As much as I hate them Parra are the real deal. They seem to struggle against **** teams but they've now beaten the two heavyweights, no one else will do that this year.

Away from home as well

I expect Parra to be a genuine premiership chance. They and us should make the 4. Penrith should be favourites but any of the top four can win on their day.

Anyone know why Brisbane are the away team every year for magic round.

Everyone else is year on / off - home / away .

Just another leg up for them ?

The NRL even it out by telling the Broncos they must use the away team dressing sheds……………..

Manly have been taking a home game there for years, it's their choice.

There’s a financial incentive to be the ‘home’ team

Yep this is the main thing. I'd imagine we will make significantly more this week than if we played the raiders at home here.

I think the figured being tossed around is $250k.

Manly taking their home game to Brisbane has been happening for a while, so it could be more $$.

Re Jesse & Will, any news on if they took the early plea?

They'd be mad if they didn't.

 

[bort]

Agreed, while I heavily question how it is worse than Tupou's I don't think 2 weeks is unreasonable.
Jesse's one seems about right too, very forceful but there was no particular action he took which made it dangerous, he just came in hard and got placement wrong, given attackers body position lowered.

The Sharks pair of Will Kennedy and Jesse Ramien have accepted the early guilty plea on high tackle charges stemming from the game against the Warriors on Sunday.

Edit:

As a first offence, Kennedy will miss two games, however with a prior incident against his name, Ramien is set to be sidelined for a three-week period.

Re Jesse & Will, any news on if they took the early plea?

Will attempted to signal that he was going to take the early plea but ended up taking out the bailiff with a high shot

Should have seen what Jessie did to the judge!

 

[Bundy Shark]

I think the length of both bans for Will & Jess were good for us, especially Jess, he needs to start to readjust he’s technique cause there going to start adding up to the point where he’ll sneeze & he’ll cop a week fir it

Agree soon as you saw reverse angle, u knew he was screwed. Everyone is on notice those big front on contacts you run the risk of getting sent off and sitting out weeks. Still maintain he was lucky to stay on…

Any get around this paywall?

Just heard emergency meeting at the Dogs tomorrow, Barrett in the firing line.

 

[MrDravid]

Barrett apparently quit last night

If it's me, I'm chasing Ciraldo... He's done his apprenticeship and probably good for keeping Burton long term. If I'm Ciraldo, I'm running the other way.
