More hope for Turuva than Mak.

if Mak can stay.on the wing outside May you never know

Golden point is a blight on the game.

I totally agree. Maybe still have 10 mins extra time but field goals & penalty kicks can't be taken, forcing teams to score a try to win. If after the 10 no one crosses the line then split the points.
At the arse end of a game players are fatigued so they will throw caution to the wind and throw passes they would not normally pass, go for 40/20s and even try a chip over the defence, it would be exiting for the fans & a fairer way of deciding a game that's a draw after 80 mins.

Golden point is a blight on the game.

It really is especially if you play higher ranking teams more then lower ranking teams and your point difference at the end of year is not as good as other teams that had a easier run

A draw against Penrith is a great result

Young also faces a two-to-three match ban for a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle on Storm fullback Sua Fa'alogo in the 78th minute of Canberra's 26-22 win at GIO Stadium. It is Young's second offence.

Broncos without Walsh & Carrigan.

Raiders without Young.

I guess top 4 sides really do get all the luck.

Was Nikorima's tackle a hip drop? Looked like a good old fashioned leg tackle to me.

The punishment is being based on the injury, not the tackle.

Jenkins could set a record this year for top try scorer that will last for a very long while.

Jenkins was 100 to 1 at the start of the season to be leading try scorer ......

I hope that you backed him at that price,it would be a nice profit even for a small outlay

Do they even have another winger?

Lol only the great Brian To’o! He’s taking a back seat these days.

The sin bin was bloody stupid. As you said, it was just a good old fashioned around the legs tackle. Injuries happen, it’s a contact sport.

Being penalised for performing what is essentially a copy book tackle just because someone is injured is everything that is wrong about the game nowadays.

It's becoming like soccer now too, players staying down for the slightest of head contact.

If they go down should send them for 15 minute HIA just to be on the safe side don't want them to get any side affects
