I thought that last week when I saw him run in another brace v The Raiders. Parra running into a bit of form from somewhere, I suspect they've left it too late for the 8 tho. Tim Smith finally getting his head out of his backside must've helped.

hes out for the year now, any small chance parra had is gone...

Reckon he'll go ok, myself. Think he'd be slightly wasted on the wing tho, doesn't quite have the gas for mine & possibly won't see enough ball.

I'll miss Mr Wright's annual clamour for his inclusion in QLD's Origin team tho....

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah I saw it on the Footy Show last night. Sad sad day.

Drug cheat, good riddance ...

We will know on Monday which club Nate Myles will be playing for. Intrestingly enough, after his bomb joke to Hazam El Masri, some people have written (rather SMS into the SMS section) into the letters section of the local paper - The Gold Coast Bulletin (Darren Lockyer used to write a coloumn [sic] for it, as did Andrew Gee, and Mark Coyne writes one each Monday) - they don't him to join as he will give the Titans a bad name already, I mean one journalist in the paper gave Brian Carney a rollocking after he was involved in a incident in a Newcastle pub, when he was with Matt Johns after his first grade debut for the Knights.

Steve Clark = ****wit.

Haven't seen the game yet, but v bad news for St George's Premier aspirations. Think The Dogs' pack is going to monster everyone now.

St George had won 8 in a row, it was their turn to lose, the NRL cant have teams dominating now. Melbourne will lose a couple of games they would be expected to win soon and then everyone at the top will be nice and close again...

It hasn't ruined our chances at all, we actually played very well. I just can't believe how Clark allowed the Dogs to get up so early and be in front of him from the very start of the match. They got away with it the whole match and with their forward pack and defensive structure that was always going to play into their hands.

I didn't say it had ruined them, TBF. I haven't even seen the game yet, as I said. I just thought was just the sort of game a team looking to be Premiers should be winning. Both teams will be top 4 anyway, so it probably won't matter. I just think The Dogs are getting good momentum now.

I see SBW & Maitua have been put on report for a dangerous tackle. Bad one?

Bloody hell, Parra tearing The Warriors a new one. 14-0 after 20. Two more tires from Hayne. He's an absolute gun, that boy.

SBW put his hand between his legs and ended up putting Best in a relly dangerous position. He should get a few weeks. I don't think Maitua did much, he should get off.

I didnt think it was bad at all..

 

[Burpey]

Goffy, what a comedian.

Goffy, what a comedian.

Im serious, if you look at it, his torso never go past the horizontal(Which is what constitutes a dangerous throw)...

Ill be very surprised if either get a suspension.....

 

[Burpey]

Surely he went past the horizontal ...

 

[Blewy]

I personally dont think he did, looking at it again the only possible reason SBW could be suspended could be for the hand between the legs, but if he didnt go passed the horizontal it will be hard to make a case against him...

 

[Blewy]

[BoyBrumby]

Tigers in the final. Hmmmm.

Possibly letting your loyalty cloud your judgement a tad?

BTW, I heard a rumour that Thurston has been knocking off Steve Southern's wife! Might explain why their season's gone so completely to pot.

No bias at all.. It will happen

As far as the Cows go... I called it way back i think about round 7... Said they were not the real deal, and got laughed at... Thurston is a germ, why do you think he was let go from the dogs so easily? He was the trouble maker in all the incidents they had...

Could be. Mind you, he didn't have any black eyes or split lips today, so maybe there's nothing in it. Southern's a big unit & think he'd rip little Jono's head off if it came to fisticuffs.
