Probably more likely a 60min player in normal circumstances. Last week there were injuries to tupou and maubbs.

Ive had my eye on him since preseason and will be watching this week..

Its good in the sense that any publicity is good publicity.

But pretty much every media outlet is talking about refs ruining a game of football, other than Broncos fans there is not a lot of positivity about the game. Is that what the NRL want post game discussion to be about? Golden Point almost ensures it.

Klein is shit and it was a poor call tonight, but on the whole, the refs are not ruining footy games and the media need to take some responsibility to stop perpetuating this attitude among fans.

murray with only 5.5% ownership. for some reason i thought he would be a lot higher. could make for a nice pod tomorrow

Yes was tossing up him or TPJ, got the right one

228 from 5.

I am happy with that. Of the 12 players I have left, I still have this guy tomorrow.

That's not necessarily down to golden point. Klein could have given that dodgy penalty in the last minute of normal time for the same result and reaction . Or Isaako could have nailed the second drop goal so no penalty and everyone's talking about the ice-cool rookie.

However there's nothing wrong with an 80 minute draw. By definition that's a tight game with comebacks and lots of tension.

You misspelt "Gutsy" with "Gusty". As in wind. As in Fart. As in the end of that game stunk like a fart. An Eggy Fart.

These referee mistakes happen all the time so I dunno why anyone is surprised by what happened.

Baldy is terrible in every match. How they fired that little blonde elf and not him is beyond me

Absolutely shattered but I think on the whole calls evened out, just happened to be the last one went against us.

In regards Golden Point, I might be in the minority but I absolutely love it.

the captain cook pictures have made me laugh every single time

6/266 no captain yet.

7/355 captain Smith

Difference with the no call though is it’s correct because of how the question was sent upstairs! The penalty was just a shit call! Tigers got dudded

I used to hate it. These days, i enjoy it. Its entertainment. I dont really like it as much when my team is involved. Win or lose.

6/292 captain Cam

Bennett said it looks like TPJ will sit out next week. Said he will probably rest him anyway. Just a heads up for people who have trades for this round.

If hes just out a week thats not tii bad. Hes a definite hold.

Good photo of the markers not being square at the play-the-ball, preceding any block play.

Although that almost NEVER gets called, and absolutely never in game-breaking situations and if I was a Wests fan I'd also feel massively dudded.
