Make Top 8
Roosters $1000 @ 1.16
Rabbits $1000 @ 1.22
Cowboys $100 @ 1.62
Warriors $100 @ 1.70
Panthers $100 @ 2.00

Miss Top 8
Broncos $200 @ 1.75

Most Supercoach Points
2RF Parker $200 @ 1.85
FRF Fifita $50 @ 3.00

R1
Dogs > Broncos $50 @ 2.00
Dogs > Broncos $250 @ 1.59

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Yeah that was some bullshit, Roosters get a worse outcome by scoring the legitimate try.

I guess it's by the book, but it's just stupid. You shouldn't end up worse off in that situation for keeping on trying. Reynolds should have gone off for a professional foul either way, it's not like he didn't do it just because they scored. If he'd punched someone in the head in back play it would have been punished, this should have too.

And the rabbits managed to stop dropping the ball long enough to score. Finally.

Gus Gould has forgotten what shoulder charges are. As he does every week.

Apparently the shoulder charge was a new rule to the commentators, even though it happened over twelve months ago. gently caress Nine are retards.

I love how Nine were showing a highlight of it with them all going "how great was that" and then the refs remembered that's been illegal for ages. And then they had no clue what was happening when the refs put him in report.

Rabs knew it was and was explaining to the fans/pretending to explain to Gus who of course also knew but he's a giant baby that likes pandering to the particularly redneck fans. I agree that only shoulders to the head should be illegal but come on, don't pretend the rule doesn't exist when you know damned well it does.

Exactly. I don't like the rule as it stands but that's what it is. If you don't use your arms, it is a penalty. Gus is a giant loving baby and I wish he would, just once, shut up and admit he's wrong. It'll be a cold day in hell before that happens, he's the king of doubling down on being a moron.
