It's his bullshit mind games that only fools himself.

 

[chemdog]

sorrenson lost his appeal of a downgrade at the judiciary and is now suspended for 3 games

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Knights might win this weekend, Elliott & Cogger are back!

Fifita has been lazy useless and his defence has been woeful all year

 

[EHBulldog]

I think we are lucky the club didn't contest any of our suspensions. Sorenson had a crack and copped an extra week on the sidelines.

Exactly why we didn’t challenge the Burton one that many wanted. Time and a place for challenges but not this week

Admittedly I thought we should, but in hindsight there's no way anybody was winning during a crackdown

Souffs v Naughts is going to be a stinking, putrid game...

Ponga will finally do something this week I reckon

 

[Orion]

Does he still breath like darth Vader?

He still hasn't scored this season.

 

[Nano]

He still hasn't scored this season.

He should just come to us with Thompson this year ey haha

Yeah I wouldn't have challenged it ever, not when we have the Raiders in Canberra the week after, it's just asking for trouble. Think we as fans have to understand that it's not like the AFL who have the silly system of challenge all you want we'll just fine the club via the soft cap if you lose and that cap is ridiculously high no club goes near the limit. There's a reason there are EIIGHT challenges this week there. NRL have the system (rightly so) where you can cop extra weeks challenging. You'd want to be quite certain you can win to challenge unless it's a fine and it's the principle.

Gray will score 2+
