Good to see everyone except those associated with Newcastle picking the Raiders this week.

Timmah, if you paid attention to the last few years you'd know that Lozza only tips the Raiders when he actually thinks they'll win, which has been rarely.

Oh, and Simple Plan are plain awful.

Oh, and Simple Plan are plain awful.

On the plus side, their lead singer may be the only person with a gayer tattoo than Todd Carney.

 

[petetheileet]

Daley wasnt tipping us much last year...he hasnt been religious tipping us since he left his coaching role with us!

 

[Apey]

There's a few things we can take for granted - life, death, taxes, Fatty tipping Manly, Loz tipping Saints and Canberra, and the two twats picking Newcastle.

Sterlo's the only remotely impartial panel member there.

hardly call them twats for picking their team, over half the people who voted in the poll here tipped the Knights and they are favourites. Call them twats when they tip us over Storm

 

[skeepe]

Interesting to note that they had a pretty good coverage of at least something from every team in the competition... be it a player interview or just a brief snippet.

Oops did I say every club? I meant every club but two. Seems that it's not just FTA matches where the Raiders and the Warriors are ignored by Nein.

You're not wrong. I can't believe those dunderheads bribed Getaway to cover Newcastle in the same show as Venice, San Francisco etc etc. Then again I suppose it's good for contrasts... show some truly beautiful cities and then, to remind us that not everywhere is so stunning, show the biggest squalid hellhole on the planet.

Part 1. Part 2 will be aired next week and I will get that up as well.

Is it just me or is the video a split second out of sync? I have NFI why. It was ripped to my computer and plays perfectly. Now that it's uploaded on YT, it seems to be out of sync a touch. Oh well, still fine.

Enjoy.

This thread could legitimately be a good drinking game on Thursday nights.

 

[Shorty]

LMAO @ Fatty disgust over chief talking up Newcastle on Getaway.
And yes the wanking over Danny was boring,you could see Fatty and even Laurie roll their eyes LOL.

As for best hooker ever....that's a bit much isn't it?
Danny is a stellar player but it's a bit of an insult to others and Smith,who while young is having a great career and is not over 25 yet!

 

[Big Pete]

Or S. Walters who IMO is the best hooker our competition has ever seen.

This isn't a knock at Buderus who truly is the heart of the Newcastle side however it's hard to call him the worlds best hooker when he didn't exactly re-define the role.

 

[scuzzi]

they should have definately sacked Chief. He brings the show down with every stupid comment.

 

[BPS]

Footy Show =SOS

Same old *hit

 

[Ron Jeremy]

f**k off chief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets make a poll!!

 

[DeeJ]

The start was horrid, the middle part was good then it lost its way to the end again.

 

[lotti]

didn't watch it, Fox Sports had something better on the Penrith gets the wooden spoon game.

 

[dontmakemeangry]

Same sh*t-Same day just a different year!

Can't believe i missed LOST to give that show one more go!

Can only see it heading one way ....SOUTH!!

 

[wittyfan]

Ratings were 332,000 in Sydney and 175,000 in Brisbane.

Two reasons for the upsurge: People tuning to see if it has changed for the better; and 7 and 10 showing uncompetitive shows at 9:30.

 

[Knight87]

I hate how Fatty and Matthew JOhns always interrupt ppl when they are speaking, yet when they talk, they always go into long rants (matthew johns imparticular).

I don't know how Laurie Daley is going to gel with the group. He clearly looked like the odd one out last night (doesn't blend in with the larrikins that are Fat, Matt and Chief). I can see how he fit in well with the Fox ppl.

 

[The Tank]

It was good when they got rid of Chief and Matty. It worked well with Daley, Sterling, and Vautin.
