• Samp : The broncs after this week will have Cowboys,Eels,Kni ghts,Warriors and Raiders with 3 games away. A gruelling task ahead KW. Against the Big RED V is the mental test of how they will go from now on.
• Samp : HD. Unfortuntely a draw will; not help the Broncs. They will have to play finals football to make the top 4 and host a game in the finals $$$$$.
• Samp : EELZ yes that was a minus minus. Still 6 games to go.
• Samp : The Bunnies have Tigers,Storm,Pan thers, Eels and Dragons. Tough ask for them to make the top 8 with or without big Sam.
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : made ma shock selections on the wrong 2 cost me 0/2
• Samp : Got 2/2. Some teams will have to play these last 6 rounds as if it were the finals. Hope that they do not run out of puff when the finals are for real.
• Happy Dragon : How about a draw KW? Oh that's right, the NRL don't like draws? They tell refs 2 give dodgy calls against teams so there can't b a draw???
• KING WALLY : i didnt give bris a chance at first HD, but after hearing what lockyer has said about starting to play finals footy early, has me thinking they are on there game. i think it will be a cracker HD, to close to call, but ill obviously be cheerin for the mighty broncs!!
• Guest_4757 : wot?
• stormRsooks-EELZ : what r storm gunna do if there not letting cronk go and there is no talks of slater or smith with any clubs if the top 4 ant forced out wat a joke why did they bother revealing such a saga cocky cheats pussy sooks LOL
• stormRsooks-EELZ : 0/2 niice worst for me this year on fridy night
• Samp : Got 1/1 so far. Sutton has hi hot and cold games.
• NRRJ : to many rush plays by him.
• NRRJ : sutton had a terrible game.
• Manu Feltersnatch : I think Sutton has his boots on the wrong feet tonight
• Manu Feltersnatch : Can someone call that Green and Red team that nearly beat the dragons 2 weeks ago and tell them they have a game to play tonight.
• AC Repair Miami : hi i want know what is this «link»
• AC Repair Miami : hi this is running competition. I didn't get it
• NRRJ : issac luke starting from the bench..
• Happy Dragon : Don't give the Dragons any chance this wk? Hopefully Jamie will have a big one being his 100th game, the Dragons need him 2 fire for them 2 fire?
• Happy Dragon : I've gone Souths,Penrith,R oosters,Tigers,W arriors,Storm,Br oncos & Manly

• −-−−EELZ−-−- : SAMP i did the same i went some upsets too but not kind like ur selections GO EELZ wouldnt b suprises we loose suprised we fav's
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : warning warning i got 5 lolz
• Samp : Warning Warning Warning. I got only 3 right last round.
• Samp : Got my tips in. going for some upsets to get some points. Dogs over Bunnies,chooks over Eels and Brocs over the Dragons. Any game can go either way. No Beau Champion. Will Soward run to the line? Is the plane running low on fuel?
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : hey sAMP
• Samp : Hi EELZ and NRRJ. That is short and sweet.
• RickyRicardo : Looks like the Telegraph is behind the times as usual. I said a while ago that the Eels were after Tuiaki and it seems like they've only just picked up on it Haha.
• Happy Dragon : So now Jeremy Smith is leaving, that's 6 including Smith! How many more 2 go? If we don't win this yr, there won't b a team left 4 next yr, hope Gaz is worth it in the end?
• KING WALLY : nice one pp, just when everyone thought you were an absolute moron, you say something and prove it to everyone.
• Guest_4628 : How can i add this widget in my site - «link»
• Guest_4628 : How can I add this widget in my site - «link»
• RickyRicardo : At the very least that is.
• RickyRicardo : I don't want to accuse the Dogs have of anything, but I'd say they're very close to the cap yes.
• RickyRicardo : Nah. He confirmed he was staying to honour his contract with the Dogs.
• Guest_832 : do you think the dogs are over the cap?
• Guest_832 : oh is he? i thought he was leaving.
• RickyRicardo : Ryan is actually staying on for next year.
• RickyRicardo : The Dogs have always been one of the major culprits of that whole bred not bought scandal and what have you.
• RickyRicardo : None of them are rumoured to go there as such. At least not yet. It's more a case of the Dogs enquiring about them without any solid evidence to support that they actually are.
• Guest_832 : Breed not Brought, thats what the doggies should be doing.
• Guest_832 : pattern, kimmorley, hannent and ryan r all leaving but in the last 2 years they have bought so many players..
• Guest_832 : eastwood, neilson and mataui all rumoured to return to the dogs..
• RickyRicardo : Also, Greg Eastwood wants back in the NRL.
• Guest_832 : do u no when ull find out about the dogs
• RickyRicardo : It's only a minor investigation. A larger one will probably be conducted at the conclusion of the 2010 season.
• RickyRicardo : Careful with what you say PP.
• Guest_832 : no surprice about dogs.
• RickyRicardo : The Dogs are currently being investigated by the NRL for possible breaches.
• RickyRicardo : They plan to blood DCE (Daly-Cherry Evans into the halves) for 2011 if reports are correct.
• RickyRicardo : Don't think Manly is after anyone right now MF.
• Samp : Sorry all. Wally was another Big name buy for the Broncs.
• Samp : PP . All I see from you here are rants. Maybe I should not have responded as that will make you look like a goose.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : cool down PP contro ur immature calls
• Pauline Pantsdown : or...harden the F up and cop a bagging on the chin. It the backbone of being a bloke in the proud land so take your vagina off you pussy
• Samp : KW, I see ex Brocs both juniors and seniors who are now playing for other teams. Heaps. Laz,prob Tallis are 2 that I can think of who were big name buys, or Falou as well for a while.
• Samp : Watched the Matty Johns Show just then and the allegations of John Elias way back in 94 I thinhk he said. Gould is looking at sueing him for some comments in his book.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : only like 5 on big bucks in that side i dare say
• stormRsooks-EELZ : kenny, teo, hoffman, winterstein, glenn, yow yeh, hunt, setu,gillett, mccullough i dont think will b on great amounts just yet
• NRRJ : yea KW... i dont even think brisbane r close to the cap.. they have lots of juniours that wont be on big money anyway..
• NRRJ : yeah rabbitohs should be close..
• stormRsooks-EELZ : what about luke n sandow
• KING WALLY : oh yeh, and dont cry if we do end up with hodges and inglis getting quality ball from the likes of lockyer and wall.
• KING WALLY : anyway, to my mates, harden the F up, support your team, dont bag others because they are succesful.
• KING WALLY : and if that means that they would always be in the hunt for the trophy, isnt that just stiff bickies? i mean should we apoligise for having talented league players? it just annoys me how people rag on us because we are good. but there are others that are in similar positions, dragons, dogs, manly also have succesful pasts. just because teams or should i say, regions like canberra, nz, cronulla etc dont have that luxury how is that our problem?.
• KING WALLY : *trade.
• KING WALLY : most of my friends are nsw supporters, and most hate the mighty broncos, and thgey have all said about it being unfair if brisbane get GI. i couldnt believe it, all brisbane has done for the last few years is turn over players, 3/4 of the dragons and bulldogs teams took advantage of that. that was to ensure bris didnt exceed the rediculous cap. soon as bris wants some talent everyone sooks. if the talent that is there comes from within, then they should be able to stay were they learnt there tra
• KING WALLY : id say the bunnies would go close as well nrj, they bought burgess from super league, which wouldnt be cheap, d taylor, i luke, n merritt, b champion, wesser, and sutton, so how could they afford greg inglis?? thats if it is true about them being in the hunt for him.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : way too goo (trash show tonight) footy show
• NRRJ : i am Guest_122 everybody
• NRRJ : Nrl Refs aRe Jokes
• stormRsooks-EELZ : NRJ (nrl refs are jokes)
• stormRsooks-EELZ : just EELZ IS THE WAY TO GO
• Samp : stromRsooks-EELZ is even longer to type..
• stormRsooks-EELZ : gettn good names on ere ha
• Samp : Kinda too hard to type NRL Refs=Joke. Think that 122 is easier.
• Samp : athe dogs have let go Hennant an Patten so far.
• NRLRefs=Joke : seriously cant david gallop realise the dogs r over the cap.
• NRLRefs=Joke : good name mate.
• Manu Feltersnatch : whos Manly after Rick?
• RickyRicardo : Bulldogs are after Reni Maitua, Greg Eastwood and Dane Neilson.
• Manu Feltersnatch : Hey 122 you should change your name to NRLRefs=Joke
• NRL=$$$ : unbelievable.
• NRL=$$$ : «link» - Referees' boss Finch backs end result
• NRL=$$$ : «link» - Worst Referee Decision Ever
• Guest_2 : g
• Guest_3365 : johnaton thurston is to
• Guest_3365 : what are you doing
• Guest_3365 : hello
• Guest_3393 : is issac luke 100% playing on friday?? just wondering if i should put him in my fantasy
• Samp : 122.I think that the new catchy name is more appropriate.
• Samp : Lockyer to stay playing in 2012 season.
• RickyRicardo : They probably rely on Thurston a bit too much MF. But with players like Tate and Graham coming in, maybe some of the workload can be taken off him.
• Manu Feltersnatch : Whats wrong with the cowboys RR, they have good roster, they do travel so that would be a factor but they have some bloody good players on their roster but cant get it together. Is it just a fact that they dont gel as a team or is there trouble up there. Theyve had some good coaches so whats their deal?
• KING WALLY : i didnt see the try, heard the game on radio.
• KING WALLY : a penalty try is only awarded if the player that is going for the try is denied by foul play, and it is only awarde if he was DEFINATELY going to score, and that is a possible 8 point try, they get 2 kicks, one from right in front.
• Guest_122 : yeah i know mate.. but everyone remembers me as 122.. should i change it back to NRL=$$$??
• Samp : BTW 122. I thought you had a new catchy name...
• Samp : But that was the ruling to the decision.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : but than was the defence TOOO STRONG to b a possability penalty try
• Guest_122 : mini didnt even strip the ball.. all he did was try and hold up the ball.. u could so tell.
• Samp : Possibly but the replay from the side shown after the decision. Benefit of doubt? No. Stripped backwards by Mino. I think. Penalty try?????
• stormRsooks-EELZ : three pointer, penalty try, try,no try or benefit doubt try no benefit no try ha
• stormRsooks-EELZ : so much
• stormRsooks-EELZ : couldve that been a thought
• stormRsooks-EELZ : penalty try ?
• Samp : The strip occured then Kenny grounded.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : was the 2nd guy that actually grounded it that got TRY
• stormRsooks-EELZ : folu didnt ground it
• Samp : That final replay was definitive no try. The video Ref did not see that when making his decision.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : so what if he left benefit of the doubt out off the damn thing try no try try benefit of doubt scrub it
• Guest_122 : wait wait.. kenny was awarded the try?? how does that work?
• stormRsooks-EELZ : NO TRY full stop
• Guest_122 : apprently robert finch agreed that the folau try should of been a try but benefit of the doubt.. does everyone agre??
• stormRsooks-EELZ : damn i wish when they reveal stuff in the game they should just wipe it all up with other clubs with the drug allegations and cap issues rather than drag it out in to disrepute... like when houston was sacked there was sed to b more n more guilty like hurry the f up or just LEAVE it
• Samp : Let's hope the Independent Commission brings some sanity.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : Well there is nothing wrong with how the game was just you have cheats that ruin it n ppl want it to end up really they way the crooks had it shaaaame
• Samp : Well Said. Where money is involved there are the unsavoury characters. And KW, yes the live betting puts a whole new perspective. Aye Aye to a good game.
• Guest_122 : so*
• Guest_122 : yeah good point KW.. and just saw u no i dont hate the broncos they r one of my favourite teams its just becasuue they were a good example
• KING WALLY : but its still a good game, just changed quite a bit.
• KING WALLY : thats why the footy was better before all the money crap started.
• KING WALLY : but thats how it works, that particular game wasnt rigged. but you can see how they can fix games. hey no one thought melb would shaft the cap by 3 mill, it happened. there are definately dodgy people involved in the nrl. where theres lots of money, theres crooks.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : im sure i saw it at one point near to $8 than straight back to near $2 after 1 try
• KING WALLY : yeh, as soon as mculloch scored from dummy half, bris were $1.35 and roosters were $5.50
• stormRsooks-EELZ : i was watched the rooster game on the scoreboard on nrl.com and the prices changed quite bit and quite largely ever try made
• KING WALLY : now im not saying that game was fixed, because it wasnt. a lot of calls went against roosters. but in some cases, like penrith -dragons game a few weeks back. panthers were paying $3.50 for a win. dragons "just happened" to get pulled up for 2 tries, for a forward pass, that would have won the game. not a forward pass to be seen. not even close.
• KING WALLY : i listen to a fair bit of footy on the radio on weekends, as i dont have fox. the other night when bris played roosters as soon as bris scored syd were paying $5.50 for a win.
• KING WALLY : hey manu and 122, i do agree that there is some dodgy things going on as far as refereeing decisions go and games being fixed, but i dont think its is to make brisbane, or any other team make the finals. there are disgraceful decisions in a lot of games. it happens to every team. i think it has a lot to do with sportsbet. betting on the run.
• Guest_2428 : clover moore bloked souths from making redfern oval there home ground and made it a comunity friendly ground.
• Manu Feltersnatch : Oh I see now, $19 million was spent by the City of Sydney Council
• Manu Feltersnatch : must have been an election yr the year Bunnies put in the proposal
• Manu Feltersnatch : Dunno but they spent a hell ova lot on it but dont play any games there but then you have Manly screaming out for cash to get more punters through the door ie More tax for the Gov and more cash for Manly but they cant get jack in funding
• Samp : What is the seating capacity of Redfern? May be that is why.
• Manu Feltersnatch : why did the bunnies get 20+ million off the state or who ever footed the bill to do up Redfern Oval but never play there ?
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : i rekn it will spin again to something completely different
• Samp : Thanks Wombat. RR mentioned it earlier but since then there have been others who want him.
• Wombat : My money is on the Broncos Samp
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : the only one i can see going good without storm would b GI
• Samp : How serious are the Bunnies in luring Inglis? Titans have made an offer as well. Brisbane is his choice but Broncs will not get into a bidding war. Good on the firm stance.
• Wombat : we will have to wait and see 1964 if he cant hold his form he may end up being remember for throwing the pass that lost the world cup
• Guest_1964 : pretty sure Slater will do well with whoever he plays with
• stormRsooks-EELZ : SAMES WOMBAT thats what im xcited for hahahah
• Wombat : It will be interesting to see how the storm goes and i can't wait to see how Slater goes in a side not full of internationals as that is all he has ever played with great player but can he keep form in a normal side.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : hope cronk n tuiaki rumour comes on... b interestin to see the storm stars in other clubs dnt think they'll be top notch as they r
• stormRsooks-EELZ : niice one 122
• Samp : I certainly hope that the refs are not coached to let certain sides have penaltys and leeway so that they can win. There are punters out there with $ on the games.
• Samp : Aren't forward passes from dummy halves being poilced? There have been so many that have been missed. And the correct play the ball with the foot.
• NRL=$$$ : i am guest_122.. i finally have a name!
• RickyRicardo : In all fairness 122, I was at that game and the Cowboys got a lot more leeway with some of the calls. Two of the Cows tries came off a forward pass, and Thurston and Watts through a lot of forward passes out of dummy half and first receiver.
• Wombat : don't worry it just clicked Brett Kimoreley
• Wombat : who is BK Ricky or anyone else
• Wombat : I agree that there was some bad calls in the Cowboys v Parra game 122 but they were both ways Thurston through numerious forward passes and two of then they scored off
• Guest_4733 : Bronx Goodwin to be at the DOGS 2011
• Guest_122 : nrl wants either dogs or eels to do the same thing as last year come back from nothing.. u no how much money they got from that $$$
• Guest_122 : look at eels vs cowboys.. how many bad calls did cowboys get.
• Guest_122 : yeah manu.. see thats what im trying to say.. and do you remember last week how i said something like this would happen.. but its not just broncos its other clubs to such as eels and dogs.. which every club gives them the most money they want them in the finals.
• Guest_122 : tuiaki will never be the same after the leg injury.. its a shame.
• RickyRicardo : Apparently a deal for BK to head to the Eels is sewn up as well.
• RickyRicardo : Ryan Tandy has also re-signed with the Bulldogs.
• RickyRicardo : Rumour has it that there will be also be a press conference on today confirming it, but I'm not too sure if that will go ahead or not.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : tuiaki niice
• RickyRicardo : Rumour has it that Tigers winger Taniela Tuiaki has signed with the Eels on a 1 year incentive based contract.
• RickyRicardo : FYI, News Limited owns substantial parts of both the Broncos and the Storm, not to mention that they have an incredibly large say in the NRL as they have shares in the NRL. Any decision that the NRL makes, directly affects News Limited, and anything that happens in general directly affects them as well. If anything, it's not the NRL that's pushing an agenda, it's News Limited that is pushing the agenda for the Broncos to make it as far as possible.
• Manu Feltersnatch : And while Im on points difference, thats what will decide if your team sees finals or not. This year is a total joke and I wont be remembering who won 2010. How can the league be fair when some teams have had to play Storm twice and subsequently effecting whether they get 2 points and the for and against ratio. Some teams play the bottom 8 twice some the top 8 twice. And how many games this year has the wariors had to play on a monday nite.The refs, the draw and Monday nites its a total sham.
• Manu Feltersnatch : The refs, NRL admin etc are kidding arn't they. How could that Isi F try be called a try, there has to be an enquiry into that one . I cant believe its getting swept under the rug and no-ones making an issue of it. Im starting to believe what 122 thinks ie The NRL and News ppl want Broncs in no matter what it costs. Imagine if that was the difference between Roosters or Broncs getting to the finals on Points difference.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : agree KW
• KING WALLY : HQ, thanks bud, i thought bris would smash them seeing as they were missing pearce and myles, was thinking they would not be organised at all. i was wrong! they played well, carney in particular, was untouchable. well deserved 2 pts. move on to next week, the mighty dragons!!! should be a cracker, but think the big red V will win at home. (well there 2nd home, lang park)gee they get some support up here!
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : broncos try a no try what are ref DOING!!!!!!
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : hope there not shocks anymore this season or only 1 a week lolz now im coming 2nd.....
• Happy Dragon : Thx everyone 4 your positive comments about the Dragons, the regulars would know it's about this time of the yr I do the "OKI CHOKEY SULK", LOL!
• Happy Dragon : Yes 3186 when they're on their game they can b, but they're not consistant enough!
• Guest_3186 : warriors are the best
• Samp : Sorry the Roos had 34 ineffective tackles
• Samp : How is this for stats from the game last night. In effective tackles made by Brocs was 15 and Roos was 15. Does this mean that Roos had 19 more fast play the ball?
• Hate Q : by the way buddy love your tip by 20 !!!!!! but what great game
• Hate Q : KW KW Kw mate mate mate I will never change colours lol will stick to my neloved bulldogs and support the blues but thanks for the invite im loyal but if the money is right who knows lol
• Wombat : Smith has been using the same game plan against the Broncos for years and it's still working, good win Roosters
• Manu Feltersnatch : I think the Broncs can take a positive from the game that being they have managed to score points unlike the dragons so next week should be interesting. But then the Dragons have kept the scores down to a bare minimum ie 35 points over their last 3 games so next weekend again really could be anyones HD.
• Manu Feltersnatch : I must admit Samp I assumed Roosters would lose due to the penalty count going against them every week and I subsequently tipped Broncos. I thought there apparent lack of discipline would lose out but as you said, losing the penalty count dont lose you the game and I think Brian deserves credit for a good game plan. Well Done roosters
• RickyRicardo : Oops, not the Panthers sorry, but rather the Dogs are after him.
• RickyRicardo : Steve Matai could be out of the Sea Eagles due to cap restraints. Sharks, Warriors, Panthers and Eels are rumoured to be looking at him.
• RickyRicardo : Eels are still pursuing Cooper Cronk despite the Storm telling the Eels to back off.
• RickyRicardo : Luke Patten will head to ESL club Salford at seasons' end.
• RickyRicardo : Brad Tighe is close to a deal with the Cronulla Sharks.
• RickyRicardo : Dallas Johnson is close to returning to the NRL with the Cowboys.
• Samp : HD the big red V will be after a win also after the loss to Titans.
• Samp : 122 the way I saw last night's game was that the Roosters got very fast play the ball and that gave them over the ad line and the roll on. Penalty counts does not necessary mean points. it depends where the penalty is given. There are lopsided penalty counts in a lot of games.
• Samp : Hi All we must remember that years back we were able to see about 3 games only on tele. Now we see all and slow mo replays. Refs calls are more under the microscope now than ever before. There were calls before all this tele that we would never see. But they need to get the video ref calls right.
• RickyRicardo : Michael Gordon has also re-signed with the Panthers.
• RickyRicardo : Dragons still have some fire in the belly HD, don't worry.
• Happy Dragon : I think the Dragons have gone, unfortunately?
• Happy Dragon : U won't have 2 worry about next wk KW, I don't give the Dragons any chance? The Broncs will b out 2 seek revenge after last nights loss, watch out Dragons I say?
• KING WALLY : not looking forward to next week.
• KING WALLY : yes 572, well deserved win. having an opinion on how the game will pan out isnt "running your mouth" congrats.
• KING WALLY : congrats roosters.
• KING WALLY : might be over for 2010?
• KING WALLY : wow, what a game. thought we were going to get belted big time, good come back in the end, but roosters to good. dodgy calls are a part of the game, it happens to every team, every week. roosters be hard to beat at full strength. dragons next week!
• Guest_122 : roosters won 36-22 in NYC.
• Guest_572 : Hey 121 u know results of Toyota cup 2night??
• Guest_572 : How very true 121. Get behind the Rooster evey1. Great game v Eels who R also in top form. Get out there & watch this game. Broncos will make the 8 & will B a team that will take a mighty effort to stop. Liked their fight back. I was a bit on edg in final 5 minutes.
• Guest_122 : no doubting broncos ability to oome back.. they did heaps good to come back.
• Guest_122 : the nrl want broncos, dogs and parra all in the finals beasue they give them the $$$$...
• Guest_122 : can any body remember be saying.. about how the nrl is so predictable.. the nrl wants team in the semis tht will give them money.. did anyone notice when i said before the match a few weeks ago the penatlies would be 7-2 in broncos favour... well look broncos win it 8-3.. plus roosters get a massive harsh call that was 100% no try.. if the nrl dont change. this is the last year i will be watching rugby league.
• Guest_572 : King Wally the name says it all. Looks like a big Wally now.You & eel zzzz run you mouth about the Rooster giving us no hope. Bring on the eels. The Dragons to put the cleaners next week 2.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : ranked 202 without tonights game mmmm alot would have carney too and dowall carney wouldve had cracker too

• −-−−EELZ−-−- : omg if brissy win omg what a game behind thousand to 1 lol
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : hahah all ya guys SEE the toyota cup game WARRIOR i think it was too busy celebrating too early and he got tackled in the try line and dropped it FUNNY of the year
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : broncos should give a fair thrashing tonight... hodges will b back in next fortnight? who will be moving on we his back
• KING WALLY : brisbane by 18.
• KING WALLY : i will be listening to the game on triple M, beer in hand cheering on the mighty brisbane broncos!! if we dont smash the roosters, saints will go marching all over us next week!! hey HD and HQ you guys are good enough to be qlders!! LOL. never bias like most are up here. up here they all get around wearing eye patches! LOL.
• KING WALLY : brisbane should win comfortably tonight if they are any chance of winning the biscuits, with myles and pearce both out. should win by 20 if they are going to be a threat. yes HD bellamy played for raiders while big mal was there.
• Guest_122 : Kalifa Fai Fai Loa, Kane Linnett and this other talented outside back junior lost by the dragons.. Gaz and Coops r costing alot of great juniours.. hopefully they both start playing some great footy becasue they owe the dragons.
• Guest_1127 : watch roosters vs broncos free
• Guest_1127 : «link»
• Guest_1127 : CMON ROOSTERS!@!!@!@
• Samp : Yeah See ya all...
• Hate Q : see you happy great chatting, im sorry samp im have to go as well see ya buddy
• Hate Q : well they have to let them play . look at the bulldogs a few years back, we cheated and it cots us a possible gf win , those sides we beat didnt get their points
• Samp : The Eels still have top 8 contenders Roosters,Titans, Broncos, Tigers,Rabbits and Warriors to play against.
• Happy Dragon : Sorry guys gotta go, hope 2 catch up soon, take care Hate!
• Hate Q : Well for the last few they did break the rules but he did turn slater from park footballer into a super talent, look at finch im not a fan of his at all,its the best fooball he has played for a long long time
• Happy Dragon : Yeah I'm with u Samp, they shouldn't b allowed 2 play, it's unfair 2 the rest of the teams!
• Happy Dragon : I really don't know who will make it, it's too close this yr to pick?
• Samp : I agree Hate and so have the coaches you mentioned. I m not against Him but the fact that it is not a level playing field as far as Melb is concerned at the moment.
• Hate Q : RR I still odnt rate your beloved eels yet
• Hate Q : yes he did happy he ws a lower grade player abd was offen on the bench for 1st grade
• Hate Q : samp you have to give credit he did turn a bunch of no names early in their careers abd now are super stars a good coach will do that.with the likes of bennett,gus gould,bozo fulton ,the late great jack gibson and to some extent brian smith
• Happy Dragon : Did Bellamy play 4 Canberra?
• Happy Dragon : Yes that will b definitely interesting Hate 2 c how the Storm go?
• Hate Q : same ithe bellemy he wasnt a hot head
• Samp : Bellyache needs to have a team under the cap to see if he can keep the record of his wood on othet coaches. Sorry won't go there again.
• Happy Dragon : I don't remember Elliot being a hot head when he played for Dragons, c what coaching does 2 u?
• Hate Q : we willsee how they do next year with less stars there
• Happy Dragon : Same as Bennett Hate, Bellamy has the wood on him also!
• Hate Q : samp elliott goes mad even if they lose the toss
• Samp : The Penrith team got a lashing from their coach over this round.
• Hate Q : a matt elliott coach side has never beaten a craig bellemy side
• Happy Dragon : U must b happy about your Eels RR, do u think they can go all the way again?
• Samp : If the Broncs win tonight, all 5 top teams would have lost in rd 20.
• Happy Dragon : I thought Penrith were on a roll also but now they've lost their last 2!
• Samp : Hope that the brocs win 2night to give me 4/8 at least.
• Samp : Hey RR. Is Inglis move really definate to the Broc?
• Happy Dragon : I've only got 4 Samp, of course Dragons let me down, I also tipped Warriors & Tigers, can't work Manly out either or Tigers 4 that matter?
• Hate Q : did anyone hear what some idiot bulldog supporter did at the eels game
• RickyRicardo : Howdy!
• Hate Q : hey rr
• Hate Q : im tipping the roosters tonight
• Hate Q : nah dont be not everyone can love , you have to be very special to love em, lol
• Samp : Had a look at the draw remaining and find there are lots of games that are the top 10 against each other. This will have a huge bearing on the top eight. I tipped the Warriors and the Doggies and got 3/7 so far.
• Hate Q : well well well happy no drinks for you lol i know down deep you love em
• Happy Dragon : Sorry Hate, u know how I feel about the dogs?
• Hate Q : yes they were what a topsy turvy comp its happened a lot this year one team leads by a massive margin and lose
• Happy Dragon : Yeah shame about your doggies Hate, NOT!
• RickyRicardo : The Warriors were hard done by in that game though.
• Happy Dragon : Wasn't Warriors leading 20-6 at one stage? I was happy because I'd tipped them but couldn't believe it when I saw the final score?
• Hate Q : hey samp
• Hate Q : they were great yesterday , i cant rate the eels yet they have to prove themslves against a stronger side
• Samp : Hi Again HD and Hi Hate.
• Happy Dragon : Hi Samp!
• Hate Q : they are a very strong side happy im very disappointed with the bulldogs this though they would have done better,
• Happy Dragon : The Bunnies can b very exciting 2 watch I must admit!
• Happy Dragon : Definitely, when I'm feeling better?
• Hate Q : ur still my number one , we still need to have drinks again lol
• Happy Dragon : Yeah I know Hate, they've still only had about 189 pts scored against them in 20 games, not bad?
• Hate Q : its a soft spot darling for them thats all
• Hate Q : he is a good bloke 4 a qlder lol his comments are good
• Happy Dragon : Shame on u 4 liking the Rabbits, lol!
• Hate Q : the lost did them a lot fof favours they cant keep on winning week after week they are the bench mark , look at their defence its close to less than 10 points a week
• Happy Dragon : I've missed u 2 Hate, we had some fun times Glad KW is back, he's a good guy 4 a Qlder, lol!
• Hate Q : shame you and KW are on and im not on love chatting about the footy
• Happy Dragon : My Dragons r looking shit at the moment Hate, I'm a bit worried?
• Hate Q : ive missed you and miss our chats ,
• Hate Q : Its been a while im fine very very busy starting my own buisness is good but long hours ny beloved buldogs are gone ur dragons are looking good but i have a soft spot for the rabbits
• Happy Dragon : Not good Hate, I've been sick 4 a few days How r u?
• Hate Q : hello happy hwo are you
• Happy Dragon : Woohoo hi Hate
• Happy Dragon : My daughter's basketball coach, who's daughter goes out with Paulo, told me earlier in the yr that he wasn't settling in too well as their wasn't much of an Islander culture down Wollongong way! I was just curious as he's not on the injury list or haven't seen him play?
• RickyRicardo : Wouldn't be surprised if he does HD. He's too injury prone.
• RickyRicardo : Broncos in a nail-biter.
• RickyRicardo : Only thing I can think of with Paulo is that he fell out of favour with Bennett.
• Happy Dragon : I keep hearing rumours that Coops could b retiring, don't know how true they r???
• Happy Dragon : I've tipped Broncs thommo, but doesn't mean I'm right? It's too hard 2 pick these days?
• Happy Dragon : I know Ricky, it's just disappointing! Also, do u know what's happened 2 Junior Paulo that signed with Dragons this yr, haven't heard anything about him 4 ages?
• thommo : who do yous guys think has tonites game
• Wombat : I would have let Cooper go he is near the end and kept Henry and Fai Fai
• RickyRicardo : Well Gas wanted to come back HD, and you have to shed some promising youngsters unfortunately. That makes Fai Fai and Henry the two big ones to leave.
• Happy Dragon : This is a joke, how can Doust keep letting these young guys go, he's the one that's gotta go!
• Happy Dragon : Oh no not another one, thx alot Gasnier
• RickyRicardo : years*
• RickyRicardo : Exciting Dragons prospect Kalifa Fai Fai Loa has signed with the Cowboys for two eyars.
• Samp : Hi Manu. Yes JL would have been happy with the win. Now we have to see if the injury woes at the back end of the season will keep them in the final eight.
• Samp : If Roosters win 2night, then they will be 3rd and the Broncos 9th. If the Broncs win Roosters will be 6th and Broncos 5th on PD. Crunch Game for both.
• RickyRicardo : Inglis is definitely headed to the Broncos after giving his verbal assurance.
• Manu Feltersnatch : Poor old Rabbits are injury plagued again though now with the big boy out with a collar bone break
• Manu Feltersnatch : I reckon JL would just be stoked to get a win and even happier that they showed some grit to come back
• Samp : meant his try
• Samp : Sandow celebrated hi try yesterday and I would say that Jonny Lang would have had a talk with him as he did it before the try.
• Samp : HD the 10 pin bowling was performed by the Blues against the Qld. Look who is laughing now.
• Manu Feltersnatch : Dissapointing about those random (apparent) Dogs fans that trashed that car especially after that report last week about the most loved team by woman are the dogs. All that hard work by the clubs admin and the good dogs supporters quickly gets tarnished
• Happy Dragon : My favourite was the ten pin bowling one, can't remember which team did it though?
• Happy Dragon : How bad would u feel? I do love the celebrations though, they need 2 bring them back! I think Nathan Blacklock & Mundine started it when they started 2 do backflips after scoring a try? Then it just kind of grew from there!
• stormRsooks-EELZ : haahah rabbitoh toyota cup player drops ball in his tryline too busy havin a celebration too early
• Guest_122 : myles and pearce ruled out tomorrow.. brisbane should win it easily.. but i guess there is never an easy win but still..
• Guest_122 : how good would u feel getting 8/8
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : hard getting more than 6/8 each week
• Guest_122 : ahh.. this is the tighest top 8 ever.. its so hard to tip and everything
• Guest_122 : wow, if roosters win they r tieing 2nd.. what a difference from last year to now.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : hope broncos win tomos nyt.... got only 2 wrong sooo far damn titans assholes n rabbits
• stormRsooks-EELZ : i didnt see any bad behaviour from supports dogs but dogs were very annoying i myt add
• Happy Dragon : If Broncos win 2mrw night, then 5 teams will b on 24pts! Gee I'm glad the Dragons r on top, maintaining the lead until the end is going 2 b hard?
• Happy Dragon : Can't believe the top 3 teams lost this weekend! If Roosters lose 2mrw night, then the top 5 teams including Warriors would have lost this weekend! This competition is way too close this yr, it makes footy tipping very hard!
• Happy Dragon : Is that true about the dogs fans Hate? If so, then it's disgraceful, they're nothing but scum!
• Happy Dragon : I don't know whether it's a "mental" thing or Bennett tells them 2 cruise along & not 2 wear themselves out? Hopefully he's got the answer before it's too late?
• Happy Dragon : Yeah I am over the moon they're coming first, they've played well 2 get where they r! I defend them constantly when people bag them & call them chokers, but I don't want this 2 b another "wasted" season? They need 2 prove 2 everyone they've got what it takes, it disappoints me when they go throught this same stage every yr!
• Hate Q : As a bulldogs shame on the dickheads who damaged eels supporters cars painting it blue n white and smashing windows grow you morrons no wonder other fans hate us,you bench of dickheads make it for the true fans,
• Hate Q : Hey happy, the lost is the best thing to have happen to the dragons,they cant win everyweek,they are still the bench mark,now that beloved bulldogs are offically on holidays im going to go for the rabbits to win the GF , I know its a long shot
• Guest_122 : HD, calm down.. your team is coming FIRST.. you should be over the moon!!! i think it's a better sign they r started losing now then later in the season when its time for the semis.. so its come at an alright time.. so be HAPPY
• stormRsooks-EELZ : it keeps changing with him last i heard it was a sealed deal staying
• Guest_572 : Is he staying with Raiders?
• Guest_572 : Hey guys what news on Dugan?
• stormRsooks-EELZ : Bloody Disgrace I Cant See Why Footy Players Just Can't Put There Hands Out So The Little Fellas Can Touch Them When Running On The Field.......
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : wants to no why thurston attempted to give a lil eel fan boy his hat when the lil fella refused than took it and threw it at him give it to a cowboy u tool
• −-−−EELZTITA : wen to parra dogs game omg the dog supports are sooo annoying with te mouth noises they make 35,000 i thought that was poor for a sydney game
• Happy Dragon : No worries guys, have a good one
• Happy Dragon : No worries KW, have fun with the kids!
• Samp : Same here. CUL8R. HD Big Red V is all good.
• Happy Dragon : I used 2 hate the Broncs, especially in the 90's, lol!
• KING WALLY : gotta go guys, kids begging to go to park!! off i go!!
• Happy Dragon : I also like Titans & Cows & quietly a soft spot 4 Broncs, I love Corey Parker, yummy!
• KING WALLY : is that right samp? i didnt know that.
• Samp : 2005 I think.
• KING WALLY : yes i agree samp, dragons are the benchmark across the park. when they are on, your in trouble. there defence is solid and they make ground like no one else.
• Samp : KW 5 years since the roosters played up in Bris.
• KING WALLY : i think you mean havent won in 5 yrs.
• Samp : KW I agree with the D of the Brocs. Dragons are also a good defensive team.
• KING WALLY : i never used to but lately they are my 3rd team, behind the cows and titans.
• Happy Dragon : I think they played there last yr Samp?
• KING WALLY : lol. i do like the big red V these days HD.
• Happy Dragon : Don't u belong 2 the Qld Dragons supporters club KW, LOL?
• Samp : I fouund that the last time the Roosters played up in Bris was 5 years ago. How about the Red V?
• KING WALLY : if bris can keep defending like they have, i think we are in for a shot, if they slacken off, they gone.
• KING WALLY : hey HD, not only do they have a good record there, its almost a home game for them!! heaps of support up here.
• Samp : Lets see the outcome of Monday's game before we decide what the Brocs are capable of and where they stand on the ladder.
• KING WALLY : if bris can put it to dragons, it will be a gauge on how we will finish i think. win or lose, as long as they turn up.
• Happy Dragon : Dragons have a good record there, but I'll b tipping Broncs next wk!
• Samp : The brocs have been good but they need to test themselves wit another grinding game. Bennet will not let the Red v into the finals with a team that is over the peak.
• KING WALLY : bris at home being the only advantage, will be a cracker of a game. big test for brissy samp.
• Happy Dragon : I hate them being favourites KW, 2 much pressure?
• Happy Dragon : Do u think so Samp, I thought the Dragons would b under pressure also?
• KING WALLY : still favourite to win the biscuits.
• Happy Dragon : They could of had a 6pt lead with Penrith also losing, what's happened 2 them?
• Samp : Truely next weeks game will be a test for the Broncs and not for the Red V.
• KING WALLY : i think when the time comes they will produce
• Happy Dragon : They've been cruising too smoothly KW & it's starting too show!
• KING WALLY : theyll be sweet, until they play brissy in the gf!! lol
• Happy Dragon : I'm a bit down with my Dragons KW
• KING WALLY : i dont think dragons r gone mate.
• KING WALLY : gday mate
• Happy Dragon : Oops sorry & Samp!
• Happy Dragon : Hi KW
• Happy Dragon : Yes Hayne is a talent, but such a show pony? His head is that big it's a wonder it fits on the footy field? I appreciate watching the talented players but hate the cockiness!
• Happy Dragon : Hey PP, KW'S allowed his opinion, just like u! He's right about Hayne at Origin level amongst a few others? Most of the Dragons boys were hopless in Origin, but r great at club level!
• Happy Dragon : Thx 4 your kind words KW, but I've given up hope? Don't think they'll make it 2 GF, another yr gone
• KING WALLY : i dont think bris will "smash" dragons HD, i hope we win but i think it will be a cracker! GF preview??
• KING WALLY : they will be ok HD, still clear of the pack, they are not choking,titans were in a do or die situation, your mob will be playing semis, and will have home semis. keep cheering bud.;)
• KING WALLY : thanks for your comments PP, but i will say what i want ok. and your little childish rants are quite humerous. im so glad there are people like you in the world, because it makes awesome people like me realise just how lucky we really are.
• Happy Dragon : I'm sick of this crap from the Dragons every yr, the only difference is this yr they're "choking" early! I can understand why everyone bags them but as a fan I'll defend them 2 the end! Your Broncos will smash them next wk KW?
• Pauline Pantsdown : here we Go again KW, why cant Hayne produce at origin level, if I were NSW I would blah blah blah, Id be looking at the future blah blah, WE FKN KNOW MATE YOUVE TOLD EVERYONE 100 FKN TIMES GET OVER IT!!!
• stormRsooks-EELZ : whoop 4/5 thankyou titans for fkn it lol
• Guest_122 : raiders nad cowboys won.. good work eelz!
• stormRsooks-EELZ : COME ON cowboys please win it
• stormRsooks-EELZ : raiders have a slack game geez cronulla having it so far close COME ON RAIDERS ha
• stormRsooks-EELZ : ARGH!!! titans
• KING WALLY : yeh mate, personally i think he has had plenty of time to produce at the rep level, if i were nsw id be looking for someone else. look at the future, hayne is a club player. in my opinion.
• Samp : These are the games to see what the results are. At the moment I have 0-2 in my tips.South Sydney Rabbitohs vs. Warriors Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles vs. Wests Tigers and Brisbane Broncos vs. Sydney Roosters
• Samp : KW I agree on the game last night but as discussed here, there aresome players who are excellent at culb level and not at Rep level. Maybe give hime time?
• KING WALLY : awesome game from hayne last night, now why cant he produce that effort more often, its a shame that he didnt inject himself into origin like he did last night. hes a great talent. when he wants to be.
• Guest_981 : Go the mighty eels
• Guest_122 : they have.. graham, bj, linnett, skd, and aubusson that all play centre? why would they want him? and apparently he wants to play centre thats y i said all of them..
• Guest_122 : alright cya mate.
• Guest_122 : really? but there is no room for him to play there?
• RickyRicardo : Cheers, and goodbye to all.
• RickyRicardo : Anyways, I'm off. Post any questions or thoughts out there, and when I'm here next, I'll reply to them all.
• RickyRicardo : He's most likely headed to the Roosters. That's the last I heard.
• Guest_122 : yea. so ricky do u have any more news on blake ferugson?
• RickyRicardo : often*
• RickyRicardo : pften*
• RickyRicardo : He isn't dynamic, and doesn't take it upon himself to change the game very oftne.
• RickyRicardo : Not even close. Soward doesn't suit the fullback role.
• Guest_122 : fullback*
• Guest_122 : he would probably be that same as carney at 5.8?
• RickyRicardo : He's a five-eighth. Simple as that.
• RickyRicardo : Soward doesn't have the tools required to play fullback.
• Guest_897 : soward should be fullback
• RickyRicardo : He must have thought the Titans would put the pressure on him Samp.
• RickyRicardo : He showed that he doesn't 122. Last year in the first two weeks of the finals, Soward went missing.
• Samp : Was there any reason for him to be so far back on the 5th tackle or was he expecting the Titans to be in his face tonight?
• Guest_122 : ive never really liked soward for some reason.. he never shows up for the bigs games.
• RickyRicardo : Soward has been a bit flat for my liking. Last year, he was always involved in as much as possible, and he was like a worm and weasel trying to gain as much as possible. It's almost as if his form has gone backwards now.
• Samp : True RR. There are several teams this year that can't provide that killer blow. Bunnies, Broncs and even the Titans.
• RickyRicardo : Well the Dragons didn't play too badly, but they seem to lack a killer blow.
• Samp : The Dragons can lose. Next week will be another test for them. The Eels are on a roll.
• RickyRicardo : Well the MNF are big ratings winners.
• Guest_122 : for a saturday game in the day.
• Guest_122 : I reckon they should get rid of monday night footy.
• RickyRicardo : Playing Monday Nights then backing up the Friday or Saturday is always tough.
• RickyRicardo : Well that first half from the Eels was as good as I've seen, so if they play like that for 50, evne 60 minutes, I reckon they can.
• Guest_122 : i think eels will do it becasue roosters have a terrible record after monday night.
• Guest_122 : tough match next week again roosters?? do u think they will win?
• RickyRicardo : Well I know that Hayne had 5 points after 10 rounds or something, but they close Dally M after Round 15 or 16 or something.
• Guest_122 : i think boyd has 18.. carney has 17.. hayne has 15?? just me guessing
• RickyRicardo : Hayne is probably chasing them down at this rate.
• RickyRicardo : There was a forward at the top from memory. Boyd, Luke, Carney, Lewis and someone else were there.
• Guest_122 : if eels continue then hayne def has a chance.
• Guest_122 : i actually think Todd Carney will win it becasue of issac lukes injury.. and i dont think boyd will do it.. who else is close to the top??
• RickyRicardo : He probably would have been sitting on 6/7 points tops. But he was on an amount close to that last year and won.
• Guest_122 : Probably.. how much did he have before?
• RickyRicardo : 9 points for Hayne in the Dally M Standings you'd think based on the last three Eels games?
• Guest_122 : ye it usually is
• RickyRicardo : Well generally the computer live scores have it pretty accurate.
• Guest_122 : cant wait to watch the end!!! well on the computer it says 90th minute so hopefully its right.
• RickyRicardo : 90th minute field goal. Wow! Talk about winning it at the death,
• Guest_122 : Rogers with the field goal in the 90th min
• Guest_981 : Thanks and good night from PNG
• Guest_122 : Titans 11-10.
• RickyRicardo : If it has, then you can yes.
• RickyRicardo : The game has finished now hasn't it?
• Guest_122 : Can i say who won? or if it was a draw?
• RickyRicardo : Well it was 10-10 all when I saw it and it was almost the end of extra-time.
• Guest_122 : yeah, hopefully he gets back to form next season.
• Guest_122 : wow good game by titans an dragons.. i wont say the score.. incase u dont no it yet.
• RickyRicardo : Tim Smith will probably stay, but he hasn't that killer effect the club wanted him to have.
• Guest_122 : Hayne 2 tries, Inu 2 tries and ben smith tries.
• RickyRicardo : 32-16 to the Eels. Good game that was.
• Guest_122 : 16*
• Guest_122 : 6
• Guest_122 : eels won 32-1
• Guest_981 : Any body knows the eels dogs score
• Guest_122 : Captain** not halfback
• Guest_122 : will tim smith leave?
• Guest_122 : ahh so lucky.. i was thinking about putting him as my halfback but i kept carney becasue he saved me last week!!
• Guest_981 : Did the eels win again tonight
• RickyRicardo : Well with Barrett retiring, he might play 5/8 and Scotty Porter could play the 7 role.
• RickyRicardo : Hayne was my captain, so I think I would have scored a good amount of points from him
• Guest_122 : very good signing by the sharks.. will he play 5.8 or halfback?
• Guest_122 : i just put hayne in my fantasy team this week!!! thank god!!!
• RickyRicardo : Wade Graham has signed with the Sharks.
• RickyRicardo : It'll be hard to go past Hayne for fullback of the week already unless someone outshines him in more ways than one.
• RickyRicardo : Still a good performance overall. The attacking flair is definitely back, and they seem to be relatively solid in defence.
• RickyRicardo : And the Eels are smart about the way they play. They pile on the points towards the start when they can, and then defend their line like there's no tomorrow when they have a big lead.
• RickyRicardo : What about that try-saving tackle from Hayne to deny Stagg? Incredible tackle.
• RickyRicardo : That has to be the fastest try this season surely?
• Guest_122 : eels wont get anywhere if they cant play 80 mins.. 40 mins isnt good enough
• Guest_122 : not again eels!!! why do u only play 40 minutes out of 80
• Guest_122 : HAYNE IS IN!!! wow best start of the season!!!
• Manu Feltersnatch : Whats the deal with the Storm. Does anyone think they are throwing games. They are a tipping nightmare lately.
• Manu Feltersnatch : A bloke I work with is good mates with the dogs trainer Tony Ayoub who said to him forget about the dogs this weekend, I was in a rush on my way to the train so I didnt ask him why I just took it in good faith.
• Guest_122 : might want to change ur tip hate.. pearce and myles in major doubt.
• RickyRicardo : The NRL is already working on developing some sort of salary cap exemption for long serving players. They're just fine-tuning it.
• Samp : Hi Guys. How about this. If a player has played 10(or X number) consecutive years for the one club, then only 50% of that player's salary svhould be included in the salary cap. This will free up cash for the younger plares coming thru.
• Hate Q : Hey guys Im tipping two upstes this week my beloved bulldogs and the roosters ,both games down to the wire
• Hate Q : Hayne is a talent i feel he needs better guidance , imagine what his performance would be like under bennett , gould , and the old master jack gibson , and bozo fulton, those guys are masters at their games bring the best of out a player, hate him or love him ballemy is up there as well.
• Happy Dragon : I'm with u KW regarding Hayne! No doubt he's talented, but he needs 2 b more consistant with his form 2 deserve all the hype! Some of the deluded Eels fans r worse than the media!
• KING WALLY : big game tonight HQ, im tipping your blokes for a win, am sooooooooo sick and tired of hearing about the hayne train, hes had 2 good games all yr and the media are putting his poster up again.
• KING WALLY : im all for it HQ, i definately think something has to be done to ensure the talent we have in aust stays here, and in league.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : would like to see the all stars game played in darwin or broome to spread it those areas are highly multicultural
• Hate Q : What do you all think of any team having a certain number of local products eg 10 per team that way a salary cap could be increased fro those players and if bought by an other club then that club must pay a transfer fee to the club losing their local product,also the panthers and jennings should be rewarded a void or a rejuice fee for signing for 5 years
• KING WALLY : haha mate actually he was a queenslander. a soft one!
• Guest_122 : they wouldnt of kept him with jamie soward.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : barrett shouldve stayed a red V
• stormRsooks-EELZ : just saw the green hiit he didnt evn hurt him wat a gee-up
• Hate Q : Hey KW I saw a quick i mean very quick reply on the news (the green fight ) did greens opponent come from the NSW origin squad lol
• Happy Dragon : All the best for the future Trent! He was my favourite player for a long time & I was devastated when he left the Dragons He's been a good role model on & off the field, couldn't get a nicer guy! Shame his career has ended with a club that's had so many probs, thx 4 giving us Dragons fans plenty 2 cheer about over the yrs!
• Guest_122 : 29 seconds it was!
• Guest_122 : yeah i know aye KW.. but maybe that guy new he was going to get killed so he faked it?
• KING WALLY : i know this is nrl unrelated but did anyone see the danny green fight last night?? if you blinked youd have missed it. i dont even think the guy was hit. it was fixed, for sure. really hope i am wrong about the same thing happening in league, but dont think i am.
• Wombat : Barrett is going to move bacjk to Temora
• Guest_122 : Cronulla captain Trent Barrett confirmed he will retire at the end of this season after 15 years where he played for St George Illawarra, Wigan and the Sharks.
• Guest_122 : yeah me too, i would like to see that.
• Manu Feltersnatch : Rick, where can you find stats on things like, Teams that have won under certain refs, eg Id like to see how many games Roosters have won under Archer this last 2 years. Manly once had a thing going where they couldnt lose un Shayne Haine
• RickyRicardo : You're welcome.
• Guest_2611 : Okay, thank-you RickyRicardo ! your support is gratfully accepted
• RickyRicardo : That is correct yes.
• Guest_2611 : how come cowboys have only won 4 ( correct me if im wrong ) and have 12 points..? ohh wait byes count as 2 poits each, true?
• RickyRicardo : A team gets two points if they win.
• Guest_2611 : does anyone know how many points a team gets if they win (on the ladder)..?
• RickyRicardo : Again, this is not the place to talk about relationships 894.
• Guest_894 : Do you have a girlfriend Ricky Ricardo?
• RickyRicardo : Jeremy Smith is close to signing with the Sharks.
• RickyRicardo : Not the place to talk about relationships 894. Only NRL related talk.
• Guest_894 : ?
• Guest_894 : I'm in love with my ex girlfriend. Can someone help me
• Wombat : Qld FOGS are behind the third party deal to get Inglis to anyone of the Qld teams.
• Happy Dragon : Oh dear, could b another good player we lose? I luv Gaz, but hope hes' worth his money?
• RickyRicardo : He's been dropped. Simple as that. Probably to make way for Gaz.
• Happy Dragon : It's good 2 c new people on here, it's always interesting hearing other people's comments!
• Happy Dragon : He's not listed in under 20's or on injury list, Ricky do u know anything on Kyle Stanley?
• Happy Dragon : Hey Guest 2964, like Wombat said I also heard that Bennett was "resting" Stanley as he'd been working his butt off with Cooper being out & also during Origin! Maybe Bennett is "giving him a break" so he's fresh 4 finals time or like Wombat also said, he's been dropped?
• Manu Feltersnatch : they are a weird mob at the Eagles, I dont know if they just have it too good on the Nth Beaches and think they can coast along but they need a rocket up them at the mo
• Manu Feltersnatch : and his time is coming
• Manu Feltersnatch : sorry I mean I feel dessy dosnt have that spark any more
• Manu Feltersnatch : pity but he shoud go coz I cant see Manly doing to well over the coming yrs. I feel Dessy dosnt have the time is coming too
• RickyRicardo : He's an average player at best to be honest.
• Manu Feltersnatch : CB came to eagles on the back of some great form then it just disintegrated, hes just not reaching his potential at eagles HQ
• RickyRicardo : Chris Bailey is rumoured to be on the Sharks radar.
• RickyRicardo : Ah ok. Even then, I don't think the QLD FOGS would have too much direct association with club teams in QLD unless they have a role there already.
• RickyRicardo : That's a new one on me 122. Haven't heard that at all.
• Wombat : Degener8 is talking about Qld FOGS RR and yes D the cowboys are entitled to the deal aslo
• Guest_122 : is it true that parramatta are after mitchell pearce and jared weaera hargreaves?
• RickyRicardo : It was just to announce the CEO.
• Degener8 : any update from teh storm announcement or was it just the CEO?
• RickyRicardo : AT least the FOGS that I know and understand work collectively for NSW, and their aims for 2011.
• RickyRicardo : The FOGS are associated with mainly Origin and not club teams. Whilst members of FOGS may be tied down to some sort of club duty, collectively, they work together for the NSW team.
• Degener8 : how are the FOG $$ into broncos and titans tied in the salary cap.. and are the cowboys eligible to get this
• Degener8 : hmm former ceo from Verizon i think...
• RickyRicardo : Apparently the new Storm CEO is Ron Gauci. His name doesn't ring a bell though.
• RickyRicardo : Former Origin Greats? They're just doing what they can to get involved really.
• Degener8 : another q whats with this FOG money
• Degener8 : Will be an interesting run home to the finals.
• Samp : Hi you all. Have been following all you comments and thought that I will share ssome thoughts as well. Yes there are some games that you watch that seem that the Refs have been pre adviced but if the other team gets up then the bias by the Refs cannot be sustained. Melb have the card in their hands to decide the teams 4-8.
• Degener8 : You think Inglis will go?
• RickyRicardo : Melbourne's press conference is to reveal their new CEO.
• RickyRicardo : Possibly about Inglis's signature. Melbourne Storm to hold their own press conference with a major announcement at 2:15 pm.
• RickyRicardo : Corey Norman has re-signed with the Broncos for 2 years. Bris to hold a press conference at 2.
• Guest_2964 : I agree,Ilooked on St.George website and it reads he was replaced at game time by Nick Emmet who was on the bench.I think it is Bennetts way of pull your head in young fella and worry about your own game.
• Wombat : They say he is being rested which is a nice way of saying you are dropped with Gaz there now and Cooper back.
• Guest_2964 : Anybody know what has happened to Kyle Stanley,not in team and looked to see if injured. Has he spat the dummy with Big Gaz returning.
• Wombat : Morning and good research Manu
• Manu Feltersnatch : Im not the president of the Maloney fan club, LOL, I just looked all that up on Wikipedia
• Manu Feltersnatch : Maloney was born in Orange, was a Nth Sydney Bears Junior, joined Eels 2007 and played alot of 2008 for Wenty Magpies, then Joined the Storm 2009 but played mostly for Central Coast Storm
• Manu Feltersnatch : Morning all
• Wombat : The Refs have had some very poor games but i feel a bit for the onfield Refs as they keep trying to make the game faster and it's very hard to keep a eye on everything,i think the video ref hast to be more input when the wrong call is clearly made.
• Hate Q : Hey all the refs have been very poor this year,in all games you will get good and bad decisions for and against your team,look at sundays game how many bad decisions the roosters copped,as a bulldogs follower would it have given the team a false indication if we (the bulldogs) had won ,
• Wombat : Not sure where Maloney is from but he was a Parramatta junior and he is on their radar to comeback.
• Happy Dragon : I thought we were ripped off in that game also KW? Don't like 2 say it cause people think you're a sore loser? Penrith were offside the whole game, but funny how none of the officials noticed?
• KING WALLY : dont think it happens all the time, just certain random games.
• KING WALLY : in such a close comp, it doesnt take much of an advantage to get one side over the line, 12 points is a massive advantage to have taken away. the dragons could have changed the way they played the rest of that game.
• KING WALLY : i agree with you to an extent 122, i do think that in some games they are fixed, not all, but some. for eg, dragons V penrith a few weeks back, dragons should have won the game, but were denied 2 tries that were pulled up for forward passes that were nowhere near forward, both teams were clear of the pack on points and both sides were depleted. refs dont see forward passes when they are forward. and, the panthers were paying $3.80 for a win.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : smith is a tool of the lot
• stormRsooks-EELZ : b interesting to see how the 4 guys go away from each other see how talented they really are
• Guest_122 : and if eels do get cronk.. well best buy of the 2011 season then.
• Guest_122 : they can build there team around Cronk
• Guest_122 : without*
• Guest_122 : out of billy, gi, cronk and smith.. i rekon there most important player to stay is Cronk.. i no everyone is think Smith.. but geez with cronk they play poorly.
• stormRsooks-EELZ : i rekn eels will get cronk and gi is gone to broncos so that 2 gone
• Guest_122 : imagine that whole team playing together.
• Guest_122 : good comments too.

• stormSOOKSEELZ : this one is nicer
• EELZ : haha i shuld but some nice guys were offended
• Guest_122 : y dont u go back to qldsruncivilised ?
• EELZ : and sometimes doesnt
• EELZ : nuh it just sometimes does it
• Guest_122 : oh didnt u do that?
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : i wouldnt have a clue y it does that
• Guest_122 : true that.
• Guest_122 : may i ask. why u have minus & minus in ur name?
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : price u only no him in origin
• Guest_122 : ye even brent tate.
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : witt, moon, kemp all went to warriors and were big things
• Guest_122 : yeah i guess your right.
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : warriors is kinder desserted over there so many future stars have gone over there and never train on and are no longer big names
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : yeh true true
• Guest_122 : that would be an awesome rival warriors vs new nzl team
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : i think 1 is enough in nz
• Guest_122 : a new NZL team?
• Guest_122 : thats ashame.. i would like to see league spread around australia once they start getting the refs sorted out
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : Aw yeh even different state but i dnt think will b successful enough
• Guest_122 : what about south of australia?
• Guest_122 : or a new penrith team?/
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : i also want at least 1 or 2 more clubs open in qld or south off sydney or south of newi
• Guest_122 : and newtown jets
• Guest_122 : get rid of storm and bring back bears.
• Guest_122 : yeah i rekon storm should just quit and leave.. no body is ever going to take them seriously again.
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : yeh well i just hope the split storm up and just dont cut pays or i wont b watching the game... they make a HUGE deal than just cut pays would be a huge JOKE
• Guest_122 : i reckon they need a new coach too. neil henry doesnt suit cowboys.
• Guest_122 : they have a great squad for next season.
• Guest_122 : yeah.. but next year cowboys will be great.
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : nuh they wont the easiet should be cowboys these dayzzzz
• Guest_122 : i dont really think titans and roosters will be easy for u guys.
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : indeed dogs roosters titans cowboys thatll be easy i hope and nz
• Guest_122 : they should go alright. but they r vsing some tough teams.
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : eels have fair bit travelling after next week... g.c.townsville n NZ
• Guest_122 : yeah.. its hard to keep watching.
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : sames 122
• Guest_122 : Ricky mate, i wont watch another game of league if they dont change for the 2011 season.
• Guest_122 : yeh, ill try not to thanks.. cya mate.
• Manu Feltersnatch : haha, dont let the bastard get to yu, take it easy, cya
• Guest_122 : alright mate. cya later.
• Guest_122 : ive been stuck in australia getting angry about every choice they make.
• Manu Feltersnatch : Im gona go bro, check yu during the week no doubt
• Guest_122 : haha no problem
• Manu Feltersnatch : spent to long in UK and picked up their lingo lol
• Manu Feltersnatch : fair enough I mean
• Manu Feltersnatch : fair play
• Guest_122 : yeah same.. but i have something agaisnt the refs
• Manu Feltersnatch : I love it but Im not goung to get my knickers in a twist over it
• Manu Feltersnatch : I have nothing against any team, its just footy
• Manu Feltersnatch : yeah for sure, dont bother me
• Guest_122 : btw i have nothing agasint broncos or roosters.. im just saying there teams becasuue its a good example.
• Manu Feltersnatch : I dunno, I feel you but its hard to sy its the NRLs influence
• Guest_122 : but do u understand wat im saying about the refs?
• Guest_122 : i reckon broncos will win.. i just tipped roosters for an upset..
• Manu Feltersnatch : that will be the difference in that game youd be mad to take rooters but we will see
• Manu Feltersnatch : Well we are talking about the least penalised side in the comp so odds on you re rite
• Guest_122 : i dont reckon they hate teams.. i rekon they do it for the money.. watch on monday roosters vs broncos.. the nrl want broncos in the finals for the money.. watch the refs the penatlies will be 10- 2 or something
• Manu Feltersnatch : Luke makes abig difference to sths, I hi=ope they can hang onto the ball this week, that was really the only difference last weekend
• RickyRicardo : It's not a question of a ref hating a certain team, they just make the calls as they see it.
• Manu Feltersnatch : maybe ppl dont cry out as its like the Fed election, dammed if you do, nothing ever happens
• RickyRicardo : Luke is back in a few weeks from memory.
• RickyRicardo : So the refs are simply calling it as they see it, though it might not always be right.
• Manu Feltersnatch : true dat
• RickyRicardo : If there was any evident bias towards a team, there'd be an outcry over it.
• Manu Feltersnatch : Youve gota question it dont yu
• RickyRicardo : 122, stick at it. 2011 promises to bring about some changes to the referee system that will make the game flow.
• Guest_122 : wat about last night the NRL wants tigers in the finals.. see wat they did to tigers look at the penalties 7 to 2.. cowboys wont even that bad.
• Guest_122 : oooh another thing bout the refs.
• Manu Feltersnatch : whens Isac luke back
• Guest_122 : ricky mate.. why does the refs hate manly and roosters?
• Manu Feltersnatch : Any Gos Rick
• Guest_122 : ye i was thinking that.. very good side they have.
• RickyRicardo : Not sure where he's from, but Maloney was a journeyman that's for sure
• Manu Feltersnatch : I reckon Warriors mite be a dark horse this or next yr
• Guest_122 : good young fella.
• Guest_122 : ohk ye thought so.
• Manu Feltersnatch : Rick will correct me if Im wrong on that butIm sure hes from Centy Coast
• Manu Feltersnatch : Central Coast boy but yeah via Storm
• Guest_122 : yeah he has.. did he come from storm?
• Manu Feltersnatch : hes been a good find for them
• Manu Feltersnatch : Maloney
• Guest_122 : seymour? johns? moleny?
• Manu Feltersnatch : I think the Warriors HAlf, cant remeber his name, but hes the most penalised player
• Guest_122 : ye true,
• Manu Feltersnatch : I think the storm dont help themselves with their attitude since all the drama
• Guest_122 : storm?
• Guest_122 : the refs hate manly and roosters.. anyone else?
• Manu Feltersnatch : yeah I dont know how Roosters have copped it so bad, they play pretty decent footy and arent that dirty
• Guest_122 : yeah thats a good sign towards the future
• Manu Feltersnatch : one positive from this year is the players seem to have cleaned up there act a bit (touch wood) ie not getting oin as much trouble
• Guest_122 : yeah i was looking at that.. i am really shocked but at roosters.. they have won 2 out of 17 games this year.. but they r not penalised the most?? thats pretty wierd.
• Manu Feltersnatch : yep, well according to NRL.com today, Manly are most penalised so they must all hate Manly
• Guest_122 : but their still getting it wrong.
• Guest_122 : which is stupid.
• Guest_122 : yeah true mate. i think it just favours in ur team depending which the ref likes better.
• Manu Feltersnatch : I think considering there are 4 officials plus video it should be much better
• Manu Feltersnatch : but then its hard to compare that era to now as the rules have changed a fair bit
• Manu Feltersnatch : but Id like to se stats from say 80s compared to now
• Manu Feltersnatch : Its tough to say, I mean I think ppl re far more critical becoz of video replays and such
• Guest_122 : mate, how do u feel about the refs? u rekon they have improved? gotten worse?
• Manu Feltersnatch : If they distribute money unevenly then thats as much a rort as Storm debacle
• Manu Feltersnatch : yeah I have no idea about who gets what, I think they give the storm kick backs for being so far south
• Guest_122 : the nrl lovessss broncos.. they give them the most money.
• Manu Feltersnatch : for sure, News Limited mate, if your a player you really need to be playing for one of thir teams
• Guest_122 : yeah i no.. they would of done fire works and everything..they would probably even do a commerical about them
• Manu Feltersnatch : I feel for Noddy
• Manu Feltersnatch : If that was Cam smith or locky I bet a big deal wouldve been made
• Guest_122 : yeah i no.. they dont care about the players unless they give them money.
• Manu Feltersnatch : pityful
• Manu Feltersnatch : I cant believe they didnt make a big thing of Noddys 300
• Manu Feltersnatch : yeah I see ur point re Marketing
• Guest_122 : yeah i just tipped knights becasue usually a team wins after getting smash.
• Guest_122 : in the next few weeks.. if i see the nrl doing the same, i will no longer support nrl.. i have had enough of the refs and all the marketing people an ceo's, all they want is the money.. even if a team is doing great they'll get the refs to end it for them.
• Manu Feltersnatch : thats alot of travelling for the knights in 2 weeks
• Manu Feltersnatch : Cowboys have points in them
• Manu Feltersnatch : really reckon knights can bounce back over CBoys
• Manu Feltersnatch : yeah I will take Dragon and broncs
• Guest_122 : nrl want the money.. they wanted bulldogs to do a parramatta so they will get loads of money..
• Guest_122 : no offence.. i love the broncos.. but nrl wants them in the semi.. they'll do watever they can to make them beat roosters this week and next week who ever they r vsing.
• Guest_122 : the refs will have their say.. so ill change my tips to dragons to beat titans.. and broncos to beat roosters becasue of the refs...
• Guest_122 : BUT
• Guest_122 : im tipping - titans, eels, sharks, panthers, knights, rabbitohs,manly and roosters.
• Manu Feltersnatch : does anyone trust the storm to be able to win this weekend, they are a tipping nightmare
• Guest_122 : no worries mate.
• Manu Feltersnatch : I dont think Sharks can bounce back against the raider but then stranger things have happened
• Manu Feltersnatch : Yeah KW its been since 2003 since Broncs had a home game against the roosters, and roosters only winning twice in all that time, once in 2003 and this yr.
• Manu Feltersnatch : Sorry 122 I wasnt having a go, I was saying theres not alot that have. I didnt mean to come across narky if I did.
• Guest_122 : scott porter back in the sharks team.. good news, he was playing some good footy when they dropped him.
• Guest_122 : i would of went to that match if it was a friday..
• Guest_122 : bet your proud of your broncos?? they r doing well. they hav a tough match againt the roosters this week.. sucks that its on monday.
• Guest_122 : sup yea bro.. havent seen u on here in ages man.. u prob dont no who i am anyway cause im a guest...
• Yeah bro : hey peeps...been a while....whats doing....SHARKS are specials this week ag the RAIDERS!
• KING WALLY : cheers RR. just wish hed sign already!lol. where ever he goes, he will lift that side massively.
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : I swear this shoutbox is flogged by girls with all this bitching and UMM they better not cut ther top 4 players pay just to keep them in storm that is WRONG they shouldnt have made a big deal out off it if they just gunna cut pays
• RickyRicardo : Also expect a decision on Matai's future to be made tomorrow.
• RickyRicardo : Well GI is 50/50. His heart is in QLD, but his loyalty is with the Storm who have stuck by him. The Storm still have about 3-4 k to cut, so Inglis may have to make way. Broncos are still in the hunt for him.
• KING WALLY : RR, whats the news on GI, first hes coming, then hes going, then there is nothing said for days!! WHATS GOING ON GI?
• Guest_122 : furner is another one.
• Guest_122 : well sorry then.
• Manu Feltersnatch : how many have would be a better question
• Manu Feltersnatch : stone
• Manu Feltersnatch : henry
• Manu Feltersnatch : moore
• Manu Feltersnatch : Technically Belly Ache shouldnt have
• Manu Feltersnatch : Brian Smith
• Manu Feltersnatch : whats his face
• Manu Feltersnatch : Roosters coach
• Guest_122 : how many coaches in the nrl havent one a premiership?? the current coaches btw.
• Manu Feltersnatch : I like Ricky, he tried his heart out I reckon, pasionate thats for sure
• Manu Feltersnatch : I hope Ricky has a better time at Sths
• Guest_122 : wonder how ricky would go over there.
• RickyRicardo : Another rumour is that Ricky Stuart is set to coach Souths, with John Lang moving back to his former role as coaching director.
• RickyRicardo : Also, rumour doing the rounds that Jason Nightingale has signed with the Bunnies for 3 years.
• RickyRicardo : Unless someone goes to him, he can't step in. Graham Annesley deals with that stuff anyways.
• Guest_122 : cant daivd gallop stand in?
• RickyRicardo : Again 122, if the entire referee's association don't agree, then Finch can't do anything. He just talks on behalf of them all. Yes he holds a high position, but you need majority to have a ref dropped.
• Guest_122 : finch*
• Guest_122 : im just angry becasue it seems like when ever the refs make a disgraceful call they dont get suspended or nothing if i was robert find ben cummins and badger would be gone straight away
• Guest_122 : cant he see the ladder?? one loss and you can drop out of the 8.. its really tight this year.
• RickyRicardo : That's just Finch speaking on behalf of the entire Referee's association. Doesn't mean that he believes it.
• Guest_122 : that made him sound like the biggest idiot ever..
• Guest_122 : "There are 24 games that adjudicate whether you make the semis -- not one," Finch said.
• Guest_122 : really? i just saw this... «link»
• RickyRicardo : I actually have to give credit to Finch. My sources tell me that he was the only person associated with referees that wanted to stand Badger down, but he was the minority.
• RickyRicardo : No need to use caps either 1676.
• Guest_122 : when is david gallop going to sack robert finch??? his a disgrace
• RickyRicardo : Thanks Manu. Never actually read the Zen book as such, but I guess it's easy to relate Zen to everything really, so I just did it to League, haha
• RickyRicardo : Watch the personal insults. That applies to everyone!
• Guest_122 : can we just talk some footy?
• Guest_1676 : HEY COF DA LOSER−-−YOU ARE DEPRIVING A VILLAGE OF A IDIOT.
• Guest_1676 : YOUR RIGHT MANLY SUPPORTERS HAVE NO IDEA
• Guest_1676 : EWFWAE
• Wombat : Every now and then we get someone on here that wants to take things way past football talk lets just keep it to football no need to get into gutter talk show some respect
• Cof da Mgic Dragon : fark you Manooooo
• Manu Feltersnatch : dick
• Cof da Mgic Dragon : anyway, we'll see who chokes and who dosnt even after the fat "lady" has sung, oh then again it sounds like she has, LOL, ROFL.
• Manu Feltersnatch : fair call, now go away please
• Cof da Mgic Dragon : yeah I enjoy ruffling feathers, Im mean if its ok for a 'lady' to label every sea eagles supporter "think they are better than everyone else" and the most hated club then I cant see any harm in calling dragons chokers
• Cof da Mgic Dragon : King WAllygog, Im here coz I like the inside info that Rick has and then theres bagging everyone out.
• Manu Feltersnatch : Easy Tiger!
• Cof da Mgic Dragon : haha, lady, yeah, just coz you have a vag dont make you a lady. Your to lame to be called a man so I dont know what you are but definitely not a lady
• Cof da Mgic Dragon : and there you go HD, you cant go saying ppl are entitled to their opinion and you dont let copping abuse and then back yourself with abuse, your a joke, I wont say a joke like all Dragons supporters coz thats not true. You are a hypocrite and a pathetic person for resorting to exactly what you dont like so eat $h!t my love.
• Manu Feltersnatch : very Zen Rick, I like it.
• Wombat : Good one HD, what a weekend of footy should have been called the comeback round
• Happy Dragon : Thx 4 calling me a lady Wombat, u don't know me very well do u, LOL!
• Happy Dragon : Like I suggest 2 everyone else on here, if u don't like what people have 2 say, then u know what 2 do???
• Happy Dragon : So you're a Manly supporter CdMD, well that says it all? Typical comments from Manly fans, think they know everything, think they're better than everyone else? Even with all the Storm crap going on, I'm sure Manly r still the most hated club in the NRL?
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : benji is just careless kicker... hey do i need my name back as QLDuncivlised ha
• RickyRicardo : oneself*
• RickyRicardo : All of that creates an awareness and knowledge for the game, that in turn, fires up the passion inside onself.
• RickyRicardo : For the record, in my view, being passionate about your team comes with having knowledge about your team. You don't support a team as much as you do if you don't know players names, or don't keep track of player movements in your team, attending games etc.
• RickyRicardo : No personal attacks either. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
• RickyRicardo : Enough of the negative banter. It tarnishes what this shoutbox is about. Discussing ideas in a calm and civilised way.
• Guest_122 : ??
• KING WALLY : i get sick of dickheads.
• Guest_122 : Benji 1/6 lol wats going on.
• Guest_122 : Well cowboys r officially over.
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : come on cowboys dont let me get another wrong
• KING WALLY : only thing he is passionate about is his "operation".
• KING WALLY : well said wombat, old mate is just an idiot. and who really cares what he thinks anyway. NOT I. have a nice life.
• KING WALLY : so why are you here then mr dragon hateing womanly supporter?
• KING WALLY : sorry, post try!,
• KING WALLY : post match bud.
• Manu Feltersnatch : ?? pre match try celebrations ??
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : DAMN bring back the pre match try celebrations damn it
• Manu Feltersnatch : Yeah for sure they are looking sharp, a bit worrying the defence if you take that scoreline into consideration but yeah I like their atack
• Wombat : He has looked very comfortable there the last couple of weeks 122 they are looking very dangerous with the ball.
• Guest_122 : anasta is home at lock. roosters look deadly now with carney, pearce an anasta all searching for the ball.. great attacking options.
• Wombat : HD is a lady and who is writing 3 page essays, we are all passionate fans or we wouldn't be on here and for all regulars i think everyones opinion counts
• Cof da Mgic Dragon : Good win by x, Storm are cheats, Storm games shouldnt count, hayne sux, haynes great, Refs are crap, blah blah blah same old around the coffee pot stuff, yawn
• Cof da Mgic Dragon : BTW, I do watch every game, but then who cares, I dont take your comments seriously anyway, I mean you are 3 guys (hate, KW and HD) or what I think are guys (acting like girlfriends), lol, out of maybe 500 000 footy fans, oh but you are onkly being passionate ROFL.
• Cof da Mgic Dragon : dont worry 183, you have to have been on here almost 24/7, be able to write 3 page esays about the same old stuff, be "passionate" according to the awesome 3some and a chum of the awesome 3some to be able to have your own opinion and then thats open to slander at the discretion of the Awesome 3some
• Cof da Mgic Dragon : Im definately not jealous either, I like what the dragons have done, its about time they got up there even if they have had to buy their way to the top as what they were doing clearly wasnt working
• Cof da Mgic Dragon : crap, Im an idiot now, Im confussed by you unsensative nature HD, I guess your just being pasionate, you really shouldnt take this so seriously mate, relax I go for Manly mate and take $h!t all the time so you dont have to tell me about having thick skin
• Wombat : Hayne probably does the flying for the crowd and because he feel good much like Blacklock used to do backflips or Hodges throwing the ball at the oppisition or Lewis giving a verbal spray Riddell jumping into the crowd the list goes on even Langer dancing on tables in he undies, imagen if the players showed no emotion how boring even worst the crowd not cheering that maybe the type of game for you Diniel, i love the passion from players and fans in league if i didn't i would go watch Chess
• KING WALLY : good win by chooks hey guys, ten minutes after first half i thought they were gone!
• Guest_122 : it's better that we just have a group of people on here instead of thousands.. we wouldnt be able to keep up with everyone
• Guest_122 : ah yes me too
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : so many ppl in this world and this site can have no one at it for hours and hours amazes me
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : Inu try was weird i thought he got held up they way he acted
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : that looked a good game i just watched the score on nrl.com thankgod roosters came back was sure they wouldnt wen i lookd they was too far behind with 10min to go wouldve been a good bet they were $6 to 1
• Guest_122 : WOW what a game!!! good stuff chookies. showed alot of heart. man the refs nearly stuffed u up.
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : ROFL knights suckers RAAAAAAAAIDERS!! !!!!!!!
• −-−−EELZ−-−- : How Many Off You Guys Watch Every Single Game On Weekends Like MEEEEEE
• KING WALLY : i think the storm will start to lose interest now. i just hope inglis doesnt get injured through the rest of the yr, stoked hes signing with bris. (thats if it comes off)
• KING WALLY : dont worry HD, these people probably only watch the dragons twice a yr, cos they probably only watch there team play, therefore they wouldnt have a clue.
• KING WALLY : was a good try by hayne, superstar stuff, its just a shame for nsw that he can only do it in the club games. but with a defensive line that is staggered like it was, anyone with a bit of footwork and speed could do it. great player though, i agree with u diniel, he is up himself and over rated.
• Happy Dragon : Yes u r, but the "chokers" tag is old, boring & unfair! Where is your team on the ladder idiot? Us Dragons fans r proud of what our team has achieved since Bennett took over.

• Hate Q : Hey KW believe the broncos do have a lot of support down there,for example my beloved bulldogs are hated one way or an other so if the broncos clash with the dogs you will find a lot os support for the broncos,i use to cop heaps when ever we lost even by other sydney team supporters ,thats because we have a great game and good rivalry is good for the game
• −-−−EELZTITA : brissy Vs dragons g.f brissy win

• Guest_122 : how good will cowboys back line look next year -
• Guest_122 : KW i hope your happy.. i rekon he could become the worlds best fullback.. broncos should try him out there but i guess they need a centre.
• Guest_122 : just saw it on foxsports.
• Guest_122 : Melbourne Storm superstar Greg Inglis is tipped to sign a multi-year deal with the Brisbane Broncos on Monday.
• Guest_183 : Hmmm, i can smell it somebody is going to choke soon...
• KING WALLY : yes HD, what a great game rugby league is.
• KING WALLY : must learn to pace myself in the first game!! wife woke me up, sprwled out on lounge. LOL.
• KING WALLY : hahaha, hey i also was out of my chair HD! great win by bris, rock solid defence, titans were down our end for most of the first half. though i thought we were lucky to be awarded the winterstein try, i thought he was offside. fell asleep through the dragons game, to many cans!!!;)
• Happy Dragon : The Dragons worry me also, cruising too much at the moment, need to lift their game!
• Happy Dragon : How did the Dragons get away with that win? Souths should of put them away & couldn't do it! Was out of my chair & raving like a lunatic for the last 10mins, gee I love my footy! Broncs r looking good KW, they worry me they do?
• −-−−EELZTITA : damn rabbits but thankyou broncos
• Guest_122 : billy slater rumoured to roosters and matt rogers rumoured to sharks but likely to retire.
• −-−−EELZTITA : WOOO rabbits keep me pround 1/1 in tippn
• Guest_122 : soft try.. good stuff ben creagh.
• KING WALLY : (and a footy fan!)
• KING WALLY : isnt it good to be alive!!
• KING WALLY : HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!! what a cracking friday it is, some awesome footy on display tonight!! go the mighty broncs, and go the big red V!!
• Manu Feltersnatch : Dragons and flip a coiun for titans or broncs
• Manu Feltersnatch : Killer games !!
• −-−−EELZTITA : GO BRONCOS n RABBITS
• lockie : brisbane v titans and DRAGONS v rabbits
• Guest_122 : Whos playing tonight?
• Manu Feltersnatch : I wouldnt, Id only ever support my own team. I might prefer one team over another to win and I might back a particular team but I only ever support my team. I think you can only have a proper true champion winner if it wins on neutral or oppositions ground. Home ground is an advantage and thus creates a winning atmosphere for the home side.
• KING WALLY : so a neatral ground for say bris, if they were to play the tigers, instead of leichardt they go to toyota park, evryone will support tigers.
• KING WALLY : but they wont play this yr.
• KING WALLY : oh and melb.
• KING WALLY : that goes for canberra, nz, nqc and titans.
• KING WALLY : yes HQ i always miss you on here, you not on here as much any more mate, but i think if your good enough to finish in the top 4 for the year, you should get a home semi. the footy played is always top class in the semis. but home ground is different down there, bris could play anywhere down there and everyone will support the syd side, where as the syd sides support there individual teams.
• −-−−EELZTITA : finals and origin should be neutral and not the regular REFS
• Hate Q : Hey KW I dont agree with the home semi.all semis should be at a neutral ground .I Have been to a semi when it was at a neutral ground and it felt like a semi where as at the home ground it felt just like a home game the atmosphere is a lot different , hope to chatto you on here soon
• −-−−EELZTITA : hannant is a sooooooook
• −-−−EELZTITA : damn missing out on going to penrith eels but making the dogs game
• Wombat : Barrett 100% hanging up the boots
• Wombat : I wouldn't think they would let Wallace go but they scrap Hannant, Stagg and Ennis to sign Folau so anything could happen.
• RickyRicardo : So I guess we'll just have to wait it out.
• RickyRicardo : Nothing yet KW. He has a contract with Brisbane till the 2012-13 season, but the rumour of him going to the Sea Eagles is pretty strong.
• KING WALLY : hes been the best halfback since alfie, it would be a shame if he left.
• KING WALLY : any more on wall RR?
• RickyRicardo : I guess the NRL have evidently chosen to go a different way though.
• RickyRicardo : Agreed KW.
• KING WALLY : or if your team missed out on a home semi? its all a bit unfair, thanks waldron, you walnut!
• KING WALLY : i think that anyone who plays storm should get 2 points, what if a team misses the 8 because of getting beaten by a team that has cheating management.
• RickyRicardo : I guess it's just one of those things that happens in Rugby League, and you never know when players are going to renege on what they've previously said or agreed to.
• RickyRicardo : The Cowboys have made an offer for Panthers half/utility Wade Graham. Three year offer.
• RickyRicardo : I agree with you Gutsy. He had pretty much accepted the deal in a way, but at the same time, still thought of retirement. But I do agree though. I doubt the Eels would stand for something like that.
• gutsy : Not quite sure how you accept something but contemplate the opposite unless you hadnt accepted anything. I doubt a club would stand for that but Im probably wrong as they do stand for alot of far worse crap than that
• RickyRicardo : So in a nutshell, Barrett wanted to retire, but initially thought against it, the Eels offered him a contract, and he pretty much accepted it, but he's still contemplating retirement at the same time.
• RickyRicardo : Hence why I mentioned it. I even mentioned to treat the supposed signing as a rumour because of Barrett's initial thoughts to retire at season's end.
• RickyRicardo : Actually I did. The rumour initially stated that he had signed, and only today did rumour come out that he might end up retiring.
• Guest_1340 : Ricky, once again you have got it all wrong. Your words were set in concrete, never did you mention rumour re Barrett. Dissapointing champ.
• RickyRicardo : Jeremy Smith could also be headed down the F6 to the Sharks.
• RickyRicardo : Taniela Tuiaki's career could be over as well with his knee injury not healing as well as expected.
• RickyRicardo : It's amazing how far rumours and news reports can go these days. Then again, I did say initially to treat Barrett's supposed signing as a rumour only. How things change.
• RickyRicardo : Retirement does seem the most likely option yes. Apparently Barrett will hold a press conference today to reveal his decision.
• Wombat : a reliable source tells me Barrett will retire and may head back to Temora although i would like to see him at parra they would have to offer him plenty
• RickyRicardo : If that's the case, don't be surprised to see Noddy at the Eels. The Raiders are also interested in him.
• RickyRicardo : Few rumours doing the round that Barrett might give the Eels the slip and end up retiring. Interesting saga, so we'll have to see how it turns out.
• RickyRicardo : Cowboys are unsure whether they should re-sign Mason, but are looking at signing Storm forward Sika Manu
• RickyRicardo : Brett White is most likely headed to Canberra.
• RickyRicardo : Luke O' Donnell is going to Huddersfield.
• Wombat : Maybe they need to off load Wallace for Locky to keep playing
• Wombat : ok KW but as for origin last year i would have to take the same vote as the other 16 players for NSW that all voted Hayne as NSW player of the series and i am hearing you about the kids and money.
• Coventry City Bear : Nice info, Good night lads
• Guest_122 : alright cya mate.
• RickyRicardo : All the best.
• RickyRicardo : Not yet. Haven't had the chance too. Anyways, must be off as I'm a bit tired, but I'll be back tomorrow.
• Guest_122 : mate. did u check out the ladder predictor on nrl.com?
• Guest_122 : I think he deserves to be picked for origin he has been on top form.
• RickyRicardo : Well he signed for 2 years with the Roosters, so he should be there next year,
• Guest_122 : do u no if this is jason ryles last year?
• RickyRicardo : Nothing yet 122.
• Guest_122 : storm need to quit nrl.
• Guest_122 : Do u no where jeremy smith might be going?
• RickyRicardo : Well there's nothing saying they have to release certain players unfortunately. Provided they get under the cap for 2011, they can keep those 4 guys,
• Guest_122 : i think they should be kicked out of nrl to be honest.
• Guest_122 : oh ok.. what do you think about storm keeping there big 4 stars an releasing the rest an keeping some juniors.
• RickyRicardo : Not too sure who he is to be honest.
• RickyRicardo : Who knows. That's as much as I've been emailed, that they could be on the outer.
• Guest_122 : whos david gower?
• Guest_122 : Wow serious.. where matt cooper and Hornby going to go?
• RickyRicardo : Dragons have also signed forward David Gower.
• RickyRicardo : Jeremy Smith, Matt Cooper and Ben Hornby could be headed out of the Dragons.
• Guest_122 : thanks mate.
• RickyRicardo : Let me have a look 122 at my email, and I'll let you know in a sec.
• RickyRicardo : Barrett isn't starting to fail. I think he needs to be around a team that can give him the support in the key positions and with Morts (who can improve and should), Hayne (arguably the best player in the game when on song) and Hindmarsh (life-long friends with Barrett), right there you have instant connections between the players.
• Guest_122 : any others new ricky?
• Guest_122 : they need a experience half desperate.
• Guest_122 : eels r gonna be so much better with barratt..
• Guest_122 : good stuff ricky!!
• RickyRicardo : Only a rumour KW. I'll see if I can get some more concrete info about it and let you guys know.
• RickyRicardo : Well now that the Eels seem to have signed Barrett, it's unlikely that they'd sign Kimmorley. Just remember that when you see the news made official, you head it hear first
• RickyRicardo : I think Barrett is better suited to the Eels 1340. He's had the experience at rep level, and that's what Morts is aiming for down the track, so I think he can handle the 7 jersey. He's a natural halfback that's been shifted to five-eighth over the years.
• −-−−EELZTITA : wallace mmm we wish lolz
• −-−−-−--EE : i wish eels would get some real top quality purchase not something that is starting to fail like barret
• Guest_122 : yeah dont worry, we all are like that.. we love our sport, team and country.. we cant hide our passion.
• KING WALLY : we all aussies, and league fans. the other day i was simply saying to support your team, but i offended someone, hey im damn passionate. the end. cya bud.
• Guest_122 : thats alright mate.. im not here to abuse anyone. cya mate.
• KING WALLY : nice chatting 122, gotta go champ. nice to not be abused!
• KING WALLY : i think everyone turns up against the broncs, everyone hates us!
• Guest_122 : i think broncs are back to full strength so it should be a cracker if titans turn up.. titans have been pretty poor lately but they always hit form when they vs the broncos.
• KING WALLY : should be a cracker on fri night, tits V broncs , bird got a few chances V locky last wed, so should be a good game, i tip bris, by 7. (surprise, surprise, lol)
• Guest_122 : exactly.. but it might be lockyers last year next year..
• KING WALLY : i dont think there is a halfback in the world that wouldnt want service from the great king locky!
