Non-Manly Games [Round 9, 2016]

[HoldenV8]

Don't usually watch the round game. But righto SBS 2 it is.

Cool. I've been to one or two Adelaide United games before. I don't mind watching soccer but I can't understand how fans go nuts over a 0-0 draw. Baffling.

The Adelaide Oval pitch doesn't look the best for the game, but they haven't done a bad job with it considering there was an AFL game at the ground 24 hours ago.

Well done Sharkies. You played RL like it should be played. I hope our backs and our coaching staff were watching.
Even when the Bunker, and a 10-4 penalty count for Brisbane, was against them the Sharkes found a way to stave off the NRL golden team.
Brisbane has won every penalty count this season. How they could win such a lopsided count in front of a parochial crowd suggest one thing: these matches are rigged. The scheduling is rigged. The way Brisbane can recruit anyone without smashing the cap is rigged. The way Bennett can stop a Brisbane player representing his country is rigged.

WAYNE Bennett has criticised Mal Meninga and John Grant for naming the Australian team a week early, saying it mentally drained his Broncos players ahead of their loss to Cronulla.
