Props that score tries, I wish we had one.

I don't think Nicho was that good, without Trindall they would be rudderless.

We had one score a double last start

Pole went close, twice!

It’s always very upsetting watching the Roosters star studded line up get knocked out of the semis.

Sharks are lucky they have had a decent team the last 10-15years, otherwise I straight up don’t think they would exist.

Believe that was Tucker’s idea because he doesn’t like what he calls Bro culture - whatever that means:

Yep - wasn't calling you out comrade!

I've given up on that death-riding opinionated tosser!

Hunt scored two in our last game FFS!

Rudolph isn't a renowned try-scorer either

He was melbournes best

Best "what" exactly"

Starting forward?

Was not on the field when the game was in the balance!

 

[TYGA]

Both winners Panthers and Sharks were hosed by refs. Interesting.

I thought Stefano played the back end of the game

Based on form, I'm thinking that the premier will come from tomorrow's game. All of the teams have been gritty, but none have been all that impressive this weekend.

It's been bugging me for ages, but I finally remember who Marky Mark reminds me of!
For those of us old enough - Marge's bowling coach from when Homer bought her a bowling ball for her birthday!

reminds me more of Bergstrom

I think so too, the winner with the week off as long as they get through without too many key injuries.

Gave up on me did you?
I told you I’d leave you alone if you did the same.
You are so weak that you couldn’t keep your word for a couple of weeks. 🤣🤣🤣
Such a coward.

That’s not the reason you silly felcher.
Try and understand a man’s argument before you quote him champ.
Arrrrrriba!

I thought Hynes was excellent tonight. He plays fast and gets players into good spots around him. He's not an especially threatening runner but his creativity and kicking game are really good and means he's a tricky player to oppose. He's not amongst the very best halves but not having paid much attention to the Sharks I'm surprised he cops so much based on what I saw against the Roosters.

Was really good to see Roosters get knocked out straight away, despite the big turnover of players they have a very talented roster and have underachieved in my opinion.

i think the Roosters have done well to be honest, 5 rookies in their current 17, two of them in the spine

Improvement will come with the development of Sam Walker, not sure why they are signing DCE

Wish we could fail like they do.
I would shudder to think how we’d respond if we lost the calibre of talent they did.
The only issue they have is whether their premier players can hold form long enough for their young guns to mature to the required level and join them to win another title.

Today’s winner will be clear favourites I think. Broncos I think would benefit more from the week off. Would give Reynolds an extra week. Not sure what the status on Mam is. I read season, but who knows how reliable that is.
