i tell you what. not having to put up with channel 9 coverage is fantastic. foxsports coverage is the best.

Are you still on dialup?

You can only hope.

Well scrap that. I think Parra have a crap record against the Broncos at Parra Stadium. haha

8-5 Broncos when playing at Pirtek Stadium.

Interestingly they are tied at 17-17 wins a piece heading into tonights game.

From a purely selfish POV I'm upset about this. I watched the games on Livestream anyway and we had a decent chance of getting Vossy to commentate Raiders games. Now he is more likely to be doing the "Bigger" games on Thurs/Fri and Sunday to take viewers off 9 (honestly they could have no commentators and they would steal viewers)

What squad did you end up running with?

Smith, Lichaa
Woods, LAM, Leuilai, Welch
Merrin, Surgess, Cartwright, Rochow, Turner, Saifiti
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, Jniko
Green, Aubusson, Henry, Gutherson
Barba, Mansour, Gordon, Mitchell, Feeney

pretty confident in the Turner pick now, if he stays injury free he should get at least 60 minutes a game and he is a tackling machine!

Yes it will be.

Legend! Whew. Absolutely flat out at work and couldnt spend enough time on the team post TLT. Can at least sort out Eels and B roncos tonight and worry about the rest tomorrow.

I was so close to having Ma'u in my team as I think he's in for a big year. I've got Macca & Gordon playing with Gutherson in npr's.

Haha - I am away in the country and thought it was breaking news. Haven't read anything all day. Guess it's old news.

You and me both.

Come on over boys, lovely this time of the year....

When i put Green in i didn't have the cash to turn Rochow into Whitehead...and to be fair i bigged up his play yes but have always said will likely wait to see his minutes in that raiders pack

traded for him in ultimate though, so won't be missing out if he flys out of the blocks

No Whitehead? Fo real?

Sticking with Peats. Will make a decision on Cherrington tomorrow. Booted Bhana for Nathan Green. Bring on the footy!

Argh don't say that, I only just swapped Grant in for Turner

Good luck all. Thanks mods for all the work. And Welshy for the ratings. And others for help. Now league 7, prepare to eat my dust bitches

reasons above lad, after this lockout will try and grab him over Rochow, still get unlimited trades right?

Do yourself a favour and take Welch out before it's too late

grant or edwards

The Betting Thread

For all things betting.

Don't post about how much you won after it's already finished unless you're
A) willing to post the bet slip
or
B) willing to be a fuckwit.

DPPs mean I have to pick from Henry, Green, Feeney, Gutherson and Mitchell as fifth scoring WFB/CTR. Realistically it's going to be one of the first three, but which?

Which proves my point that Parra have a good record at Suncorp.

I would be a bloody brilliant tipster if I actually knew when the teams were playing where.
