I think I am in for a stressful September.
In a bunch of very inconsistent teams this year, we have managed to keep winning and we've had some cracking victories to savour.
There's been some "luck", which I'd like to put down to the Wayne Bennett extra 5%.
Storm, Penrith or Roosters games...
PS - the NRL doing nothing but lip service to erradicate lifting tackles - now there's a fucking story.
But hey, at least no one is punching one another.
Misguided emotion from Alex (which is understandble, when he's talking about the moment that ruined his life).
Had Smith known the extent of the injury (unprecedented before that tackle), I am sure he would have chosen to hold his tongue. He might also have been under high emotion or stress...
6. Milford
7. Hunt
Rinse, repeat for the next 5-8 years. It's not like he's Hunt in 2009 with caretaker halves like Wallace or Scott Prince or the "touched one" (Norman) in front of him. And there's better, more robust, utility hooker/bench hookers available - Parcell, Kodi, Jayden Nikorima...
Living on the South East side of Brisbane now, yes it would be nice to just drive up Creek Road and not have to get back through the city to go to game. Just measured it. I'm 11kms from Suncorp and 16kms from QEII. Sunnybank feels closer than Milton.
My memories of Broncos games there are...
Morgan>DCE. Really...? If Inglis goes down at 1, are we gonna put Morgan back there? No.
If Thurston or Cronk goes down, is Morgan the man? **** no. He barely knows how to play half back for the Cowboys.
Then again, Cronk is back, playing that instinctive role off the back of Cam Smith...
This is slated for Graham's return.
I would not want to be in the opposition forward pack when this happens.
He was so fired up and ripe to tear the Dragons pack a new a-hole before he got injured 20 minutes in.
If he does return happens, without McGuire and if Parker is rested, Klemmer...
Not trying to be a prick but...
I just borrowed $400,000 from your mortgage overdraft to do something I don't want to tell you about, but I put it right back so it's ok.
Nothing to see here.
Wait, what?
You don't have jurisdiction over me so I don't have to answer any more questions.
