Well the season just got really rotten for the fans of the Eels and Sharks didnt it??
The losses on the weekend whilst predicted by some were pretty ordinary and both coaches said as much in the post game press conference.
Ricky probably has half an excuse with so many of their side injured but they are not getting $400, 000 worth out of Tupou and getting donuts out of Matua. Barrett is doing his best but he cant do it all and they wil need Gallen back asap.
The Eels on the other hand didnt have a go..plain and simple and any of the players who deny are telling porkies.
The Dogs are not that good.
Parramatta's long running battles on and off the field are starting to have an effect and when Brett Finch left the ole in ship was like the hole in the Titanic. Daniel Anderson is a good coach but even good coaches cant coach bad cattle and some of the Eels are no having a go.
Inu, Mateo, Hayne, are all superstars of the game but they have to give the labels back until they can earn it again.
The Tigers were terrific last night against Melbourne and I reckon a few who took the odds about Melbourne being minor premiers and premiers would be starting to worry a bit.
Beaten by the Gold Coast and Tigers and just getting past Penrith doesn't look good.
The Broncos and Manly impressed me most.. I told you last week that Manly would give it to Souths and I still reckon they couldve put another 15-20 points on hem without too much trouble.. beware the Sea Eagles from here on in as I think its going to get really hard to beat them now they have a sniff....although losing Stewart today really really hurts them
The Broncos were awesome and they continue to thrive under coach Ivan Henjak.
We all know that try wasnt a try on friday but the Panthers still managed to make them look like superstars and helped them to a convincing win.. I still am tipping Brisbane to win the comp or make the grand final given they are under the spotlight every week with Friday night footy and big games..
This weeks game against Parra could yield 50....
Warriors got out of jail and the Roosters gave them the key which disappoints more than anything
The Cowboys did enough but only beat Cronulla, the Gold Coast were just and Newcastle were terrific in a very enjoyable game of footy.
I was surprised Brian Smith gave the hooker Isaac De Gois such a plug.. with Michael Ennis and Robbie Farah toted as the 2 NSW hookers I would've thought Brian would like his boy to himself during the tough Origin weeks..
Anyway another weekend goes by and it gets more interesting than ever..
