Some people just don't learn life's lessons. After the 1996 grand final, Nathan Brown should know damn well when a tackle is, or isn't a tackle!
Anyway, I'm glad that it was all manders fault, and not Cooper for knocking on with the line wide open, or the other 400 Saints knock ons.
I like Saints. However, I reckon 80% os 'astute' league judges would be eating humble pie right now. Saints are favorites :roll: Saints are unbeatable :roll: Saints deserve to have 8 players tour :roll:
Parra may not win tomorrow, but even if they don't, their season has already been better than Saints - how the Dragons got favoritism is utterly beyond me. I recall dickwads like Charlie Saab bereating me and others over questioning Saints claims to the crown. Saints fans aside, no one could produce evidence that they deserved favoritism.
As for Browns push for Barret at test 5/8 - LOL. Lockyer, in a lean and frustrating year, has been infinitely better than Barret, who, by now, should have achieved much more in the game.
Saints tourists should be Bailey, Gasnier, and the vastly underrated Lance Thompson. Any garbage about Dean Young, Ben Creagh etc is utterly rediculous. They are average at best. If they weren't, how come the little Tigers pack outplayed 'em?
The hype over Saints had been rediculous. And now, rather than acknowledge that they overcame a horrendous start to the season to achieve beyond their expectations, the poor old Dragons will cop the chokers tag (unless the Cowpats flog us -god forbid).
Full marks to the Tigers. A premiership is certainly not beyond you now.
