Game over Dragons 24 defeat Roosters 8
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Jingoism aside, I've always thought God Defend New Zealand is a better piece of music than Advance Australia Fair

Frank just left a present for me that needed immediate attention as it was an offence to the nostrils. Thankfully didn't miss kick off

It's a beautiful ceremony down there. I'd like to see this night game shared around, however. The Warriors should feature, but against other clubs outside Sydney.

What an amazing try to start the game! Great vision! Was that a set play?

You sing Twinkle, twinkle to it next time... it's exact!

I also like the imagination of the New Zealanders. The only word they could find to rhyme with New Zealand... is "land"!

Not much way to defend that. Warriors didn’t do much wrong.

Storm 10 - 0. Warriors seem a bit staggered in their defensive line speed. At least they don't go backwards

To have a coach that can get a team up every week and be as professional like Melbourne are. Just clinical. They get better every game.

They change players and recruit guys that fill holes. They all put in, they have a winning culture and play as a team. It's amazing. Every year.

Ahh.. I had a dream..

Surely we could raise enough cash to pay Bellamy to allow Johnny Mac to change his nappy?
