    Very surprised to see the Knights win. Happy that they hung on for the result.

    They seem to play with a lot more heart than the other strugglers, it's great when they win, Dragons were poor today though.

    Storm hammered Manly in the early game, Titans and Wests pretty tight so far in first half, just the one score. Wests lead four nil.

    Edit: dour first half. When the commentators call it an "arm wrestle", you know it's not been pretty.

    Great player, good contract for a 19 year old too.

    NSW should have won origin 2, then 3 they were like rabbits in headlights. The Bulldogs huffed and puffed but have been poor this year, anyone else but Hasler would get the boot I reckon, would you keep faith kirk?

    Well, saying all that, welcome back and hope you had a good holiday!

    Don't think so Danick, too high up the ladder for us round here! (actually can't remember who's colours Mr.NiceGuy has nailed to the mast)


    Your lot comfortable now for top 8, don't see them winning it from here though, do you? Especially sans JT.

    I've not got a team yet really, though there are players I find myself rooting for. I tend to back the underdogs so I find myself wanting the Knights and Warriors to do well.

    I see the Eels have wrapped up a finals place. I wonder can they go all the way.

    Looking forward to the Dragons and Bunnies game this morning, must win for St.George. Sam Burgess back for Souths.

    St George bit of a one man team, Widdop is a machine for them.

    Edit: Dragons defence is dire. Losing 12 6 after 25 mins.

    Good first half, good comeback from the Dragon's too. Burgess rightfully binned for 10.

    Dragons can't defend, another bad loss today, they're dropping like a stone.

    Delighted with their performance against the Storm - considering the injuries - Morgan had s great game and thankfully his arm seemed okay - who do you support?

    You must be looking forward to tomorrow's game - I've backed the Knights - can't believe the Warriors are favourites with the bookies - first back to back win for the Knights in ages methinks- really looking forward to it

    Yeah it's good that at least we know one of them will get a win. :pac: I would think the Knights are more likely to win also.

    Cowboys made a good game of it today. Terrific try from Addo-Carr. When I saw that in real time I was sure he didn't get it down in time.

    I took it upon myself for some kind of masochism to support the Warriors! I agree the Knights should be favourite for the game, Warriors just can't be arsed most weeks watching them. They are unbelievably annoying to watch!

    I do like the Knights though, they seem to give it a go every game and get decent crowds considering their league position most years recently.

    I was certain it was out - it was inch perfect - he is an unreal player.

    My bro-in law is a Queenslander and took me to see Cowboys vs Broncos 7 years ago (Cowoys lost that game) and thanks to Setanta/Eir sport I have been able to support the Cowboys ever since- such a shame JT is out for the rest of the season.

    Its amazing how well they Knights are supported - they do produce some great footy though and at times you wonder why they aren't contenders. Unfortunately, I think the Warriors will struggle to win without Johnson - he is a class player.

    Very good win for the Knights, thought one or two calls were harsh on the Warriors but they are absolutely abysmal and got what they deserved. They just don't defend. Can't wait for their season to be over so they can start planning how they're going to fail next season :(

    A great game to watch - I thought the Warriors were right in it until the last five minutes - really unlucky for Ross - he was having a brill game. Broncos v Titans - who do you think will win?

    Well Titans can't play like last week again surely, I'd like to see them win, but it's hard to know if these teams out of contention play like there's nothing to lose, or nothing to play for.

    Saying all that, I think the Broncos will edge it, by 2 or 3 scores what about you?


    (my trademark terrible tipping should mean a comfortable Gold Coast win)

    Great defence from the Broncos all half, Titans panic every time they get within 10 of Brisbane try line, and going into half time Broncos lead 16 nil.

    Broncos should be down to 12, how the feck is dumping someone on their head not a sending off/sin bin. On report is a cop out. Should be off, then banned for longer.

    Agreed terrible tackle - I didn't see that coming - hard to believe Broncos scored over 50 and kept them to Nil - Did Wayne Bennet nearly crack a smile...lol you are right all the pressure came from Titans in the first half - Broncos were superb in defence.

    I'm hoping the Green machine win the next one - I'm not a huge fan of Paul Gallen - I do like Maloney - he's an exciting player but he is out tonight - that young guy Nick Cotridge seems to be a try scoring machine.

    I can't believe how bad the Titans were. Hayne had a shocker. It's funny how last season so many Eels fans were unhappy Hayne chose the Titans over going back to them yet look at the difference in the two now.

    Hayne is a diamonds and rocks player - as seen in origin - delighted the Raiders won - just shows the influence Maloney has over the Sharks - he should be back for the next one

    Good 2nd half and win for Manly over the Roosters, comfortable on the scoreboard in the end.

    Panthers struggled to pull away from Tigers but win handily enough in the end.
