This is a shit game. The Dragons are awful and the Sharks don't have to be much better to be dominating them

<p>this game and the Storm are the last 2 legs of my low paying multi....</p>

<p>Billy Slater looks goooonnnneee for the season with shoulder injury.</p>

[mariner4life]

<p>2nd year in a row, that might be it?</p>

[antipodean]

<p>Tigers have started well. I'm getting my hopes way up for this season. Way up.</p>

<p>Yeah looked pretty impressive last night. Couldnt understand why they weren't favourites at the TAB paying $2.40 for the win mid day yesterday.</p>

<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">First home game of the season and it is against the number one rival, Melbourne Storm. Matulino is going to challenge a shoulder charge ruling (wins he gets to play, lose he gets four weeks, do nothing he gets three weeks) and while Vatuvei and Ayshford are named to start, it appears that Konrad and Jonathan Wright will be playing on Sunday afternoon.</p>

<p>Todd Greenberg is the new NRL CEO. A safe pair of hands (was the Bulldogs CEO before Raelene Castle) although the NRL really wanted Jim Doyle.</p>

Semi Radradra carves up the dogs while his team mates swarm on defense and the Eels continue to gain respectability.<br><br>
Foran played okay but not at 100%.

<p>Have the Eels been stripped of points yet for their salary cap fiasco? The more they win the less the NSW cartel will want to take those points (some are saying it will be 10 points) away. </p>
