Lol bunker must be in a nervous wreck at the moment, cleared Murray as ok then Annesley must have been on speed dial telling them to get him off so they called him back over

 

[Big Marn]

Hmm. Bunker had a think on things and changed their original decision of just putting Cam Murray on report even though direct contact to the jaw.
Frizell goes off for HIA and Butler then says Murray now has to go to the bin.
Fox commentators were blowing up about why he wasnt in the bin originally. This is a laughing stock.
Smith made a salient point about wondering how the bunker knows how much force is in the tackle, when they make their decisions.

Good on Newcastle, so far. 26-12, they're keeping Souths from condemning us to third last.

So this weekend we have confirmed

Storm minor premiers, and the Dolphins loss means Cowboys and Manly are 100% playing finals footy. Tigers and Eels will play off for last place in round 27

Big games tomorrow, win for the Roosters and they look odds on to grab 2nd and importantly home advantage for the first 3 weeks.
Sharks a big opportunity to level up on points with Penrith as well and a superior points differential so Penrith may drop as far as 4th, and have the Dogs breathing down their neck. Dragons on the other hand can win and open a 4 point gap to 9th with only 4 more points available

lol, JWH back from suspension for 12mins before he finds himself in the bin again

Walks off saying nothing wrong with it but he is deluded, may be the end of Maria’s NRL career

48-22, Roosters. Final. They're in 2nd place now. Can they win the comp?

The Titans had an OK season though. They bookended poorly but their winning stretch in the middle nearly gave their season a passmark.

League on the GC has always been a failure though yet the NRL would never consider dumping them.

They’re third favourites, for sure

in a salary cap era, they should really run workshops for others, the squad they’ve assembled is hard to square away against others

If Cronulla win this then it'll open up absolute chaos for eighth place. What a shame we didn't win a few more games.

 

[Blair]

The Sharks look so superior. Ramian's in the bin but they're still on top.

If Penrith lose 1 more game, and the Dogs win out from here, Panthers probably miss the top 4. Still a few twists and turns left over the next couple of weeks

 

[JJ]

Thought the Dragons might pinch this at home, and they still might (Edit - not so much )But Cronulla and Fitzgibbon don’t get enough respect, solid all round side, well coached, well organised, coping without key players etc. Not sure whether they can win yet, but adding AFB next year might really put them in the middle of it

 

[JJ]

Impressive from the Sharks…

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Think the Sharks have a bit of a stigma from the last couple of years having relatively easy draws to grab a high position then get stuffed in straight sets when the whips are cracking, so nobody will trust them until we see them in the finals. Have been pretty impressive with some names missing though
