PUTT YOUR HOUSE ON THE DOGGIES THERE ON FIRE

 

[yobbo84]

Taylan May? Is the suspension still "pending"?

 

[Canard]

This really is the perfect pre- season comp, in so much as the prize money is irrelevant, but the points system allows players and teams to spot fix at will.

Genius move by V'landys for his masters at all the betting agencies

Why are NRL wasting $100k on this? Do they really think that's a motivator in some way to clubs to do something differently?

Got the Warriors team listed twice instead of Melbourne.

 

[Canard]

Why are NRL wasting $100k on this? Do they really think that's a motivator in some way to clubs to do something differently?

I think that's obvious. To give the illusion of competition and therefore entice betting agencies to get involved

 

[Miller was a legend]

Why are NRL wasting $100k on this? Do they really think that's a motivator in some way to clubs to do something differently?

I agree with you.

I feel dirty

 

[flippikat]

The Warriors v Storm & Bulldogs v Sharks games are shaping up as good ones to guage how the Warriors & Bulldogs off-season changes have served them.

Really looking forward to those two matches.

 

[Nealo 12]

Meanwhile the WCC takes a back seat and is treated as a trial , ffs

 

[This Year?]

Grand Final week baby!

 

[Pneuma]

I agree with you.

I feel dirty

I watched the games last weekend and felt entirely compromised.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

Exciting battle between Tyrell "The Hammer" Sloan, and grubtrell

 

[0neye]

CAN'T SEE THE SHARKIES BEATING THE DOGGIES Bi 50+ @_=

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Meanwhile the WCC takes a back seat and is treated as a trial , ffs

A back seat? Nah it has the same status it always has, as does the charity shield
Just means the other 14 teams have something interesting happening

 

[Perth Red]

St's in a major upset (thats Helens not Dragons). One can only hope.
