As with our game last week, if you give the ball away cheaply with these new rules you might not get it back for another 10-20 minutes

And Parra doing it in a canter, no moses, no paulo
Yeah, it was a Wallace offload that was called forward (I thought it was a tough call on him) that was the turning point. Just like Suli's drop after Garrick's break. But seriously, why aren't teams more resilient?
That was awesome. Remember when Spud v Chief was the best show in town? No fancy footwork at the line there!

Going to guess that a lot of it is just down to fatigue
Having said that we could still have won the game last week but kept making errors and had no fluency in attack.

They have a long way to go to catch up to that show, how awesome were the battles between those 2, I miss that stuff
Probably not!
Totally. I can't think of one player rivalry these days, it's such a shame.

I think I’ll just wait for the channel nine game then.
Good choice! 26 blot currently and I can't see the Titans coming back.

Two of today's games are a tough pick.
I can't remember the last time the Cows actually played a day game ... on a Saturday, but with the logistical nightmare of just about every major sport right now being played in Qld (NRL, AFL, Rugby ... even the Supercars are in Townsville this weekend), the Cows are playing a home game on a Saturday in the daytime slot. And the Chooks are out of form so who knows. Val out is big for the Cows.
Raiders vs Sharks is equally hard. Canberra were good against us, but getting Wighton back could drag them down a bit. And Cronulla ... one week they're OK, the next they're horrible.
At least we know that Melbourne should beat Newcastle.
