anyone smell a conspiracy?

[Babyface O'reilly]

i think that tonight's origin will suck the tank dry of mason fitzgibbon etc and add on last week's belting by manly and we'll be struggling on friday, really. panthers by 8.

Fitzy will be left out side like the game against Warriors but this game is worrying me too.

 

[Chook Norris]

danger game...........

2 losses in a row would be a huge setback

this game is basically a must win... but we beat panthers at penrith so.... meh..

[Sood]

Who do you think was mom? id give it to pearce ;-)

 

[Misanthrope]

I personally hope they give it to 'Needless Capitalisation In the Middle of Sentences' man

 

[Timmah]

You'll find that was how OVP copied and pasted it, not how the update read. If someone posts in ALL CAPS LIKE THIS in a post it will turn out All Caps Like This. ;-)

No, I was referring specifically to the write-up as it appeared in the 'live update'. It wasn't in every sentence, just some of the early ones.

Why do these two differ then?

Why do these two differ then?

Since I simply read from the live update, I couldn't tell you. Besides, how does one copy and paste ALL IN CAPS? You're copying the text as it is, doing it with caps lock on won't capitalise the text.

 

[Timmah]

Just seems odd that one person's copy and paste is formatted one way and someone else's another...

How far apart were they? The updater could have fixed his error.

Late Mail & Match Notes

The Sydney Roosters have been forced to make several late changes ahead of tonight's clash with Penrith at the SFS, and there may be more to come. Setaimata Sa has been ruled out due to a back injury, with Anthony Cherrington brought into the squad. Hooker Riley Brown has been switched to 18th man, and James Aubusson has replaced him.
Coach Brad Fittler is yet to finalise his side, although Frank-Paul Nuuausala has been lopped off his extended bench.


Penrith coach Matt Elliott said skipper Petero Civoniceva would "touch wood be fine" to play.
