    Really? Why?

    It was a throwaway comment really, about me being a terrible backer of winners, and just purely gut feeling, the Knights will cope better without Ponga than the Panthers will without Cleary.

    I'd guess only a try in it either way too, but we haven't really got a lot to go on, just 2 games, that were weeks ago.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Yeah true - hard to judge - New rules have really increased the pace of the game - Cows had a great win - pace of the game seems to suit players like Hess but early doors - time will tell

    Mitchell Pearce off already after four minutes for the Knights, so have to fancy the Panthers now.

    Edit: Knights lost Watson after 10 minutes as well.

    Panthers score first try after 20, first of many I'd guess.

    Edit: Glasby gone after 21 minutes, HIA but looks shook. Knights fcuked.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    What a game! I only caught it from the 2nd half - that’s the best I have seen Knights play in years - they have a steely resolve to get through that without Pearce - isn’t it brill to have this back on Sky - hopefully they will rethink how many games they show in the future - missed the fact Eir Sports showed every game

    JT out for Cows - this does not bode well for us.

    I gave up on it after 60 minutes. Lot of teams were crap before the break, and worse now. Going to be a messy league this year, in more ways than one.

    59 nil. Christ I thought the dragons were bad there's hope yet. 15th looks possible now and that would be an achievement.

    Warriors back to the form we know and love. Panthers sneaked a 26 nil win.

    Expecting the Dragons to bounce back this weekend - they were close in the first two games - I just don't think they or anyone was expecting the Warriors to play as well as they did in round 3.

    We (Cows) have a big challenge tomorrow without JT.

    They have to beat the Bulldogs or Mary is gone even though I feel a bit sorry for him. Hunt should be moved to hooker I think. Dropping Dufty is a big call.

    Yes Dufty is a huge call - terrible games for ya today - Sharks made plenty of mistakes but we were poor in attack

    Big win for the Knights, Raiders were woeful until they were miles behind, damage was done by then.

    That was some game between Titans and Tigers from a neutral viewpoint - great to see Jai Arrow get a win - he is playing very well at the moment.

    Big balls the coaches have, the pundits don't fcuk about with the questions they ask in Oz. Feel sorry for Mary but the Dragons are abysmal.

    Good win for the Warriors, didn't see it, but put plenty of points on the board.

    Dragons have had some serious luck this game. Not even a fan and it's unbelievably tense!

    Warriors have "moved on" Kearney. They were unlucky with a few decisions against the bunnies but he'd probably had enough chances now. Assistant to take temporary charge.
