Dolphins were lucky against Souths. Souths missed 5 goal attempts plus their Star players.

I think Souths were lucky not to lose by more. A few bombed tries by the Phins and a dubious penalty try to Souths. They are playing an exciting style of football. Souths definitely missed Latrell. 

[Rebel]

Dolphins played really well. Bennet had them wound up.

That was the difference in the end.

That's cruel of you, Kelvin.

I guess we know where we are with a teenage roster. It must be worse having a decent roster and still not be able to make the 8...

[Rebel]

The Tigers will be back. We need the old teams to fire again. Like the Tigers, Souths, Bulldogs & Parramatta.

Only stirring ….. . Yep, some promising young players there, just have to try to keep them. 
Oh and I think you meant ‘currently aren’t in the top 8’ ….

[ellicat]

Yeah, I know.

I'm on the Broncos today, so fingers crossed.

I got nervous about the size of the Dragon's backs and cashed out before kick-off.

Forgot to change my tip, though...

[Old Scaley]

Broncos beaten by the whistle blower and the bunker in the first half. Well played by the Dragons.

I didn’t watch it (haven’t got Kayo). Annoying (and probably costly) loss .

[Rebel]

Goodbye Broncos. Hello Titans.

And maybe Dolphins and perhaps Cowboys. Are you sensing a theme here?

[Rebel]

Dolphins are playing really well. Cowboys are hot & cold. Storm & Penrith Grand Final, maybe. Unless some magic happens with another team.

Storm & Penrith Grand Final

I reckon the Roosters are a chance as well.

[Rebel]

It was NSW's night last night. Great hard game. Congrat's to NSW

[ellicat]

Sure was. A great game. That first half was as tough going as I've seen for many moons.

Congratulations to NSW. They got the job done in the end.

The NRLW has come a long way in quality over the last 5 years.

I like the less structured way they play, compared to the men's teams.

[Rebel]

Knights V Roosters. 12 / 10. Top hard game. Knights played well.

[Rebel]

Watched the NRLW  Eels V Broncos match. Top game. There was a good biff up. Two players sin binned. Great to watch. Reminded me of the old days of Rugby League. Eels won 22 to 10.

[Rebel]

Bulldogs V Broncos 41 / 16.  Better than State of Orgin. Broncos Belted.

[Rebel]

Tigers V Cowboys. 48 / 30. This was a great game till the Referee sent a Tigers player off. The Referee destroyed the game. They had to use security to get the Referee out of the park. The fans were going to lynch him.  Bad luck Tigers.

[ellicat]

Yeah. "Strong contact to the head" was the call. He didn't even get hurt. I could have lived with 10 in the bin, but to be sent off was ludicrous.

Tigers defense was pretty soft for four of the Cowboys tries, though. Under 10's soft.

[Rebel]

Easts V Dolphins. Easts got out of jail. The Dolphins played well.

[Rebel]

Justin Olam. The Tiger who got sent off in the Tigers V Cowboys match is looking at 3 weeks suspension. It wasn't the Referee who sent him off it was the bunker. This bunker has to go it is useless.

[ellicat]

I hope they fight it. Grading is completely wrong. We've got nothing to lose.

Yes, the Bunker has had worse than a shocker all season. It continued in the Broncos/Titans today with an unwarranted sin binning in the first half. Ridiculous and frustrating.

I'm a long term loyal follower that watches 8 games a week, but I'm starting to switch channels lately. The standard has become so low.

[Rebel]

@ellicat  The ladies NRLW is so much better. Great games.

[Gad]
