Crazy finish to normal time. Cleary showing why he is the best player in the game.

Tbh Joey Manu is my favourite player in the NRL.
No show today from him though.
Totally dominated by the Storm today.

Yeah love Joey as a Kiwi but always happy when his club side are on the losing end. Roosters will still be there or there abouts at the business end of the season. Strong pack, good halves and good backline.

Annoying that the chooks had Cronk and then go straight to having Walker who is still only 20. Good halfbacks just so hard to find at the moment.

Brandon Smith looking like a pretty average buy for the money. Always been a bit dubious on him as a top level hooker and currently not seeing the effort from him which is his best attrribute. Pretty lazy on defence tonight and didnt run enough when they had the ball. Conditions were ideal for him to try and slip through a few times.

Unbelievable performance. Having a great first season and already look established the Dolphins.

@Bavin how good was that performance by Souths at Brisbane today.
One hell of a league this season and Origin around the corner.

Souths looking formidable right now and will be adding Jack Wighton to that next season.

Glad to see Broncos getting shown up, still think they arent battle tested like some of the other top sides and they have had a pretty favourable draw and played a lot of average sides as well as being lucky to play Penrith in the first game of the season. Aside from that they have played Tigers, Dragons, Eels, Titans, Cowboys who are all poor to terrible and then got lucky vs Dolphins who were winning despite losing their halfback in the game.

Still think Brisbane will be around about the Top 4 but not buying them as the frontrunner as yet. They are extremely weak at hooker too, Walters is just not very good.

Storm just very hot and cold this season, too much margin between best and worst.

Broncos getting shown up again. Still don’t think they are a real top team. Only statement win was against Penrith and that was the first game.

Since then they barely scraped past the Dolphins who lost their halfback during the game and then beaten shit teams like the Tigers and Dragons and average ones like the Titans, Sea Eagles and Eels.

Also pisses me off that they get 2 extra home games this season due to the magic round game being played at their home ground but being listed as a Sea Eagles home game and then the Dolphins game as well which is due to the ground share but is effectively a Broncos home game.

So yeah, long may the Broncos getting exposed continue lol

Penrith devastating this week against the Roosters although clearly something not right there. Manu injury compounded those problems too.
warriors good value for a needed win at the Bulldogs too.

@Bavin your doubts on the Broncos born out today.
Penrith pretty much controlled the game start to finish I thought even on a low scoring game.
Good match but second half pretty much played in Brisbanes half and kept the there threat at bay for the most part.
Penrith looking the team to beat again though last few weeks.
