MCL injury confirmed for the flat earther.

Be nice if we just had 1 winger close to being that quick.

TT is quick, just not as big.

Inruin's Unscientific Match Up Snapshots

Knights v Dolphins
A scrappy win for the Knights away against an equally scrappy Tigers side while the Dolphins were a little unlucky to lose after suffering a late change of venue and players pulling out of the side.
Dolphins 1-12

Warriors v Sea Eagles
Warriors were incredibly disappointing in Vegas after all the hype and have named the same team looking for redemption. Manly on the other hand were hugely impressive in their first hit out of the season. A high-quality band for this Jazz session in Penrose.
Sea Eagles 13+

Panthers v Roosters
Everyone keeps asking if this is the year the Panthers slip but they showed against the title contender Sharks that they are up for another crack at the crown. Roosters struggled at home against a very good Broncos side wanting to make a statement. Roosters down on troops and a mid-table team at best.
Panthers 13+

Dragons v Rabbitohs
Dragons looked to have a bit of round 1 jitters against the Dogs last week. Rabbitohs got the Master a win over the Apprentice’s disrupted Dolphins. Dragon’s at home.
Dragons 1-12

Cowboys v Sharks
Cowboys at home but were very disappointing last round and continued on from their inconsistent season last year. Sharks were good against the reigning 4 time champs and should be too good if they are serious about challenging for the title.
Sharks 1-12

Raiders v Broncos
Raiders were far too good last week against a very poor Warriors side. Broncos were highly impressive once they clicked into gear. Raiders missing Tapine and Broncos with confidence.
Broncos 13+

Eels v Tigers
Storm smashed the Eels off the park and Dylan Brown has announced he is leaving. Tigers get Bula and Koroisau back, if they can hold on to the ball, they should get the lollies
Tigers 1-12

Bulldogs v Titans
Dogs did what they needed to last weekend and continue to build year on year. Titans are the unknown having the bye in the first round. Potential match of the round and perhaps, if the Titans get it together defensively, the upset of the round too?
Titans 1-12

Got any tips/margins right yet champ.

Quick off the mark but I doubt he has the speed of Alofiana

 

[Beastmode]

How easy was that??????!!!!

 

[Makasene]

I don't think we beat the Titans this year.

We just can't handle teams like this

 

[Inruin]

Better from the Titans

Are the titans not just like the the eagles when it comes to play style? Rocks or diamonds, everything on attack. Not saying that we can easily repeat that eagles game tho.

 

[Inruin]

That Brimson no try could end up costly

There is something about the Titans we can't handle

Think they have won 5 of the last 6 against us.

I think they are more dangerous than Manly

Fifita has played 0 mins so far... What is des doing here? Is he injured or is it punishment?

Titans are missing the bustle and muscle of Erin Clark
That Kleis Haas I m not sold on.

 

[Makasene]

Loss of Burton is massive.

Can see Titans coming home to nab this one.

Oh man would I love that, in front of that dogs crowd too.

Hasn’t got the motor to play big minutes in 35 degrees

The NRL should be playing this game over four quarters break and drinks break after each quarter

No player welfare

I disagree with the massive change to the NRL. But to the fifita thing, I swear he can at least do 40-50 mins. Would even get a 10 min break in-between if they subbed him on in the first half.

Des has been watching cuddles
Cuddles plays players for 20 min only

35 degrees is v hard

He should, if he isn’t.

Might bring his blood pressure down a bit,

They've got a pretty good forward pack, Makasene, and their backs are lightening quick! Tanner Boyd should supply some insight. Man that AK-P knows the line doesn't he? Great pass from Kelly to set up his 1st.

Doggies started on fire but their fans stfu in the last 10mins. Easy as try for Curran but, yeah, good on 'em. Montoya's doin' his job. Wilson's got some traffic comin' his way...
