What I want to know is who's the ar$ey b@stard who would have picked Atkins in their fantasy league squad?

 

[Patorick]

Can't believe that Atkins try.

 

[Monk]

Atkins = possible rookie of the year for mine

 

[Big Pete]

I'm not sure if Atkins was available...I was actually looking for him as a cheap substitute, shame I couldn't find him aye. :lol:

Good debut for him.

MotM: Luke Bailey
1 Try ,23 Tackles, 19 Hit Ups, 1 Line Break

Thank god I added him to my fantasy team.

Luke O'Donnell on the other hand.

 

[Dr Crane]

I tipped the Tits, sweet.

 

[El Diablo]

Tits by far the standout team of the night

 

[Patorick]

Without question.

Final Score

 

[Patorick]

Gold Coast 36 (Jordan Atkins 4, Luke Bailey, Anthony Laffranchi tries; Scott Prince 6 goals) beat North Queensland 18 (Johnathan Thurston 2, Ben Harris tries; Johnathan Thurston 3 goals)

Tits by far the standout team of the night

silicone tits ?

 

[NthKnight]

If not for JT the Cows wouldnt have put on a point. Bad sign for them, Id be worried about losing him for any length of time if I were a NQ fan. Their ruck defence was attrocious too.

Full credit too the Tits though, they played a tremendous game and if thay can keep a fit side all year they will give the top 8 a good shake. Bailey was outstanding and along with Mini2 were IMO the best on field.

 

[*Paul*]

Johnno Stuntz also scored four tries on debut, way back on opening day 1908.

 

[Timmah]

Fug me what a debut for the kid - straight into the record books for both GC and the NRL... well done son!

 

[Dutchy]

2/2

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Prince is as good as Thurston.

 

[Brycey]

So can we have a poll for how long Murray will keep his job?

[Shorty]

As good as the try looked,Jordan didn't actually get it down and he was out of touch also.
But as we know,home town advantages were free flowing last night.

Titans were the better team,but it would be good if the officiating was not one-sided.

 

[Marshall_magic]

I reckon if Atkins didn't get that down it could of gone close to being a penalty try as the Cowboys winger (Henry) tackled (pushed) him in mid air towards the sideline.

 

[beave]

learn the rules mate.
