Knights never had a chance without johns, it just shows now, after their great start joey misses 2 games and they could be as low as 5th after this weekend...

What I want to know is do Brisbane completely ignore those running around for Norths in the Queensland Cup. Seeing the likes of Greg Inglis being one of the form players this season and had the Broncos being paying attention they could have snapped him up before Melbourne did.

You snooze you lose.

Isn't Norths, Melbourne filter club, so wasn't it more they recruited them before Brisbane.

Manly won easy, Bulldogs are proving to be one of the hardest teams to tip this season...

Manly were pretty easy to tip before this game, i thought we might struggle without Stewart. But Stephenson and Matai played pretty well to go with the consistent games of Bell and Hicks. Orford probably had his best games in Manly colours since he came back, which is a good sign. Oh well i didn't tip them, but i got some bragging rights over some of my school mates, three of them support the Dogs. :D

Matai had a poor game, gave away 2 or 3 stupid penalties, quite honestly hes a muppet...

I agree he is useless... but he has been on fire the last couple of weeks. His defence today was very good and last week he was Manly's best.

You know what is really funny, in the local paper they were saying his a chance of playing for NZ. I nearly fell off my chair when i read it. He a good defender and seems to find a way across the try line, i don't know how though his nothing special in attack. I guess he knows how to be in the right place at the right time.

I think he is adequate in attack. Nothing special but he has a decent step and can beat defenders. His pace is ok however it is his discipline and his errors that let him down. There is no way he should make the kiwis. Whatuira and Hape are ahead of him as is Toopi.

I was impressed with Tame today. He had a good defensive game other than that bomb in the first half that he let bounce instead of catching it on the full.

Hodges is in freakish form. It will be so funny if the AUS selectors pick Cooper over him.

They will probably we both in the side, once Gasiner moves to rugby.

I would say Gasnier will play in the upcoming test though...
Regardless Hodges should atleast be picked on the wing. But Tahu was quite good on Sunday and im not sure whats going on with Matt Sing, i read that his can play Orgin this season, but has retired from Australia or something. But you would think he would come under the same rules that apply to Johns and BK.

Dragons team looking good for Anzac Day. From what I've heard Bailey should be playing, leaving us with a full strength backline and only Young, Payne, and Isemonger missing from the forward pack.

Going out to the match, first one this season. Cannot wait.

Hodges has to be in the centres for Australia on May 5, if hes not it will be a disgrace, his form is so good its frightening...
