    Cheers!

    Hard to tip games so far this season. Upsets and unexpected results galore.

    Worst thing to happen to the NRL is Greebug taking control. The bulldogs challenge the judiciary every time knowing they will get off. So much so that Grahams shoulder charge from a week ago and Tolman's high shot last week didn't even get cited.

    How good was that Broncos Cowboys game. Better even than the GF in my view. Milford is the man and rightfully got the MOM tonight as he should have in the GF.

    A lot of possession but kept kicking for goal. I thought the Broncos kicking game was a bit average, they let the Cowboys or should I say Thurston back in the game.
    Great game though and the right result.

    Hunts kicking in general play was very poor, especially in the second half. I agree with Bennett in his press conference, refs need to start binning people for the deliberate slowing down of the play the ball after breaks. Cowboys were definitely choosing to cop 2 rather than a potential 6. Defences are so good, they will back themselves on their own line when they get the chance to reset.

    We lost a lot of structure and effectiveness in defence when nikorima came on for McCullough. He has a lot of spark in attack, but a real liability in the line.

    Anyone see the raiders game?

    Raiders were robbed. They shouldn't have been in a position where the Titans could win in the last couple of minutes - but that last try that was granted was a joke :-(

    Cheers

    I've got to say, the raiders shot themselves in the foot with tht stupid penalty with 4 mins to go.

    Having said that, there was nothing to show that that last try had been scored. No idea how the sideline touchie say the ball on the ground :rolleyes:

    Well, besides the result.
    What was it, 3 disallowed tries for the Cowboys?
    Pretty cool that it was tied up at full time again.

    Heard there was one of the most boneheaded plays of all time.

    3 for the Cowboys, 1 for the Broncos. At the risk of sounding too one eyed, The Gillett one was a shocker. Even my lunatic Cowboys mates concede that one.

    I have sympathy for the Cowboys in the obstruction one. But the others were clearly no tries. However with regard to the obstruction, anyone who has watched any footy this year knew that was going to be disallowed. As much as I disagree with the interpretation, they have been entirely consistent in its application this year.

    In 2016, that is an obstruction every time.

    Haha yes, that's what all the Cowboys supporters were saying on the bus after the game. They still seemed so upset though.....

    I feel sorry for the knights. I don't want to see any team beaten like that. They should never have got into bed with tinkler and Wayne also left them in a mess.

    Sharks will find a way to self destruct.
    Sending their best playmaker out to the centres is a good start.
