Roosters: 40 minutes of being cunts. Still the easiest team to hate.

loving hell Hurrell. Either go up for it properly or GTFO, don't block your own player from having a decent crack at a high ball 3m from your own goal-line.

e: is it just me or do passes have to be obnoxiously-obviously forward before the refs call them?

e2: Friend has been absolutely huge tonight.

That was loving frustrating.

From my seat, it looked like the cunts got all sorts of help from the refs. How did it come across on TV?

I didn't see anything unusual tbh. If anything I thought we were a bit lucky on the Hurrell offload for Kata's 2nd. Most of the penalties looked reasonably justified to me. (NB: not the most educated of league fans.)

I think the Warriors just ran out of puff and got rolled. The last 15 minutes was loving boring unadventurous play and they got made to pay.

Yeah it didn't look too bad on TV, except for the part where the cunts won.

Ben Ridge, Titans player. We had his entire extended family surrounding us, we had to be careful not to be our usual abusive selves since his dad and co weren't the least imposing people I've ever seen...

The Wests Tigers Board announced the resignation of CEO Grant Mayer, effective immediately.

Wests Tigers Chair Marina Go thanked Mayer for his stewardship of the Football Club for the last two years.

“Wests Tigers would like to thank Grant for his diligence and dedication to the Club", Go said.

"We look to take the next step in our evolution and a fresh approach to take us to the next level as a professional, world-class sporting organisation.

"Wests Tigers is looking forward to achieving the goals that are critical for a successful future for the Club, both on-field and off-field.”

Head of Football Phil Moss will be acting CEO until a replacement is found.

Professional search firm Crown & Marks has been engaged to find a replacement.

The Club will be making no further comment at this time.

I'm tipping Queensland on the basis of Pearce, but it does depend on DCE and Inglis not being poo poo.

Wouldn't count on Inglis not being poo poo, he isn't carrying that knee injury well at all and its been getting worse as the season goes on. That and Morris dominated him in the last game.

I have a feeling that if any magic is gonna win it for Queensland tonight it's gonna come from JT and Will Chambers

Anyone else really turned off by all this cornball poo poo with all the chipping between the players/media about how much they supposedly hate each other? Gallen's going on like a bloody pro wrestler trying and failing to cut a promo. I guess it fits his image with the steroids and the cheap shots.

I can't see how he can complain about dirty play based on what he's been doing alongside Bird for so many years.
