Most people are f**king idiots

the chad has won a gf

Brookes at 28 has won nothing and taken his club nowhere yet still keeps signing contracts on his potential which still hasn’t materialised despite his 186 games for the tigers and one nrl all star appearance
Im hardly going to defend brooks here, however Chad had 9 origin players in his side the year he won a comp. Brooks has had 3 in his whole career. If Chad played his career at wests and Brooks at Cronulla, I doubt the tigers have made the finals.

It was also widely reported that Payten enquired about signing Brooks before he got Townsend.

Sydney is different I guess

It’s the nrls decision not the clubs

if they can avoid giving a club a home ground advantage they probably should as it’s not week one anymore

So the NRL will be scheduling North Queensland's prelim at Lang Park then.

Felt like watching 12th play 13th last night. So depressing that Penrith will be back to back choamps.

Chad got hooked in the 2016 final series.

He relies on Drinkwater and Deardon for any play making.

I’m hardly bashing Chad, The cows are such a brilliantly coached side, each spine player has a clearly idenified role and Chad plays his perfectly.

I don't disagree, Brooks had his best season when playing under Ivan. So decent coaching does make a difference

Drinkwater does the play making and it showed when he was stuck on the left vs Souths.

What is more unsettling for you is the fact that most of your good players are leaving after this year. This is why I'm tipping Eels next Friday. Desperation stakes, or that premeirship window slams shut for a number of years..

Panthers vs Roosters and Cowboys vs Raiders is my prediction for the preliminary finals.
Parra were going well against us until Moses went off injured. I'm certain Parra will win easily V Raiders. As much as a great win it was against the Storm, the Eels are a different challenge altogether...provided Blake gets some catching practice in.

Absolutely wasn't a whinge. They've ruled those obstructions all season.I don't know why decoy runners do it. He put himself in a terrible position last night.
I see it as karma for what happened in Townsville. Two Cronulla players went whinging to the ref after they ran up Robson's arse. They got their way.
