After the Mickey Mouse show of round one it's starting to feel like footy season has really started. Apart from the thirty-degree weather here in Sydney that is!
Tonight, I had a pop at my Broncos workmate just now, telling him I'm looking forward to seeing one of the Broncos stunning superstars score the club's first point this season. Who will it be? There's so many to choose from and their opponents, poor Parra, could be in for another pasting.
Tomorrow, Mt Smart hosts Canberra. Another sold out crowd? After last week I'd say so. The Raiders are no fools though, they're smarting over their straight-sets finals exit last year, and have pace to burn. We could be exposed down the left flank, Sticky knows this, and arrived in town extra early to run those drills. I heard he used cardboard cut-outs of Dallin and Ali. I hate him!
SFS, Roosters v Rabbitohs, tradition going all the way back to 1908. It's the perfect Friday night show and it's how we should open the season.
Saturday, the three goodies are back! A sunny afternoon at a packed Leichhardt, Benji v Todd. Both coaches with a lot on their plates. One thing's for certain, there's no better time to be a Tigers fan than this early in the year. Expect a sea of orange. Down in the 'Gong, St George will be hoping it'll be a bogey venue for the mighty Storm and, out in Bathurst, Penrith will hope Cronulla won't be overly keen leaving the beach, on such a balmy day. Anyone fancy a Panthers v Storm grand final? No, I thought not, but that looks likely, unfortunately.
Sunday, Brookvale will be full again, and let's hope the Manly faithful don't almost cause a crowd-crush this week. The Knights look much improved, so it could be another case where the home fans pile out early only to hear that magical roar, as their team piles on late points. No one was hurt last week so it was hilarious hearing about fans being stuck on Pittwater Road, and panicking to get back in.
We close with our first Qld derby, the Dolphins v Titans. We'll find out if the GC really are our wooden spoon favourites, even this early in the season. They were that bad last week.
Enjoy!
