Rugby Leeeeeg 2011

[sounds of wheels falling off]

I can probably put Hass' mind at ease about the rest of the round if he tells me who he tipped.

Storm snot the sh!thouse Slimeys 38-0 and the Mighty Drags easily account for the Dogs 25-6.

Carn the Knights tomorrow night, which would leave the Storm and Drags on top.

Five from seven so far this round. I must have accidentally ticked the right boxes.

That Darius Boyd try was kinda funny - unless you are a Bulldogs supporter!

Just watched the replay of the Drags v Dogs game on Nein. Massive play by Darius Boyd with the score at 15-6 to the Drags at the 60 minute mark. Dog Keating has made a bust near half way and motored up to the Drags quarter with 2 on his outside and 3 on the inside. Boyd has anticipated the inside ball, intercepted and run 85 m to score under the posts. What should have been 15-12 became 21-6.

I would still have a perfect tipping round were I not an Eels supporter.

I used to tip the Eels back in the days of Stu Galbraith and Tulsen Tollett, so I'm not going to start tipping against them now. It's often a significant handicap on my tipping season.

JGK. I've tipped the Broncos in Monday's match.

Re Broncos, you might be in trouble.

Re your tipping Parra - I am the other way around. I pretty much lost our comp last year because I refused to tip the Dragons.

Boyd may well be the smartest player in the comp. I certainly think he is the most underrated.

He got MoM in last season's GF when I thought Jason Nightingale was far and away the most influential player on the ground. Today I thought Boyd was easily MoM (scoring one, the turning point, and setting up 2) but Nein gave it to Beau Scott. Matt Cooper and Jamie Soward did more than Scott. I think fat Gus throws a dart at the team sheet of the winning side to make the MoM decision.

watched the replay ... a sensational matchsaving intercept and then matchwinning try...


really good to see the bullies go down

bloody Raiders cost me a HJ Whopper

Bennett to the Knights. Sucked in, Souths!

.......... and Idris to the Gold Coast.

Good luck to Benny. The man is a god as far as I'm concerned. To get the perennial end-of-season chokers, the Drags, over the line says it all, really. Do I dare hope that he can give us a farewell gift with back-to-back Premierships? He was the last coach to achieve back-to-back, so hopefully he can do it again.

Slimeys v Doggies Derby tonight. Ponts will be nervous as a kitten.

Matt Utai has just performed the Falcon of the Century for the Tigers.

An absolute classic!


Somewhere around the 43rd minute for anyone watching a replay.

dammit Wests!

Dogs v Eels was good fun.

And go Titans. I tipped the Tigers out of spite for the guy organising my tipping comp who has been rubbing in the fact that I am 3 points last after 4 weeks. I told him that for my revenge I will tip the Tigers for the rest of the year.

Bingo.

Is there a Bradman award in your comp?

No, there's a Sobers/Lara/SRT/Hobbs award for second last because people kept on running dead last year when they knew they couldn't win it.

Ah, some strategy to be applied then.

Hopefully the Drags can join the Storm and Broncs on 10 points tomorrow night v Bunnies. Carn Nath, get that anti-Rabbits hex going.

I tipped your mob, skully. how's that?

A good sign, hopefully Nath. You're no JGK.
