Here’s a list of other things
that happened in 2011:
- Amy Winehouse died.
- Charlie Sheen went fucking nuts.
- Katy Perry and Russell Brand got divorced.
- There was an earthquake in Japan that fucked up the Fukushima Nuclear Plant.
- Beyonce got pregnant.
- The final Harry Potter movie was released.
- Downton Abbey was popular.
- Osama bin Laden and Kim Jong-Il died.
- That “Occupy Wall Street” movement started. And ended.
- NASA concluded its space shuttle program.
- Manly beat the Warriors in the NRL Grand Final. Holy shit, I remember that. Holy shit, I should remember that - it was only three fucking years ago!
It might just be me, but I find
it fucking weird that coaches switch clubs more often than Geoff Toovey changes
tampons. If a player had the lack of
loyalty that coaches do (Sonny Bill, I’m looking at you, you overrated fuck),
the fans wouldn’t have a bar of it. How
then, are the players supposed to play under a different structure, with
different ideas, with new teammates and new police officers every few years and
still perform to a high standard? Sure,
they should be able to catch a ball, tackle a player and not piss into their
own face, but let’s be honest – these are rugby league players we’re dealing
with. It’s all colour and movement to
most of these blokes. And urine.
Round 22:
I’m opting for the Manly people
to beat the South Sydney people, just because I don’t trust Souths at the
moment. This is their chance to impress
me.
The Doggies surely have enough
spark to get out of their current slump and get up over the Broncos. Surely they can. It’s the Broncos! Piece of piss.
Everyone is still underestimating
the Panthers, which is weird, cause they’ve been top of the table for most of
the year, and there’s about four rounds to go.
Maybe they’re not as shit as we thought?
(but maybe they are)
South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Manly Sea Eagles
Brisbane Broncos vs Canterbury Bulldogs
Newcastle Knights vs Melbourne Storm
Nth Queensland Cowboys vs Wests Tigers
St George Illawarra vs Penrith Panthers
New Zealand Warriors vs Cronulla Sharks
Sydney Roosters vs Gold Coast Titans
Game of the Round:
Parramatta Eels vs Canberra Raiders
To keep Canberra off the bottom
of the ladder, the Sharks need to lose by less than twenty, and the Raiders
need to only lost by 30 to remain in second last place. Yes, that is what it has come down to.
I was almost going to tip the
Raiders (I’d had a bit to drink) and then remembered that they lost three of
their best players last week, including the only bloke on the team who knows
how to tackle. If someone doesn’t step
up into Fensom’s regular-sized shoe, we’re going to be in trouble.
Fuck it, we’re in trouble anyway.
Even Rugby League computer games know how it feels. Here is Alan Tongue and Jarrod Croker's love child feeling sad
