To be honest i thought the Broncos would struggle again this season, but sometimes its nice to be proved wrong

They seem to have turned the corner.

By beating Sharks and Souths who have looked very good at their best they’ve shown they should be taken seriously … again.

[Futtocks]

22 minutes in, five touchdowns and finally a try is given.

Conversion missed - Canberra 4:0 Canterbury

[Futtocks]

Frawley sells a couple of dummies and goes in under the posts. Converted for 10:0.

[Futtocks]

Canberra trying to set a "no try" record here.

[Futtocks]

Raiders 12:0 Bulldogs, with about half an hour to go. The Green Machine is quite capable of losing this match, with that much time in hand.

[Futtocks]

Raiders 14:4 Bulldogs, with 4 minutes to go, but Canberra have just lost Croker to a dislocation, in his first match back from injury.

[Futtocks]

The jaws of victory finally get something to chew on at GIO Stadium - 14:4 at FT.

Straight over to Penrith/Parramatta now, where it is nil all so far.

[Futtocks]

First blood to the Panthers - Dylan Edwards try, Cleary conversion.

[Futtocks]

Back-to-back tries put the Eels ahead, with 10 to go. 

Penrith 14:22 Parramatta

[Futtocks]

20:22 with less than 2 minutes to go!

[Futtocks]

A 2 point DG attempt from Cleary, but nowhere near going over. His kicking radar's been off this evening, which has been the difference between two fiercely-committed sides.

Game over, and the Eels have squeaked a win.

Raiders - Dogs was very forgettable . Raiders needed that but they look a long way off . Watching that I was wondering why Sticky hasn’t been picking Frawley alongside Wighton . He looked pretty assured and Schneider has looked pretty hapless all season . Good win for Parra busting ( temporarily ) the Penrith bubble . I thought Moses was pretty  quiet but their pack led the way . Parra are a bit of an enigma but they can match the best on their day

Had a corporate seat to watch this last night. What a great game with Parra deserving their win in this much anticipated derby.

The loss will do us a world of good as a few players are currently below the mark in form. I believe we will also lose to the Storm next week.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves

5 wins 2 against bulldogs and 2 against a poor bunnies team.The other win was against a decent Cronulla side.

 

let’s see how they go against Manly next week. If they can win that one then I’ll agree that they may have turned the corner…but they need to wrap Reynolds in cotton wool. 

[THE RED ROOSTER]

Wowzer - Paramatta win the battle of the West, I thought the Penny Panthers winning run as coing to an end but I thought next week rather than this week,

As Jason Bell would put it - The NRL never fails to entertain

Raiders v Dogs was not great viewing and we are getting the Nine picks with the FOXTEL commentary here in the UK. Which equates to a Queensland side on TV each week.

Sad to see Croker off with an arm injury and hoping this is not it for him but I cannot see Canberra anywhere near the top 8. Defensively sound but offensively playing a lot of one out rugby and lacking pace and a cutting edge. If you acn score 26 points you will beat Ricky's Raiders in most games.

Gus will not be seeking credit for another desperate dogs defeat.... A lot of Trent Barrett looking concerned and shaking his head on the sidelines. Apart from the fact this is not good if you on the field and your are looking at the big screen. Is it really Trent's way of giving the "it's not me" message to the TV audience...
