She can’t even get NSW to front Load their vaccines

Actually seems like she does have NSW front loading their efforts with 30% of first doses completed and awaiting second doses. Unlike Anastasia who hasn't seemed to be loading either.
Are QLD'rs preferring to just avoid the collision?

 

[Gazzamatta]

Sivo as well

That was a bonus.

Round 24 charges: Bromwich, Paulo among eight facing bans https://www.nrl.com/news/2021/08/27/round-24-judiciary-charges/

Storm forward Jesse Bromwich and Eels prop Junior Paulo are among four players facing suspension following a review of Saturday's matches.

Both players will miss just one week with early guilty pleas and be free to play in the first week of the finals.

Bromwich was charged with a grade on crusher tackle while Paulo attracted the same grading for a shoulder charge.

The review of Saturday's matches also resulted in four players facing fines.

Storm pair Harry Grant (dangerous contact) and Brandon Smith (high tackle - careless), Sharks centre Jesse Ramien (dangerous contact) and Eels lock Nathan Brown (high tackle) fall into that category.

I don't recall Junior's 'shoulder charge' and from memory, he wasn't placed on report was he?
Guess he can have a rest against Penrith with Gutho and come back for first week of finals with RCG.

Easts consecutive game record is legendary from 1975. 46 years ffs. They may now share that prize but Our Eels stopped The Scum from taking that ranking outright.
You stole our 2009 premership. Pay back is so sweet. Karmas a bitch MF's.

Grants ninja move was disgraceful. So lucky not to break a leg. Cant help but feel if we blow up about such matters as Robinson did the MRC grading would be very different.

I'd rather a premiership.

I'd rather a premiership.

Ffs!

Premiership odds have come back in from $67 this week to $31 this morning.

If I didn't already have $200 on Parra to win the comp I'd get on that. Fifteen bucks is a more realistic premiership price for us.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

One thing I did wasn't to say about the gameplan tonight, why kick bombs to the fox.

We should've bombed the other guy

Bombing remus was fine as he's a centre but when the fox was on, we should've bombed and pressured the new guy

Maybe we were bombing for Ferguson? But also, if you can get hold of JAC he's easier to manhandle and pressure the next runner.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Just thinking about those crappy assistant coaches that we re-signed. How come we defend so badly so often when the boys have this in them?

Clearly they don't have it in them every week. Maybe that's Kidwell's fault? It would sure be nice to blame someone we're not cheering on the telly every week. Isn't that what scapecoaches are for?

It isn't confirmed. The club denied it.

4th not really in play, unless you expect Manly to lose to both Bulldogs and Cowboy and our differential to shift by 60+

What if we beat Penrith and Manly just lost one of those games?

You mean I handed membership back for nothing!

Nobody did anything to bad imo. There was a bit of a trip that unsure if they missed.

QLDers avoid a lot of things, basic dental hygiene is one of them.

 

[emjaycee]

We would still need to catch up a 60+ point differential so they would have to lose to the Cows by 20+ and us beat the Panthers by 40+ or something equivalent.
