have the momentum, but is it enough for them to breach this brisbane fortress?
this is not rugby league ladies and gentlemen nor is it war. this is much more than that. this is… THE DECIDER.
NOW BACK TO YOU RABS

 

[ashley bach]

It's not the same without Rabs

 

[Son Of Coco]

Going to be an interesting game tonight. Completely different up at Two Teeth Stadium, especially when the refs get a little bit giddy and start flirting with QLD via the penalty count.

Hopefully we stuff them, but they were offside all night in Melbourne, so they're going to be standing about a metre back tonight.

Look for QLD to be marched up the field at a crucial moment if it is close.

 

[Son Of Coco]

I was hoping for the anthem played on the spoons tonight, but it looks like we have the traditional version.
