    Pity Manu isn't talking Union. He is one guy I'd love to see give it a go.

    Blake Ayshford said that he was told earlier in the year that Joey Manu wants to come home. Either to the Warriors or the Chiefs.

    There was that rumour about Manu to the Chiefs earlier in the year. He's from the Pacific Island of Tokoroa so a homie.

    @bovidae Yeah, I posted about it earlier in the year.

    He'd look handy at the end of the Chiefs backline.

    Considering all the players that were missing, I'm happy with the win. I don't think anyone expected the Warriors to win.

    The quality of the match wasn't high, but when you're on a 7 game losing streak and missing most of your best players, you take these ones any day.

    Aitken looked good in the 2nd row. He made 163m and 43 tackles.

    The Warriors wish they could play the Tigers every week.

    Everyone does. I wish they'd rename the club Wests Magpies.

    Storm vs Panthers coming up soon.

    Sadly, it might not be much of a contest with the Panthers missing Cleary, Yeo, Fisher-Harris, Koroisau and To'o.

    With Harry Grant back, the Storm are pretty much at full strength now.

    I've pulled sticks on the season. Basically feel that way about all sports except MMA.

    The Storm are making it look easy. The Panthers' defense is looking quite fragile.

    Storm win quite comfortably, 37 - 10.

    Storm vs Sea Eagles should be a much better match-up next week.

    Panthers vs Roosters should be good too. Panthers will likely get a few their stars back for that one.

    the comp is so uneven it's not even funny.

    Tommy Turbo gave the Sharks a hiding last night. The Sharks are in the 8 (but that's nothing really to celebrate this year) but they were thumped. Again.

    Melbourne and Penrith sit way out in front with 15 wins and a points differential of +1,000 (actually that's not even close, the Storm are 120 points in front there as well)
    The bunnies and the Eels are only 1 and 2 wins back. But that's a false gap, in actual fact they are light years behind.
    The Roosters are somehow still 5th despite missing half a roster. Will be cannon fodder for the top 2
    Manly are 6th, and are the only smokey outside of the top 3 for a GF berth based purely on their fullback.

    Everyone below this mark are dogshit. The Dragons in 7th are 8-9, Sharks are 7-10. These teams will play finals FFS. 10 of 18 teams have a losing record.

    An old school Top 5 finals series would be a far better spectacle than what week 1 of the finals will serve up.

    @mariner4life Turbo is in unreal form.

    His stats last night:

    227m
    3 tries
    3 try assists
    3 linebreaks
    4 linebreak assists
    4 offloads
    15 tackle busts
    4/4 on defense

    And he didn't even play the whole game. Got subbed off around the 65th minute mark.

    And by all accounts right at that point Manly returned to being the Manly from the start of the season. Never has so much rested on the the hamstrings of so few.

    Tommy T v the Storm next week should be fun

    Melbourne 30 - Tommy T 8

    @bayimports Got him in my team 🙂

    I feel bad for people who want him now, because he's so expensive. He was quite cheap early in the season.

    I did the same, but I put Haas as captain instead.
