How pathetic is the draw. Tigers play storm for the 2nd time in 4 weeks and parra play penrith again after meeting in round 1..
 
The draw is a joke, A real mess can't believe that someone is paid money to organise it and someone looks at it and rubber stamps it, and the fans, supporters?
 
Big win raiders, thought Joey had his best game in a while, Canterbury struggled, got a very good side, man for man, but not performing/jelling with that forward pack they should be doing better and Raiders had a few HIA problems, gutsy win
 
Cowboys doing it tough against a team who’s been offside most of the game and getting every 50/50 call go their way
 
Didnt see the game but not surprised cowboys lost. Watched most of first four rounds and everything is so damn slow and predictable. Struggling to see the points in the outside backs this year. O'Neill has passed his use by date time to get Tuala in there.
 
Safe to say this years comp has had a stunning start

Warriors and Dragons undefeated, Tigers in 3rd, Roosters inconsistent, Knights in the Top 8, Melbourne struggling, Sharks not in the 8, Raiders 4 and 1 to start the season, Cowboys 14th, Eels last and are only averaging 9.5 points a game but are conceding an average of 30.5 a game

Don't think anyone picked this after the first 5 rounds
 
Parra 0-5

That's the first time they have lost their opening 5 games since 1991 and in that season they finished 2nd last

Think when Coote comes back they’ll better both offensively and defensively.
 
Really enjoying the way the Tigers are playing, they should have been 5-0 and are playing with heart. Goes to show an attitude transplant goes a long way. Taking the year off worked well for Ivan Cleary as well and hopefully the Tigers don’t get dogged by injuries the way Penrith were when he was there.

Goes to show also that who was the real problem between Marshall and Farah. Farah only cares about himself and pumping up his own form so he’s a shot for origin and Australia.
Marshall looks refreshed and happy to play the veterans mentor role and take a back seat to the younger guys while being a calming influence with smarter plays.
