NRL 2010 - The year of the controversy!

So much off field drama with Brett Stewart still in the news, the Knights drugs scandals, the Roosters scandals, Thurston's long term future in the game, the list goes on!

But the season has finally kicked off with a bang!

A fantastic game last night with the Broncos and Cowboys, a great win for my Panthers tonight, Knights upsetting the Dogs and Melbourne pushed by the Sharks.

I hope the season uses this as a platform to do the talking on the field rather than off it.

My pick for the title: Melbourne for a triple.

Wooden spoon: Canberra

Bolter for the top 4: Penrith and South Sydney

Underachievers: Parramatta

Feel so outta the loop not living there anymore - but go Wests!!!! Hoping Lote lights it up this season, stoked we somehow nabbed him.

Yeah, it seems to have started with a bang as you say Crouchinho. Watching the Sharks vs Melbourne game last night, though disappointed we didn't get the win, i was still happy at the effort we put in against the reigning premiers.

Roosters were very impressive today against the Souths, and Todd Carney was on fire.

My pick for the title: Dragons.

Wooden Spoon: Raiders.

Underachievers: Bulldogs.

Aye.

Now that this on it will provide  a much needed distraction from our woeful season here.

Was excited at one point as I though the Raiders were going to turn around a 22-0 deficit but it wasnt to be.

I would pick the Storm also for a third title this year.

Wooden Spoon: Warriors

Underachievers: Bulldogs

Dark Horse: Roosters/Panthers

Carney was outstanding today with Pearce. Was gutted when we had those talks with him but he didn't sign for us.

We got Walsh now so i'm happy enough.

Dally M predictions?

I'll stab at Slater.

Dally M winner: Greg Bird

Dark horse: Newcastle

More livid that the Raiders ever kicked him out.

Dally M;o h geez a tough one really..any of these 3 - Soward, Hayne, Carney??

F**k off Penrith.

Elliott again shows he has no skill in motivating a team. Second half crumble.

Mate, been an eagles fan since Ridgy, Geoff Toovey and the boys reigned. Another sloppy start to the '10 season, blew it v eels, 20 nil at half time and we lose 24-20, can't figure that one at all, Big loss to lose Stewart, again. and Matty Orford has gone to the UK.

Come on the boy's

newcastle lad born and bred so the knights are my team . would be happy to see em sneek into the eight like they did last year . st. george are lookin the buisness so far . with only 2 games played it's far too early for any predictions on my part .

Must of been a shocking off season for Knights fans.

Stewart gone for the year and charged with sexual assault. Not good times for him and Manly. Possibly 0 and 3 as well.

For the rest of the NRL that's good because no one else likes Manly Although i hope he isn't charged with assault. The whole thing seems abit too fishy for me.

Anyone watch The Matty Johns Show? I thought it was pretty good TBH. I would compare it to what The Footy Show used to be. It's less about football, more about skits and the like.

Bring back the biff.

The Knights got fucken walloped by a previously winless this season Manly . I struggle to think of a more inept performance in attack by the Knights ever . Not only that Arsenal again failed to put away a team and gave up a late draw 

Penrith were shocking mate. So many chances against a weakened Storm outfit and we blow it. How can you earn a professional contract and not know how to hold a ball?

Bad weekend all round for us with the Raiders, Panthers and Knights getting done.

Good one for you, though!

Tigers got another win, big comeback win as well against the Raiders.

Sitting third on the table!

Lote Tuqiri is already signing of the season. What a player. So happy he's back in the NRL.

He has been a favorite of mine for years with the Wallabies, saw him play in the Rugby 7's at the Commonwealth Games in '06 and he is fantastic to watch live.

So when i logged onto the Tigers website back when we signed him my mouth actually dropped.. I may have had to change my shorts as well.

Hopefully we can keep this winning form up!

Shattered we didn't get him. Quality player with strength, speed, flair and brilliant finishing ability. Even when he gets on he'll be dynamite because he has that build.

Great for the game to see him back.

So thrilled we finally broke our losing streak. 14 in a row is something i really didn't want stored in our record books. It was a sloppy win, but a win nonetheless.

Was glad for the Sharks they won. No lack of effort in their performances but just lacked any sort of skill. Keeping Parra to nil is a decent shift too.

Aye good win by the Sharkies.

How about that Blake Ferguson kid he is going to be something isnt he?

Good player Ferguson. They have players like Douglas and Snowden as well as Barrett and now Smith with Morris at dummy half. If they can fix their plays, they can definitely be a banana skin side.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a F***ing comeback Penrith! My man Mckendry was outstanding and my man crush Pritchard made a break to help win it at the end. F***ing chuffed!!
