Roache is always hurt as well
Leo doesn't have the best ball security. Given how structured the possession is in League that seems like a big issue
Fun game because both teams sucked
Sharks should have won by 40 but blew so many opportunities. Cowboys were awful. Drinkwater with an all-time stinker. Just think the cows chose him over hammer
Cronulla are going to he destroyed by Penrith next week. The NRL is broken
Two Manly players knocked out in the first 20 seconds of the game. Both won’t return me thinks.
And so the Top 4 play the prelims.
The Roosters showed more than i expected against an admittedly very average Manly side, and just maybe they can finally win against melbourne and break the expected GF.
Cronulla would have to go up several levels to beat play-offs Panthers.
To be fair on Manly, those early head knocks do impact the team, but still, was almost like last week was their final.
If Penrith allow the Sharks to get off to their regular fast start it will be interesting, else likely business as usual.
Who would have thought a possible Sydney team winning AFL and Melbourne team winning NRL in the same year. Both a good shot.
Expected NRL final still looking likely
Not a Broncos fan by any stretch of the imagination (despite them being my team until the Warriors came in to being)
but
i hope for their sake this doesn't Bradbury T-Baz in to the coaching seat.

Sorry, who? (I think I may know but don't want to appear a bigger ignoramus than I already do ... )
Trent Barrett, who has coached (and been sacked by) Manly, the Bulldogs and the Eels
for a combined record of 38-83
lol

just choked on my coffee, surely T Baz couldn't fluke that one
well, he's a signed assistant coach with "head coaching experience"
i mean, i like to think not, but...
wow, still could be an Arthur or a Maguire I suppose. Top job will be interesting though, Broncos would be a sought after role

Not many options out there in fairness, unless you take a punt on a rookie.
I reckon the average punter could achieve Trent's numbers.

i was going to make a joke about Benji and the Tigers until i realised that TBaz won 40% of his games at Manly with DCE, prime Turbos, young AFB and Walker, prime Marty Taupau.
Yeah, they could have coached themselves to 10 wins
