You know the Cowboys won the second half 2 tries and a converted try to a single penalty goal - at least they finished well - hopefully this injury phase will end soon.

The injury phase has to end soon, they haven't got many players left to get injured.

True - first game today was a thriller - I won't say anything else in case you want to watch it later

Loving the way the doggies have started here - loads of offloads - great to watch!

It's funny because they have such a reputation for dour grunt Rugby, that shows they can really play, shame it's come so late in the season.

Lot of unhappy Raiders fans on twitter after the Penrith defeat. Panthers on a roll, never really totally convincing, but still getting the wins.

It was a great game - like you said - it is a pity they don't play like that more often.

Titans have sacked their coach. I'd let Hayne go too if I were them. Luxury player who's as prone to a dud performance as a good one, it would free up a load on their salary cap too.

Mr.Nice Guy · 21-08-2017 4:19pm

The Raiders defence hasn't been as good as last year. Good win for the Panthers.

Tom Mann Centuria · 24-08-2017 1:49pm

Wow, some performances from the Eels against the Broncos. Radradra unstoppable.

They are a great team - commentators reckoned that Broncos had been lucky to get away with the way they have been playing in the last couple of matches - can't say I noticed - I thought they had been playing really well and notching up high scores. Cows tomorrow - here's hoping we can get a win.

Mr.Nice Guy · 24-08-2017 8:18pm

I was thinking of the Eels as a possible dark horse for the Grand Final if Semi stays fit, although defensively I'd be concerned about them. Very exciting to watch at the moment.

brandnewaward · 25-08-2017 1:11am

how about kirasome getting the quickest try ever...... takes an ex bunny

Tom Mann Centuria · 26-08-2017 7:50am

Kirk should be a happy poster, Bulldogs back to winning ways! Admittedly it's only the Titans (who were better 2nd half than first), but a wins a win!

Tom Mann Centuria · 26-08-2017 9:22am

Melbourne are very good, but Jebus, they get every decision, and the commentators w*nkathon over them is nauseating. Fast beginning to hate (rather than dislike) Storm as a result.

I know what you mean but I must say I love that combo of Addo-Carr and Vunivalu on the wings. The speed of Addo-Carr for two of those tries was breathtaking.

Tom Mann Centuria · 27-08-2017 7:21am

Warriors managed to lose again, thought they'd hang on for that one, still, showed a bit of fight I suppose.

Tom Mann Centuria · 27-08-2017 8:56am

What a defensive display from the Dragons. Excellent game.

Tom Mann Centuria · 28-08-2017 8:07am

Best and worst case scenarios for teams in contention. https://twitter.com/NRL/status/902063214975787012/photo/1

Mr.Nice Guy · 28-08-2017 11:28pm

That game between Manly and Panthers on Saturday will be huge. I may get up early for that one. Sunday is also significant with the loser of Manly/Panthers having to hope the Dragons don't go and capitalise by beating the Bulldogs.

They should be a great few days.

Disappointing result for the Cowboys. I thought they might get one over on the Broncos given there was so much on the line. Now they face an anxious wait over the weekend.

Think the Cowboys time in the play offs will be short even if they stay in top 8 after the final round of regular season (which I think they will), they've just be obliterated by injuries.

I'm going to miss every game this round which is a bit of a bummer. Going to record the lot.

tipped Newcastle and the warriors to upset this week , nothing to lose at this stage . debating should I got the bunnies game tonight.......

Do, last hurrah for the season. How much is it to get in?

Don't fancy the Warriors tbh, unless Tigers have gone on holiday early.

Nice work.

Mr.Nice Guy · 01-09-2017 11:40pm

Radradra is on fire at the minute. I can't wait to see how the Eels fare against the Storm next week. Most pundits seems to think Storm will win handily but I think it could be close.

PhilipsR · 02-09-2017 10:00am

Squeaky bum time for Penrith for the next 10 minutes. 28-0 down. If it gets to 38, they could miss out on the play offs if the Dragons win tomorrow...

Penrith did enough in the end then, Storm go marching on (don't think I'll bother watching that.)

Mr.Nice Guy · 02-09-2017 4:15pm

Manly were very impressive.

Tom Mann Centuria · 03-09-2017 6:32pm

So the regular season is over, on to the Play offs!

Roosters, Storm, Sea Eagles and Sharks for me.

Mr.Nice Guy · 03-09-2017 10:43pm

Dragons just not good enough when it counted.

Some good games to look forward to. I will predict wins for the Broncos, Storm, Panthers and Sharks.

Saw that alright, what's the rumour there?

In other news, Bunnies need a new coach.

Doubt he'll be out of work long. Seems like a decent bloke.

He should get shot of Hayne and free up their salary cap if he goes there.

brandnewaward · 07-09-2017 1:01am

who would buy hayne at this rate? he's like a cancer to clubs lately

True, maybe just suck it next season and hope he gets some kind of interest back/or form back. He won't be at the Titans after then anyway.

Tom Mann Centuria · 07-09-2017 1:15am

James Graham has signed a three year deal with the Dragons. Generous to give him the three years, but still an excellent player.

good friday clashes wont be the same without him and grub reynolds.......did I hear Grub is off to Cronulla?

Danick · 08-09-2017 9:54am

If anyone is interested in having a punt - the odds for a draw in all four games are favourable

Great story from the Bulldogs awards night, he was willing to give up thousands and thousands of his own contracted money to keep Reynolds at the Bulldogs.
