Get yu hand off it Baz...
Nah...each to there own, I just dont like it.
You gonna win, do it in style, dont be a dog about it.
Its always been there but its out of control and its only going to get worse.
Benji clearly milked a penalty. We all know it including the officials.
But yeah, hes a genious and smart and all that, commentators lined up on the sideline ready to give him a gobby for it.
My bad, I was actually replying to @Cook with tongue firmly planted in cheek but hit reply to your comment by mistake.

I was simply admiring the old bloke showing some of his magic but he wanted to bag him and give Walker credit for some of Benjis work. I don’t think Benji was doing a Soward, more just an old head leveraging a silly rule.

Koloamatangi is a beast and would love him in our pack.
Him and Sua are brutal. This years finals when it’s down to last four, are going to be epic. Comps a bit lob sided, yet I reckon be best finals series

Good to see CHN stays consistent with his usual six missed tackles a game. How he's starting over some of their gun forwards is beyond me. He's so overrated.

I may have had too many bourbons, especially for a Thu night, but I've been trying to find the penalty count for tonight's game on the nrl website. I can't find it. (Why ?) From my secondary research (Reddit), it was 8 - 1 to Souffs.

He also only had 6 runs for 38 metres in 80 minutes. What a softcock.

Ricky complaining about the slow ruck and was surprised they only had 7 set restarts. I called it at the beginning of the match, South’s were lying all over the Raiders and should have been pinged much much more.

On reputation. His performances over the last few months have been awful, Raiders are better without him. We will end up with Smith or Clark.
It's because he's back from a reco. Takes a few months to a year to get back to normal. Been saying this for years.

On Brisbane tonight in an upset. There last four games have been against the top four sides. Good value against much easier opposition than what they’ve been facing

You're right it does take time but he's had several other injuries over recent years and has been on the decline for a while. He was great his first few seasons in the NRL, and is still a good player but it wouldn't surprise me if Canberra move him on after this season and make Starling their hooker on a much cheaper deal.

Canberra have to shake things up massively and this move seems like a no brainer..

Ricky is a serial whinger. It's never his fault apparently....always either the refs or the players not putting in. I mean he basically dropped Papallii and Hodgson so is it any wonder his team is struggling when a significant slice of his cap is sitting on the sideline? That's down to him and his dumbass selections.
As for the disallowed tries...they were both classic obstruction calls. Maybe he should coach his players not to loiter in the defensive line? That would be a start. Can't stand the guy

Benji milking the penalty instead of actually making an attempt to tackle.

Storm v Sharks at 6pm - my picks

- Storm to cover ( -16.5)
- >43.5
- ATS: JAC, Reimis

With Tolman and Woods as the starting front row, i'll be shocked if Storm don't just completely roll over them and score in the first 5 minutes.
