Could be a real shitfight at Allianz tonight, Mbye will make Hasler look smarter than he really is which makes it a bad vibes game for Robbo imo. If the Roosters kick arse they are the true cup favourites
Leichhardt may be another Belmore, Melbourne could galvanise if Bromwich is outed, Farah may bring a spare dummy or run out of nappies, anything could happen . . . Taylor would give his right arm for a culture
Lolohea hopefully will be the name on everyone's lips instead of 'if only Shaun was here' like it is really the difference if a marauding Sharks' outfit carry on carrying on. Either cup virgin winning is fine by me as long as it's because the best team won, both are equally handicapped
Never tire of saying the 'Cowboys spine', once a novelty now seems par for the course. Pity the Raiders are again playing with a compressed C7, except for McCrone their spine would have been competitive. It will have to be a case of stranger things have happened if Austin gets over Thurston . . . compelling viewing for purists
Just a personal thing, nothing to do with the game itself . . . I'm going to cheer for the Broncos
If Josh actually testifies against Bromwich at the Judiciary, regardless of what the end result is, he will forever be 'Duges The Cat' imo. I will envisage every team Dugan plays for should crash and burn, to the extant that my interest in Origin will be revitalised and the Dragons can go f**k themselves. If none of that eventuates I hope Mary can regroup, the Knights are gone for the season anyway
There are some players that can't be done without so I reckon the Panthers could warp the rails for Souths with Mansour back on board, it's just an inspiration thing. Rabbitohs need to have one blockbuster after another for the time being . . . nothing else will suffice
Sezer's putting in a cameo and Kelly is useless, the locals should have some respite
