Feckit, I'm at 0-5, wtf?

penrith played good tonight

brilliant attack

together with the eels, tigers they will be the entertainers

Well, the blood has stopped flowing a little - I am 2/5. Won some cash too back on Penrith and Melbourne after losing a chunk on Canterbury. This is going to be a tough season. I am hoping Souths and the Gold Coast can get the job don a long with Wests Tigers. I could handle getting at least a pass mark (4/icon_cool.gif on the opening weekend.

In other news, I heard a Toyota Cup player was called in to the Tigers side to be on standby for Benji Marshall (from another forum) - not sure how much truth is in that. If he is out though, Manly resume favouritism.

What a sh*t 1st half that was. Turner played like it was his 1st FG game. Our completion was crap and we let them destroy us up the middle. Oh, and we're going to miss El Masri's goal kicking this year FFS!

Yeah, I was wondering about the kicking, for so many years now, the bulldogs have scrapped home with a good goal kicker, it could really hurt them this year.

We've had the best kickers in the game for what, nearly 20 years now? Ennis better get practising, or give the job to Turner.

Anyway I think the 1st set actually killed us today you know. Morris bombed the overlap after Idris had gone 40 metres and I reckon they believed the hype that it was going to be 1 way traffic. Next thing you know were 16 down and have a mountain to climb.

What killed the Bulldogs was the Bulldogs. There first half was terrible and that set up the Newcastle win. Forget the missed attempts by Ennis, the inept Canterbury defence coupled with what appeared to be a lack of intensity put them in a hole. There are positives in the sense they came back, but that first half is a worry. With that said, it's the first game of the season. Canterbury when they get it right will still in my opinion, be the team to beat in 2010.

thatll be blake lazarus, nephew of glen

Yeah, that's the guy. As I said, not sure what truth is in it.

warriors v.unlucky.

roosters very good. carney a revelation

My tips?

@#$%&@ embarrassing

3 from 7 in the tipping.

Todd Carney was brilliant for Sydney and my Fantasy NRL team (and at an attractive price - expecting that too go up now).

panthers attack was brilliant

wish my side had moves like they showed

frank the tank was awesome

Panthers were good, even better news for the fans - they have a lot to improve on. Plenty. It's a good step in the right direction. I just love the look of the team. They have a good forward pack and if you don't get excited when watching Michael Jennings play, you shouldn't be watching rugby league.
