Cronulla? Nah.

[Chris the Human]

Apparently Manly lead for metres made by forwards.

SEA EAGLES NRL TEAM: Brett Stewart, Michael Robertson, Steve Bell, Jamie Lyon, Chris Hicks, Travis Burns, Matt Orford ©, Jason King, Michael Monaghan, Brent Kite, Anthony Watmough, Glenn Stewart, Luke Williamson

Interchange: Clint Halden, Matt Ballin, George Rose, Mark Bryant, Glenn Hall (1 player to be omitted)

Ballin has been named! Woo! Woo!

Halden is just there to cover for Orford in case he drops out, most likely.

[Chris the Human]

Knights are to line up against the Drag-Queens like so:

1: Kurt Gidley

2: James McManus

3: Bradley Tighe

4: George Carmont

5: Adam MacDougall

6: Daniel Abraham

7: Jarrod Mullen

8: Josh Perry

9: Terrance Seu Seu

11: Steve Simpson ©

12: Clint Newton

13: Kirk Reynoldson

14: Daniel Tolar

15: Todd Polglase

16: Cory Patterson

17: Matthew White

As many as four players are under injury clouds (not sure which). Jesse Royal, Kade Snowden, Riley Brown, and Akuila Uate are all on standby. Still no sign of Sargent

[Zaz]

He's out experiencing the infamous Newcastle drug culture.

[Guest Anti-Hero]

Penrith should just chuck on Windsor Wolves Jim Beam Cup squad. Couldn't hurt.

[Zaz]

For a team who used to be renowned for their backs, Penrith's sure have been ordinary in the last couple of years.

[Guest Anti-Hero]

Damn skippy, they've been terrible. Michael Gordon's not bad though, except for that botched penalty attempt from in front. Ugh.

[Guest Anti-Hero]

Double post, who cares?

PENRITH, w00t! Seriously, that was an awesome turnaround to smack the Doggies like that. I'm so happy.

[Zaz]

Whenever the Dogs get beat, I just laugh at Luke Patten. Fuck, I hate that man :@

[TheTruth]

Man, who would've thought Panthers would beat the Dogs? Same goes for the Knights. Just shows how good coaches Smith & Elliot are IMO.

Orford is out for the clash against the Tigers this afternoon, Monaghan going to half, Ballin starting at hooker.

[Chris the Human]

One man team? Six straight without the great one. Screw the media! Whooot!

[Zaz]

I hope Ballin has an awesome game. He really should have debuted last year. In fact, I hope he plays so well, that he relegates Monaghan to the bench.

Yay, Manly won.

Anyways, what was with Watmough's crack? I thought he was playing for Newcastle for a moment

[Guest Anti-Hero]

Wow, wasn't it a great day for me to accompany my mates to Leichardt? We got stuck on the hill in the pouring rain. Ah well, it was fun. We were all drinking and yelling shit at Jamie Lyon. When he was lining up a penalty near us, we just kept going "Weeeee-waaaaaa, weeeeeee-waaaaaaa". Man, Tigers were pathetic.

[Chris the Human]

I don't know what warms my heart more. Brisbane being the new one man team, Sydney plumbing the depths, or the Buldogs getting ravaged 40-10.
