[MRN]

Karapani reported to be getting the chop for at least a week after his late night shenanigans.

[Valheru]

Brisbane by as many as they want.

 

[Someone2]

Broncos by 22

 

[Byron Titan]

Titans upset here.

 

[Rudy]

Ugh. Titans will be smashed back into the losers column. 26-point defeat.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Apart from Penrith the Broncos are the best anchor bet for your multi’s this weekend.

 

[Diesel]

Really hope Titans are up for this one

 

[The Man Shake]

Nice to see a packed crowd full of Broncos fans. It really could be our second home. Ship the Titans down to Mullumbimby.

 

[Diesel]

Haas looks dazed

 

[MRN]

Walshy baby

 

[Diesel]

Nice kick and chase

 

[Fangs]

Walshy is a wanker but that was one very special try.

 

[The Man Shake]

Caught his own kick lmao

 

[shear_joy9]

Kini didn’t even jump
Wtf is he doing

 

[Tom155]

Kini terrible lately

 

[mozza91]

What is it with Ginnane and overhyping inter Queensland rivalries that nobody gives a shit about?

 

[no name]

Kini finds himself in such bad positions for someone his size.
He needs to get deeper on kicks and attack it.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

What a shitter of a game this will be

 

[Diesel]

GC look good
