Yeah, sunday has a pretty good feel about it for brisbane. They turned the corner ever so slightly last friday night despite the result and with the guys they've got coming back + "Alf" back on the scene at training (I believe that'll give the joint a bit of a lift) there are no excuses for anything but a good performance

Round 1 (4-3) +0.71 units

Round 2 (12-5) +5.82 units

Round 3 (8-15) -7.83 units

Round 4 (5-10) -7.72 units

Round 5 (3-1-1) +2.52 units

YTD (32-34-1) -6.50 units

add Aaron Payne to that list.

Still, I can see Newcastle being up by 20 with 15 to go and still not covering.

Great news for Thurston today re the extent of his shoulder injury.

Would've been a crying shame if he had to sit the rest of the season.

Wasn't aware of the Mad Dog's record - pity he won't be playing though.

I do remember Jarrod single handedly winning us a game against the Cows at home last year though. We were down at half time (it was late in the season too) and he fucking ripped it up 2H.

Problem is, he plays one great game and then three shit ones.

Henjak has named Gillett in the centres and then Te'o, Beale and Norman on the bench?

Gillett was almost their best at lock last week.

Henjak taking a leaf from the Ricky Stuart / Brad Fittler coaching manual

What do people think about the Titans game?

I see your point JT about them riding their luck but the NRL won't let the Titans lose at home, esp with the AFL team coming. Surely, if they are down in the 2H, the refs will blow them 6 straight penalties? Enough to cover, anyway.

Bird finally got the point last week and ran the ball.

Tomane is a machine..

St George look a bit skinny...

When did bullfrog move Turner away from Idris

Only took 5 rounds, huh?

Those dogs top 4 bets are looking like Newcastle top 8 bets.

That was fucking hideous last week. Cameron Smith has every right to be filthy.
