By not starting your games at the advertised time it means I go and do other things and often forget there's a game on. Plus it's amateur af. Get your shit together.

It really is shambolic isn't it, still can't believe (after 5 months here) that this happens almost every game - bizarre.

Elliot on 1 after 15 seconds what a gun!!

It's like going to the movies - same deal. The later they start the game, the more advertising they can get in, especially gambling ads in the NRL's case.

That was pretty soft defense through the ruck.

Tough call that, didn't look much contact on Thompson

I dont mind the Cowbos jumpers but why on earth are they not wearing dark shorts? It looks stupid

Bout the same amount Woods made on Gallen. NRL has made their bed though...

Pretty soft no try. Hardly any contact.

That's their away strip shorts. Not sure they are allowed to wear anything other.

Good to be back lads. Took a break over the rep weekend for a refresher. Meant that I had no idea what I was doing this week and missed all the bantz here but was good all the same!

Wonder if Asiata will be used as a 5th tackle option to alleviate pressure on Morgan and Thompson who are both average halves at best. Could be a good foil.

Unlikely with coote back in the side.

G'Call... forgot about that bloke.

Think Elliott has been reading about how good he is and been taking it seriously.

The games actually do "start on time", as per ch 9s run sheet. Ie it is all part of 9s scheduling.

It is annoying though, but its about maximising advertising opportunity as people will sit down at the time they list the game to start

Asiata gonna go yo half now, Thompson gone injured.

Hampton on early. Going to smash that 5 BE

Jackson having a shocker

Go Ref.......don't stand for the back chat. Needs to be applied in every game !

Thompson HIA im think so good for Hampton holders
