Did AFB PLAY BAD? only 44 mins

Bulldogs, Broncos and Storm are looking like the teams to beat, also glad we got that win off the Roosters they're looking very gritty and much better without Townsend. Broncos are their own worst enemy with overplaying their hand making too many errors. Bulldogs have been suffocating teams with defense though their attack has been pretty pedestrian, will be interesting to see how they go against the Bunnies and Broncos over the next 2 weeks. I think every other team looks very beatable, our draw not looking too bad atm depending on form.

How good is the bulldogs draw? If they don't finish top 4 there is something wrong

Short term thinking to want wins from lower teams to help our standing this week.

What we want is most of the bottom 8 losing regularly to solidify our top 8 spot at the end of the season

I prefer a more condensed table. Sure it lowers the floor but also raises the ceiling. We need to aim as high as possible.

Are the WA locals boycotting this event or are they late?

Optus Stadium holds 60K. I'd guess it is 1/3 full, so maybe 20K crowd. Not great but not terrible either.

 

[Makasene]

31,000 they've just reported.

That's pretty good.

Optus is not where the NRL team would play

What a terrible call for the 'hip-drop' Wighton on Drinkwater - how did they find that ?

Bunnies like to boast about their Perth fanbase.

Good job, smash them Ming.

 

[CWC]

What a bs call lol just run 5cm off the ground in the dying minutes

Watch Hughes doing that to our dumbest players when they are under pressure

I'm guilty of that short-term thinking

So far all the results are going our way - we haven't been dislodged or displaced from 4 on the ladder!!

I'm also quite excited for Eels to beat the Raiders as it means Penny will be dead last this weekend
