This Knights Roosters game is alright but I'm looking forward to the one after. No warriors to root for this week so I'll watch two teams named for animals battle it out.

This game is the most error filled game ever to not include a team called Wests

Eels haven't been in the top 8 all season but with that win we've gone into fourth place with the second best for & against. The NRL really need to ditch these byes or come up with a better way of showing the ladder because the current form is not representative of where the teams actually are at all.

Josh Schuster wants waaaaay too much money if that's his standard when DCE is out.

Adam is a wonderful example of how a player should go about his business in the NRL
Jesus wants Schuster to get all that money, and who are we to question the lord? Amen.

It's kind of incredible how the entire team collectively shits the bed every time DCE & Turbo are out on Origin duty :negative:

Though on the plus side Manly’s poo poo form in their absence is a pretty sound endorsement of Slater and Fittler’s selections, respectively.

Given their team on paper I'd say Manly punch well above their weight and that all basically rests on the shoulders of those two players. Reminds me of Thurston most of the time he was with the Cowboys.

Gee, after a bit of time when NSW was overpowering QLD and I thought the golden years from Maninga, and Lockyer to Thurston were just a fluke, DCE and Slater look like establishing another team that plays above itself.

my student accommodation was doing a watch party for the state of origin game since its in brisbane, and they spent the whole game struggling to get the projector to work and at one point asked if the ppl there wouldn't mind if we all huddled around the laptop they were using (the projector has connection to broadcast tv channels so :psyduck:).

long story short, i spent the whole game just watching the feed cut out every 5 to 7 mins but got a free qld scarf so i guess the overpriced fees for this place evened out in their minds.


edit - queensland won both the men's & women's state of origin and brisbane are top of the ladder all within 4 months of me moving here. you're welcome queensland goons.

It's been a little less good out Ashfield way, but there are just enough good signs to build some hope to be dashed next season.
