PS What the fuck has El Masri done to his hair? He used to be the only respected Muslim in Australia. Now he looks as seedy as the rest of the Bulldogs.

I was like wtf when I justt his haircut.

Love your sig Exphate

 

[superralex]

ooo yeah, knights baby.

I will not start on the shit refereeing that was involved in that game, which is benefited Newcastle greatly, but the dragons fell asleep and lost there structure when Wendell went off. Win Jubilee was silent when the game finished as we walked out.

We took our opportunities with the breeze and you guys didn't. We were on the end of a fair few shit penalty calls as well.

The Knights got their fair share your first 3 penalties were nothing and the drop out after it hit Hornby's head last and of course the forward pass for the 2nd try which went forward out of the hands and didn't float forward

^ I'm not saying it cost us the game, our shit defence on our right hand side did during the second half, Newcastle looked dangerous throughout the whole game, so full credit to them

lyon was also included in the squad.

thoughts?

 

[ledzeppelin]

fail = ben cross, ryan hoffman, michael robertson, anthony tupou

 

[ledzeppelin]

plus Luke Bailey (Titans), Colin Best (Rabbitohs), Terry Campese (Raiders) also in squad

 

[Izzay]

yeah sorry bout that, the site i quoted left a few players out.

i find it hard to believe though, that in a 40 man squad they failed to find a place for simpson, mason, anasta and hindmarsh. i like to think these are big-time origin players.

 

[Silverste1n]

What's that team with the blue outfit?

They have to be the best.

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Doesn't matter who they pick. We have no hope of winning the series.

 

[Izzay]

not with the team they selected anyway.

also, stewart out for 8-12 weeks i heard on the radio today.

gidely's time to shine.

 

[Mozza91]

fail = ben cross, ryan hoffman, michael robertson, anthony tupou

Cross has played really well this season and deserves his spot

half-time tonight:
souths 22 - 18 cronulla

Rabbitohs look amazing in attack but are pretty ordinary in defence; They definitely need an enforcer or some kinda defensive specialist to organize their defensive line. I mean, the sharks are one of the worst attacking teams this season so far and are breaking the rabbitoh's line so easily at the moment.

 

[superralex]

Sharks had a big chance to win it. Too much errors at important moments.

Insanity: Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

 

[d3vilz]

the sharks could've won that game if they actually held onto the ball a little longer and not go for a miracle ball or pull a rabbit. souths' forwards were fatigued in the last 10 and they need to fix their defence.

tipping 2/2
