Thank god we've got the bye so I don't have to watch this shitshow.

You have here, in my view, the best televised sporting comp on the planet, and still, there's complaints?

Yes. You try supporting Newcastle and tell me how enjoyable you find it...

I suppose we all have our crosses to bear. As I've made clear in the past, we were glad to get shot of Jackson Hastings. Watching him every week would annoy me too.

I know he's not the worst halfback going around, so I should be grateful. However, he's got such a punchable head and an annoying personality so it's pretty grating haha.

Surely the Warriors win tonight? They seem to find new ways to lose each week.

If you can't win tonight, you may as well fold.

Watch Melbourne put 50 on Parramatta and bemoan the fact we got the only decent game Parra have played all season against us…

So are we expecting a similar result to magic round

 

[CURVE]

Parramatta are their own worst enemy tonight, have looked really good but have handing the Storm two tries.

 

[CURVE]

Nice pass from Tom Brady.

While instantly sinking the NRL crowd average.

Pretty ordinary game, but another great crowd for a team clearly struggling.

If the Broncos were a real horse it would be in the glue factory or in cans of pet food by now

 

[CURVE]

One of the Broncos players from the women's team looks to be in real trouble, she threw a punch which connected with Cherrington in the jaw.

 

[eddiesmith]

Adam Gee is without doubt the biggest cheat in the NRL

 

[Falconista]

Could the Bulldogs be a smoky chance of taking the Sharks spot in the four?

Well our next 4 games are the Rabbitohs, Titans, Knights and Dragons.

 

[moto748]

I think Sharks fans must be thinking, they can't believe their luck. Don't get me wrong; I like the Sharks, and they can play some lovely rugby. In fact, for me, they are peas in a pod with the Cowboys, about whom the same could be said, but they don't seem to be able to put in a 80 min performance. And now, despite not really looking like the third best team in the comp, they are presented with as easy a run-out as you could have chosen.

And yeah, on the Bulldogs, couldn't help but be impressed with their attack. Looked very sharp indeed.

Yet only got a sin binning and not a send off…

 

[CURVE]

She was sinbinned for the hip drop, she wasn't punished for the punch.

Heard Badger was in the box, that makes sense!!!

The NRLW was a more interesting this weekend than the NRL

NRLW Judiciary Report: Nu'uausala faces lengthy ban; Cherrington charged

Broncos prop Annetta-Claudia Nu'uausala faces up to six matches on the sidelines after being hit with two separate charges arising from the Round 1 clash with the Eels.

Nu'uausala has been charged with Grade 2 Dangerous Contact for a hip drop on Kennedy Cherrington, along with a Grade 1 Striking offence which occurred in the ensuing melee.

Both are the front-rower's second and subsequent charges of that kind, meaning she faces two-match bans for each if she enters early guilty pleas, which increase to three-match bans if she is found guilty at panel.

Cherrington meanwhile was charged for Grade 1 Contrary Conduct which carries a 1-2 match ban, however under Rule 39A she can elect to pay a fine of $400 instead of a one-match suspension upon entering a plea of guilty, meaning she can avoid a ban altogether if she opts not to fight the charge.

The hip drop was on Kennedy's younger sister Reuben, and Kennedy then ran in and pushed Nu'uausala which started the melee.

All the NRLW charges are below.

Jeez, I hate this no jeopardy rule on drop-outs. Just wrong. Great effort from the Titans, most enjoyable to watch! Khan-Pereira well on track for that amazing record. All the more so because it's not like he's playing for a top side.
