[CrittaMagic69]

Yeh bud. Main reason I'm going

Give the boys at least one more game before we start crucifying them.

I'm saving judgement till round 5 is over.

Anyone else think Smith in for Waddell?

You may be right but I would have Doorey for Waddell

RFM apart from that drop ball went pretty good v Knights. He bent the line a few times

Now that he’s got some Ks in his legs I’m expecting good things from him

In fact I’m expecting a better performance from us and will take the line +16 points on offer [emoji102]

Tbh not even then my friend. We'll be 0-5, no suprise there.

I'll be looking for 2 things this season.

1. Individual improvement throughout the season
2. Team improvement between round 6 and 15

Would it surprise you to learn we have the 3rd worst win ratio with him as ref at 38.46% and Penrith have a win ratio of 61.20%. Lol

I was afraid of that

Cheers bro. Not a good win rate or penalty rate..

Hopefully RFM is bit less underdone than he was last week.

Go Dogs

Hopefully they all are bro otherwise it could get ugly

That’s not hard - they only serve mid strength and the bar closes 20min into the second half .

Really that’s a bit disappointing
I got a feeling the mid‘s won’t be enough to dappen the pain.
Need to find my sneaky flask.

It has been forever like that...
By round 5 we should be able to separate the gold from the sand !

They have Canadian Club mixers which will see me through until the pub after the game .

A few roadies might be in order .

You need a hooker. Surprised Baz didn't try and get Mitch Kenny.

Penrith churns out a lot Mitch Kenny hookers, he's nothing more than cover, explains why your club went hard for Jake Simpkin swap with Laurie

Same way Baz's influence to lure Api which proved to be the right decision, we place all the confidence in Baz to find the right solution.

What ever happened to the days where players coming back from injury played a couple of games in reggies built up game fitness and then rejoined first grade. So many times we see underdone players thrown back in and perform badly. Napa to name one of many.

at least this happens after round 11 this year

Dietz can't play because JMK is fit again and can't get a exemption because he's out of the top 30.

I understand NRL granted an exemption for JMK as a result of injury (pre-season exhibition match) ... what I find puzzling is how Melbourne Storm manage to rename Tyson Smoothy for a second week who sits outside the 30 on a 'train and trial' contract, without hearing of any exemption.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they got an exemption due to Harry Grants injury.

How does stimson make it on the extended bench before Doorey topine and Ava s

All 3 of those guys should be in the 17
