great game to start off the new season (if you're a Doggies fan)

Watching snippets of last nights game while hard at work at the airport i found it hard to believe that the off season was already over .....

[Fishman Dan]

I found it a pretty dull game actually. St George had nothing in the first half. I can't see them doing much this year. And the Channel 9 pre-game hype was terrible.

Call of the year - prior to kick off. "This is likely to be the closest competition all year" - P. Sterling.

On a good note, O'Meley and S.B. Williams look sidelined for a few week.

funny you mention that .... just before he was injured, my mate at work was saying he thought SB wouldn't play the whole season because he'd probably get injured.

You just can't throw yourself around like that and not get smashed

I think Sterlo was aluding to the the fact that it will be close BETWEEN THE TOP SIDES ... something i doubt St.George will be :P

[Deano]

Is it just me.........

Why does that CH9 team refer to all players only by their
surname during the call(which is fine).......all except SONNY BOY

Maybe it's just catchier to say?

Last night wasn't as bad as a lot of Dogs games last year though.

. .so how are we feeling after the thumping from the Cowboys last night :P

Cowboys are looking a little more polished this year

Three cheers for the Warriors Loved Every minute of it, in fact I'll watch the replay on Channel Nine just to see it again.

[CobraSS]

I didn't think the Warriors ever won away from home Only when they play the Rocking Horses I guess

Anyway music to my ears

[Fishman Dan]

Warriors beating the Bronc's huh? These are the kinds of games where you are more than happy to miss out a point in any footy tipping comps.

I rate the Warriors possibly 2nd worst team in the comp....

stick with the GAYFL mate, you might hurt yourself in here

No thanks, i'm quite comfy in here... I can understand you're a little emotional right now mate, hasn't been a good weekend to be a QLD'er. Unless of course you are into Super 12's - which of course we know you're not.

Broncos lost. Bulls lost. Reds suck.
Doesn't look good for the Lions against the Saints this Thursday.

HEY ... they had red jerseys with QLD written on 'em ...... i'll take that

.. i think i just found my new signature :P

[Fishman Dan]

This game will continually fail - i know you blokes think it's a 'tough' game - but here are 2 things that sh!t me with this code;

The ref's are crap. One bloke's interpretations are different from the next, week in, week out.

The NRL sacked the country ref's (Mark Oaten particularly), because "They cost too much to move around the country. Didn't they just employ some dipstick from the UK SuperLeague?

The referee interchange rule. That's gay. Soooooooo gay. How come these blokes can't run 100 metres (in 4 metre bursts) and effectively officiate.

John Hopoate. [spray] This bloke needs de-registering from the game. The world took pity on him after the Ringdate affair because "how is he going to support his family?". Here's a tip - he's just had his 8th sprog - this guy needs neutering. The creator of the seed is a genetic throwback, and he's littering our world with other meataxe's using up our precious oxygen.[/spray]

Bit rich when there is 3 different interpretations running around in the same game at the one time


Come on Fishy how can you serve it up to the NRL Refs,when the blokes running around in the AFL are all but missing the big floppy shoes and the red noses.

Some of the descions they make leave me and I'm sure 1000's of other mistilfied on some of there rulings.

Why don't you try and fix your own backyard before you jump the fence to fix the NRL's

Following on... Sonny-Bill Williams.[spray] Oh my god. I know the kid is mature beyond his years and is a real talent, but for Pete's sake! Give it a rest. The commentary team can't shutup about how good they think he is, how he runs good lines, how he has a real nose for where the action is on the field, how he pulverises in tackles, how he does those 'little extras' off the ball, how he dominates the game in general. If I have to put up with another 24+ weeks of it, I'm gonna seek out Gus Gould and strangle him.[/spray]

On another note, it was interesting how none of the commentators rated the Cowboys a chance to win even when they were up by 12 (?) with 10 minutes to go. It should not come as a real surprise that they won after the form they showed at the end of last season. That said, I could still not bring myself the pick the bloody Cowboys... Carl Webb must play State of Origin this year if he plays half as good as he did on Friday night!

Speaking of which, I'm coming down for the first SOO this year. Got a seat on Jetstar for $29 each way. Might be able to catch up with some of you Bris-Vegans at the game (I'm sure Jarro will be there)...

One more thing before I run out of breath: Eags, you have got to be kidding me! How the hell did you pick 5 this weekend?!

Have you got a ticket to the game already mate

I didn't even know they were on sale yet

I agree with you about Carl Webb deserving a call-up to SOO this year .. the guys form in the opening rounds has been awesome

[Courty]

Had a call earlier tonight from a mate down there saying they are on sale as of tomorrow... I just hope he gets us decent seats

Don't know, but perhaps related to the fact that 2 weeks in a row now The Footy Show team has tried to release unconfirmed, unsourced rumours trying to derail the Cowboy's.

2 things the NRL (and Channel 9?) don't want - the Rabbitoh's and the Cowboy's register digits in the "W" column.

They'll be spewing this week then. Both teams registered good wins!

[Jarro]

GO YOU MIGHTY BRONCOS

[terryand]

GO YOU MIGHTY BRONCOS

Amen

At least the Broncos could beat the Cowboys HaHaHaHa Pete

How quick is "Lighting Bott" awesome to watch as they showed him the sideline and he took the invite and made them look down right silly

Great stuff

Terry.
