The journo doing the interviews is Marlee Silva, Rod Silva's daughter.

They are getting better, just a few years ago and you wouldn't even bother.

16 for NSW is even bigger, knocking over players for fun

Its definitely gotten scrappy. I was expecting NSW to be pretty poor actually, the main women's comp here hasn't started, the QLD one has been going for a while.

Yes

Nice acceleration, once she got a chance she took off.

Johnson? One of the best female props in the game at the moment I reckon, also doesn't mind putting some sting in her defence.

These 4 pundits all had the Bulldogs finishing between 13th and 16th. All of them have the Titans finishing above the dogs, one of them has them finishing 7th...

We already had our Fifita moment (Andrew), now the chooks have had one too...

An interesting read for students of the game, Welch has always come across as one of deeper thinkers in the current NRL playing group. ‘Easier to pigeonhole a rugby league player’: Christian Welch on battling body blows and boardrooms The Melbourne Storm prop is first and foremost an advocate...

Even though he wasn't happy according to the clown crew? Apparently he was fake smiling or something?

He is also our 3rd highest tackler, slightly after Curran with Reed way in front. And of our forwards he has the 4th most run metres. But yeah, sack him.

This has been true since Round 1. Why is Butt Rottgut only just noticing it now? Wouldn't happen to be because it gives him a chance to be negative about anything at all to do with us, would it? Also, isn't it "game" not "games"?

Based on this article, he isn't coming here. He will probably leave the chooks, but unless Kiks dissapears from our squad, he is not Belmore bound, Angus wants to be NRL left edge 2nd row attacking threat. We have the best one of those already...

Looks like some Dargon fans went the racial route in the game against Souffs. Don't mind it being called out, there is plenty that can be said about a players performance without making it racial, no need for that. Interesting that nothing seems to have been said about the constant booing...

Best performance: Sammy Walker Worst performance: the string tie in Tedesco's shorts

That's a bin isn't it? Contact with the leg?

Gone

Chooks are having a laugh, they are never onside defending on their line.

So even a trip in a try scoring situation isn't a bin anymore.

Good try. Chooks have done well being patient with little Sammy

Is A. Crichton in the discussion for origin?

Once weres is increasingly spot on. Up the Wahs is so 2023

He's a hungry fighter.

I'll give it a go, though not tonight. Do you mean just for this round?

We now have less points conceded than the Storm with the same number of games played.

It will help if the ref let's the game flow, if we get the guy who just reffed the Storm/Sharks game it might not happen.

Not bothering with the Souffs v Dargons game, it was low tier trash. Here is the comparison with the top of the table Storm v Sharks clash. Time with ball in play: Pa V Bu: 58:38 St v Sh: 54:59 Total Tackles: Pa V Bu: 727 St v Sh: 684 Total Sets Complete/Incomplete: Pa V Bu: 67/87 St v Sh...

Very different test compared with the Penriff game.

They got just about as much help in this game as Tiges did in their win over Sharts, which is the real take home lesson here.

If that is play on Melb score the next play on the left, the wide shot shows there was a 5 on 2 out there. He blows it and forces the challenge and Sharts get to get onside.

Ref slowing it right down, when NAS was on the charge. Melb no where near touching it.

Ref has ruined this game

No way Sharts were going to get down that end of the field without ref help, their big guys are done.

Harry haz been quiet. But that penalty has been there at least a dozen times this game, why is it suddenly being called now with the game on the line?

Multitardo going for the intercept on the worlds biggest dummy

Wishart has done well this game.

When is this bloke going to give the Sharts an official warning, they are pulling every trick on the book to cheat this

Ah well, if Harry technically ran into the kickers leg, that was technically a crusher.

Nah, NSW don't pick tough smart players

That's Ramien origin hopeful there running the world's most obvious obstruction

Great tackle by McInnes, read that play well

All you've really said is missed tackles == bad. I've said it depends, and given reasons why it depends. Not sure where your reasoning is, but if you come up with some let me know, I'm interested to hear it.

Is he going to inject himself?

Despite the clear quality of Storms young FB I actually think they've missed Paps. No more so than the two Sharts tries, which were both under the posts. The young bloke was there but very ineffective on both of them. Have lost count how many times Paps has gotten under the ball in those...

Roy and HG did a poll today, of how many people think Gus is right. They reported 100% NSWers, agreed with Gus, and 94% QLDers agreed with Gus. Their conclusion was that 6% of QLDers need to be educated.

Yup, and his kicks look ugly and ungainly anyway, so no one will notice, he's like a giraffe trying to kick it

Every kicker going to be hanging their leg out now after a kick trying to make contact with any defender near by so they can go down like a pack of spuds and earn a sin bin. Stupid thing is refs like Sutton will fall for it.

Could get spicy but, NAS just belted a couple of blokes

Can someone tell me what is going on? Why is Hazza in the bin? Is it because he is QLDer, because I can't think of any other legit reason.

Rubbish penalty

NAS on Hazelton, would love to see more of that, genuine big blokes going at it

Jesse Ramien showing off why he isn't good enough for origin right there

Ennis just called for Munster to inject himself, I don't like to boast but I totally called that. Someone just quietly let Mick know that Munnie prefers it up the nose

Take your pick, born in Samoa, raised in Melbourne, junior footy with Victorian Thunderbolts, pretty sure those are all in QLD

Come onnnnnn get on with it

That footwork is absolutely sublime

It illustrates that to a large degree the missed tackles are part of the way our defensive structure works. Our objective is to get up there fast, good line speed, and knock over the guy with the ball before he knows what's going on. This does result in some missed tackles, but they don't really...

Bellyache is still working on him

Too technical

That'll confuse them

What are the odds on Ennis saying that Munster "needs to inject himself" at some point in this game?

You blokes have got a few in this one eh...

Crazy that Melb lose Paps, and simply wheel this kid out of reggies

Did you know he was born in QLD?

Right Dargons win, now can we all move on from this travesty of a football match and pray to the footy gods that the last game today is at least half decent. If it is it will mean one game today was half decent...

Good sharp play from Thompson there, wonder if he is a natural left footer

Nevermind, he just scored a flukey try, the Faux people can talk about him and origin again

Surely after this even the most diehard sensationalist Faux comms can't be talking about LM and origin?

Worse, he only thought he saw a nugget, but after diving for it found just a few blades of dried grass, that's why he looked so dissapointed.

LM pinged for dissent. Thought he was a fine upstanding player who is unfairly treated?

Kolamatungi has regressed badly, hard to believe he was being spoken about in terms of origin last season.

Nah, he actually thought he saw a chicken mcnugget lying in the in goal

Dargons without Hunt are as bad as Souffs, and they don't have anywhere near their injury toll

Great work at FB by the Souffs player, whoever it is that plays there, think from memory he's let two in now

Great catch by Shittake

LM just ran more metres sideways with the ball than he has run forward for the entire game

Take the 2

2nd game today that no one seems to want to actually win

Our defense is great according to the key metrics. We have conceded 155 points this season so far, only 3 teams are better than us at the moment, Sharks, Panthers, and Storm. Of those 3 teams the Sharks and Storm have played one less game, if Storm concede 18 points tonight they will drop below...

Souffs being led out to the field by the Wish version of Russell Crowe

Just about all of the players out there touched it. Can we just give Souffs two points for trying and move on, the amount time the bunker is going to spend on this is way more than this game deserves.

Who, Burgess? That's a bit harsh. Fair, but still harsh.

Fine work by Cook there, did you know he was once a beach sprint champion?

Extreme urgency showed there by LM to get the ball back quickly for the 20m tap

Should be marked as a 0 point game, with whoever wins it having a * next to them in the points table for winning a game that was worth nothing.

This game is getting funnier by the minute

Burgess is on, so the chances of a player out there doing something unbelievably stupid has just doubled.

Time for LM to break his record for kicking short drop outs backwards

LM put a bit too much Big Mac into that kick

He looks confused most of the time. Probably wondering what a Dargon is.

Ok, maybe that is why Wighton wasn't shifted to the halves...

No interest in the Dargons #6?

Lol@Dargons, souffs are awful and somehow Dargons are keeping them in this, can we get a quick look at Flanagan Sr?

That is about the only thing that he is going to charge at, Ben Hornby needs to line some up behind the Dargons whenever LM gets the ball.

Dumb and Dumber right there

Typical, they are finally on their knees and this is the one season we don't play them every other month.

HAHAHAHA :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: What is LM doing?

Wow, Souffs have regressed badly. When do we play them again?
