Agree. Seems a little unfair doesn't it...

The story I was told years ago, at a QRL regional seminar, by a past QRL chairman... Melbourne were the ones who pushed for, and did all the 'to's and fro's' with the NRL for a yearly Storm v Warriors (with the very Warriors keen) ANZAC Day round match. They apparently offered to meet any outside the 'normal' costs for hosting the annual match. The Melbourne/Victorian RSL's were mad keen for it to be an annual showdown, in Melbourne....

in saying that, times have moved on, fans both sides of the Ditch are the life blood of the game, there is really no reason the NZ equivalent and our RSL and NZRL with the NRL, could not get it to happen

There seemed to be a few teams this round that got out of jail.

[Angry51]

My like button's not working again, so will do

Thanks Gad for the update.

[Angry51]

No worries, got it going again.

[Rebel]

Cowboys better start firing.

[Rebel]

It wasn't all in vain - Reynolds has received a nomination for best actor. haha (maybe worst actor)

Which game is that @ellicat? Well played Tigers!

[ellicat]

WooHoooooo!!!!!! 8 - 12. Not even close. haha

We beat them last year as well. Winning feels so good when you're 17th.

Look out Top 4.

you picked the Cats too, hey

ROUND 9  results..

THURSDAY APRIL 27

Sharks 44  vs  6 Cowboys
well, that turned into a feeding frenzy….

FRIDAY APRIL 28

Eels 43  vs  12 Knights
what can one say?… at least the Knights got 12 to keep their side of the for and against, ticking over
 

Broncos 6  vs  32 Rabbitohs

With 3 key payers out, the Broncos went lame…
surely it’s got to be the time, when the ‘powers that be’, need to shell out some extra $$$$$’s and buy a decent Number 9…  

SATURDAY APRIL 29

Raiders 31  vs  30 Dolphins
I dislike the golden point pot shot endings, in extra time…
IMO, if even at 80 minutes = 1 point each, if not, extra time played for golden try.

Sea Eagles 10  vs  26 Titans
The Titans held out with their lead to get the 2 points… Manly, having Tommy ‘blown again turbo’, Parker, and Schuster out, were missing a lot of fire power

Panthers 8  vs 12 Wests Tigers
Tigger town is roaring….
if most of us can not believe it… how do you think Coach Cleary feels

SUNDAY APRIL 30

Warriors 0  vs  14 Roosters
played in pee poor weather, the score line shows the Roosters were the dominate side

Dragons 16  vs  18 Bulldogs
Despite the ref giving the Dragons a winning advantage at the 58^th minute by sin binning a  Doggy for disputing a one on one  strip, on himself, the Doggies held on for a 2 point win
 

Bye: Storm

[Rebel]

Dragons V Bulldogs.

Top game.Bulldogs plaed well.

[Junky]

Touch judge had a grand on raiders to win hey? 

When betting is involved and people are losing cash to wrong decisions, that makes for some heated discussions. 

 

Thank christ I don't bet. 

[Old Scaley]

Definitely a rough call against the Dolphins. They definitely had the momentum at that stage.

I agree. 

I feel for the boys because they've been robbed and there's not a damn thing they can do about it. 

Be worse if it was finals. 

 

What a start for a new club. 

Melbourne storm all over again. 

[Gad]

No Thurday night game this round.... just an extra day to over analyse your tips...

Thats a warning to steer well clear of the city this weekend. 

I have the perfect place in mind.

[Rebel]

Broncos V Manly.

Broncos. Just to good.

[Rebel]

Raiders V Bulldogs.

Bulldogs unlucky.

I missed most of this game. What happened to the Raider's defense, or were the Bulldogs flash in attack ?

[Rebel]

The Raider's let Burton's bombs bounce. Caused heaps of problems.

As Gus Gould says. Let the ball bounce you are inviting trouble.

It was so packed on the train this arvo I could hardly fit on with my fishing gear.

ROUND 10 (MAGIC ROUND) result…

4/4 wins for Qld teams this round.

FRIDAY MAY 5

Bulldogs 30  vs  34 Raiders

8^th played 14^th, 64 points scored… Raiders 4 point winning margin…

I think that says more about the injury riddled , 14^th placed doggies than the Raiders getting the win…
 

Sea Eagles 6  vs  32 Broncos
The horses starved the chip stealing seagulls….
 

SATURDAY MAY 6

Warriors 6  vs  18 Panthers
Hard fought game. Losing 3 players to injuries, and copping two lots of sin bins did not do any favours for the Warriors chances of an upset…

Sharks 16  vs  36 Dolphins
So, dolphins do beat up sharks

Storm 12  vs  28 Rabbitohs
The ‘big name’ Bunnies wanted in, for the 80 minutes, and frustrated the Storm out of the  game

SUNDAY MAY 7

Wests Tigers 18  vs  16 Dragons
The Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet are ecstatic that the Tigers season has finally started with a 2 in a row…

Roosters 6  vs  20 Cowboys
Kock-a doodle-do the Roosters were finally able to score.. in the wet on a heavy track the Cowboys mudlarks, paved the way to a decisive win.

Titans 26  vs  24 Eels
The Titans held on, again…

[Old Scaley]

Go the Qld teams! 4 out of 4! I was expecting Magic Round to be Tragic Round for my tipping, but if I hadn’t changed my tip from Souths to Storm at the last minute, it truly would have been magic for me. It won’t last, so I want to enjoy it while it does.

[ellicat]

Yesterday would have been a great day to attend, with two Qld teams and the Tigers all getting up.

Bad luck missing out on the extra 2, Steve.

Haha, I was hoping 3 of them would lose for you ......... .

Traitor.  I will be watching to see who you tip for State of Origin, Kelvin. 

[Angry51]

Yes, my own fault, I tipped the cowboys, titans, and the phins and

then thought of the betting odds and changed all my tips.

My own stupid fault, I can see your smile from here Steve.

Good onya, you deserve the points for being faithful.

[Junky]

Lang Park ground must look like quagmire right now.

[Rebel]

Broncos V Storm.

Terrible refree. Didn't have a clue.

The bunker. Useless.

Cheers.

[ellicat]

I reckon he is the best referee of the bunch. But, like all the refs, has to make calls made by the bunker.

[Rebel]

Easts V Penrith.

Penrith just to good.

[Rebel]

Warriors V Bulldogs.

Well done Warriors.

[Rebel]

Souths are back.

[Rebel]

Dragons are history.
