Neil Henry and ian Chappell should have a call off to see who the most boring merkin on earth is.

Would be quite the battle that nobody would tune into.

Chappell is ok if you don't mind retro tales that usually start off...

"back in 1972 when I was captain...."

and usually finish

".....was hellava player"

I though Mahoney was excellent on debut. Was surprised how long Arthur gave him.

I thought we were in for a long night when Gutho missed his first kick. We can't afford to miss easy kicks like that. Anyone else think he is out of form?

How many times can Mennings bomb a try?

We were bad but gee the Cowboys were atrocious. For every dumb thing we did it seemed they did too. We tried our best to lose the game in the last 15 minutes.

I liked what I saw from Nuikore. He has the right build for a edge runner.

If he's playing well why not leave him out there? The fact we had a decent lead probably helped.

Definitely

The one he did score, I wonder if he would have without Feldt flinging him into the in-goal.

They were pretty bad, but we also forced a lot of errors with our strong defence. And don't forget it was in Darwin which is more humid than Sydney or even Townsville this time of year. The Cowboys missed a lot more tackles than we did. We actually beat them in the middle. I guess their forwards are too small.

That was his first game on the edge because he played entirely in the middle in his first three games (unless he played some sneaky edge minutes I didn't see). He went better in defence than I expected.
