I don't think I have ever seen a manly side this bad. It's beautiful.

<p>Safe to say their championship window is now closed and locked. Cue the rebuild.</p> -

<p>Absolutely. Manly is the team I've always hated. I wonder what Toovey thinks of the implosion?</p> -
<p>Watching the Titans on Monday night carve Manly up ( a couple of ropey passes from an absolute towelling) i wonder what DCE thought of it? The Titans dodged a bullet there i think, their young halves are great, DCE is wildly overrated, and they saved a heap of cash. </p>

<p>tonight is night 2 of "the best reason ever for mid-week beers" aka Origin. Up in Queensland, so Caxton St is probably already full of half pissed ferals chopping tins of Gold and black rats. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As usual, Qld will be strong favourites to win their 400th series in a row, or whatever it is now. It's at Suncorp, their team is still full of fucking awesome, and the NSW one just isn't. The Blues will be hoping for a game where no one scores more than about 16, because i reckon only one of the teams on display can score more than that. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cheered on by the heaving masses of drunk ferals, they'll get the rub of the green with the refs, and that will be all she wrote. Oh, and now that Bennett has forced Cory Parker out, it's his last Origin series, so the boys will be well up to send the only professional footballer greyer than me out a winner. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Afterwards expect every NSW supporter to blame the refs, the NRL, and Mitchell Pearce, in that order. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Expect a stink, but now everyone who throws one gets binned, it'll be an AFL-style push session. booooo! Bring back the biff!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A small part of me feels sorry for Paul Gallen, playing his last Origin series. He's been a fucking warrior for the Blues, and has been on the end of more hidings than a ginger step kid. Probably deserves more.</p>

<p>nah, fuck that grub. QUEENSLANDER!</p> -

<p>I see Kevin Locke has signed to play for the Greater Sydney Rams in the Aussie NRC, with the hope of making the Waratahs it seems.</p>
<p>If he makes the grade, the Tahds will have their hands full with both him and Guilford both on their books...Maybe they should sign Konrad Hurrell to play alongside them as well?</p> -

<p>I will fly to Sydney just to witness those three on a night out.</p> -

<p>And because the Tits were the only club that wasn't at cap limit, they have been able to grab Chris McQueen, Nathan Peats and even fatty Hurrell. Losing Aidan Sezer during the DCE saga is still a major loss though.</p> -

<p>It's a shame Pita Wilson is "unavailable" or the Waratahs could have recruited him as a minder for that trio . . . </p> -
That was an ugly tackle by Thaiday. What does it take to get sent off in league?

Landed on the top of his head. <br><br>
Geez a couple of those penalties against the Blues for the Maroons losing the ball were a bit rough I reckon. <br><br>
Poor play by Jennings. Just take the tackle, but forces a terrible pass and try time QLD -
Tough first half. NSW probably the better side but still behind. Refs allowing very slow play the balls

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRJN SPEAR TACKLE!!!!<br><br>
As to what it takes to get sent off: refusing to piss in your own mouth? -
Gagai again, who looks stoked to not be playing for the Knights. <br><br>
Thurston is tough as fuck. -
Should have taken the points before. Could prove fatal.

Game back on, NSW score off a great offload
