Munster gonski now , medial ligament they say, that’ll be his season.

That will also see a re-shuffle for Qld. Ponga likely to 5/8 alongside DCE with Holmes to fullback.

I did actually see one story today that suggested Qld will try to convince Smith to come out of Origin retirement to play, though who captains the side if that happens will be interesting. Smith would probably be a better captain than Cherry, but it would be a big kick in the teeth to take it from him.

Nah, DCE will just put on his big media smile and say how much he is honoured to be playing under the sCam and so happy he is back for one more. DCE is the ultimate cuck and is nowhere near the captain sCam is. AND THEY BOTH KNOW IT.

Very unlikely to happen (extreme form reversal required), but would love to see the Eels beat the Storm in the next game.

Mate I hope the Storm destroys the Queen Gutherson led Worms......can’t stand the site of the team or their players.....sorry for the outburst!

 

[madmax]

started and finished by king Gutho

You obviously mean Queen Gutho yeah.....long live the Queen.

Trbojevic nominated his good mate and Parramatta skipper Clint Gutherson as the man to get the job done against Queensland, starting on November 4 at Adelaide Oval.

Turbo admits injuries 'all became too much' as he pulls out of Origin

Tom Trbojevic says it was a tough call to pull out of the Blues squad, while Canberra captain Jarrod Croker is more than happy to answer any Blues SOS if needed.

Fvck now we’ve got our own Queen Trbo grrrrrrrrrr

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

****ed up thing is drugcastle might roll the bunnies tomorrow. Then the slime get to play a side thats pretty ****e to make the PF

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Pap so quick. My son calls him sonic the hedgehog with that spiked haircut. It’s a fitting nickname

Sonic the Papenhuyzen

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Mitchell mosses... Nah, he's poo

I been saying that for ages

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

He’s bog average at best. He may have certain qualities and an attitude that suits Bellamy’s system. Take him out and place him in another team and he would stink it up big time.

Who Hynes? You are mistaken

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

I think the Raiders, if they can get past the cheats next week , have the drizzle's measure.

It will be a great match up.. i think the rorters will get them. Losing 3 in a row i dont see it... I'll be rooting for Ricky's boy's 100% its great watching that bloated hack trent Robinson squirm and flap about in the coaches box. Did anyone catch the coaches challenge from him? haha and when he called Mansour a soft prick

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

You obviously mean Queen Gutho yeah.....long live the Queen.

Long may she reign

Jeez, watching the finals is kind of depressing it just reminds me how very far off the pace Manly are ..... the gap between the top 6 and the rest is massive.

A huge gap , massive really , so much for the salary cap evening the competition out.

Some manage their sombreros better than others

 

[court83]

I guess the nrl got what they wanted.. a touch footy comp...
Defence?? Whats that..
The "best" teams in the comp have so far put up combined game scores of...

Rooster panthers - 57 points
Raiders sharks -52 points
Eels storm -60 points

To me that's an embarrassing total for what is supposed to he the best teams playing...

Remember the days when the best teams had score lines of 18-16 or 14-10??
Bring back hard, grinding ,defensive footy, rather that over this flashy under 20s style bullsh!t we have now

It’s the ability to source rich TPA’s , Drizzle ( one team town) , Broncos ( one team town), and of course the most connected club of all the Rorters. To a lesser extent but probably just as important the power of the massive Penrith Leagues club which has the ability to pour millions in to their football club.

In the modern era I don’t how any other club can buy their way in to success so really it’s putting together a talented bunch of young guns BEFORE they become superstars and just hope you can get success from them before they are seduced by the Roosters million a season for everyone scenario.

I agree Mark, and it has always pissed me off that we unload promising juniors to buy mediocre more established players ... plenty of examples over many years. Yes some clubs have access to more $$$, you still have to manage what you have, well.
Donkies haven't, Rorters and Storm have ... and Panthers have a huge talent pool and wealthy leagues club.

Donkeys are ****ed in the head office area , **** management , **** recruiting ( all the good QLD players go to the Drizzle ), but they have LOADS of money so they’ll be back.

While we're in danger of becoming like West Tigers.

We are seriously probably if we are honest with ourselves a few years away from being a genuine threat, we are so far behind so many other clubs.

We may make the bottom of the 8 next year but we go out like Cronulla early.

2022 think is where we truly start to move up the ladder.
