Turbo’s lucky that he’s good at footy because f**k me he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I don’t mind us losing. What goes up must come down. Well played Manly, again very much deserved winners tonight.

What I can’t understand is the inconsistency in decisions, obvious square ups and ridiculous sin bins. Sure bin Alamoti for the professional foul but if you are binning shoulder charges bin all of them. Not 50% of them. The high tackle bins are getting ridiculous too, how far back can they go and review and then gift a penalty? The NRL has lost its marbles and are making it hard to watch games.

but at the end of this game Billy Walters finds out Kevvie is his father "nooooooooooooooooo.....noooooo"
The full time whistle was pretty close to the moment when Darth Vader realized the error of his ways and chucked the Emperor down the shaft.

Quite poetic.

In other news I asked the missus to grab me a Coke Zero on the way back from the kitchen and she's handed me a can that has f**ken "CHAMP" on it so I am planning the breakup as we speak
Oof, drink champed. That’s pain.

What's even more frustating about them going back to the previous set for the penalty was that the same happened in the previous game (Cows v Titans) and the commentators noted that they couldn't go back, which they didn't, and just said the Cows would be happy with the extra man advantage. So it's not even consistent across the same day, let alone the same round or season.

There was only one piece of good fortune from that reffing performance. She was equally shit to both sides tonight....the better side won.

Geez, these guys trying to work out why Penrith is running last. It's very simple: because Parramatta had the bye this week.

Thank you.
