Post of the month.

Given the gambling saturation it would be naive, and possibly irresponsible, to not consider manipulation would enter the game. The Cowboys v Tigers where the ref went chasing a captain's challenge after the bell was a certainty. There was talk of a $100,000 bet on the Cows that day. In that...

If you were to be analysing trends to identify gambling related manipulation, last night was an absolute red flag.

Plenty of reasons for the boys to turn up on Sunday. I'll take a punt and take the train out there.

And Penrith's defence miss Galvin short ball to Preston twice??!! Dogs most go to play? Even Cronk saw it obviously coming. Not believable.

That second short grubber by Cleary behind the defensive line on the left at half way was not a real attempt at a play.

Penrith's performance is not really believable, suss as.

Looks like the Pennies have a punt with the bookies on this.

After Cronk described a Galvin stutter step before a kick as the evolution of the maturity of his game, I've gone to full mute.

Electing to receive also puts the pressure on themselves of making an error. If confident in restricting their metres, like we were, kick off and put the error pressure on them. The way it played they got the first crack at a field goal and that was predictable.

Thanks mate. I thought though it resulted in giving the Eels the first crack and that was predictable with how the field position battle started. Give we were holding their sets to 20-30 meters at times, I would have kicked off and got down there and bashed them.

Isn't that what the Tigers originally mapped out for him, the John Sutton example? And his team threw it in the Tigers faces.

I asked the below on the Eels live game chat but didn't get any explanation. You guys got any ideas because I thought it really strange?? What's the advantage of electing to receive when winning the golden point coin toss? To me it gave Parramatta an advantage in field position, which was...

How many of Jock's pinpoint kicks to our guys in the air got results on Monday? 3-4-5?

I'm going to take the train out to Campbelltown this Sunday. I've got a feeling there will be serious focus and determination to win there this week. They don't look like stumbling yet.

Then Read is blantently lying, as he said it was his own independent idea.

They said Douhie's groin issue was due to the demands of running more as a half, and he's not kicking because of it. Makes an easy case to move him to the centre where we have injuries.

I'm tipping Benji will stick with Luke for another week, to show confidence and give him the opportunity to correct his errors. Topped the metres gained with a massive effort, composed and focused with his contribution after the binning, backing him to fire at his home ground at Campbelltown.

What's the advantage of electing to receive when winning the golden point coin toss? To me it gave Parramatta an advantage in field position, which was predictable given how they started the game with Moses long kicking game. Surely given they have no yardage game we should have elected to kick off?

I agree with May, Taylan May is an X factor we really need in our backline. Toa, less so. At the moment were blooding Tavana and Makasini. Makasini is a MUST resign and a total gun. I get the hype and I am 100% onboard this hype train. When you put Makasini and May as right/left centers...
