Things have really closed up after this round. 99* & myself managed to tip 100%, thus gaining a bonus point. whistl Morgieb has joined Brumby & Wright at the top with 61. However, the gap between first and 10th has closed to just 4 points.

Round 15:
Broncos v Wests Tigers
Dragons v Panthers
Bulldogs v Raiders
Storm v Cowboys
Warriors v Sea Eagles
Knights v Roosters
Sharks v Eels
Rabbitohs v Titans

Hope no-one put any money on the Cowboys. After leveling at 18 got done in the last 5 minutes with converted tries to Gidley and Mullen. Cowboys will struggle to make the 8.

The cowboys wont make the 8 from here I don't reckon. Would require a jaw-dropping 2nd half of the season from JT & Bowen.

Gidleh = Gun. How did Mullen play btw?

Didn't see the game, so not sure how he played.

Think Bowen is out for a while, so won't help the Cowboys much, also J.T. still has Origin commitments, and with Cowboys away to a full strength Storm it's going to be hard next week.

Wish I hadnt put that last $23 in my centrebet account on the Cowboys by 13+ now.

Anyway

Mullen played alright, not the best with the kicking game, but ran well when needed (catching another run-away interception). One thing though, Buderus = God.

 

[howardj]

They should put Mullen back in the NSW team, so Joey can claim him as his pet project (providing Mullen has a good game). I notice Joey didn't align himself too closely to Wallace after Game 2, unlike after Game 1.

Well TBF Joey should have been giving the forwards a great big kick up the arse.

What a horrid platform to give a second game half back.

Good to see Bird& Gallen do SFA, even though I'm a Blues fan.

I would say a massacre is more likely.

Interesting Idea

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I like the idea.

 

[Johnners]

Mmm, theres certainly been worse ideas put foward.

 

[Craig]

Very good idea and I for one would certainly go along. Put it at Suncorp since people in QLD actually care about league, whereas at ANZ Stadium I doubt they would still fill it

 

[Mister Wright]

Love the idea. If they sell a weekend ticket for $100 for all games, I'd go for sure.

 

[NUFAN]

AWTA.

I'd love it.

 

[James90]

In unrelated news, just had a look at the team lists and Sammut is listed on the same wing as Gasnier/Nightingale. Should be tries a-plenty for the Dragons on Friday night.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Sammut's reasonably quick on his feet, Gasnier will probs miss 983 tackles.
