Yay Now all I need are the Tigers to win and I'll be very happy with my tipping this week, once again.

 

[onebytwo]

yea, the sun will rise from the north

you can play a fullback at wings, 5/8 at centres or vice versa, but the day nsw needs a hooker to play halfback is when we might as well forfeit the game and avoid the embarassment.

andrew johns

 

[wuddie]

what about andrew johns?

 

[watatank]

how about giving fara a go at half back? i reckon he'll go alright

nah.

 

[Marny]

farah will probably play any position they give him jst to be on the NSW team. i reckon he deserves an origin spot more than anyone coz he's really proved himself.

Speakin of weekend games, how good was Cooper on Friday night! so glad the Dragons won. i reckon Soward is really gonna be something at the dragons.

what about andrew johns?

he was nsw hooker for a while and then moved to halfback

 

[onebytwo]

i didn't see the play but im pretty sure thats called obstruction. shepherding is where you just run around your own player with the ball, obstruction or not.

oh, of course, sorry. but then again they both serve the same purpose, shielding opposition players from the person with the ball

 

[wuddie]

he was nsw hooker for a while and then moved to halfback

that's because he has proven himself as a halfback at club level. at which point has farah played at halfback for the tigers this season and did brilliantly? none.

Hard to see them win from here against Eels.

 

[stazi]

Yeah theyre gooooone. argh. this is really horrible. i was 9th too out of like 27,000

 

[HotShot]

ALthough the comeback has just started... gee this lawrence dude looks good.

 

[stazi]

Hahhahah sin bin Anyone know what happened? this is also strange. Possession is even, completions are even, errors are even...why are the tigers getting pwned so badly.

 

[jemsta]

go the eels (sorry stas)
damn 36-8....game over

 

[HotShot]

good I didnt watch this match. Eels move to 4th.

 

[RiCe_GrOwEr]

Noddy got picked at halfback for the Blues and Greg Bird got a start.

7 Brett Kimmorley (Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks)

How are we meant to score tries?

The kicking is going to be worse than it was in the first game.

 

[stazi]

yay 9th still. Except I am so pissed off that I didn't switch to the Eels. Had I done so, I would have been in 4th place. Oh well. I'm only 2 points behind 1st, although my accumulated margin isn't that great thanks to the broncos pwning the knights by a million points. Nonetheless, I can smell teh moneyz.
