I got a bad feeling this one WILL get ugly if we don't show up.

 

[boxer]

Allen to slow and Napa is a waste .

 

[boxer]

Hopefully Okunbor will be in and Allen out.

 

[spiritofaslan]

I'd drop Manu or Schoupp. Roosters hammered that side of the field last week, and no doubt it'll be exploited this week.

Then drop Waddell and Stimson for Doorey and Ogden.

That’s better not much better but better.

 

[boxer]

Fucking Okunbor stay on your wing.

 

[boxer]

BBO is a gun

 

[Sleeky]

Katao is useless, bring BBO back

 

[boxer]

I agree katoa is shit

 

[Sleeky]

I might have to rescind that comment lol

 

[boxer]

Lol ugly kick

 

[Sleeky]

BBOOOOOOOO!!

 

[boxer]

His a gun

 

[Captain Ibis]

Sucks that you can't punch, as Walker would have been put in his place long ago, and Lachy wouldn't have been dealing with his BS.

 

[BomberBurton]

Need a NRL amnesty for all that want to 'educate' Walker for his antics.

 

[spiritofaslan]

So the washup at judiciary.

Lewis fined $1500 for his effort on Walker.
Napa fined for a high tackle.
Hetherington no case to answer (yet was put on report and they benefited from the immediate penalty given).

 

[Captain Ibis]

Fare out hey, that's the best outcome the Dogs have had at the judiciary in a very long time!
