Not sure if there is a thread for this already but some stunning games and action so far this season
After a shaky start my beloved Broncos are in decent form now- we have won 3 in a row and have beaten are Queensland rivals the Titans and the Cowboys over the past few weeks.
The reigning champions the Storm look unstopable, Slater,Cronk and Smith are amazing players and they bet the second favourites the Rabbitohs this weekend, The burgess brothers though are phenominal players and if we cant win it I hope the Rabbitohs do.

I had to take Mrs Mac out of the bar during State of Origin last year. She remarked that even rugby fans were better behaved. For us, we were on the QLD / NSW border. Nothing like SOO to bring the animal out in people. Even more than GGA.

You could play SOO in the NSW Premiers office with the NSW Riot Squad lining out for NSW and QLD would still win this abomination of a sport.
Still, my beloved Rabbitohs are apparently killing it this season, go Souths or whatever it is you’re meant to say.

Thats actually quite a good point and aussie rules has no counter argument at the moment.
But is pissing on yourself a big thing in rugby league?

Really? What was the detail around this incident? I’ve seen a few GAA players take a squirt on a pitch, there’s been at least 2 incidents I know of people doing so in Croker anyway, let alone elsewhere. There was a picture doing the rounds of a multiple All Ireland medal winner taking a squirt in O Moore Park once as well.
The big story is Macklemore’s performance of Same Love to a crown of bogans in Sydney’s Olympic Stadium, ahead of the controversial same sex marriage vote. It passed off without incident.
In other news, expect the Storm to smash the Cowboys (cc @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy) in what could be the last time you see future Immortals Cronk, Slater and Smith on the field.
