NRL Round 9

Roosters vs Tigers

Matchup - Mitchell Pearce vs Luke Brooks. The current NSW 7 vs the lad who will probably take over in a few years. Both love to run the footy as well as doing their play making duties so it should be fun.

Them thoughts on the Kiwis

The ANZAC test was, as predicted by myself ehhehehe not all that bad. The Kiwis showed that they were very much there to play some decent footy and compete with the Kangaroos, but ultimately they just lacked that final whack. Here's some more thoughts on the game

Huckleberry on the Bulldogs

How do the Bulldogs keep winning?

We’re all thinking it, right? Top eight, sure. Leaders, nah. Who’s even in the team now Ben Barba’s gone? At least that’s what the general consensus was pre-season. But there they are, up the top of the log now and have closed out their last 5 games with a W.

The Panel

Standout performer

Chief Biggums - Daly Cherry-Evans. The kids pure talent and the future of Queensland's halves. Hugely involved in the game as he had a hand in the majority of Manly's tries as well as line breaks for himself and the team. Class all around, with many years ahead of him.

Benji

If you've read a book going by the same title as this article, you'll understand Benji Marshall. You'll understand the type of person he is and what drives him in life and sports.

The ANZAC spirit

No matter how much we dislike Australia, no matter how much we might even envy some aspects of Aussie life, the fact of the matter is that we are two nations in a little corner of the globe.

NRL Round 8 Preview

Dragons vs Roosters

Matchup - Gareth Widdop vs James Maloney. Widdop has had a very good year so far and is the focal point of the Dragons attack while Maloney has been well below par. A big stage for either one to step up.

The Panel

Chief Biggums - James Graham is a beast. Powerful carries and stout defense (ran for 177 metres and 38 tackles). Not to mention a head clash which left the other guy dazed and confused while he carried on with the game - pure man-ness.

NRL Round 7 Preview

Rabbitohs vs Bulldogs

Matchup - Kyle Turner vs Tony Williams. The T-Rex has been simmering away on some decent form for a few weeks and he'll line up against the rookie Turner. A great test for both men.

The Panel

Standout Performer

Chief Biggums - David Mead, has been in fine form taking over the fullback role for the Titans. Stopped the Broncos scoring tries on numerous occasions and scored a beautiful length of the field try in the Titans narrow victory.
