Benji over Kodi on the bench makes zero sense to me. This is simply a stubborn choice from Bennett sticking it to people who bagged Benji being signed.
KNik has a hip injury I believe. And Marshall has had an impact in every game he's played, minus the first.
Bulldogs have one of the worst attacks I've seen in NRL history. 20 offloads and they can't do shit with it. Hasler went from arguably the best coach to one of the worst.
how stupid are the broncos for not taking the 2 at around the 60th min 35m out right in front. deserved to lose for that arrogance
Kenny Edwards is the biggest dickhead in the game, he just needs to sneeze and people will blow up about it. Deserves everything that comes his way and then some though.
Game gets steadily softer every year. Anything that even remotely looks heavy gets people up in arms. They'll all be playing touch footy soon. Look at all the dickheads who blew up about Johns saying Thurston should've been targeted. These people know fuck all about RL.
lol at Arabs saying it's misconduct and not in the spirit of the game. What game is he watching - badminton?
still a correct comment tho. arabs come over here and start pretending like they know what they're talking about.
More shocked that Sharks are second with a 5-5 home record this year. Fuck this Canberra/Souths game needs to be taken out the back and shot.
Gotta wonder how much longer Souths persist with Tom & George Burgess, feet for hands, lethargic things.
Both Cows tries come off the back off Bullshit penalties, refs can go and get farked. We're actually looking pretty good tonight.
Yeh we're getting stitched up now. Another shit penalty followed by a try that never touched the line. Just take my left nut now. Cowboys haven't even made it into our 20 without the assistance of a penalty.
