For those watching the game tonight

I'll tip the Roosters
I think the Broncos will struggle to penetrate the Roosters defence

Finch will be crap but Gus will talk him up anyway

Berrigan would make a great shark. I'm going to tip Brisbane as I dunno I just think they are going to click and have built for this game well.

so that means roosters by a thousand :lol:

Notice how Berrighan pumps through the tacklers. At one stage he launched himself at two defenders to try & break though. Thats why I wrap this guy so much.
That is exactly what Bird can't do.

Berrighan is the sort of player that deserves fatal attraction supporters.
Because he can f**king play.

yep they do.
Scary f**king thing is, they are at about 60-70%

Now for the worse news. Apparently they have some more mosters coming through. A couple hidden on the Sunshine coast, a few with the clydesdales etc.

No wonder the Rorters have been keen to buy everything.
They can see the pain on the horizon.

Did anyone notice early in the second half the Broncos made a break and Lockyer got pulled down about 20 out. The Rooters players were all over him and he couldn't get to his feet to play it. By the time he gets up the previously scrambling defence was back in the line. No penalty, no mention of it in the commentary box, nothing.

Then a couple of sets later back up the other end of the field, Brad Meyers was lifted and slammed after passing the ball. It was at the edge of camera but again nothing said. The next we saw of him he was having treatment, but no mention was made of what led to it.

yep. Noticed the meyers things.

on the first point, I thought we saw a good game tonight.
& I reckon it has a lot to do with Tim mander.
His punishment of the cheats obviously has forced them into rethinking their defensive strategy. Rarely were they leaving the line early. & the good thing was, Simpkins followed up manders good work by constantly being in their ears. "NO EARLIES!!!.
f**k it's a relief harrigan is gone.

Spot on Reefy, it was a good game.
Certainly up a notch or two in intensity from anything the Sharks have played this year

I went out to the game tonight and I thought Berrigan was special too. The thing I liked most was the beautiful kicking game from Lockyer. That guy should play 5/8th for Australia now. We have got a couple of ready to go fullbacks but nothing as good as Locky at 5/8th. Barrett is an after thought now.
