It has to be said if you are PVA and Andrew Abdo you are rubbing your hands in glee and the glorious unpredicability of this years NRL. Just think, Raiders walloped Warriors at Vegas, Warriors then walloped Manly in Auckland then the Tom Turboless Silvertails smashed the Raiders today at 4 Pines Park. You also have Gold Coast who looked abject for most of the game against the Dogs at Belmore then emphatically end Newcastl's unbeaten run.

It's a season in which the majority of teams can beat each other and a week to week league, and as I have got off to a "Trent Robinson" start in this years tipping comp  all I will say is its a long season and things can turn around... i hope....

I think they would prefer closer games…too many blow outs.

I'm catching up on most of the weekend's action throughout today.

Broncos marked the retirement of Corey Oates prior to the Cowboys game. However they managed to turn this well intentioned gesture into a bit of an own goal. Sam Thaiday interviewed him on the pitch in the pre game build up and then Corey went on a ‘lap of honour’ with his partner and two young kids around the pitch allowing the fans to show their appreciation for a wonderful career. Unfortunately this was ruined by the lights being extinguished while the video boards and (very) loudspeaker announced the broncos line up accompanied by a firework show leaving the lap of honour in the dark.

There is something about the broncos these days, how they manage to turn a big PR plus into an own goal. It seems to coincide with the running of the club being left to non Queenslanders who just dont know the Broncos DNA.

You deserved better Corey….thanks for the many happy memories of a wonderful career….and apart from all those wonderful tries you scored for the broncos how could we ever forget that near length of the field try at Suncorp for the maroons in what Paul Gallen described as the worst Queensland team ever.
