On Ch 9 before they were saying how JT is a freakish takent because he hit the crossbars and Cowboys scored off it.

Wouldn't talent be not hitting the bar and getting the field goal in the first place?

The last five minutes I've seen Bevan French get cheap shotted 3 or 4 times, about time one got picked up.

Glad I wasn't the only one calling BS on this. They were going on with "Was it all apart of a plan".

It was a crap kick, and it was a lucky bounce off the crossbar. But QLDers run with anything to make themselves feel better. Oh it is Thurston, he must have meant it!

He missed that after the siren kick in the grand final, cause he spotted hunt sucking in deep breaths he knew he was spent and would drop it cold.

It's nice having the round complete on a Sunday afternoon.

it is, but now mondays will be boring......and to be honest, even though it was wet weather, the 8,000 crowd number on friday arvo at belmore was typical of that pathetic time slot. it needs to go. sunday night is surely better

I don't understand the logic of that time slot? It's obviously a massive stretch for crowds but I don't even see it as being good for TV?

Forget about crowds - that has nothing to do with it.

Id say the reason is as simple as - you have one Friday night game on at 8:00, so they are putting another game on in the "slot" before at 6:00

On another matter, was listening to ABC Radio on Saturday afternoon and they have Ruan Simms on the panel this year. It's refreshing to have a female that actually knows something about the game rather than women who only get a gig because of their looks.
