Cowboys have truly terrible wingers.

Bani really should have scored early in the half.

 

[Yoboman]

Game looked really sloppy early on, but man Uate is a beast

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Goddamn Cowboys, they had some promise last week.

 

[Blackface]

So I have a question. What is considered the "NFL or "NBA" or rugby leagues?

 

[user_nat]

The NRL.

You mean the top competition? NRL easily

Goddamn Cowboys, they had some promise last week.

Isn't that the case at the start of every year with the Cowboys?

 

[pieatorium]

cowboys let in 2 tries in the first 10 minutes of secind half, sigh

Hopefully they keep it up. They're not making my tips any worse than they already are this week.

 

[Yoboman]

SHIT I accidentally clicked Cowboys in my tips, why did I do that?

you got your wish lol. Time to bail 26 down with less than 20 to go.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

NRL National Rugby League.

 

[Yoboman]

Rabbits, Roosters, Dragqueens!! You can make my tips better this week

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

SHIT I accidentally clicked Cowboys in my tips, why did I do that?

Same. So hard to tip.

 

[Yoboman]

Newcastle fell asleep didn't they

 

[user_nat]

Dreadful round so far. Only the Melbourne game was overly good.

Spoiler

And the Brisbane one of course..

Yeah a lot of the teams who looked sharp last week dropped off completely

And I found it amazing how Canberra looked worse with Orford playing.... They should improve when Dugan/Tongue/Campese are back though

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Still got the W. Give it 3 or 4 more weeks and i think we'll have a better idea of whats going on.

 

[AdventureRacing]

The cowboys were dreadful. Their defense is yet again shit, i feel sorry for their fans.

Well Im sure it will be a rise up the ladder funded by the part owners of the NRL and Storm itself.

 

[Yoboman]

Besides the Dragons, the only team I'm confident about being a top 8 team is Melbourne. They are obvious threats, I should've put some money on them while they were out to $28 or whatever it was.

 

[Soule]

Ughhh Cowboys where is the form from several years ago? I was looking over the team before the season started and it didn't look particularly exciting, was hoping the new 5/8 would go good but he hasn't left his mark yet.

Oh well at least the Broncs won (even though Im not particularly confident in them just yet with their young troops, such a messy game) and I'm 99% sure Dragons will win so hopefully will finish the weekend of footy on a good note.

 

[caromelo]

Oh crap, I was out this Friday and forgot to do my tips! No big deal, hopefully the Eagles win this arvo.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

I got the pups, chooks and lizards for my next 3.

 

[caromelo]

FORAN!

 

[AdventureRacing]

Pretty much every team besides the storm (and maybe the knights) this weekend has played like utter garbage. Hopefully next weeks games are a little higher quality.

 

[Yoboman]

BLAH all my tips were off

 

[Yoboman]

And now the Sharks beat the Dragons???? 2/8 what a horrible round of tipping

 

[user_nat]

Tipping nightmare

Can't believe sharks won.

 

[Yoboman]

Tipping nightmare

Can't believe sharks won.

I'd love to see Sharks go well for once

 

[Soule]

and I'm 99% sure Dragons will win so hopefully will finish the weekend of footy on a good note.

Fucking jinxed it

 

[Danoss]

Fucking jinxed it

Well, technically they did. They lost, this is good.

 

[HolyCheck]

Cleaning my room I just found my Adelaide Rams membership card.

oh yeah.

 

[Yoboman]

Don't forget yo tips, bros

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Oh shi

 

[user_nat]

Hopefully I can improve on 4/8 this week.

I think I will.

 

[caromelo]

I didn't put any tips in last week and I managed to get 5 points. Guess they automatically award points for away wins if you fail to tip.

 

[user_nat]

Refs looking for a Souths win?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Woot go the Bunnies, should have put $50 on them.

 

[Yoboman]

Yay finally we got on the board, that's a relief.

Thought our first 20 was sloppy but we were solid to good for the remaining 60

 

[Yoboman]

I hate the 930 game on Channel 9. It's 90 minutes of football and 90 minutes of ads

 

[user_nat]

Really happy with Brisbanes defense tonight, but far out our attack is driving me crazy.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

2/2 yay. Yeah the attack was a bit weak but should improve a fair bit throughout the season, everyone is to buff but they will probably lean down a bit.

 

[Yoboman]

Good defence beats good attack

2/2 as well, good start!

 

[user_nat]

Can't remember if I tipped Souths or Parra..

I have a feeling it might be Parra though

 

[Yoboman]

Btw do you guys in Queensland get Sydney games on delay?

I think we should start using spoiler tags seeing as our games are on opposite times

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Yeah you get NSW games first then QLD ones, we get QLD then NSW.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Another 2 shit house games. At least the broncos showed some promise. Souths defense is pathetic, titans attack is pathetic and parras everything is downright embarrasing.

I'm hoping the standard of footy picks up pretty soon because this is as bad as i can remember.

Don't get me wrong im still enjoying it but most teams seem to be coming out of the blocks slow.

 

[bbyybb]

Well that is a better start for my tips this week, 2/2.

Great to see the bunnies win a game, even if our defence was pretty suspect.

 

[Yoboman]

That first forty minutes was unbearable Broncs vs. Titties. So much dropped ball and nothing happening

 

[Danoss]

Refs looking for a Souths win?

He certainly seemed to be giving them a helping hand. Two disallowed tries? Really? Absolutely pathetic.

I was concerned about the Inglis vs Morgan matchup because Morgan's defense is truly horrible. I'm surprised Souths didn't push down his side more often, it was obviously weak down that side. Did they even watch any of the Eels game videos? Morgan bounces off attackers like a beach ball.

Even if the Eels were awarded those 2/3 disallowed tries, Souths could've worked that side and won.On top of that, Ben Smith was horrible, he put us on the back foot so many times and is lucky he didn't get penalised more often than he did.

I am happy that the Eels do seem to be progressing as a team. They just need to get Morgan to work on his tackling, I think he's a promising young player.

Edit: Oh and I feel sorry for Isaac Luke, no one deserves that to happen to them. He did put himself in that position though, he's lucky he's not in a wheelchair, or dead.

I thought they were tough but borderline calls

Luke is a tough little guy

BTW did anyone notice Peter Sterling's comments when they went to an ad break? Phil Gould said "that's terrible" about Luke's injury and then Sterlo says (in the background) "yeah terrible, he's in my dream team."
