Bird, Holmes & Gordon all very good today, Barba to come back through the NSW Cup?

We were poor today but I'd prefer we have our off days against the poor teams. Will worry more if we're that flat again on Friday night. Getting JWH and Friend back soon solves most problems though.

Where was the NRL looking into this like they are with Graham. I don't remember talk about a potential ban for Soward.

Brown out for 5.

-PB

So Brett Morris out for 2-3 months and Lafai out for 8 weeks.

Amazing how a season can go so completely to shit in one weekend.

What the actual fuck :lol:

Bulldogs OUT, South Melbourne IN.

Good to see Penrith fans booing the refs enough that security had to step in :lol:

-PB

Yeah, definitely not renewing my membership for next season.

So turns out Morris wasn't charged for 'kicking' Luke in the face, which makes all the talk from the media about him 'drilling' or 'burrowing' his boot into Luke's face all the more ridiculous.

Would also love to know how Kasiano gets charged and gets 2 weeks for his accidental knee on Luke, but this from Nathan Friend draws no charge.



Also some great banter from the NRL giving Graham, who accidentally made contact with Reynolds in trying to charge down the kick, a higher grading than Felise Kaufusi who intentionally attacked Benji Marshall's legs while he was airborne.

Fairly sure you said that last season. :lol:

Good luck trying to get consistency from the Judiciary, have been saying this for years sadly.

Still don't know why Graham has been suspended.

:lol: I did, and I would have not renewed if I hadn't been lazy and forgotten to cancel it before the auto renewal kicked in :lol:

Probably would have got off if he'd called him a cheat. Seems to work for other players.

So Tomkins back to England and Tuivasa-Sheck to the Warriors.

Gutted. We've put so much time into RTS but for $800,000 we can't match that. Might add some weight to the thought of Hayne does come back it will be at the Roosters

Yeah as soon as it became clear Tomkins wasn't staying there was no way the Roosters could compete with what the Warriors could offer.

Good get for the Warriors, disappointing to see Tomkins leave the NRL though.

Slater out for a month hopefully the Storm give Munster a go.

Reynolds might miss weeks and not months. Well there's a fucking surprise :lol:

:lol: Bulldogs fans are grubs.

Jacob Loko not sacked by the Bulldogs but issued with

- 150 hours community service
- Total alcohol ban with random alcohol and drug tests an option for the club any time they choose
- Compulsory continuation of counselling and education program
- 4 game ban, with matches already served which means he will be available for selection in Round 8
- $10,000 fine with $2500 of that suspended
- Immediate contract termination for any future breaches of the clubs code of conduct.

The sad thing being if he does get sacked from the Bulldogs he'll be free to be picked up by a club "giving him a second chance"

From memory the Bulldogs are his second chance.

Yep and this is now his 2nd chance with us :lol:

Did hope the club would sack him, but if they see something there worth keeping at least they've protected themselves and given them an easy out if he fucks up again.

Would have definitely sacked him if Lafai and Morris didn't have long-term injuries (on top of having a massively diminished forward pack which already weakens the side). Pragmatism always trump morality in professional sports.

Need to set up support groups for deadshit NRL players.

Sezar to the Raiders is a good signing for them, not sure what Manly are doing though. Surely they'll throw money at Elgey now.

Beau Scott on 500K a year at Parra is shocking though.

Great game (Probably the best of the season so far).

On top of the league, 5 wins in a row. :d

Still not a fan of golden point though.

Credit to Thaiday tonight, he was outstanding. Needs to do that every week, not once a year.

Man its great to have Wayne back. :d

FT: Parramatta LOLs 16-38 Titans

Just fold the club already.

Swear at a referee, 10 in the bin.

Knock a player out with a swinging arm and leave his team a man short, yeah nah mate just a penalty.

And that sets a good example for kids watching the game how exactly?
