@mariner4life Not much else they could do in fairness to them. They simply can't attract players there and when you have to fill 95% of your salary cap, they don't have much else they can do.

The Dogs recruitment on the other hand....

The chin in overdrive!

The dick riding from the commentators was nauseating

I watched the first half on 9 and I thought John's was bad

But jesus Ennis wanted to gob him off

bayimports

Yeah they don’t hold back their love..

If anything given Walsh’s early exit, makes for a great rematch later

African Monkey

I wouldn't worry too much if I were Brisbane with all the reshuffling that went on. About of the tries went through Piakura defending out of position.

mariner4life

gee what a surprise, Walsh's face is fractured, he has to drive back to Brisbane, and he'll be out for a fair while.

May not charged for the collision.

Two Panthers opponents in two weeks get their faces caved in for a grant total of zero weeks suspension.

Yes, this was a head clash, and i'm pretty big on footy accidents happen. But May sort of launched himself forward in a motion that even if he didn't crush his head, would have resulted in nothing more than a shoulder-charge. I'm a little surprised it's been chucked straight out.

For me (trying to look at it through league and not my rugby eyes) it was a complete accident, however if you blow a penalty for it, then surely something greater occurs and should have been at least put on report and reviewed later.

I don't buy into Penrith being a protected species, but putting on my warriors jersey for a second, I think if it was a warrior we would be asking if 2-4 weeks was appropriate

mariner4life

it was on report. report dismissed

bayimports

wow, yeah find that hard to believe, will be interesting to see how the ref boss justifies this

bayimports

Dylan Walker out too.. watch out for that banana skin

mariner4life

yeah this is now outside banana skin territory, i have the Raiders as favourites

bayimports

+8.5 Canberra @ 1.85 looking good to me as well

Stag

The lack of footy nouse from the Warriors is astounding. Plenty of effort but very little brain.

bayimports

Two big opportunities failed to be converted, shame they look so good in full flight. Conversely Raiders just grind shit out so well. If this comes down to a a small margin, im not sure we tough this out especially with no AFB.

DWZ was a journeyman fullback, seriously one of the most complete wingers in the game, good on him for that change, amazing

Big second half incoming

Gunner

Warriors attack not really clicking at all.

bayimports

Surprised no kick for goal in penalties, might come back to haunt them

`yup, butchered two certain tries by simply not passing the ball. luckily they got 1 soon after the first miss
