1 week down, a shit ton to go
@Sneakdefreak The Bulldogs reminded me of of the Warriors in Kearney's first year. High completion rate but no creativity to use it
Great to have NRL back.
Did my weekly multi for the whole round and cruelly missed on the panthers game where I thought they would be too good for the eels but well and truely wrong.
The Panthers were out-enthused by the Eels, who are supposed to get the spoon and their coach fired.
It's just a pity Ricky Stuart bagged a win, otherwise it was nearly a perfect weekend. Broncos down, Sharks down, Roosters down, Manly down, Warriors and Cowboys up.
@mariner4life how did Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad for the raiders? I was gutted we let him go, but with our current back three on fire it doesn't look quite as short-sighted. Do hope he does really well, except against us!

you think i paid attention to the Raiders playing the Titans in pissing rain at 6pm on a Sunday?
@mariner4life as you were.
I didn't actually get to watch the Warriors, so my highlight for the weekend would be Paul Gallen dropping the ball that condemned the Sharks to the loss. And copping a gob full for it as well. Beautiful
I am a petty man

You should watch a replay of that Warriors game - I doubt they'll be that good again this year.
Isaac Luke is close to returning but will probably play NSW Cup this weekend if fit. Papali'i returns from his suspension and is on the bench.

Forgot to write this after the game - what the fuck is up with the NRL that they let players be tackled in the air? I'm one who thinks rugby goes too far sometimes and general collisions turn into cards when they shouldn't, but the NRL doesn't give a shit.
@Nepia
I think they are hoping that if they are injured and cant get around there is less chance of them going to the casino and beating their wife, shadow boxing naked, having group sex.
Although they forgot to factor in that if you have all this spare time there is more likelihood of sharing sex tapes

The amount of words in this post replicates the average intellect of the administrators and players.

It should have been a penalty to the Warriors and everyone except the refs appeared to know that. You can jump up and challenge for the ball but it was obvious the Bulldogs winger Crichton was just trying to take out Fusitua because he couldn't out jump him.

Did the blokes taking out kickers legs get suspended?
Ah, that's right, they cracked down on that last year or year before didn't they? So in the air kicking bad, in the air jumping for ball, meh. 
If ever a group of players try to sue the NRL for neglecting player safety there are hours of negligence on tape, imo

They'd probably be the aggressor in a number of them...
I'm thinking of all the times Billy Slater kicked out at guys diving over the try line. Just have strained his ACL more than once or twice....
