Let’s Go Broncos!

[Angry51]

Onya Greg, you got a clean sweep.

That should put a smile on your dial,,,,,,

[ellicat]

@GregOug has to get the Origin tip right to get the 2 bonus points. This will test his loyalty tipping. haha

When you’re used to losing there’s really no pressure.

I thought only rounds with 8 games played/correctly tipped qualified for the 2 bonus points.

[ellicat]

You could be right, @Hweebe. I'm just making an assumption.

Or you are just messing with @GregOug - with origin mindgames?

[ellicat]

Maybe. haha

[Angry51]

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines as Hweebe.

That’d be right.

[kmcrosby78]

I think all rounds qualify for bonus points but I could be wrong. Go the Maroons - Ben Hunt for Man of Match .

Round Seventeen results…

Thursday, July 7

Sharks 28  vs. 6 Storm
Sharkies, far too good for a severely depleted Storm side…
 

 Friday, July 8

Knights 28  vs. 40  Rabbitohs
Cody Walker, and the ‘down on troops’ Rabbitohs par boiled the Knights.
 

Saturday, July 9

Tigers 20  vs. 28 Eels
definitely not the ‘Year of the Tiger’… Parra has first win at Leichhardt Oval, in 21 years

Sunday, July 10

Broncos 32  vs. 18 Dragons
Bronco’s Man of the Match award goes to … Tariq Sims'

GO the MAROONS

Hahahah in years gone by teams could sometimes sustain / hold their line with 1 in the bin, seems the rules and speed of the game have made the 10 in the bin an almost certain loss. Either through points conceded during the 10 or getting completely gassed at the end of the game.

I guess what i'm saying is 10 in the bin is too harsh a penalty and ruins the spectacle. I reckon put it on report and deal with it at the judiciary.

[Angry51]

No, if you don't want the bin,

    Don't do the sin.

Latest team news

Queensland

The QRL announced on Saturday morning that PCR swabs have confirmed both Cameron Munster and Murray Taulagi have COVID-19 and will miss Wednesday's Origin decider. The pair had earlier returned positive Rapid Antigen Tests on Friday and been isolated from the rest of the squad. Broncos Winger Corey Oates and Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden will both come into the Maroons 17, with the final line-up still to be confirmed.

Munster is the big loss. I think bringing Oates will be a great benefit to the team, given his form this year. And he almost acts as an extra forward at times.

[kmcrosby78]

Queenslanderrrrr!!!!!!  Ben Hunt!!! You little beauty!!!

Someone took over my account for a minute there.

[kmcrosby78]

Good to have the real Greg back

[ellicat]

How good was that !!

[Hweebe]

What a game - even the biff made a comeback.

Ponga stepped up in munsters absence. 

It was surprising how NSW fowards didn't get as much of a roll on without the 6 agains constantly being awarded in G2

He's done it.....

[Angry51]

From some of the comments I'd swear some members

doubted the QLDers.

Was good eh?.....

Probably enough tears down there to start another FLOOD.

Does Joey have a coaching / mentor role with the blues camp?

Actually good to hear him speak his mind and show that he does care about origin.

hahaha makes you question how much of the "genius" play was him or the pills.

Definitely cooked / missing something but makes for different commentary point of view rather then the cookie cutter mold.

[Hweebe]

@ellicatSheens and Marshall to coach the tigers? What do you think, matched made in heaven? Or no sane current coach would take the gig, so that had to blood a rookie?

Pretty smart by Marshall - its pretty much a 2 year trial period. If he likes what he sees he stays on, if there is no progress at the tigers he can quit and go back to fox commentary

[ellicat]

I think they should have signed Flanagan if he was interested. Apart from 2003 to 2005, Sheens' coaching record at the Tigers wasn't great. Nor was his record at the Cowboys. However, he is experienced and the players seemed to gel with him, so maybe player retention will be better. He was also good with developing younger players.

The 5 year plan is risky and I don't like the idea, but plans can/do change. A wait and see is the only option and I will still be hopeful each game.

[Angry51]

I think Benji is a proper Tiger and should be able to do something with the team.

Got to let him try.

Yeah,He was a self confessed drug addict, how did he

get a job on the TV. Should be in jail with the other junkies.

Gallon's mate, born with a big mouth!!!

You can probably tell I don't like cheats.

Round Eighteen results…

Friday, July 15

Cowboys 12  vs. 26 Sharks
Sharkies are starting to look world beaters… against understrength, top 8 sides

Eels 28  vs. 18 Warriors
for much of the match there was no certainty, but the Eels got the 2 points on offer….

Saturday, July 16

Roosters 54  vs. 26 Dragons
all up, 13 trys, 12/13 conversions, and 2/2 penalty goals…..

Sea Eagles 42  vs. 12 Knights

Hmmm, the eagles are yet to be tested by a double spread of duck shot… just musing, of course

Titans 12  vs. 16 Broncos
the Broncos with key players out, and 57 missed tackles still kept the Lego Titans boxed…

Sunday, July 17

Tigers 16  vs. 18 Panthers
turned into a cat fight….

Storm 16  vs.  20 Raiders
Raiders stand tall at AMII Park… again.

Bulldogs 28  vs. 36 Rabbitohs
Dogs barked, snarled and clawed… Bunnies out ran them….
