What's this Donkeys on a Saturday night rubbish ?

There needs to be an investigation.

Only because it's Titans. No way they play a Sydney team on a Saturday.

[gerg]

What's the bet Bulldogs scrape home for a win then Broncos spoil the celebrations by beating the Titans?

Hate to admit but Souths attack looks extremely slick right now

[Canberra Milk]

It's great to win and play defensive etc etc but I love watching great attack, it's what I love about the game

[zim]

This is great for us if rabbits lose this. Pretty interesting game.

[BJ]

Cracker of a game.

[zim]

Can't believe benji kicking on the 2nd after 6 again! Dying by the sword till the end.

[Northern Raider]

Souths had it shot to bits then fell in a hole. Tigers finishing all over them but late game brain farts cost them big time.

[Northern Raider]

Dogs up early over Manly. Live ladder looking good.

[gerg]

Dogs are just next level awful. At one stage there they had three consecutive 6agains in the attacking zone and they basically did about 10 settlers, then ran 1 set play. It didn't work so they put up a bomb.

Good luck Mr Cotric.

Dogs are rubbish

[Begbie]

So obviously a try - why watch 23 replays?

[Begbie]

Okunbur was the one we needed. Strong, tall, fast, powerful.

[Canberra Milk]

Penrith attack so good. They poke and prod all over the defence, punch up the middle and use numbers outwide. Parra done very well to hang on though

[Canberra Milk]

Never challenge a strip and certainly not this early... even if they get it right it's a poor call. Not only do you have to know it was a strip / not a strip (which you can't), you have to be able to prove it

If it was us camped in Eels half for 20 min without a try everybody would be blowing up about our inept attack. Rarely do we credit the opposition defense.

[Canberra Milk]

I hope you're not trying to say we've been equivalent to the Panthers, and it's only the defenses that have made the difference...

[Northern Raider]

No. Didn't say that. I'm saying we never credit the opposition defense when we can't score.

[Canberra Milk]

They've had about 4 no tries or almost tries, which is one of the indicators to look for, among many

[Canberra Milk]

Yes well agree although I think most fans over emphasise their own team, to be fair

[Canberra Milk]

Parra this game remind me a bit of us... really turning up especially in defence, but do they have enough in attack to win without Mahoney, Brown, Sivo a bit of a form plateau etc

[Northern Raider]

Panthers slaughtering a few opportunities

[Canberra Milk]

Maybe just never listen to forwards challenging too... what a bonehead challenge

[Northern Raider]

Moses always struggles against good defenses.

[Canberra Milk]

True he does

Fergie Ferg deserves some credit for holding that right edge. He's a wise head in d these days

[gerg]

I think that's a strip. Just because the tackler isn't directly looking at the ball doesn't mean he doesn't know where it is. It looked like his hand was fishing for the ball, in a scooping/stripping motion.

How the hell does a team with 12 errors and 64% completion end up with 65% possession?

It's called "six again".

[Canberra Milk]

Just can't see where Parra's points are going to come from. But then again it was the same situation last time they played and they scored three in quick succession out of nowhere

[Northern Raider]

Incredible defensive effort by Eels

[Canberra Milk]

Great effort and also shown why they can't win comp

Yeah, it only takes you so far. Zero attacking threat.

[Canberra Milk]

What a team the Panthers are, been a joy to watch. Disrupt the Roosters/Storm duopoly hopefully
