@Nepia Hmmmmm
- Cappy is apparently fixing the culture at the WoWos
- We look like a rabble on the pitch
- The players really like him
Is he related to the Hammateur? Brothers from different mothers eh?
The players really liking him is probably half the problem! If they are playing shit they should hate the coach, but respect him
So Wighton gets off, because apparently his "tackle" wasn't a shoulder charge. Ridiculous decision.
Both of those cases on the weekend were shoulder charges, both should have been charged, and both should have been found guilty. The NRL really don't help themselves do they? So reactionary, and so little thought given to how they go about things.
@mariner4life It comes as no surprise. The NRL judiciary is exemplary in its ability to make SANZAAR a shining paragon of justice. The lawyer must have found a single frame where there was a glimmer of daylight between Wighton's arm and his body.
Its been a pretty phenomenal turnaround by Joey Leilua. Unwanted at the Knights not that long ago and now a standout season with the red hot Raiders.
Rapana is having a big season. He's a good kid and whilst its taken him a while to get to this level after playing for the Titans as a teenager way back when, he's showing his wares on a more consistent basis.
But I can't support the green machine. Any team that has 'Sticky' associated with it will never get a cheer from me....
A good game here between Broncos and Titans.
Titans came out of the blocks scoring 2 quick ones. Broncos have hit back with Milford showing his class.
Hayne playing well.
Titans a little unlucky with a knock on call against them when it wasn't there and they were hot on attack.
And Hayne scores just before half time to tie things up 16 a piece with kick to come
This is a great game
Hayne heavily involved now that Titans have lost their halfback.
Creates space with his little delay pass, then a well executed kick for Hoffman to score.
Broncos clearly better, but man the Titans have been unlucky. Every possible decision is going against them.
Finally remembered what email address I used....Broncos score again off a miffed kick by the Milf. Broncos going through to the next round.
Another great game tonight with raiders starting strong as expect but sharks reigned them back in to win 16 - 14. Massive effort
Next game should be good too and I reckon it could be a preview of the grand final
@ACT-Crusader yep rough! Funny how they award that stuff in normal time but wouldn't dare in golden point

storm get the week off , one game away from the GF,
Cowboys play the Broncos next Friday
Cue a thousand replays of last years grand final on Fox over the course of this week....
Foran signs with the Warriors. Don't know how many games he'll play (I predict five) but good signing if he pulls it together.

I hope it's for cheap.
Are we all happy the Dogs are gone? Fuck off you boring grubs. Only Cronulla to bounce out now and the finals are worth watching.
Pleased to see Penrith playing well.

I don't think everyone hates them as much as you do. They were my favourite team in the 90s (not now though). But, TBH I don't care who's left now. 
I hope we get Foran, so we can see if anyone can organise this team.
@Sneakdefreak Interesting signing - possibly a really good one.
People can suffer from depression, but a bit of time out and into a new environment (or especially out of an old one) and they can quickly be back on the horse and good as new.
I have no idea what was going on with Savea - quite likely nothing like Foran - but, on Saturday night he was a different player to the one we saw a couple of months ago.
