Looks like the referee crackdown has finished? We can now go back to Broncos and Storm pushing the limits again I guess.

Our form against the Warriors not looking that bad right now. Raiders are the only team that’s come close to beating them.

why on earth did Newcastle take 2 to make it an 11 point lead...

Should have kept field position and a chance to kill off the game to make it 13..

Broncos rated him enough for a $m contract. Looks like money well spent so far.

I know eh. He is solid at best, and now and than might have a great game....but to play Origin, and earn the money he does seems a little strange.

If all things equal, rumours are Bird is home sick for Sydney.

I remember when Barba was homesick for the Broncos, then a year later homesick for Sydney.

Very open comp this year. The teams expected to dominate have been really up and down. The comp won’t really take shape till beyond the half way mark this year.

If you haven’t already listen toNathan Browns press conference.

Says something along the lines of if When Bennett was at the knights he thought with his big head instead of his little head then Brown wouldn’t have to be doing a rebuild of the club.

What was he responding to? I watched the Broncos press conference and there was nothing in there. Was there some sort of pre-game comment from Bennett?

I watched the second half and while the Knights were solid Broncos were average. No surprises that another 'non-call' of a forward pass led to a Broncos try to give them a sniff. Happens every week. I can understand why they are playing so poorly - the poor bastards aren't playing every Friday night.
