:D holy poo poo

kicking's been the difference. Good game, I honestly thought Wire would win this before the game.

Next game is weird, I was born in Brisbane and hate wigan after growing up in the UK (every one hates wigan right?) aaaaaaand I think I want Wigan to win.

Yeah I hate Wigan (my ex wife's team as well as the usual reasons) but I want the north to win.

Wolves unlucky really, Marshall was brilliant.

Noope, still want Wigan to lose. I don't think they will, though, I think Brisbane is a 'meh' team and Wigan are very good.

Warrington looked good. Nabuli should have gotten a card for that clothesline tackle, might have made the difference but probably not.

The Marshall-Widdop-Dugan backbone of the Dragons looks very solid now that they've had an entire pre-season to settle players into their positions and gameplan.

Brisbane regularly lose in the UK even when they've boasted some of the strongest lineups in the NRL. I don't see the Broncos winning either but it'll still be good to see Bennett's largely new vision of the team.

Shame they aren't playing Eden at fullback and letting him show off a little in England

The crowd is pretty amazing, you don't hear crowds like that in Australia outside of Lang Park on origin night

Or the local roundball. Except national team games which are pretty average in comparison.

Trip report from Seiffert Oval in beautiful downtown Queanbeyan: based on this it's going to be a long season for the Raiders. Croker went off after 90 seconds or so and didn't return, after a heavy tackle, but they looked uninsipring at best in all facets of the game. Knights fans will be pleased to know that the cutout to Uate still works wonders - I think he picked up three that way.

Also, the "official estimated crowd" was 6350.

Uate got 3 and is looking the fittest he's ever been. We were leading 26 - 0 and let them have a consolation try.

Matty Smith usually takes drop goals only when Wigan are already 10+ points clear, as sort of a "gently caress you" to the opposition. Intrigued to see how this goes...
