Ciraldo crying about the refs, piss off mate you’d be bottom of the ladder without them

A 20-point haul from Latrell Mitchell has paved the way for the South Sydney Rabbitohs to record a 32-24 victory over the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

Here goes Penrith, again. Just too good this year, I'd say.

14-6, 25 mins gone.

Now Cleary's in of that famous left foot to score. 20-6...now 26-6, halftime. Casey Maclean is causing havoc for Warbrick. But think about this year, he'll be running at our right-side defence! I don't think we can beat Penrith.

The Panthers only need less points in the second-half (than they scored in the first) in order to prevent Melbourne from winning the premiership this year.

Quite a few offloads from both teams, which is nice. This could've been a real clinical grind.

50 on the Storm, they are written off now. First time since 2003

What a beautiful weekend of footy

Wow. 2 teams eliminated this weekend that i did not expect. The 50 burger rule historically has been undefeated so far though.

I still don’t think Penrith get the respect they deserve, this is simply the best we’re ever going to see…. I dunno what happened at the start of last year, but fmd they’re good

The danger is Melbourne losing tonight and dropping out of the eight. They'll feel desperate to win the week after. It's not that long ago Bellamy would look at who they're playing and go, 'now's the perfect time to drop sixty'.

We're not that Warriors side anymore though, ay?

Oh we are in deep deep shit.
Bellamy will tear strips off them.
The deep scars we have against Melbourne in Melbourne.
We need a lot of sage! Haha

Casey McLean playing for NSW under new rules?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

The new rules around the disruptor, escorts and bombs had made them more competitive.

If Crichtonnis out almost certainly… fmd they are producing talent

Casey McLean is a freak. I'd pay him nigh on $2m a year to play for us

Oh lord do I enjoy when Melbourne get beat at home, and especially when it's 50.

And I'm getting some serious schadenfreude with the Dogs failures this year as well. That club presents itself as the happy families club but you just know it'll go to shit quickly if they start a losing run and stay outside the 8. The tide is going out to reveal they've been naked all along, giving the keys to the franchise to a guy at No.7 who is Grant Rovelli lite.

Still waiting to see what the fuss about Galvin is. The way he was pumped up laat year, i was half expecting the second coming of Andrew Johns....

omg you are not wrong. It seems like every year the Warriors are treated as a get right game for the Storm. Its turned into a meme.

Is a pretty tough field

Not sure on Koula, but presume he is available. Staggs is red hot at the moment, Best is still around and proven, Mitchell a walk up start in the side somewhere, as Trbojevic should be

I still don’t think Penrith get the respect they deserve, this is simply the best we’re ever going to see…. I dunno what happened at the start of last year, but fmd they’re good

and somehow tom ale and freddy lussick are part of this era defining team. funny how things pan out for players.

Replacing the guy playing left centre with a halfback instead of the specialist left centre they also had on the bench suggests they’re still waiting to see what the fuss is about too…

Just shows how much bullshit they’ve been spouting since Galvin got there doesn’t it.

Lussick did a great job v Storm, Kenny is underrated imo, solid all round
