Definitely Roosters and Eels. And I hope Souths don't make it either.
Man I hope south’s lose due to me not being able to stand Walker or Mitchell. But then again don’t want the roosters to make it either because well it’s the roosters. I’m torn.

You can hope for the Cowboys to edge into the 8 IF Panthers rest a truckload of players last round against them.

She wasn’t present when she nominated her tips!
So now thats tipping to go with Dally M votes and coaching she is a no show for!

Yeah….nah!
I don't hope for that at all, **** the Cowboys. I'd rather one of the NSW clubs in contention get there
bad enough they are a Qld side but Val and Chad don't need to be getting anywhere in finals, their one success has been had.

Getting A.I to write a sports report is liking getting a monkey to wipe your ass

You can do it yourself with a little more effort but it's far less messy

Sports reporting is the most generic rote **** - every mainstream journo writes the stories the same way following the sports reporting text book without deviation then editor slaps an exaggerated click bait headline on it.

Job done, then off to the pub to cry into a beer about wishing they took that carpet sales job. Whoever conscripted that bot to write the story should be placed on suicide watch

Latrell best player in game? LOL he wishes, no where near it. I know Souths fans that curse him for how useless and lazy he is alot of the time
He could be so good though if he dropped the ego and went on a diet beffiting of a professional NRL fullback. Needs to go to centre in meantime. He aint gunna get more agile as he ages either.

Could even turn him into a Wade Graham style forward if he refuses to lose the kegs.

As for JMO he deserves better than going back to the Tigers, wish there was a role at the Sharks he could fill, we punted him even though he wanted to stay on. Average player but a good guy with some tactical nous, just wants to do his best for his players and club.

A lot of sports reporting is already handled by our computer overlords (love your bits, computers listening in to this now) and has been for a while.

JMo will be the Benji to Benji's Sheens'ie.

If that's hard to unravel, JMo will be doing a lot of the actual coaching you'd expect. Benji will likely take more of the head coach style role on. JMo's a really canny pickup for the Tigers, he adds a lot of experience in development, head coach and assistant coach roles. Everything they need.

The Minns government has abandoned plans for a complete rebuild of Penrith Stadium after discovering the cost of delivering the project had more than tripled.

The government will still spend $309 million on refurbishing the Penrith Panthers’ home ground, but a wholesale rebuild on a neighbouring site has been abandoned.

Instead, the Herald has confirmed the government is likely to commit to a partial redevelopment of the existing site after a review found the project promised by the former Coalition government would cost more than $900 million.

The Coalition had promised to spend $309 million building a new stadium, nominating the neighbouring Penrith Paceway occupied by the local harness racing club as a future site.

Or maybe he's soft. Saw something he & Sam disliked. Sam refused to remain part of it, JMO quietly snuggles back into his box.

JMO doesn't have the emotional attachment to Souths that Sam does and as far as we know until a few days ago JMO didn't have another job to go to

Also I think it's a personality thing as much as an opinion/coaching thing
