2/2 this weekend, first time this season ive tipped both friday winners...

good to see souths thrashed, brings em back down to earth, they arent that good as we saw tonight, they beat three of the worst teams in the comp to start the season and they finally come up against a decent side and they were no match for the dogs...

what, you mean it wasn't rigged?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Oh snap.

Two pretty easy picks mate

Yeah, worst site for loading, but since Sky lost the NRL rights over here it's the only chance I get to see any games.

Not into your NRL enough to splash out on a Setanta subscription, Brumby? Heard this week that their coverage ****s all over what Sky's were.

 

[Simon]

no, i just worked out who the NRL wanted to win and went with it, Roosters will win next week, looks bad for the NRL to have a team go winless for this long, also dont be surprised to see the joeyless Knights knock off the Storm...

shh James, you're ruining it for me...

Why do you even follow the NRL? Going by your logic, you're simply following what the script-writers are coming up with, so why the hell bother? If I was stupid enough to think the NRL was rigged, I certainly wouldn't bother following it anymore.

i still hold out hope im wrong, but it's tough sometimes...

Good to see the Bronco's getting a win, will be hoping for more from them as the season progresses.

That will of course depend on the script-writers you realise?

Why wouldn't they have given the Roosters the win last week then? They would have known that two would-be-winless sides were playing this week, so they could have given everyone a win by Round if the Roosters beat Manly last week....

Oh, of course. The Bronco's won't win a game another game for 10 rounds, and then proceed to thump all comers by 30 points.

 

[Simon]

look, my theory isnt based on every single game going to a "script" as such, more of just a directive to refs and so on so keep games close etc...

Can't really justify it. Already pay £37 a month for Sky & Setanta would be another £10.99 (I think) on top of that.

 

[Perm]

stify is banned by the filter? Very interesting.

Anyway, am looking forward to a big game by Thurston tonight.

EDIT: Apparently not, although it was in BB's post.

If it were rigged then why hasn't St George won the Premiership yet?

Disappointing for the Warriors today, although I was stoked about the Cowboys game last night. Am thoroughly looking forward to the ANZAC Test, it will be a special occasion.

Still looking forward to it, even if the contest itself isn't that close. Will be interesting to see how many injuries and suspensions are dished out in the couple of weeks before the game, that usually kills our chances.
