BEST BIT OF THE WEEKEND
The high level of smug being the only one to pick the Titans to win. Or the Panthers v Roosters game.
Or meeting Willie Minoga after the PNG Hunters’ fine win over Souths Logan Magpies.
BLURST OF THE WEEKEND
Wests Tigers second half v Raiders. Cowboys off night v Manly. Injuries already.
QUESTIONS FROM NRL ROUND 3 RESULTS….
Have the Wests Tigers done the right thing by sacking Jason Taylor?
If he wasn’t such a prickly jerk, would he have lasted longer?
Who will the Wests Tigers players blame if results don’t change?
If both are fit and playing well, will it be Slater or Boyd at the back for Queensland at Origin time.
Why do the NRL kid themselves regarding not being able to use technology to determine forward passes?
Which of the big rivals Sharks and Dragons will finish ahead of the other?
….AND THE INSTANT ANSWERS
Yes, Probably not, Global Warming, Boyd, Because they are clowns – it is the same to rule on offside which is currently used by video ref, Sharks.
