I hate Chelsea but that was the worst performance by a referree I have ever watched. Fat lamps classy. Drogba...

So I suppose Manchester will go into the final as favourites?

Australia vs Kiwiland and City vs. Country on this Friday night, and Channel 9's policy of two games on Friday backfires, as I think more there is more NSW interest in the City vs. Country game (possibly a first), yet it wont air till 9.30.

And at least the Sharks (could be the Central Coast Bears soon..) will get two points this week...

Can't be a worse kicker than Gidley, and he is only a backup for when Gidley is captaining NSW, or for our forever injured ex-Dragons centres/wingers.

Not so much fun when the shoe is on the other foot is it? I cannot believe how badly the Tigers faded, they have been playing a good 80 minutes every week.

Cowboys have arrived, Titans have reached round 10, and are starting to fade again.
Karma has come back to bite the Doggies, they should have won the game against the Dragons, but it ends up being retribution for their unintentional cheating win against the Panthers earlier in the season.

Guess I asked for that I think losing by a total of 3 points in the past 2 outings is going to come back and bite us on the arse come end of season. I had a gut feeling they were going to fade once Farah got laid out.

Yep once again the Titans have called it quits on another NRL season. Cowboys have found some form. Although the Sharks lost I think Penrith learnt that a game of league is 80 minutes and the Knights are equal 1st (What sort of black magic caused this?!?!?)

Overall a great round of Rugby League to try and bury the nasties the past week has brought up.

And last years wooden spooners are #1 on for and against. Not to mention the Panthers and Bunnies equal second..

And instead stupid ref blunders dropping the game even further, the bulldogs decision, then all the sin-bins for a couple of holding downs that last week did not even earn a penalty...

Well yeah if the refs did their jobs properly it would of gone from a great weekend of league to a fantastic week of league. All things considered (the refs mainly) it was an exciting week. Just a shame that they top it off with a boring match up.

Never count out the raiders, especially this time of the year. Late May Early June= fast fading Titans, fading Broncos and wilting Cowboys, rising Raiders, fighting Bunnies and Warriors.

You know, the teams that lose no-one at Origin pick up over the next 6-8 weeks! Should be good for Easts, who'll be lucky to lose Pearce, but unlucky for the Sharks and Manly (without Gallen and Lyon holding them up, they are nothing right now).
