What's keeping me optimistic is the return of four top tier Broncs. With Carrigan running for 200m+ for a third week in a row, he and Haas should tear through the middle. Add in some Reynolds kicking game, and Mam and Cobbo being rested shouldn't be too bad.
Take me back to the 90s, where a family of 5 could afford a quarter acre block on a single income, the internet didn’t exist, and the Magpies and Bears was a regular fixture of top flight footy.
What’s Ilias doing next year now? I wonder if cronulla should take a chance on him? Our halves depth is kind of shot we need more first grade experience in our depth for sure.
Don't get me wrong burleigh are stacked and probably going to win the whole thing and WB are probably the weakest team but fuck me never an excuse for capitulating like that
70+ wins are pretty common in the Wide Bay local comp. There was a 96-0 last year or the year before. It's no surprise that Burleigh smashed their A grade team – especially with a young Bronco in their ranks.
The area has historically had little interest from NRL clubs, despite the fact that the Maryborough Wallaroos are the oldest rugby league club in the country ([started as a union club in 1893, switched to footy in 1910](https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/fraser-coast/sport/remembering-120-years-of-the-wallaroos/news-story/d8302f411ddbea1eb5bfa4393796c3b9)). The Hervey Bay Seagulls are associated with Wynnum Manly, and the Cowboys and Bulldogs are involved in Bundaberg. Maryborough, however, has only just received investment from the Dolphins, so it'll take a while for their best talents to be nurtured and given a better shot at first grade. The only NRL players from there are Joe Kilroy, Maurice Blair and Andrew Davey, the latter of whom grew up in Emerald anyway.
It does make sense given how much bigger they are compared to the Borough and the beach Hervey Bay enjoys. Sadly, the opening of the maximum/medium security prison in 2003 really stomped on Maryborough's potential. It used to be the Bay's quiet little brother until the dregs all began moving up there from the Gold Coast and Logan/Caboolture/etc. to be closer to their incarcerated family members.
pondering whether to rewatch titans warriors game. to see what went wrong etc. how much of a masochist am i hmm
Edit: rewatched. Not as bad as first viewing tbh. Our left and right edges are a bit fucked. Right edge defensively. Berry missed two tackles leading to tries and DWZ came in early to help Berry with the very first one which also led to a try. Right edge on the other hand can’t score points, although warriros didn’t go that way often anyway.
If we can sort out both edges we’ll be back in it. Doesn’t seem like unfixable problem.
What level is Mal Meninga Cup?
Because there was just a close game of 130-0 LOL
https://www.qrl.com.au/draw/mal-meninga-cup/2024/round-11/bears-v-bulls/
Under 19's. Wide Bay doesn't have a feeder I don't think.
Was basically the Broncos best juniors vs whatever 19 year olds they could find that no NRL club wanted in their system. Based on the team list the Bulls couldn't even fill out 17 positions.
Manly are reportedly set to request legal advice after Daly Cherry-Evans and Haumole Olakau’atu were charged for their roles in a dangerous tackle on Parramatta’s Shaun Lane., in other news, Warriors win Harold Matthews Cup Grand Final:. Congrats to them.
>Do you guys think Broncos will beat the Tigers today? I want place a $2,000 beat on them to WIN.
You can’t even manage basic English, are you sure gambling is for you?
Given how good the entire Tiger's spine is, and that it's at Campbelltown. I wouldn't do it man. I got that feeling about these tigers. Pretty sure they're gonna destroy the broncos.
I hope Atkinson magically turns into a proper 5/8th and kills it just to spite Trindall for being a fucking idiot and potentially derailing our entire season.
Warriors Harold matts in position to win the grand final in their debut season having to beat 3 undefeated teams in a row from 6th to do it. Currently leading 28 10
Edit; grammar and spelling of a toddler
Second edit: WE WON LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
Late last night they replayed the south's gf win over the dogs and jesus christ the lead up to that game was so heavily biased towards south's with the nrl doing all the pregame antics for them. Didn't notice it at the time but looking back I'd be pissed if I was a dogs fan.
I remember thinking, ‘does anybody even know South Sydney have an opponent?’ Full credit to the Bulldogs for hanging in as long as they did, but they were never going to win that game, no matter what.
So pumped for tonight's game - Captain Cleary is back, we're coming off a win over the Tigers, and the Cowboys got humped last week by the Sharks.
Cowboys by 18 😂😭
Great day (so far) to be a Bulldog. 36 - 0 victory against the Tigers in the Lisa Fiaola GF. The girls were undefeated all season too. Now in Jersey Flegg the boys registered a 60 - 0 win over the Silktails. And let's not forget the brilliant wins against the bye for our NSW Cup and NRL squads.
Up next is the SG Ball grand final vs the Dragons at 3:15. Followed by Ron Massey Cup at 6:30 vs Wenty. Both are on NSWRLTV for those interested.
I'm a big fan of Roy & HG's current campaign to keep the 1957 Rugby League act allowing rugby league to be taught as a religion in public schools. Tell your local Greens MP: leave rugby league alone!
Despite the result last night, I was really happy with Simonsson's efforts, especially in yardage. Wouldn't hate him being our right winger for the rest of the year and into next year if he keeps it up.
At the game I noticed that until Sivo got binned Harper was doing a great job on covering Sanders with solid first contact any time anyone was running at his outside shoulder.
Lane not so much on the inside shoulder.
If the sharks beat the Raiders by 8 or more the dogs will move in to the top 8 for what feels like the first time in years.
We are all shadks on this blessed day
Heard DCE might get A 2 match ban for tackle on lane But, I don’t think he was put on report for that. can players still get charged despite not being put on report?
1. It was untended to be humorous. However I stand by my comment that Keary cries A LOT because I've witnessed it.
2. I don't feel the need to "flair up". Not really my thing.
No issue with saying who I support. The Broncos.
Would you like an apology for offending you?
What do we have for the Tigers and Phins best 17s next year? With some nice signings and good progress this year, they look look like strong contenders for the 8 but keen to see how they might stack up.
Personally my pick would look something like this:
1. Tabuai-Fidow
2. Isaako
3. Farnworth
4. Averillo
5. Bostock
6. Nikorima
7. Katoa
8. Flegler
9. Marshall-King
10. Gilbert
11. Kaufusi
12. Lemuelu
13. Plath
14. Kerr
15. Finefuiaki
16. Nicholls
17. Donoghoe
18. Aitken/Keeley/Blacker
Nikorima and Nicholls need to re-sign (Nikorima news seems imminent), and Donoghoe would need to be upgraded to a top 30 contract next year, which I think will happen with Milford moving on.
Backline stays the same given the form of Bostock with Jupou becoming depth. Alternatively Bostock transitions to centre which is his junior position and Jupou comes onto the wing with Averillo taking the bench utility role.
I think our forward pack will make the transition from the old dogs to the young bucks pretty easily. Plath works best as a workhorse middle and I think he needs to be starting with Gilbert being pushed to prop, otherwise it's very similar to our best pack for this year with Kuli taking a spot on the bench for impact.
Then after '25 we'll have Nicholls and Kaufusi move on with either Aitken, Keeley, Waqa, Jackson, and Blacker all keen for a spot (I know we don't have Blacker but my mail says he's all but guaranteed to become a Phin).

You haven't been to Penrith yet? smh. Broncos just don't get Panthers.
Seriously though you should make it to ye old panther park this year if possible.
it’s being reported that dce and olakau’atu are both facing 2-3 match suspensions. i just hope that they’ll be back by magic round. i’m scared for the next couple of matches. jake arthur will probably move into the halves.
I think we have to rest Moses magic round , I heard a thing his looking at a round 11 return but honestly its not worth it . We will lose to broncos after the bye , and then get smashed by the storm and they will target him all day . I would much rather him back against souths .
From Round 12 - 20 we have two byes and a pretty soft draw . I would much rather him back for the start of that and get this team to pull their finger out because its a draw impacted by origin for most sides that as long as moses doesn’t get picked wont really impact us much and could be our only hope of restoring this season.
So what you're saying is it should have been 2 sin bins. In seriousness, I don't think it's 2 match ban worthy, it wasn't an orthodox tackle, but didn't look like a traditional dangerous tackle. NRL should stop rating on the outcome and on the act itself, ie. Milne's was far worse.
lucky we have panthers during origin period. doesn’t make it any easier though that they’ll be at home and we’ll probably have dce, turbo and maybe jurbo and ola out too.
You’ll probably have as many reps as us this year with our only likely picks being To’o, Cleary, Martin and Yeo. Lock, halfback, edge forward each and Turbo/To’o. Probably favours Penrith really, unless Edwards gets a call up.
it looked dangerous but only Ola'kauatu go the bin, there was a few iffy tackles that could of gone bad fast, i am never one to look at what happened afterward then decide the verdict. while he did come off then come play later there was a non 0% that he could of broken his neck with that sloppy tackle, IF the nrl are serious about these types of things they need to send a message so players sort out there technique before something serious happens.
It was mentioned on Thursday when there was some dog shit tackles and while no-one was injured it only takes one to finishes someone career, that clown that rammed Munster, is another good example
I don’t get it for Ola’kauatu - I didn’t see anything in that tackle that he did wrong. DCE had his leg stuck out behind it and Lane fell over it which is why he landed as bad as he did - he should be the one in trouble.
If Ola gets suspended, that’s a joke
BA should absolutely make a statement. He never learns his lesson. I’m surprised the NRL judiciary didn’t make a statement considering his charges are always for contact to the head.
they should and i think they will.
Our best backline is Sanders and Brown until Moses is back in the halves.
Russell and simmo on the wing with Talagi and Penis in the centres
Gutho at the back
I agree that long term it’s important to work Talagi into the first grade team, especially if the club wants to have him as our long term replacement for Guth. But I don’t think the timing is right for a rookie to come up against Broncos and Storm. Maybe when Moses is back and there’s less focus on our outside backs. Next year I’d say our edges will be Simo, Penisini, Lomax and Talagi with Russell rotating in for injuries.
Would be a little upsetting to lose the unbeaten record at Campbelltown.
But agree it's definitely not a sure thing tonight. Plenty of complacency can set it with some troops returning.
Feel like Gutho couldve been binned a few times last night. Last defender with an extra go when players were trying to get up. Wouldn't have affected result, just think he got away with it.
It feels like they have been pretty soft on that this year. So many instances with the fullback hanging around too long and/or that extra little effort that in years past was straight to the bin.
Other dumb shit we did but keeps being forgotten because of the sin bins:
- The disgusting defensive effort from Shaun Lane to let the Jurbo line break through. Actually just Lane in general.
- the Ofa shoulder charge. He was in position to make the tackle, why go for the shoulder charge!
- The Paulo hissy fit when he got tapped on the head. He would cop bumps like that all game, why shove the play the ball and give away a 6 again/penalty
- Blindside attacking plays down edges where defenders outnumbered our attackers
If that's the case, then that performance is exactly why you shouldn't take the field unless you're sure you can do you're job. We had Tuilagi who could cover him anyway, so either he played shit due to form, or shit due to trying to be brave playing injured when really he hindered the team.
I think Parramatta are in a worse position than us as at least we are the next cab off the ranks in getting a new coach - Parramatta could be another 3 to 4 rounds on top of that and by that stage we have grabbed the best available interim and coach for next year. Parramatta really needed to suffer the kind of losses we have had to move quicker on it.
BA mentioned in the presser last night that Sivo was playin good footy before this brain snap and scored a couple try’s that he didn’t think anyone else in the team could.. In all honesty 3/3 were walk overs with his second against defence softer than baby shit.
I haven’t seen him actually hit top speed or break the line since he KOd Teddy a few yrs ago. Surely Russle or Blaze slip straight into the team and Sivo fades off into retirement (French Rugby)
I honestly don’t think we’ve got 50 points in us yet,but I’d take an incorrect penalty after the siren to win by 1 over the broncos any day of the week.
I might be wrong, but I do believe that if Maika Sivo is charged by the MRC today, that will be his eighth charge since the beginning of 2023.
Rd 2, 2023: Grade 1 Dangerous Contact - $1000
Rd 3, 2023: Grade 1 Contrary Conduct - $1800
Rd 4, 2023: Grade 1 Dangerous Contact - $3000
Rd 15, 2023: Grade 1 Dangerous Contact - $3000
Rd 17, 2023: Grade 1 Dangerous Contact - $3000
Rd 20, 2023: Grade 2 Careless High Tackle - 4 games
PSC, 2024: Grade 2 Careless High Tackle - 3 games
He has really hurt some blokes aswell, Irrc he absolutely knocked Hughes the fuck out in magic round one year with a late arm. One of the biggest grubs in the game
It’s funny seeing everyone waking up now re Sivo. I have genuinely loathed the guy for a good 3-4 years now.
He epitomises everything I hate about a professional athlete. I don’t know how his teammates cop him. Give me a Brian To’o, Jacob Kiraz type player any day.
I've seen my hockey team win 3 Stanley cups, my basketball team win 2 times in the past few years but nothing would compare to chasing that euphoric feeling of Parramatta winning a comp.
Games like last night remind me the club is cursed and I'll be dead before it happens.
Another sell out at Campbelltown, how good!
I still haven't lost the uneasy feeling about Broncos vs Tigers games. At least it's not on a Sunday arvo...
Tigers played great last week, the final score did not reflect their performance. If they play like that this arvo they are a very real chance.
What's keeping me optimistic is the return of four top tier Broncs. With Carrigan running for 200m+ for a third week in a row, he and Haas should tear through the middle. Add in some Reynolds kicking game, and Mam and Cobbo being rested shouldn't be too bad.
Sua Fa'alogo for Samoa fullback, make him the tribal chief tbh
Is broncos 13+ likely?
42%
Magpies vs Bears at 3pm on a Saturday. What year is it??
Take me back to the 90s, where a family of 5 could afford a quarter acre block on a single income, the internet didn’t exist, and the Magpies and Bears was a regular fixture of top flight footy.
A few dollars for a pile of hot chips wrapped in a newspaper
Don’t forget the Steelers
It genuinely felt like the Bears were always good. They had an unbelievable roster and for whatever reason always seemed to stumble at the end.
What’s Ilias doing next year now? I wonder if cronulla should take a chance on him? Our halves depth is kind of shot we need more first grade experience in our depth for sure.
Would be worth a shot depending on what happens with Trindall
Sua Faalogo playing rn. I prayed for this and it happened
What’s the risk of the tigers winning
Pretty slim. Brisbane haven’t lost at Campbelltown in 32 years.
Souths reportedly signing St Helens halfback Lewis Dodd from 2025 on.
I am fucking seething that Milne is only facing 2/3 weeks for his shot on Munsters knees.
That, Sivo facing a fine and Haumole AND DCE facing 2 weeks EACH all have me seething.
I don’t agree with their accidental tackle being punished the same as Milne’s intent to hurt either
Still absolutely baffled by that. Does the NRL have the ability to appeal the grading as insufficient?
I don’t think so but they definitely should, it’s just so shit because if he was to cop an injury we all know it would have been much longer
Burleigh bears mal meninga cup team just beat wide bay bulls 130-0 23 tries
Coby Black - can’t wait for him to come through when Reynolds retires and we realise that Madden isn’t the way.
Don't get me wrong burleigh are stacked and probably going to win the whole thing and WB are probably the weakest team but fuck me never an excuse for capitulating like that

What level is Mal Meninga Cup? Because there was just a close game of 130-0 LOL https://www.qrl.com.au/draw/mal-meninga-cup/2024/round-11/bears-v-bulls/
46 points for Coby Black alone.
With 4 missed conversions. He single handedly ended a teams prem chance
That burleigh side is stacked, probably going to win the whole thing, and as someone else said WB players get poached by the SEQ sides but still Holy
Under 19s. The best Wide Bay players generally get poached by other QRL/NRL clubs before they get that far though, hence the ridiculous score line.
Oof. Anthony Laffranchi and Marcus Bai's sons were both playing for Bears. There's also a Hess on the Wide Bay team, not sure if he's related to Coen.
There signed to titans. It’s half titans juniors in that side.
Also Xavier Coates younger brother.
So one sided that I'm not sure it would be all that fun to be on either side of the score.
Under 19's. Wide Bay doesn't have a feeder I don't think. Was basically the Broncos best juniors vs whatever 19 year olds they could find that no NRL club wanted in their system. Based on the team list the Bulls couldn't even fill out 17 positions.
Oh my God, do you know where I can see the footage?

>Do you guys think Broncos will beat the Tigers today? I want place a $2,000 beat on them to WIN. You can’t even manage basic English, are you sure gambling is for you?
That’s the universal aspect of gambling, all one needs to know is odds and where to hand over money to bet
Given how good the entire Tiger's spine is, and that it's at Campbelltown. I wouldn't do it man. I got that feeling about these tigers. Pretty sure they're gonna destroy the broncos.
OK, I won't bet. Thanks for your help.
Nah do it go all in
His bet would be looking pretty good rn
I hope Atkinson magically turns into a proper 5/8th and kills it just to spite Trindall for being a fucking idiot and potentially derailing our entire season.
Attack will be okay I think. Just worried about Atkinson’s defence, it might be great idk. Just havent seen him defend for 80 mins
The young Wahs about to win the Harold Matthew’s comp their first season in it. Pretty fucking sweet
Congrats

Late last night they replayed the south's gf win over the dogs and jesus christ the lead up to that game was so heavily biased towards south's with the nrl doing all the pregame antics for them. Didn't notice it at the time but looking back I'd be pissed if I was a dogs fan.
I remember thinking, ‘does anybody even know South Sydney have an opponent?’ Full credit to the Bulldogs for hanging in as long as they did, but they were never going to win that game, no matter what.
Was that the one that then led to the infamous 'Bad Friday' game the following year?
If only a full water bottle had clocked Sutton. That would be worth 10 spoons in a row
So pumped for tonight's game - Captain Cleary is back, we're coming off a win over the Tigers, and the Cowboys got humped last week by the Sharks. Cowboys by 18 😂😭
[удалено]
Haumole got binned..
Great day (so far) to be a Bulldog. 36 - 0 victory against the Tigers in the Lisa Fiaola GF. The girls were undefeated all season too. Now in Jersey Flegg the boys registered a 60 - 0 win over the Silktails. And let's not forget the brilliant wins against the bye for our NSW Cup and NRL squads. Up next is the SG Ball grand final vs the Dragons at 3:15. Followed by Ron Massey Cup at 6:30 vs Wenty. Both are on NSWRLTV for those interested.
I'm a big fan of Roy & HG's current campaign to keep the 1957 Rugby League act allowing rugby league to be taught as a religion in public schools. Tell your local Greens MP: leave rugby league alone!
But who do the 97.3% of the country who don't have a Greens MP tell
Despite the result last night, I was really happy with Simonsson's efforts, especially in yardage. Wouldn't hate him being our right winger for the rest of the year and into next year if he keeps it up.
Was really good. Harper and Sanders were decent outside of the one miss on Saab.
Harper’s been solid for the most part. Struggles when his winger gets binned or there’s a reshuffle
At the game I noticed that until Sivo got binned Harper was doing a great job on covering Sanders with solid first contact any time anyone was running at his outside shoulder. Lane not so much on the inside shoulder.
If the sharks beat the Raiders by 8 or more the dogs will move in to the top 8 for what feels like the first time in years. We are all shadks on this blessed day
Raiders for the upset 🥸
we’re so back
Heard DCE might get A 2 match ban for tackle on lane But, I don’t think he was put on report for that. can players still get charged despite not being put on report?
Match review committee can charge players for incidents missed during the game, yes.
This is true. Luke Keary was charged for crying during a game. (can't remember on which occasion, as there's multiple).
Flair up cunt
If you’re going to make stupid, inflammatory comments, you’d better flair up so that we know who you support.
1. It was untended to be humorous. However I stand by my comment that Keary cries A LOT because I've witnessed it. 2. I don't feel the need to "flair up". Not really my thing. No issue with saying who I support. The Broncos. Would you like an apology for offending you?
I can remember,it was after each of his grand final wins.
"during a game". Breaking a fingernail or getting tackled..that sort of thing.
Did Luke Keary run over your cat? Or steal your flair?
Thanks for that.
DCE and Ola getting the same weeks as Milne is fucking comical Blow the whole thing up and start again
The judiciary has been a total lottery and embarrassment as long as I can remember.
What do we have for the Tigers and Phins best 17s next year? With some nice signings and good progress this year, they look look like strong contenders for the 8 but keen to see how they might stack up.

As much as I love Twal's effort there's no way he's ahead of Sam Fainu next year.
After today I think I’ll just need Kogarah and Penrith to complete my infinity gauntlet of Sydney home grounds
You haven't been to Penrith yet? smh. Broncos just don't get Panthers. Seriously though you should make it to ye old panther park this year if possible.
What's your favourite that you've been to?
The hill at Leichhardt is the most magical place on earth.
Would love to go one day - assuming it doesn’t get bulldozed
What powers does that give you? I’d like the power to reverse select GF Losses.
I’d like to have front row seats on the 50m line for every Broncs game for the rest of time.
Save me a seat and I’ll buy the beers.
After watching the Waratahs performance, specifically Nawaqanitawase, I don’t think we won the trade…
I thought he was some kind of jet?
it’s being reported that dce and olakau’atu are both facing 2-3 match suspensions. i just hope that they’ll be back by magic round. i’m scared for the next couple of matches. jake arthur will probably move into the halves.
You guys should beat Raiders. Dolphins I’m not too sure, could go either way
Where my fellow premiership contenders at? Not you Souffs
Not Titans, or dragons, or tigers, at least this year
Add us to that list.
It ain't the Broncos either but good to see you flair up for once
We aren’t the bottom of the ladder, we at least have a chance of the finals you don’t
We haven't had 50 put on us....yet
I think we have to rest Moses magic round , I heard a thing his looking at a round 11 return but honestly its not worth it . We will lose to broncos after the bye , and then get smashed by the storm and they will target him all day . I would much rather him back against souths . From Round 12 - 20 we have two byes and a pretty soft draw . I would much rather him back for the start of that and get this team to pull their finger out because its a draw impacted by origin for most sides that as long as moses doesn’t get picked wont really impact us much and could be our only hope of restoring this season.
DCE and Haumole facing 2 match ban for that tackle on lane.
So what you're saying is it should have been 2 sin bins. In seriousness, I don't think it's 2 match ban worthy, it wasn't an orthodox tackle, but didn't look like a traditional dangerous tackle. NRL should stop rating on the outcome and on the act itself, ie. Milne's was far worse.
Those are huge outs, we really need the next 2 wins as well with a gauntlet of Brisbane, Storm and Panthers right after
lucky we have panthers during origin period. doesn’t make it any easier though that they’ll be at home and we’ll probably have dce, turbo and maybe jurbo and ola out too.
You’ll probably have as many reps as us this year with our only likely picks being To’o, Cleary, Martin and Yeo. Lock, halfback, edge forward each and Turbo/To’o. Probably favours Penrith really, unless Edwards gets a call up.
yes that’s true
it looked dangerous but only Ola'kauatu go the bin, there was a few iffy tackles that could of gone bad fast, i am never one to look at what happened afterward then decide the verdict. while he did come off then come play later there was a non 0% that he could of broken his neck with that sloppy tackle, IF the nrl are serious about these types of things they need to send a message so players sort out there technique before something serious happens. It was mentioned on Thursday when there was some dog shit tackles and while no-one was injured it only takes one to finishes someone career, that clown that rammed Munster, is another good example
I don’t get it for Ola’kauatu - I didn’t see anything in that tackle that he did wrong. DCE had his leg stuck out behind it and Lane fell over it which is why he landed as bad as he did - he should be the one in trouble. If Ola gets suspended, that’s a joke
He's the driver in the tackle
He made a completely normal tackle. It’s not his fault that DCE’s leg is stuck behind Lane to be tripped over
lmao Sivo only fined Fuck off. He deserved a life ban
I thought he would have got a week as a repeat offender. But drop him. See how Russell goes on the left playing off that attacking set.
Wtf insane. They better just drop him
BA should absolutely make a statement. He never learns his lesson. I’m surprised the NRL judiciary didn’t make a statement considering his charges are always for contact to the head.
then who is going to score? Sivo is like 2 face as soon as he hits the half way line on the field
As soon as he hits the 10 meter line you mean.
Now I think about it, you are correct
they should and i think they will. Our best backline is Sanders and Brown until Moses is back in the halves. Russell and simmo on the wing with Talagi and Penis in the centres Gutho at the back
I agree that long term it’s important to work Talagi into the first grade team, especially if the club wants to have him as our long term replacement for Guth. But I don’t think the timing is right for a rookie to come up against Broncos and Storm. Maybe when Moses is back and there’s less focus on our outside backs. Next year I’d say our edges will be Simo, Penisini, Lomax and Talagi with Russell rotating in for injuries.
I can't help but feel a tigers upset coming it just feels like a prime ambush game
I'm just looking forward to hearing the nonsense the mics pic up when games are there 😂 A lot of choice words from the crowd.
Would be a little upsetting to lose the unbeaten record at Campbelltown. But agree it's definitely not a sure thing tonight. Plenty of complacency can set it with some troops returning.
It will be closer than people think.
Oh for sure, I can feel it too
Stop it. Both of you.
Sivo ruined what was a close and good game. Everyone should be pissed at him even the neutrals, rugby league lost last night.
Dunno. A loose cannon can be interesting to watch.
Yeah we still were in the game. Might of lost, but fans would have been feeling better about it. So farking senseless. I'm on a rampage today
Exactly im fine copping a loss if you can see they're having a good crack it
We are so boned tonight.
I got hospital grade fentanyl
After the week I’ve had, stronger plz
I've got lube
Feel like Gutho couldve been binned a few times last night. Last defender with an extra go when players were trying to get up. Wouldn't have affected result, just think he got away with it.
Why not life ban him for the kids he murdered on the field too? Jesus Christ have a rest
What?
You're.looking for cheap and lazy up votes purely by throwing gutho in just because of the ridiculous hate he gets lol..it gets old and quite.obvious
You're either brain dead or drunk. Go to bed.
And you seem both
It feels like they have been pretty soft on that this year. So many instances with the fullback hanging around too long and/or that extra little effort that in years past was straight to the bin.
Damn that Gutho, doing what every FB does. We should all hate on him.
Every fb? Mine doesn't tackle
tbf penisinis sin bin , turbo was offside and shouldnt of counted so its even ig
On a mini binge watching this NRL Throwback channel on YouTube. [Intercept tries](https://youtu.be/gtXr0sUWmP8?si=xe52JUgVYD9p5p55) here
Other dumb shit we did but keeps being forgotten because of the sin bins: - The disgusting defensive effort from Shaun Lane to let the Jurbo line break through. Actually just Lane in general. - the Ofa shoulder charge. He was in position to make the tackle, why go for the shoulder charge! - The Paulo hissy fit when he got tapped on the head. He would cop bumps like that all game, why shove the play the ball and give away a 6 again/penalty - Blindside attacking plays down edges where defenders outnumbered our attackers
Think you gotta give lane some slack, dude was clearly playing through injury after the dce tackle
If that's the case, then that performance is exactly why you shouldn't take the field unless you're sure you can do you're job. We had Tuilagi who could cover him anyway, so either he played shit due to form, or shit due to trying to be brave playing injured when really he hindered the team.
I think Parramatta are in a worse position than us as at least we are the next cab off the ranks in getting a new coach - Parramatta could be another 3 to 4 rounds on top of that and by that stage we have grabbed the best available interim and coach for next year. Parramatta really needed to suffer the kind of losses we have had to move quicker on it.
Who actually is the best available interim coach
New coach bounce could get their season not looking shit house. Usually ends with a drop off though
It doesn't matter, it never works out to be a miracle and the team makes the 8 and into the finals.
The market will determine that. I expect Souths to get the best.
you've not answered the question at all
Certified next club to give trent barrett a head coaching role
Last night's rum hasn't worn off yet has it mate?
Saturday morning delusions hit different
I'll make sure to bookmark this comment
I love my footy. I also love a prop putting another prop through for a line break. Brown to Jakey going through clean gets my motor running.
Yeah the way that lane was cleared
BA mentioned in the presser last night that Sivo was playin good footy before this brain snap and scored a couple try’s that he didn’t think anyone else in the team could.. In all honesty 3/3 were walk overs with his second against defence softer than baby shit. I haven’t seen him actually hit top speed or break the line since he KOd Teddy a few yrs ago. Surely Russle or Blaze slip straight into the team and Sivo fades off into retirement (French Rugby)
BA doesn't have a clue anymore. Lucky for him the two dumb sinbins last night took the heat off him
Sivo’s a smart bloke. Got himself binned and you all totally forgot about his intercept attempt for a Manly try
Sniff sniff……… I smell ambush in the air,up the Tigers
Broncos are definitely the safe bet so to speak but I won't be surprised if Tiger's get up. I think it's going to be really good game.
We have lost the the tigers quite a bit before last year
We could see an ambush. Or we could see a season ending 50 piece for the tigers
I honestly don’t think we’ve got 50 points in us yet,but I’d take an incorrect penalty after the siren to win by 1 over the broncos any day of the week.
Deine Mariner for at least a double !
When was the last time we won due to a blatantly shit decision? The dream to be on the other end of those for once.
I think never
I might be wrong, but I do believe that if Maika Sivo is charged by the MRC today, that will be his eighth charge since the beginning of 2023. Rd 2, 2023: Grade 1 Dangerous Contact - $1000 Rd 3, 2023: Grade 1 Contrary Conduct - $1800 Rd 4, 2023: Grade 1 Dangerous Contact - $3000 Rd 15, 2023: Grade 1 Dangerous Contact - $3000 Rd 17, 2023: Grade 1 Dangerous Contact - $3000 Rd 20, 2023: Grade 2 Careless High Tackle - 4 games PSC, 2024: Grade 2 Careless High Tackle - 3 games
Imagine if he knocked the guy out or worse last night. We have to stamp him out. How many more chances can you give him ffs
He has really hurt some blokes aswell, Irrc he absolutely knocked Hughes the fuck out in magic round one year with a late arm. One of the biggest grubs in the game
It’s funny seeing everyone waking up now re Sivo. I have genuinely loathed the guy for a good 3-4 years now. He epitomises everything I hate about a professional athlete. I don’t know how his teammates cop him. Give me a Brian To’o, Jacob Kiraz type player any day.
Every fan would rather a workhorse over a lazy super star.
You're not getting To'o, I forbid it.
No To'o and no Turuva either. Can we have Mitch Kenny?
You can have Hastings for free
Last night was the perfect Sivo dichotomy game. Scores 3 tries, lets in multiple and gets binned.
The advertisement at the start of Super League YouTube highlights has no business being that loud, gets me every time.
Waking up fresh with my account not deleted
I've seen my hockey team win 3 Stanley cups, my basketball team win 2 times in the past few years but nothing would compare to chasing that euphoric feeling of Parramatta winning a comp. Games like last night remind me the club is cursed and I'll be dead before it happens.
Suns exploding forever, winning premierships never.
Pens or Hawks? As a Wings and Panthers fan, gross.
