the most criminal act in that pic is a fucking red cruiser

More gossip
Some more tidbits to talk about:Roosters apparently shopping Dom Young.
Sexton linked to Broncos.
Knight linked back to Bunnies.
Brodie Croft linked to Tigers.
RCG may end up at the Cowboys before his England stint.And the most pressing issue, should you be allowed to bite someone who is trying to nosefk your mouth.. love to know how the judiciary sees this.
-
Young being shopped is no surprise, he's done nothing this year
Sexton to the Broncos is interesting. Kev clearly doesn't rate the halves they have in Q-Cup
Croft? oh Tigers, why do you constantly do dumb shit?
RCG to the cowboys makes sense if he is on low money, otherwise that's a terrible pick up.I know it's not the 90s any more, but there is so much that goes on in a game of league that would instantly go away if they allowed a few punches. Some bloke is rubbing his head in to your face? Stand up and belt him (not that i would fight critta he's fucking huge)
-
@mariner4life Tigers seemingly play for any half on the market regardless of quality. Rumor is that Sezer might be off back to England
I thought the Dom Young one was still a surprise, but for that money you do expect more.
RCG would be a good middle at the Cowboys with the injuries you guys have had, just would also need to know for how much, certainly not current salary
I don't condone biting, however that Critta got what he deserved.. an NHL style fight probably would let the heat out, but like you say, who the hell would take him on.

In the vain hope it might be an improvement.
-
Skelton to Tigers and Holmes to Dargons, pretty good pick up for both clubs
-
fuck you Todd Payton. The Cowboys aren't wining shit this year, just let Clifford play out the season for the Pride.

Really good game last night between the pending grand finalists. Melbourne just tipping over Penrith in Penrith. Good night for the Storm, they won, probably locked up the minor premiership, and Cam Munster looked to be playing his way to a bit of form. Harry Grant probably had his best game in a long time as well.
Not so good for Penrith, they lost, and Nathan Cleary came off with a very sore looking shoulder injury (thanks for the detailed updates Jake Duke you fucking idiot).
-
News: Val Holmes to the Dragons now a done deal.
Biggest Story. Les Boyd inducted to the NRL Hall of Fame. Who you ask? 80s thug who got rubbed out for like 27 weeks for firstly a filthy elbow that broke Daryl Browman's jaw, and then an eye gouge. It's a weird selection all round, his career in Aus wasn't exactly amazing, and those two acts alone should be enough to keep him out.
Browman called it out too, and good on him. An astoundingly bad call by who ever voted Boyd in. -

great game, not so sure I agreed with the ref on a few calls, but intense all the same.
Yeo hitting his straps
Wishy arguably better than Munster right now
Even without Cleary I suspect these two teams duke it out later, both just seem to handle a different level well.
Also league intelligence (if there is such a thing), both these sides know how to use their challenge incredibly well -

do the Daly Ms have a breakout player of the year?
And yes the challenges last night were elite. No 50/50 stripping penalties 13 minutes in to the contest like certain stupid teams
-

I dont know, but Wishart has gone from an average fill in that only the Storm could get value from to an elite running half/hooker which any team would kill for, perfect foil for the rest of that spine

and he is the clone of his dad!! i want him to kick goals to see if the stutter step is there

Now obviously there is a longer list of those not included, but when you look at what Les Boyd has done in comparison I think it raises some interesting questions of the panel (or a list brought before said panel)
-
It's a joke and every other player who gets to say they're an inductee gets to have Les' inclusion thrown in their face.

@bayimports not that I’m a Penrith sympathiser by any stretch, I certainly respect what they have done as a club, but I thought they got the Warriors treatment last night. Even away from AAMi Park, the Storm get the rub of the green….
Also, I thought there was a little something extra by Josh King on Cleary once they went to ground. It was weird how King wrapped his arms like that and then squeezed in. Just didn’t look right. But can see why the shoulder went as a result of it.

I agree in general, the first try should not have stood, the late penalty for JFH was borderline to say the least.
In saying that I don't believe Nelson should have been binned. He is guilty of many things, but that incident looked completely accidental lol
As for the incident, it did look weird, a bit like a bear hug, but I don't think anything looked dirty
supposedly will be back for finals though
-
Penrith were gifted 2 points for a guy in front of the 20m restart when every other time that gets called back to re-take.
Penrith knocked out the Melbourne winger for no sanction. I am not sure Penrith can feel too hard done by.
The two most kissed on the dick by the whistle teams sort.of cancelled each other out -
Coming to park near you

Not one mention of the Warriors' season coup de grace? 24-10 to Manly BTW.
