Yeah, still not quite a patch on this one from the early 1980s -

You beat me to it, was going to post it when I got home from the game,one of the best tries ever, still remember sitting on the Paddo Hill at the Sports Ground watching the play unfold in front of me, geez that was a real routing of Manly that day.

Nikorima and Milf are McCrone level halves

At Thurston level prices....

 

[horrie hastings]

Mate I remember watching that live!!!

Same here.

 

[Mr Spock!]

Same here.

And with the ol brown leather ball.

How good was it to see Horrie Hastings run around.....

Love the bit of play where he runs forward then turns around and run back wards to set up the play. Still my favourite Rooster of all time.

As bad as the Broncos were... I feel like they are not far away from being very good.
Put a Smith or a Cronk in that team and its a different story.

As for the Roosters... awesome. IMO if they are healthy come finals they are going back to back.

Don't forget buying Jack Fatty Tub Guts Bird for 700k plus, and Roberts for goodness knows how much

I thought the toupo try shouldn’t have been given, Mitchell didn’t even attempt to go for the ball and took out the broncos player.

 

[Pedge1971]

When did IBM check out of here? Assuming he actually checked in?

Probably not but I’m comfortable enough for the ref to make a decision.

Damn, that's like the Coyne Origin try except better.

Yeah a Smith or Cronk shouldn’t be hard to find.......

Keep pressing the plus button after 700k.

He’s closer to a million a season and the Sharks don’t care if you kept the receipt.

Don’t think we’ll see much of him here this weekend paying out other teams.

Enjoy your season IBM ...... lol.

Some TV exec who has crunched the ratings numbers carefully. It happens every week. It's only 7pm in Queensland, where this game will really rate. Be thankful its not later.

If it had been any later I would have gone to sleep. But that was probably the effect of Brisbane's attack rather than the time if I'm honest

 

[Lambretta]

We sat in the Victor Trumper stand last night and it was a vastly improved experience that the Bradman stand. The area was GA and it seems most others did the same with almost no one going back to the Bradman lower tier.

For a start we could see both the screens so we could watch the games on those. On a couple of occasions I was even able to look at the field and see the Roosters scoring in the corner in real life. So that was nice.

A huge improvement up from utterly abysmal to merely pretty shit.

I will be going back.

 

[hineyrulz]

I'd take Jeff Robson at the moment

And Whats Matt Keating doing these days???

A Roosters supporter put to sleep (almost) by a display like that. A few back to back spoons are needed.

Not as blatant as Addocarr's one last week on DWZ but the top teams do seem to get away with things like this.

For the Broncos there are too many players with little first grade experience. They will smash some teams but will have no consistency. Nikorima is the first on the chopping block, best in giving a O'Sullivan a try and putting Nikorima on to the bench. I think they are going to unload one of Fafita, Sua or Hass as they all too similar.
