Official 2010 Aussie NRL Thread

I noticed in the Brit forum you put some coin on the Bunnies and Manly. Easy money right there.

The chooks will be nothing but sub zero cold from now on. They came out all guns blazing while the rest of the pack are still ironing out off season errors, so good on them for getting their little piggy back too :good but the season is in motion now.

A one legged man has more luck winning an arse kicking competition than the Roosters do of getting into the top 8.

 

The Dogs/Warriors game was a good one this week. I'd chase that up if I were you. Also chase up the Roosters loss to the Panthers. Funny stuff right there

 

Yup its the only bet I can see this weekend .... i was impressed with the Broncos application on saturday against the dragoons and with those five back they could be hungry for the two points and lets face it Cronulla are shite !

.... think st george are missing four of there pack as well so laffranchi and his minders may have a bit too much for the dragons but wouldnt like to put too much cash on that one ...

 

Both are shithole places but we are the better footy team.

And i love the fact that since i been alive(1986) parra havent won another comp.

But ummmmmm the mighty Panthers have done it twice baby..

24years since winning their last premiership from a club that has all the tools to do so(huge pool of talented juniors,huge Fanbase and decent financial backing).

Oh yes i love it..

But hey Parra should have the Blues Captain in their side..**** hindy must be losing more then just his ability to take a decent hit up if he even thinks he is worthy of cutting the Blues oranges.

He needs to retire.Watching him take a hit up has become comical.

Im glad our old stager is Big petero..:good

 

You are probably right buyt **** those names dont impress me that much.

How the Broncs have fallen..Remember when they had a whole side of origin/test players.

Even with a few injuries the Broncos havent looked as crap( ON PAPER )then they do these days.

Of those names mentioned above i think only Falou would even get close to a sniff in previous Bronco sides.

 

one more Queensland team shouldnt effect the Broncos that much.Aint like leagues a secondary sport in Queensland.

I knew the Broncos were going down hill the moment they Purchased the likes of Joel Clinton and Ashton Sims.The Broncos were forever known as a team that rarely purchased outside of queensland or non Bronco Developed players..

Look at people they have purchased in past 5years..Been some duds.

To me growing up i thought **** man to play for the broncs as a non Queenslander you got to be the business.Not anymore.

You never would of seen a player of Dave Taylor calibre even think of joining a rival club. Broncos used to have the aura about them.

 

Just downloaded the Bulldogs v NZ Warriors game. What do cowboys fans think now Thurston is out? Was speaking to a Cowboys fan at work and he didnt seem to bothered. He didnt think the side were gonna do anything with him anyway.

 

Titans dusted the Dragons? It was 28-24 hardly a dusting. Panthers dusted the scum last weekend :deal

I think Souths will win again, but I'm not sure if it'll be a dusting. The Eels will be desperate for a win, and well Souths just may get complacent after having a good 3 weeks.
I still see us winning though. Our defence has been great this season. Champion has stepped up and he was our main liability last season. Talanoa's still a bit Hegarty like with his running infield, but not as bad, but theres still points to be scored out his way.

I cant really see the Eels halves putting it together overnight too. Our halves are still finding their way but their a couple of steps ahead of Parra's lot.

I'm happy this game is being played at ANZ (Parra's home game still) as we dont really travel well at Parramatta stadium. It'll also be an atmosphere we're used too and there should be a few Souths fans there too.

I dont think there will be a lot of points scored in this one. Something like 18-10 or there abouts. I'd take 18-10 as well

The week after that we have Canberra in Canberra. They're our bogey side and for some reason always give us a pasting.

 

Don't forget Melbourne. I believe they have some sort of affiliation with a number of junior clubs in Qld, and maybe even in the Qld cup too.

 

He'll be out for around 3-4 weeks.

The difference between the Cowboys finishing top 8 or bottom 3 is Johnathan Thurston. No other team relies that much on one player.

 

UK fans it looks like that new channel MSK (sky 433) are going to be showing:
fri - titans vs dragons or wests vs bulldogs
sat - knights vs cowboys
sun - broncos vs sharks
