Mrs Barista sent a letter to the NRL diciplinary committee saying she wouldn't be able to sleep this weekend if she couldn't see him running around the pitch in his shorts.

More like it from the bunnies!

Nice ball Tank for Doggies first T-R-Y.
Even better ball for Doggies third T-R-Y.

Looks that way.
Bunnies in even more trouble if GI is crocked.
We might be the Canterbury of SL next season although we could do with a Morris or two.

I went to the Penrith match against St George last night. Sika Manu had an absolute shocker- the worst I have seen him play! Some Penrith fans were scathing in their criticism particularly on their fan forum. After a match performance rating of 2/10 one fan posted as below.

" Sika should have a negative score. We literally would have been better off playing with 12. His ' contributions' kept pressure on us and made sure Dragons stayed in the game. Penalties/errors galore. Worst performance in the past few years by any Panthers player easily."

In his defense he did make nearly 30 tackles and the Penrith season is over except to try to avoid coming last.

Freddie apart from last nights performance overall how do you rate him and do you think he'll be a good signing?

Same question for the other acquisitions.

Thanks.

Watching the Roosters tonight and you can't help but notice how their hooker Jake Friend totally runs the show,passing left and right and switching play all the time,oh and a brilliant kicking game.Saw Michael Ennis do the same thing in an earlier match,don't think we have anybody in Super League who can match up to some of the NRL hookers.

Swain was the same for us. I've said many times that not replacing him properly is what has really hamstrung us since 2007 far more than losing cooke. We've gone through multiple halfs in those intervening years but houghton has been our hooker for most of that time. All of the halfs can't have been bad

The same can be said for Josh Hodgeson for the Raiders. He's improved beyond belief Inthink he could be pushing Roby for England shirt.

Josh Hodgson has gone on to another level,left Roby,Houghton and co well behind.You can have the best half backs in the world but without the hooker dictating the speed and direction of the play the ball your attack slows down.And as for the speed of the play the ball,we are pedestrian compared to the Aussie teams.

We're pedestrian because the rfl/referees allow all of the messing about whereas the aussies don't. It's making the game boring to watch and needs addressing

This Eels v Sharks game is on fire.
Great stuff.
