Brett Stewart scores a treble in his first game after all the dramas….. Who predicted that little bit of magic to occur?
He may have been a crowd favourite to score a try given he’s scored 50 at Brookvale but 3??
And well done to the Manly fans who turned out in their numbers to support their under sieged team… I’m not saying condoning anything that’s gone on but the courts will decide about Brett Stewart and I like Craig Bellamy have no problem with him playing Origin for NSW..
Speaking of which here are my early bolters for the NSW side..
Michael Wayman.. whatever Wayne Bennett has done with the pie eater has worked , and now NSW could do with him.
Michael Jennings.. just find a spot for him somewhere
Michael Ennis..the best hooker we have got and he will bug the crap out of his former Broncos team-mates
Trent Waterhouse…. Wouldn’t have bought him with counterfeit money last year but gimme him now for certain
Terry Campese..has to be the 5/8th plain and simple. He makes average players look good at Canberra so imagine what he could do at Origin level.
Ok lets go to the rest of the weekend
Outstanding performance by the Dragons don’t you think.. I know the Eels couldn’t beat time with a stick right now but lets look at the facts. the Dragons have only let 53 points in after 5 games and if they average that for the rest of the year..they will win the comp!! I don’t know if they can but how impressive is Wayne Bennett.. we all knew he was a great coach but now he has taken the so called “soft” Dragons and turned them into the best defence in the league.
In fact after Friday night they had less points scored against them than any other team and they had played an extra game!!! Wayne Bennett is a genius and already the Dragons fans are daring themselves to dream about what might happen towards the latter part of the season..and so they should.
Meanwhile the Broncos coach may well have been unhappy with the 4 point win over the Roosters but I can assure you he is very happy about the way things are going.
They played about as bad as they could the Broncos and still won..they never looked like losing really. Sure the Roosters scored a couple late and got within 4 but did the Broncos take the foot off the gas?? You bet they did.. Ivan Henjak wasn’t happy about the And nor should he be but at the end of the day they still won pretty easily and other teams should be very worried when they met them in the next few weeks.
Poor old Ricky has got some problems and whiles the Sharks can play on heart..it wont win them too many games and next week the play the Cowboys who are just as desperate after another loss at home.
The Cows were beaten fair and square by the Titans whop continue to be over the odds and perform every week.. this year the Gold Coast are not going to fade away and I suggest you punters stick solid..
The Panthers were a bit stiff weren’t they..the final pass from Lewis to the winger was as flat as my wife’s sponge cake and deserved to be let go but the records will show, another honourable loss..
They are getting the sharp end of the stick this year no doubt about that.
