NRL Season 2018

its only a dead rubber but hunt potted for cherry evans seems a bit of a knee jerk to me. Hunt made a couple of mistakes in game 2 but wasn't on his Pat malone

Evans would be the last one I would put in there. They should have put Haynes in with him to show how hopeless the selectors really are.

White wash coming up.

Another dud buy from the Eels. Ferguson is good when his team is on top - & has already peaked as a player. They need some hard working forwards - almost need to wipe their whole current pack & start again. So what do they do ? - buy another fancy boy in Ferguson. Typical

Refer ALP Election Promises

The Eels selection panel must be all ex-footballers with brain damage.

In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

Like Scamander I am pleased the Knights didnt get him.

animals before people.

The same day as Michael Jennings is dropped to reserve grade after recently extending his $800k a year contract at the Eels.

Parra, the transit lounge, where old players go to top up their retirement funds.

Parra has a few decent forwards....Brown,Alvaro,Manu, Tepi are all decent players but the rest are woeful

Interesting game to night even more so with a few " name" players missing, home crowd /turf could be the swinger, storm by 4 pts.

I hope your correct.

I thought it was easy money but it was only in the final 12 minutes .

Scoring 82 points is a worry. SOO stuffs up the Club games too much.

Some soft tries scored.       .   This competition is really open.

Qld are desperate when they entertain Evans.      I think the big plonk for a NSW whitewash is coming up. ( prices will decide that of course )

I was happy with taking $1.61 Storm tonight ...     until about 14 minutes to go.   From there St George fell apart.
The Sports betting percentage "take" of far less than 3% makes the NSW racing "take" look bad at 10%.

Dragons defence was a bit ordinary without 4 of the starting pack, and then losing another forward early on. I think the experiment of Nightingale as a forward might be shelved! Embarrassed

Very entertaining game, although meaningless. Well done to the Melbourne Fraud - they have more depth than the Dragons, but then they always have had, because they pay their players more than any other club. Ermm

What gave that away?

The 52 points or something else?

Don't know whether your a nark or a stirrer Doc, " they played without 4 of their pack" , well storm had 6 away but their depth was greater , funny that, you would think the young bucks would prefer living in sin city lol, nightingale looks history, Storm have some nippy players who may go on with it and Cameron Smith was the conductor of a well put together orchestra and can imo win the Dally M, 12/1 ATM with Sportsbet,
Melbourne Fraud!....get over it Doc , they have paid the price, turn the page.

Carioca, the Storm had mainly wingers and backs missing - as I said, Dragons were down 4 SOO quality forwards, then lost one of those replacements, and with Nightingale doing a turnstile impersonation in the middle, they were literally 6 first grade quality forwards down after about 5 minutes. So to actually stay in touch as long as they did was an acceptable effort in a meaningless game. Again, the next 3 or 4 rounds will be full of upsets, the norm for this time of year, with players being brought back to club football mentally and physically.

As I said, The Fraud have always had great depth ... it's easy to attract all of the young talent if you can guarantee them that they will be playing with the best and highest paid players, and everyone who plays at the Fraud gets a SOO jumper and two contracts!

Cam Smith is a great player, and Bellamy a good coach, but they should forever be remembered as the chief conspirators in The Fraud ... took the money, like they all did, had the Premierships stripped, never apologised, and never accepted their guilt ... just cheats who were happy to screw the opposition, the game and the fans for their own benefit ... sorry, cant try to steal all of the trinkets and the accolades and then ignore the judges decision when you get caught. Embarrassed

The price can never be paid, due to cost to every other NRL club who played by the rules, but could never match the money they were paying to attract talent - again, they screwed ever stakeholder in the game, and showed no contrition, and claim to this day that they were the true Premiers, and did nothing wrong - we don't need a Melbourne Fraud in the NRL, should have been disbanded, the game would be far better without them and the Warriors.

Do I sound like CNNPT ranting about Trump? ... difference is that the Fraud were guilty.
