Mine is also up, although it looks like I stole Matty's idea. But I can say in all seriousness, I was always gonna do a diary type thing. Its easiest for a debut match :lol:

Matty, urs is sen-f**king-sational.

Just had a quick look at yours Paulie... good solid debut mate. It is quite similar to mine, but hopefully that won't cost us too much. Surely each article has to be marked on it's own merits, not those of the article before.

One of the Souths boys (can't remember a name) has posted after Paulie. Unfortunately it's bloody good!

I'll be doing mine after I get home from work. Hopefully Mags is able to get his done tonight, else we'll need a last second submission from someone else.

Mine's up, a bit of a rush job, but that's what happens when you leave it late. Matt and JD, I had a little poke at you, hope you don't mind.

Yeh I noticed that Bushie, its all good. I sincerely apologise for my article, with the benefit of hindsight I should hav re-thought something else. I think I might be the F7's version of Greg Smith :lol:

80 for mine? Seriously, what a crock of sh*t.

Congrats to les on another top mark, I knew you had it in you. Full credit also to MrC and TJS for great marks, and JD for a solid debut. I thought that the two very, very similar posts would hurt us - but clearly gorilla didn't think so. We're off to a flyer!

Come on Chris, take it on the chin mate, you're better than that. Good game by you guys, congrats on player of the match Kim, well deserved.

Yeah, you're right, I was quite drunk when I got back from Parki's last night. Doesn't mean I'm still not unhappy with the mark. Eighty is a pretty shoddy mark for me (lowest I've had since my first year) and there didn't seem to be any reason given for it.

Ah well, back to the drawing board. I'll just have to write something bigger and better for next time.

Congratulations Knights on a fine win. We thoroughly deserved it and it really was a fantastic first-round effort.

Les, you never cease to amaze me darling. I get the feeling that I am in the presence of a true genius. I love your articles about your little bloke... you have to rare ability to let your love and passion flow from your heart all the way down your arm and onto your keyboard. A beautiful story.

Mags, top stuff mate. You didn't leave anyone in any doubt of your opinion, and that's the way it should be. Well-stated and very, very interesting.

Paulie, you stole my idea you b@stard! No, seriously, great debut mate.

Chris, harde done by mate. I don't know why that article was only worth 80, but I guess that's why I'm not aref. Good stuff anyway... if you posted that article next week it could just as easily have got a 90.

Great start to the year Knights... lets carry the form into round 2!

84 for me??? What a start :D

Great effort guys and gals, looks like we've hit the ground running. Matty, you stole my idea, not the other way around!!!

Hope I can get a spot in the team at some stage in the near future, I quite enjoyed it.

Guys, for the next round MrCharisma has suggested we 'theme' our entries around the same topic (obviously taking different perspectives). I was toying with the idea of choosing expansion in the NRL. Some could argue for it, some could argue against it etc.

So far I've got myself, MrCharisma, RABK, and Parki keen to play. Who else is up for a run?

I have a big grin on my face and am feeling very warm and fuzzy...
TJS - you actually make me blush. Thanks so much for the kudo's :D

Cheers Guys. This is why I love this team.

We Rock!!

Well done crew... i think it was the fact we had three captains that brought out the power within us.

If we're going to do a theme, lets get some ideas happening on the angles we take, so we don't fall into a trap of repetition

If nobody else minds, I want to take a more 'extreme' angle and talk about returning to the days of the twenty team, truly 'national' competition.
