The bio-security breaches are getting to be a real worry. We know it will only take one player, coach, other staff member, etc to catch Covid-19 and the whole season could be turned around, again.
As it is, one of the most high-profile of late was Wayne Bennett's very expensive '20k lunch'! (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08...coach-wayne-bennett-fined-for-breach/12536738).
About ten Broncos are being investigated for being out at a 'pub lunch' (https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...-brisbane-broncos-in-doubt-after-covid-breach). The obvious joke there is you could say the Broncos have all been 'out to lunch' for most of the season!
Tonight is a preview of the GF most neutrals don't want, Roosters v Storm.
Will the Panthers set a club record of nine wins on the trot? Or will the gutsy Warriors set their own record with three wins in a row, for the first time since 2018?
Eels v Dragons. The Eels aren't really playing well, are they? But they keep scraping home. A really good side might sort them out now.
Sharks v Titans. A must-win for the team just in the eight. Surely?
Cows v Rabbitohs. Another one where a side just in the eight needs to win.
Raiders v Broncos. Gee, will Brisbane rally? With all the bad press in regard to the Covid-19 breaches? With a coach who could be on his last week in charge? If not, Canberra might do a job on them.
Knights v Manly - Match of the round (sorry, but I'm biased against the opening game of the round). The Knights are looking to finish in the top-four, Manly would just be happy to take it one step at a time, beginning with a win here. Dessie's been a devil in the sheds, will it work this week?
We finish with Tigers v Dogs. Sorry, but Wests have blown it. Go Bulldogs.
