SKD was the Roosters best. Says plenty about the team. SKD had spent the previous 2 weeks in court having his love life openly aired for public appraisal while because his ex failed in her bid to extort money from him and his employer. If he packed up and walked away you couldn't blame him.
My main gripe this weekend is that the 'drinks break' ruling is left to the coaches. That is, both have to agree to have one due to the heat or it isn't taken at all. There is enough medical science in the game to confirm that playing at that level in those conditions is dangerous. To have a coach refuse to have the break because they feel it will adversely affect the opposition is dark ages rubbish.
Quite like the Bunker however.
I watch a lot of NSW Cup, Ron Massey Cup, and even the Tertiary League as one of the teams shares home ground with the club my little bloke plays for. That Dragons' second half was so bad they would have struggled in any of those competitions.
Early days yet but there already looks to be a half dozen teams who already can't wait for this season to be over.
First time since 1999 (Brisbane Broncos) that the team that won the minor premiership has lost their first three games the following season.

Strikes me as a bloke not enjoying the game. He's either playing busted or he has some other issues.
any thoughts on tonight's game?
I originally tipped the sharks just for the simple fact how bad Manly were last week and sharks had beaten the dragons (dragons made that formline stronger yesterday beating the rabbitohs!)
but looking into the history and the fact Manly are playing at home i'm almost leaning to manly I a 50/50 game... on form and formlines sharks just simply win but when you look at manly's record "The Sea Eagles have won nine of the last 10, including the past five clashes between the sides at the venue, with Cronulla's last win at Brookvale coming in Round 1, 2008." it's hard to tip against history......
the only thing i'd suggest is watching the market for any big late moves
one bet type I've had something on already is Manly with an 8.5 start and Cronulla with an 11.5 start (combined into 1 bet), so as long as it's a close game and Manly don't win by more than 11 or Cronulla don't win by more than 8 that bets a winner
Taupau is gone. Late. High. Swinging arm. Done
