The Panthers comeback was great viewing. Matt Moylan stepped up in a big way.

Tom Mann Centuria · 12-06-2017 7:29pm

Convincing 2nd half for the Bulldogs against the Dragons.

Tom Mann Centuria · 16-06-2017 2:31pm

Good win for South Sydney, even when Titans were 10 points up they never looked comfortable. Hammering in the 2nd half.

Tom Mann Centuria · 18-06-2017 8:30am

Eels thumping the Dragons.

Mr.Nice Guy · 19-06-2017 1:18am

The Eels have some serious pace.

Tom Mann Centuria · 19-06-2017 1:21am

Wheels have well and truly fallen off at the Dragons, only going one way in the ladder now it seems.

Origin two in the morning, Blues to blow the Maroons away is my guess.

Mr.Nice Guy · 21-06-2017 12:16am

I expect a Blues win too, but the return of Thurston will be fascinating. If there's one guy that might be able to drag Queensland over the line it's him.

Queersland by 8 , sorry to say.

Tom Mann Centuria · 21-06-2017 1:02pm

Great game, NSW forgot to come out 2nd half.

Mr.Nice Guy · 21-06-2017 2:25pm

Looked like Hayne screwed up a chance for a certain try with a strange pass. If he threw it as normal the Blues looked like they'd have put the game to bed.

It's going to be a cracking finale in a few weeks.

One other thing: I was watching on Eir sport and the coverage was a disaster. The feed cut and I missed two tries for the Blues in the first half and it went out in the second half as well. I've not had those issues with Eir before. I was worried it was going to cut right at Thurston's pivotal kick!

Yeah cut out the for me as well. Premier sports cut though too, so not a lot eir could do about it since thats who they get their coverage off.

I'm in USA for next two weeks, so no rugby league for me.

Been some good comebacks this weekend. The Roosters' one was impressive.

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-06-2017 10:32pm

Only just heard the news that Thurston is out for the season with his shoulder injury. Gutted. I wanted him in the Origin decider. It would have really added to the occasion.

Mr.Nice Guy · 01-07-2017 10:20pm

Was very impressed with Storm's performance against the Broncos. That Vunivalu catch got me out of my chair. He's one of my favourite players.

Eye-catching performance from Cronulla today as well.

kirk buttercup · 02-07-2017 10:37am

How about them bunnies

brandnewaward · 03-07-2017 12:19am

cracker of a game

Met madge after the game and gave the guy a massive man hug haha. AJ has equalled the club record for most tries scored.....

Mr.Nice Guy · 03-07-2017 2:32pm

Hell of a performance from Johnston. Shame he couldn't get that sixth and break the record.

I thought the Panthers would be one to watch this season given how they finished last season strongly, but they've been very disappointing.

My thoughts exactly

brandnewaward · 04-07-2017 12:56am

full sure they would play semis...... Don't write off the bunnies yet , that kid we traded Robbie Rochow for is a gun

Mr.Nice Guy · 08-07-2017 7:13pm

Hell of a performance from Radradra today for the Eels against Storm. I'm a Vunivalu fan but Semi got the better of him in this game.

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-07-2017 10:10pm

Poor Knights.

Brilliant ending to the game though.

kirk buttercup · 10-07-2017 11:05pm

In Holland lads missing all the action your posts are keeping me updated

Yeah, I kept up to date here when I was away too.

Mr.Nice Guy · 11-07-2017 3:21pm

Less than 24 hours to go for the big State of Origin decider. I read that Fifita is missing the chance to see his baby's birth for the game and his partner supports him in that! Goes to show how high the stakes are.

Tom Mann Centuria · 12-07-2017 10:46am

Not long now, good piece on Thurston on at the moment. Not a paid up member of his fan club but he is/was a true great. Best of the modern era. I think him being out is a big psychological blow for Qld, and I fancy NSW to pull off a shock.

Tom Mann Centuria · 12-07-2017 11:37am

Blues under all sorts of pressure at the moment, but still only a converted try in it.

Tom Mann Centuria · 12-07-2017 11:42am

And Qld go in again. Prediction shaping up to be as accurate as usual.

Has that late defeat last game knocked the stuffing from NSW? They've never looked as flat the whole series.

Tom Mann Centuria · 12-07-2017 11:58am

12 nil at half time to the Maroons, could have been way worse, left at least another 12 on the pitch.

Tom Mann Centuria · 12-07-2017 12:42pm

That's the game, 22 6 after this kick.

Mr.Nice Guy · 12-07-2017 10:09pm

What a pass from Cronk! I was out of my seat for that one. Disappointing that we didn't have a frantic finish to the game.

This must be a hard one to take for the Blues. It seemed like everything fell into place for them and yet they couldn't get the win.

This was their year for the taking. I think Laurie Daley might call it a day now, as you say, hard to one to take.

Tom Mann Centuria · 14-07-2017 10:20am

Great game between Warriors and Panthers.

Edit: Looks like the Panthers have it won now, 5 to go.

Tom Mann Centuria · 14-07-2017 11:35am

Raiders and Dragons putting on another good game now. Dragons lead 10 6 with 5 left in first half.

Tom Mann Centuria · 14-07-2017 12:47pm

Good golden point win (well 4 points) for the Raiders.

Mr.Nice Guy · 14-07-2017 7:14pm

Good games today. You have to feel sorry for the Warriors. They lose the game to the Panthers and then afterwards reports suggest that Shaun Johnson's season could be in doubt due to a knee injury.

They've suggested it might impact on next season as well which would be a nightmare. Think the Warriors season is done now, just not consistent enough to go on the type of run needed in the games they have left.

Mr.Nice Guy · 15-07-2017 9:59pm

Titans convincingly beating the Sharks today in those dreadful conditions surprised me.

Tom Mann Centuria · 17-07-2017 9:27pm

Looks like NSW's Josh Dugan and Blake Ferguson are under the spotlight for an evening in the pub on the Friday before Origin decider (it was official day off). I'd have thought they'd have had plenty of time to get over it but scapegoats always need to be found.

Tom Mann Centuria · 20-07-2017 8:04am

Strong rebuttal from NSW RL regarding the drinking story, and s couple of other things mentioned in the press.

Tom Mann Centuria · 20-07-2017 8:12am

Broncos will probably be too strong for the Bulldogs today, but I'm hoping for a surprise doggies win.

Mr.Nice Guy · 20-07-2017 5:50pm

Great performance from the Broncos today. I thought it might be closer as the Bulldogs' defence is one of the best. I think that ends Canterbury's finals hopes.

Mr.Nice Guy · 22-07-2017 12:08am

Looks like the Rabbitohs' hopes of making the finals are over after losing to the Sharks. Sam Burgess may have a fractured rib too.

Tom Mann Centuria · 22-07-2017 7:22am

Panthers and Titans putting on a good game this morning.

Tom Mann Centuria · 23-07-2017 6:03am

Since my brain had decided it's time to be awake, might as well watch the second half of the Dragons Sea Eagles game. Much better atmosphere there, playing in a traditional home stadium. Being 30 nil up probably helps the atmosphere though!

Tom Mann Centuria · 23-07-2017 6:24am

Not thirty up anymore! Manly have scored four unanswered tries, three of them when they were down to 12 men. Close game now.

Edit: then Dragons go straight back down the other end and get 2 converted tries. Much more comfortable gap again, game over now I'd say. Good game, terrible defence from both teams this half.

Tom Mann Centuria · 23-07-2017 7:46am

Another decent game at the minute between Tigers and Eels.
