Aye Skully, just getting the rusty fork to gouge my eyes out for 80minutes.

Given the ethnicity of the Dogs supporters there is a reasonable chance of that happening.

Shame there won't be any Eagles supporters there to suffer alongside them.

That very much crossed my mind, but thought saying it might be a bit much given the latest events in the Iraqi desert.

On the upside, at least one of my most despised sides will be out next week. 3rd on the list, the Broncs, went out last night.

Souths v Nth Q. I'm torn.

Carn the Bunnies!!!!!!

Watmough gets a week.

Sims 5 weeks.

Could very well be the last we see of Choc in a Filth jersey, and defo the last we've seen of Sims in Cows gear.

Cows must be on the Stilnox and Coke. Absolutely peerless last week, a bunch of busted arses this week. R00ters up 30-12 at HT.

game over

Roosters scrape through 31-30

"brave" call on the knock on ....

Cows a smidge stiff. Looked a try to Thurston at the end, but a miniscule knock-on by Lui before Thurston got it nullified the score. Shame - it was a grouse comeback by the Cows.

Absolute bullshit.

home town decision

It hit Lui's arm and just went forward. Touchy called it live, and the video confirmed a slight knock-on. If it had've been let go Easts would have blown up just as much. Unfortunate, but the correct call. Lui should've kept his arm away from it as Thurston was calling for it behind him.

But won't stop the Chippies claiming another robbing.

You're blind. It didn't go forward.

Even Gus said that has never been a knock on.
..... and he coached the Roosters for many seasons.

No, Gus said "in the old days that wouldn't have been classed a knock on". In these days of video intervention, it was a knock-on.

Sets up a titanic class between the Bunnies and the R00ters next week.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but carn Doggies tonight.

As a bat. Nice of Gus to depart temporarily from the party line. I wasn't so much upset at the umpiring as the commentary. Was at a party in Cairns last night watching it with a lot of hard core locals. The TV didn't survive the night.

Any impartial views on the pass leading up to the cowboys second try?

Why? It's Manly. You'd take the local Al Quaid team over them.

Indeed, q.

But I despise the Dogs 999 times out of 1000. Normally I wouldn't bother watching if this was a round game.




















































And [snigger] @ whining Banjos. HALATSB.

Looks like the Filth couldn't be bothered. PMSL. Within a bee's dick of the Minor Premiership but flogged by Cows in the final H&A round, and looking like going out backwards with 2 floggings in the Finals.

Filth have hung on by the skin of their teeth after the fast start by the Dogs, and have burgled a dummy half try on HT. 16-6 at Oranges.

Dogs imploding. Gotta say it hugely amusing to see Michael "the grub" Ennis fark up and allow the try the put the Filth back on even terms.

Dogs get lucky and get a restart after a 5th tackle kick hits the ref. They score a field goal in the set to take the lead.

golden point extra time, eh?
