WEEK TWO - North Queensland 49 Warriors 12 @ DFS

[Dr Crane]

Cowbittoh you're a dropkick.

Channel Nine has stated a number of times since opening the telecast the Webb is missing. Not playing. OUT.

The only possibility is that he's there tossing the ball back and forth with the guys who are playing.

I see it all the time with away teams warming up in Auckland

 

[Timmah]

Exactly. There are no rules against the #18/19/20 players who've travelled helping the other blokes in the warmup.

Cowbittoh just likes to think he's got the scoop.

 

[Hurriflatch]

c'mon you stupid Warriors win ffs

 

[Dr Crane]

Phew.


Voss, Gould etc.

 

[Brutus]

Spare seats in the stands.

Well done NRL for putting this on a Sunday and clashing with local grand finals.

I can't believe this wasn't Sat night and the other game Sunday.

 

[Hurriflatch]

yep, both crowds would've been bigger with the game times swapped

sellout in this and 60,000 to Dogs-Eels

 

[Brutus]

What was the official excuse given by the turds at the NRL?

There is no excuse really. It's not like one game has to be played before the other as in week one of the finals where sequence is everything.

 

[Hurriflatch]

Go you Sheepshaggers

 

[Dr Crane]

Holy sh*t, Mannering passed!

 

[Hurriflatch]

What was the official excuse given by the turds at the NRL?

There is no excuse really. It's not like one game has to be played before the other as in week one of the finals where sequence is everything.

the reason given was that teams know that all things being equal the 3rd highest winner vs highest loser match will be played on Sunday and that could mean that players get that extra few hours to overcome injuries

let's say for example Carl Webb was able to play today but wasn't able to play Sat. Night

 

[Marshall_magic]

Phew.


Voss, Gould etc.

Ikin :crazy:

 

[Rovelli]

Mark Henry scores and Thurston converts

6-6

 

[Brutus]

Yet the winner of today's game gets a very short turnaround when it comes to next week (having to play on Sat night). The Eels will get an 8 day turnaround, while the Cowboys/ Warriors will get 2 less.

 

[Rovelli]

Cowboys f**k up the kick-off.

Warriors scrum 10 out. C'mon boys

 

[Dogs Of War]

Keystone cops stuff from the cowboys on the restart!

 

[Hari Kari]

How long will Thurston get for his spear tackle?

If he does get suspended does it make him ineligeble for next years Dally M or should he have to hand back this years one?

 

[Rovelli]

Tony Martin!

 

[Hurriflatch]

but the arguement of the fact that the teams knew that it will be a short turnaround for today's winner and a longer one for last night's still stands in the minds of Gallop, Annesley and co

 

[Hurriflatch]

How long will Thurston get for his spear tackle?

he won't play again until 2008, but that's regardless of any suspension :lol:

 

[Rovelli]

Witty's on song today.

Warriors 12-6
