So Gallen gets suspended for 3 weeks for being a drug cheat and Ben Teo gets 4 for a careless tackle... Seems fair

So should've Reynolds, as well as most other bad tackles/illegal wrestlers and grub acts. As should've all the drug takers.

alot of opinions about that.

Well with the Dragons out of the finals I am jumping on the Bunnies & Panthers bandwagons

Totally not supporting the QLD teams in Bronco, Cowgirls & Storm (I know its in VIC )

I also don't want the Roosters to go back to back, as we will never hear the end of it form their latte drinking fans

Having been to a game where my tigers were on the wrong end of 50 points to Souths and seeing how their fans acted, I have no love for them. Also they double crossed us in 1909 when we were both supposed to forfeit the grand final as a sign of protest.

And they beat the Eagles tonight too

Exactly what my father in law always brings up!

I think the best finals to watch would be some combination of Panthers,Souths or Cowboys.

I'm hoping for Panthers vs Cowboys myself but Easts the cheats are looking very good, Souths are in fine touch, but can they play a full 80, and never write off these Manly and Melbourne squads.

As long as the grubdogs get eliminated this week I'll be happy.

Sat down to watch the only live NRL game here in melbounre (storm vs dogs) and Melbourne got their beats. Most unfortunate thing that with their elimination the only live game I will now see for the rest of the season is the grand final. Stupid channel 9.

Took the wife out to the Rorters (intentional spelling mistake) vs. the Panfers (again). Game was at the SFS, but it was easily a 60-40 Panfers crowd.

As a neutral supporter (as neutral as you can be against Easts! ) it was a brilliant game, with wonderful atmosphere and highly entertaining.

The better team won, the better fans won (Roosters fans were only loud when Soward was kicking for goals) and the refs were saved from a review into some farcical decisions. If I didn't know better, I'd say you could tell the exact moment the bribe money from the Roosters arrived in each half.

I was saddened to see the Bulldogs progress, I do not enjoy Ennis having success, and can't wait for him to join a perennial loser, where he will have to compete for the team title of biggest grub, most annoying, biggest boofhead on the field, and worst referee abuser. Its a shame as he seems a genuinely nice bloke when not being a jerk on the field.

Here is hoping that the Cowboys beat the Rorters this week, and Souths beat the Dogs (can't see Manly winning again this season). Any combo of Penrith, Cowboys and Souths GF is what I am cheering for.
