Maybe they should just replace it with the indigenous v all stars game even though I'm not a fan of setting sides apart on racial grounds. There seems to be some pride in the format making it meaningful for one side at least. The other side knows higher rep honours can be obtained with a good performance.

Nice win to the Bunnies. Winning at Brookvale no small achievement.

 

[Coronis]

That obstruction no try was ****ing ridiculous though. Oh and the shoulder charge penalty on Inglis. Also, Richie Fa'oso. What a ****.

 

[uvelocity]

nah he ran behind his man, who was between asotasi and himself. doesn't matter that it was a **** attempt by roy, you can't do that

 

[dermo]

yeah look uvelocity i dont want to be to negative but our boys are ****ed

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah hard luck Tigers although Moltzen out might be a blessing as giving Sironen, Miller, Brooks can only help you in the long run (unless another club buys them and your stuck with Bwaith).

Miller will most likely go to england at the end of the year, will be interesting to see if Potter puts Brooks in this week or not.

good win by souths too

 

[uvelocity]

oh yeah we're well and truly ****ed.

bring in brooks, give the two ****s some good experience and build for next year

 

[the big bambino]

Manly are trying too hard to be hated when it just comes naturally. It would be easy to blame Toovey for the club's whining culture of complaint as it is a fit for his personality. Inglis and others were cheap shotted and rather than do someting about it Toovey claims their opponents dived. Manly have been daring the judiciary and getting away with it so Toovey has taken that luck to get even dirtier. The judiciary needs to reach him and the club a lesson.

Not that Lyon is any better. He isn't a good man doing the bidding of a whatever it takes boss. He's a slimey, sleazy grub of a **** who'd diddle his away to an advantage. While Fa'aoso is just a thug ready to carry out the cheap hits coz thats what he's good for and Toovey sees rubbing someone out as a legit tactic. Add to that Mattai and would you trust Stewart and Watmough? Its a **** of a club.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

There is some seriously bad footy teams out there at the moment, most of the games every weekend are borderline unwatchable. How many good teams are there really? Storm, Souths, Manly, Roosters (not yet tested), Bulldogs maybe if they get their **** together?

Iunno. Not liking the comp this season.

 

[uvelocity]

dont reckon fa'aoso meant any of it. looks like a gentle bloke to me, but should have been marched after the second one

How did Cherry Evans get into the grubs team? He's a regular NUFAN (model citizen).

Yep those four teams are currently well clear of the pack.

Im confident enough with Newcastle and Cowboys both playing finals footy. Both teams will get better.

That leaves 2 out of 10 teams fighting it out for the final spots in the 8. I can't leave out my Broncos but I worry about the Wallace+Prince combo and you'd imagine that Graham is going to boost Bulldogs heaps, so yeah that's my eight and frankly I can't see any other teams making it.

But yep, lots of average games - a few teams were hindered by serious injuries, think we should seriously look at an 18th man emergency kind of like what the AFL does.

 

[uvelocity]

actually just thinking about it, pretty amazing and i'm sure i;ve never seen before. an entire backline 1-7 out injured

 

[Ausage]

actually just thinking about it, pretty amazing and i'm sure i;ve never seen before. an entire backline 1-7 out injured

We're not that far off. Mansour, Roberts, Tighe, Coote and arguably Naiqama all make our first team squad and Walsh only came back last week.

We're an average team at full strength but we really don't need any help being rubbish.

 

[uvelocity]

we have more injuries and therefore more excuses so ner

 

[NUFAN]

If Penrith, Parramatta and Wests Tigers formed into one super club they'd probably be in contention for the 8.

I suggest the following team names:
- Parrariff Tigpies
- Greater Western Sydney (play lots of home games in Canberra),
