If Keary doesn’t come back it could be game over already, although I am sure Raiders fans would hate me to kiss of death them. Losing Keary would be huge..

Will add, even with Keary back on, Raiders dominating so far. Looking the goods so far

@bayimports The Roosters have looked off since kickoff. They're getting done through the middle so far, a usual strength of the Roosters.

For a young player, Radley was a massive loss for them.

Finally a law in league that's better than rugby. At least those boofheads know that you can't jump from outside the sideline!

African Monkey

Great try Roosters to get back in it. Big 2nd half coming up.

Siam

And then the boofheads deny a clever piece of skill for a nice leveller. Raiders intense, deserve to prevail.

League is definitely SBW's game.

bayimports

Great game, well done Raiders no three peat for the roosters. Will be hard for the other elimination final to match that one.

ACT Crusader

Wooohoooo, Roosters goneski. Now for the Storm to lose next week.

ARHS

Yeehah. What a performance. Go the raiders!

mariner4life

That was a really great game of football. Thoroughly entertaining and both sides are fucked!!

SBW with a great offload for the last try. He was pretty good tonight despite not being fit enough

Gunner

Good riddance Roosters! Shut the door on your way out.

Michael Jennings has pissed hot. Roids and growth hormones. That's that career done and if Parra had any hopes of scraping through this weekend, they are also gone. Their backline is toast.

Old bloke trying to hang on. Bit sad really

“Jennings was tested on the 21st of September with the positive result received on the 9th of October.”

Interesting timing.

What intrigues me in any of these types of development is who else knew?

Yeah, he was probably good enough to hold down a spot without it (definitely in the Superleague). Stink way to end his career.

raznomore

I just hope there are not any more prominent(actually any) players juicing. Especially not older guys. Wouldn't want to name anyone because I don't want to cast aspersions without good at least someone else doing it first.... :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

Cracking five minutes by Eels to get themselves back into the match against the Bunnies.

That Jennings try was special.

NTA

Gutherson is the most goofy looking fuck on the run but just makes it work.

ACT Crusader

@NTA you’re out west aren’t you Nick? Eels fan?

Man I can’t stand the Rabbits. The Eels have their fair share of grubs but nothing like the Rabbits.

ACT Crusader

As hard as it is to say it, but that was a very good win by the Rabbits.

Panthers need to do their duty for club and country and beat this mob next week.

@antipodean their fans are as bad as each other. The wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from the Pies fans tonight is not a pretty sight, but enjoyable

mariner4life

I hate Wayne Bennett

I hate Cleary

I hate next week

Do they have enough teeth to gnash?

Nominally - don't really follow league as I find it a bit repetitive.

My Rugby club shares training facilities with them, so would like to see them do well. Lot of Parra fans in the club but a few in the Souths, Penriff and Raiders camps as well.

No flies on Bennett. Old cnut just refuses to disappear.

Probably would have done better in the test today if he was coaching instead of Fozzie.

Plus @mariner4life's blow up when Wayne somehow manages to find a long lost grandparent for Darius Boyd and then his selection in the ABs would be a sight to behold.

ACT Crusader

Big night for @kiwiinmelb with both his teams playing.

This game is a stitch up 👀

Got both the AFL and NRL on, now just the AFL...

Yeah was great , had the tigers on the tv and the storm on the laptop ,

Big weekend next weekend 👍

Every time I complain about rugby refs, I should pause and reflect on how incompetent league refs can be on a much simpler game.

Also - how overrated is Wayne Bennett? Let's see him coach the Bulldogs.

ACT Crusader

Panthers really know how to work the ball out of their own end.

Nepia

We would have won the test last week if it was the bunker and not the TMO.

antipodean

Another Burgess without the brainpower to play the ball. Such a simple skill and Souths appear to have difficulty with it.

ACT Crusader

The Bunnies hooker Damian Cook is a grub. His neck rolls are Cameron Smith-esque...

He cracks me up, he's actually well spoken in interviews (his bogan accent isn't as pronounced as most players) yet he looks like a bikie.

Bovidae

1st vs 2nd seems like the right final matchup.

ACT Crusader

I just hope a couple of the Panther players that got hurt tonight come right.

Kikau will be back too.

Welcome back bro.

I think Bennett is an excellent coach, but he invites plenty of criticism and attention because of his manner and style. He comes across as “bigger than the game” with the way he engages with the media. Sure the media are dogs sometimes, but play the game and don’t always be an egg about it.

Not at all. He's up there with the best coaches of all time. Should have retired after the Dragons though.
