Stupid fucking Thursday night
games. GO FUCK YOURSELF, THURSDAY NIGHT

a crowd with an electric hand-job machine.

Melbourne Storm vs Brisbane
Broncos
Wests Tigers vs Cronulla Sharks
Nth Queensland Cowboys vs Manly Sea
Eagles
Newcastle Knights vs St George

Penrith Panthers vs New Zealand
Warriors
It’s a tipper’s nightmare this weekend,
as we head into the final regular round where teams who have no chance of
making the finals are playing other teams with no chance of making the finals,
and other games where one team might be able to make the finals if they win
against a team who can’t as long as every other game goes their way. How the hell do you try and get a team to
play off for the honour of coming either fifteenth or twelfth? They should all just go to the pub and play
drinking games instead. For most of the
games this weekend, it would probably be more entertaining to watch.
My recommendations for this
weekend is for Souths to destroy the Roosters, simply because I hate the
Roosters – is it just me, or are they becoming the new Manly? – and for
Melbourne to get a very unconvincing win against Brisbane. The Dogs should have no problem in rolling
the Titans (although the grub contest between Ennis and Bird will be
interesting) and I’m opting for the Warriors (who I have a strange and awesome boner for at the moment) to take advantage of a clearly
demoralized Penrith team. Poor Pennies
last week, had the wood over Manly for 79 minutes, but somehow managed to
lose. Good one, Penrith, you had ONE JOB
TO DO. Although maybe I'm being too hard on them - being from
Penrith, they aren't used to having a job.
The other game to watch will be
Cronulla vs the Tigers; both have been bested by the high-flying Raiders over
the last fortnight, and both will be looking to end their season on a high –
although the Sharks should probably be doing less things that end on a high, if
you know what I mean PAUL GALLEN. I’m
tipping Cronulla, simply because they came within a bee’s dick of beating the
Cowboys on Monday night. It was
definitely not a game that made you think “if Cronulla lose this by
less than 4, it would be a bookie’s wet dream. I sure hope none of the players are tanking this match because of any illegal bets being made.”

Game of the Round
Canberra Raiders vs Parramatta
Eels
The might of Canberra has done
enough to avoid the wooden spoon, and with a win could even end up third last,
which would be embarrassing for the Titans – imagine being as bad as
Canberra! However, with a finals berth
on the horizon (very distant horizon) for the Parramatta Eels, the blue and golds should have
the motivation (not to mention skills, ability, fitness, power and Jarrod
Hayne) to get the bickies in this one. Probably pretty comfortably, too. The only person who would still really give a shit would be Jarrod Croker, who is somehow sitting pretty near the top of the try and point-scoring ladders in the NRL. Yes, sportsfans, apparently the Raiders scored tries this year.
Congrats to Ricky Stuart for
breaking a five-year drought of not being able to win twice in a row, congrats
to the Raiders for winning at all, congrats to Tom Leahroyd-Lars, who, despite
not playing this year at all remained Canberra’s third-highest paid player and
then signing with Melbourne for next year, congrats to Reece Robinson who is
leaving to learn how to catch, congrats to Anthony Milford for giving us hope and taking it away, congrats to Sam Williams for signing back with
the Raiders after a one-year stint elsewhere (great, another promising halfback
to ruin next year) and congrats to all of the team for not being as shit as the
Sharks.
