The bunnies didn’t look great. But to say tigers were the better side is a stretch. They just looked better than how sad and pathetic they usually look. Bunnies can come out of nowhere - we’ve seen it many times before. Roosters are done though.

[@BenWick-oc8pv]

Did this or any of the talk shows weigh in on Kasey Badger's shocking Bunker call? Nobody seems to care which may be understandable because it was only the lowly Dragons. If a Bunker official says in game between the Broncos and Roosters that "I can see the ball is grounded. Just checking to see if it is over the line. The player is clearly over the line. Having viewed all angles we have a NO TRY decsion" it would take up 80% of air time. NRL doesn't and media don't give a #%$^ about teams low on the ladder

[@bradslowgrove1128]

P.S If Souths were not a chance to beat Penrith and win the premiership it would be not headlining your show as Souths were running 9th a week ago on that ridiculously wrong published NRL ladder. You have to adjust and rearrange the sides on that ladder because they are not smart enough to know you have to include the byes before you look at points differentials. A bye is an omission, a non-event, you do not have to wait for the '' non-event'' to arrive to count the 2 points because it never arrives , silly. Just like it is not arriving now because it is a non-event. Brisbane are leading the competition not Penrith.Gould is still worried about Souths knocking off Penrith that is why it is on the show. He secretly knows the truth and you can smell his fear. See below..

[@troystaunton254]

Penrith 1. Edwards 6. Luai 7. Cleary 9. Kenny 13. Yeo Brisbane 1. Walsh 6. Mam 7. Reynolds 9. Walters 13. Carrigan. 1. Mitchell 6. Walker 7. Elias 9. Cook 13. Murray. They’re all good spines but Brisbane and Penrith are clearly the 2 best going around at the moment. I’d argue that Ilia’s, walters and Kenny are the weakness in all of their respective spines. You can win with a good hooker and great halfback. You aren’t likely to win with a great hooker and good halfback.

[@tinshlong]

[@kaynesworld4900]

Latrell does his job week in week put set up try’s , scores try’s line breaks everything but some of the team around him aren’t up for the premiership fight. Example when he was at the roosters he was in a gun side and all he had to do was add the X factor bam a grand final ring.

[@Hadouken1232]

why do they always say hamstring or calf injury when really its either the MCL or ACL. Is that their way of hiding it?

[@kevinfergusson694]

It doesn't take one player to make a successful team, he's done it on the big stage for Australia,I front of thousands, I think if latrell can maintain a healthy lifestyle, he'll certainly produce the goods on a weekly basis, as soon as he put on the weight, because certain people wanted him with his strength and pace, to move into the forward pack. He started to lose faith in those he trusted If it ain't broke....

[@bradslowgrove1128]

If Souths because of their draw can sneak into fourth spot and then get all their top key players on the field at the same time they can beat Penrith. Imagine if they had kept Reynolds. Look at the Broncos. Latrell has done it at the big end of the season when he played for Easts. So Gould is wrong and how could he do it for Souths when he has wrongly and outrageously suspended for the rest of the season 2 years ago.? Mitchell's suspension was for the same sin bin offence as they get now and it cost Souths the premiership.. Penrith were not the best side 2 years ago and beat Souths by a penalty goal with no Latrell after Penrith stood off side for the whole game across their entire 12 man defense line. Penrith did it first against Souths in the prelim final the year before to win by two penalty goals. It is called the '' Harry Bath'' and an outrage and was a principal factor in Saints winning 11 premierships in a row. If you do not create a juxtaposition in the defensive line by everyone standing off side then no offside penalty because that is what refs look for as they are too busy in the rucks and play the ball having to call held in nearly every tackle and watching for ''illegal'' accidental tackles all the time. The refs cannot gauge the 10 metres properly. It is too far. So they check for juxtaposition in the defense line for offside.They need to go back to the 5 metre rule and reward low tackling to stop the offside across the park and instead of punishing accidental high tackles where the offensive player drops down in an otherwise legitimate'' ball and all'' attempt tackle.. Bring back the ''Jimmy Lisle'' tackle and reward it. If there is no marker but momentum has stopped they still must play the ball forward and pick it up before they can run again otherwise they are penalised.. It creates an incentive to tackle low.Harry Bath got away with all offside all the time for all 12 players in defense and it was a 3 meter off side rule then. There is no better cheat than the big cheat just like the big lie works best. Do it all the time, '' everywhere all at once'' and everyone takes it for granted.. Souths saved Fittler's bacon in the last State of Origin after being sabotaged in the club games by State of Origin squad selections and then not playing them except for Cook and Murray out of position as interchange players in Origin 1 and 2. When they played the Souths' guys in Origin 3 because they had to, the Blues won convincingly and no Latrell. It stinks to high heaven and Souths are still paying for it.. Penrith has too much power in the upper echelons of the game..Penrith have the best squad but Souths are the best team. There is a hidden advantage in having Latrell back that has been missed. Souths do not have to play Taffe who was worth at least 3 tries per game to the other side in missed tackles when Latrell was out. Taffe is not marketable as a fullback, maybe as an interchange half back that is all. He is way too small for fullback in defense. Now is a time where there has never been as many good fullbacks in rugby league history. They are everywhere. In the grand final two years ago Penrith should have not been there. Parramatta were robbed against Penrith in the prelim final because that pass from Gutherson was not forward.and it cost the Eels the match. Parra should have eliminated Penrith to have a Souths v Eels grand final. This year is the first time the Eels has beaten Souths in over 5 seasons. Souths are still a chance as they improve despite the SOO sabotage by the Penrith '' mates'' mafia.

[@marvinparker2711]

Since when did the lock become part of the spine ?

[@bradslowgrove1128]

A rejoinder that nobody notices: Alex Johnson might not be part of ''the spine'' of Souths but has anyone ever noticed that all the tries he has scored would still be tries under the old rule when the corner post was out. He is a great winger and footballer and has no need to stoop to become a '' circus performer'' because of a bad rule change. One day there will be an abnormal for football serious injury because of the weirdo acrobatics in the current game. It could even happen at training if they use trampolines. It is not football but a dangerous show coming from the money people sticking their nose into the rules to please the dummies addicted to excitement rather than football skills and want as many tries as possible and don't care how they are scored. Alec is the best.
