    Good game this morning so far with the Raiders and Roosters.


    Edit: great game, right on the edge second half until the last seconds.

    I'm working all day, so I'll be recording it and avoiding twitter and here, until I watch it tomorrow evening.

    May the best team win!

    Man I'm excited at how good this blues team can be over the next few years. Fair enough the Cane toads were a bit under strength( they were excellent in the first half in fairness to them) but bloody hell the blues were electric . I'm a very happy man.

    Some intensity in that game, first half was relentless. Despite how the commentators framed the first half, I didn't really see Queensland getting anything out of the game. Thought the ref let a few too many high shots go but that's probably just the sheer pace of the whole game.

    Oh and congrats to the Blues fans!

    Some interesting stats there. 50/50 pissesion nah Gagai with the most metres. But the most impressive star is Fafita with 11 breakthrough runs hopefully he plays like that in game 2

    Possession stats in Rugby League can be pointless. Stuck in your own half, possession is useless, completion of sets of six, is another stat I often see, when you don't get out of your own half completion rates are also pretty meaningless.

    I'd love to see some of the rules enforced next game, intensity and passion was off the scale, but ref is there for the rules, not to let virtually EVERYTHING go for the sake of the spectacle. Just end up with a game of bulldog otherwise.

    Can't see past a NSW series win, and think it could well be a whitewash which don't come round too often.

    I caught the game yesterday evening. I was surprised the Blues were so dominant in the second half. Maybe that try just before half-time rocked Queensland after they had got back into it. Fifita was immense for the Blues. Hayne stepped up as well. I thought Gagai did well for Queensland.

    Warriors back to losing ways against the Eels anyway, somethings you can rely on.

    Said it before, and I'll say it again. Brisbane Broncos give great value for money. Virtually every week they have a close game.

    Origin hasn't done Bulldogs any favours has it, they are getting a bit of a shoeing from the Panthers so far, though not out of sight on scoreboard yet.

    Jordan Rapana had a great performance vs Manly despite the result. Took some big hits and still produced quality when needed.

    Was working today so missed the Dogs. Looks like working on a bank holiday was more fun sadly enough

    Good game between Sharks and Storm. I thought the momentum was with the Sharks in the second half but Storm just about held on.

    Knights could have sneaked something near the end. Gruelling game and a tough watch, much better game later on, Broncos continue their run of good games to watch.

    I'm getting up early tomorrow to watch the Warriors get their bums kicked. That's right, I'm a moron.

    Well I wasn't too moronic, stuck it on record instead of getting up at 6. Glad I did, what a brilliant performance from the Warriors, great for Hoffman. Expect a shocker next week.

    Sickener for the Raiders. Letting the Panthers claw it back (see what I did there). 8 points down with just under 2 minutes to go.
