Battler's Round 9, ANZAC Test & City v Country

Newcastle (+1.5) @ $1.91 (2) =

Newcastle (+2.5) 2H @ $1.90 (1) =

Immature, juvenile, pathetic display from Newcastle.

Knights? You mustn't have a high regard for yourself

or 2 from 3, depending on which Newcastle line you got.

My pride in this town or this team has gone nowhere.

This is the worst bunch of footballers to ever wear the Newcastle jumper. Absolute disgrace.

How we spend the cap is fucking beyond me.

I'm sure Rick Stone will have plenty of excuses early this week.

I heard an interview with the Knights CEO on Grandstand this afternoon before the game dsicussing about salary cap issues etc

No wonder Knights are where they are when you have him running the ship. He had NFI what he was talking about

He is an absolute gibbering idiot

yeah, me too

I would still have been filthy had they of won.

Obviously not quite as much though

Melbourne (-14) @ $1.91 (5) =

ouch

How good is Newcastle's defence? Here's a stat:

Yesterday, the Knights equalled the NRL record for the most points scored by a losing side.

Newcastle should have at least been able to lose the game from 36-22 with 14 minutes to go.

Did you hear what Cummins said to Gidley when Gidley questioned the decision?

"He played the ball too quick. It's not fair on the opposition"

Hmmn.

Cummins? Check.

Titans? Check.

I said it last week........

Titans are the luckiest team in the history of world sports......

Even though i had over in that game.......No way that 1st try was a try to GC........The GC player running through made contact with the defender.......The defender did not make a bad decision, he didnt make any decision, he simply got taken out..........

And the quick play the ball.........

Just everything goes that ways team......

I have no doubt they cheated the cap but the NRL are turning a blind eye to it
