Well Burton goes to Bulldogs.
Naden has also signed elsewhere. Kurt Capewell is a Queenslander and he has been linked to boost the Broncos forward pack, especially if Lodge is offloaded. I am not aware how that affects the top 17, but it lessens the depth.

I would be surprised if they weren't prepared for a post-Burton life well before he signed elsewhere, the reality is that genuine NRL standard halves find a starting spot eventually, he was never going to stay behind Luai and Cleary for long.
Naden is yesterdays news already, Momirovski is likely next cab off the rank in the outside backs. They'll miss Capewell no doubt but they'll have succession plans there. Their reserve grade side is also unbeaten (8 from 8) and have an average winning margin of just over 24 points, slightly higher than the a grade side, the club is obviously well run from top to bottom, I think they're in for a run of sustained success. This will naturally lead to guys on the fringes leaving for better offers elsewhere but if they manage succession properly this won't be a problem.

Cleary probably the exception. Penrith are just following the Roosters/Storm model that has led to them dominating the competition in recent times, build and lock down the players you want in your spine and then grab the best available from there.

Well if ya going to take a scalp ....take a big one Broncos give the Roosters a touch up sin binning is taking its toll on teams , most are what the new ruling was brought in for but there are a couple of no significance at all , there will be rumblings again I feel , Victor the inflictor had a torrid night , might be another little stretch coming up .

he got pinged three times, then copped one. He's definitely going for a holiday, if only for the shoulder to the head...
a very entertaining game, in a frantic way... |

I hope Storm can keep Nic Hyne , had a blinder to night but overall his games improving all the time , missed the first half of chooks , but the " new boy on the block " had a soft landing from what I saw of him , can't keep em in cotton wool imo they've gotta face the music sometime .

Suaalii played the full 80 minutes carioca, was solid in defense, made a few hitups and went close to scoring a couple of times. Being only 17 though they had to have a different jumper for him without the sponsor Unibet's logo across the top back of it, because he isn't old enough to bet legally.

That Roosters-Broncos game was a classic example of "bad side performing at the top of their bell curve plus getting the rub of the green" vs "good side playing at the bottom of their bell curve and not getting the rub of the green".
Broncos turned up, played well and deserved their win, but surely even their most one eyed fans couldn't claim the refereeing wasn't helpful in some way towards that. Fox are talking up this afternoons games as possibly the best Sunday arvo of footy ever and whilst that is hyperbole more than anything it still shapes as an interesting afternoon, Panthers should account for Souths but it will still be a good litmus test for the young side as to how they're travelling, all going well they could be 14-0 heading into the consecutive Friday night home clashes with the Roosters and Eels in round 15 and 16. Speaking of the Eels they should also take care of Manly however with the Roosters reeling this is Manly's chance to make a statement and jump clear of the log jam of teams from 6th-12th and move into the top 6.

I should add, Manly's next tough game is August 7 vs Melbourne, so a win today could kick start a good run for them.

Roosters are running on fumes. There are going to be quite a few "upset" wins against them. Is Victor Radley unusually thick, even by NRL forward standards? Talk about a slow learner.

Imo he's not a dirty player at all , but he reminded me of a fox in a chook house that had a taste of blood and wanted more , 3 to4 weeks will give him time to think about his future , he'll come round and be better for it , too good to sit on the fence , in a different paddock I've gone for the bunnies to edge out the panthers and the eels too good for manly , looking forward to a pleasant a/ noon .

When Storm get back Grant, Papenhuzen, Munster, Hughes & K Bromich, baring future injuries, surely they will give any team a run for their money. None of those played last night against, admittedly a weakened Raiders side, but still won 34-10.

To add further to Storm's current form they are the first team in premiership history to win eight straight games by at least 13 points.

15 different charges from Saturday's games
Victor Radley facing four weeks on the sidelines for two different charges.
Angus Crichton also facing two weeks for a dangerous contact charge.
Both now looking like they'll miss Origin I.

Panthers off to a flyer, 16-0 after 16 minutes and Latrell looks like he has let down well during his layoff. Looks gassed already.

3 head shots penalised so far. Nobody on report and nobody sin binned.
Maybe the rules have changed again overnight.

he's a piker. They get past him, he gives up. mind you, a good few other players aren't looking too fit, either. you could run an elephant through some of those gaps.

it's a toss-up whether the biggest dud out there is Mansour or Mitchell.
Penrith are a pleasure to watch.
