I'm not so sure it's your foot they should be operating on Robbie ..........

[Old Scaley]

I will be happy if they win by one. Looks like the horror run of injuries will continue.

[Drop Bear]

straight forward win. nothing to talk about really.

Just the Broncos on the winning streak.

Of course I bl00dy didn't, grrrr!!!!!!! Wish I'd gone to it - love beating the Roosters!!!  Hard call on Napa - they'll stamp the big hitters out of the game if they continue with this nonsense!!

it is interesting. I don't really have an opinion. he did hit him in the chin with his head. Was it intentional? dunno. he did contact him while in the act of tackling above shoulder. is that legal? ... dunno ... I have only questions not answers or opinions. 

[Drop Bear]

Really the only question is who will be captain for the broncos when they win the final?

Saturday, May 19 results...

Titans 33  v  26 Knights

Good to see the Titans in the winners circle again. Stood tall even with a couple of 12 players/sin bin periods.

Cowboys 19  v  20 Rabbitohs

at 19 – 18, not square at marker = off side! converted 2pt penalty kick...  dumb way to lose the game for your team... don`t blame the ref

Storm 4  v  24 Sea Eagles

1 send off, 4 sin bins, 26 penalties, 13 each.

[Dinodadog]

I know the refs have to stamp their authority but they have let the rubbish go on for to long in the game, you only have to look at SOO where sometimes anything goes. Then the players go back to club games and cant workout why they are being pinged.They will give a penalty for a  head high and then in the very next tackle a player nearly gets his head tore off and they say play on.Pommies have cleaned their game up and its a pleasure to watch, we need to sit down all the players at start of season and tell them the rot has to stop. At the moment I feel like throwing my slippers at the TV (only thing stopping is we have cold tiled floors)

[Old Scaley]

All these penalties and sin bins are killing the game. You can see the players scratching their heads after some them because they have no idea what the penalty is for. I agree with cleaning up the ruck and keeping the players onside but I think the refs are just too whistle happy now.  Rant over!

[Gad]

 

interesting round... some teams stepped up to their potential, while others opted for stupid.

Sunday, May 20  results...

Dragons 25  v  18 Raiders

one thing about the Raiders, their consistent.

Sharks 22  v  16 Bulldogs

Dogs are just lacking that extra play execution to open up the oppositions try lines regularly.

ROUND 12

I will admit they looked much better Thursday night. I am bit suspect on Boyd at present. I still think he is carrying an injury from off season. I am loving watching Oates play! Another great game from Storm and Cowboys last night. I think Cowboys have too many carrying injuries. Something is not right with them.... They can't finish off games. They are getting closer but it is all going to be too late...... Storm Munster is just getting better and better he is a good kid for the future. 

I had a bad weekend last weekend with tipping hopefully this weekend is better!

Slater has been ruled out with a hamstring injury suffered Sunday.

Boyd or Ponga to replace ?

Qld will win first game.

I don't think we will win without his defensive input. :(

 

[kmcrosby78]

Going to a be an interesting reshuffle. We've got plenty of good options - hopefully whatever we choose works really well

cheer up baby. They are qldrs  

 

 

[natang]

I reckon Ponga!!! 

[ellicat]

Qld up 6 / 0 at half time in the U18's

 

down 10 / 16 @ full time.

 

[Dinodadog]

NSW were helped to a victory by a loose carry call that should of been a strip and a penalty to QLD , then next try was from a forward pass. QLD had to many missed tackles and turned their backs on the opposition at the wrong time.Also players playing with injuries and others returning with no match fitness. QLD need to do some hard training before next game,some players are just to slow for SOO.

[Drop Bear]

Good work QLD. It was a tight match and a few close calls could have gone our way but that is footy. QLD lost the first one last year and came back. They will be better prepared for the next 2 and will win them both. Yew!!

[natang]

Was a good game. However QLD missed over 50 tackles and you just can't do that at Origin level in comparison to NSW 19.... GI was amazing last night and really stood up. I think Munster, Morgan, GI, Hunt all had really good games. McGuire played well but just lacked match fitness so was struggling to keep up for is normal amount of field time. There were two tries I thought came from forward passes. I even slowed the tv down and paused it to check them and the ball was thrown before the line and caught after the line how is that not forward ?????? However that seems to be the norm now on NRL much like a scrum. My daughter who is nearly 7 was watching with me last night and she asked why they all get together and hug bending over just to pass the ball through the back legs. Which I thought was a great way of describing a scrum now! 

Off to game two now I think we will be okay. I hope Ponga gets a run next game and Milford is rested. Morgan did well at fullback, I guess question is if Billy is fit is he quick enough as NSW have some bloody speed now.....

[kmcrosby78]

Yes it's going to be very interesting to see if/how they fit Ponga into the team. I think Chambers will be getting VERY nervous ...... Good problem for Qld to have. I'm going to Game 3 so fingers crossed we get up in Sydney!!
