Sport observations & various musings. Chasing something close to even par🏌️‍♂️

@GurugardenerNz Take the better than evens now for Queensland. Same script as Game 2 last year isn’t it?

@1WeakGuttedDog How much did the books get out of paying with McLean going off. Have to be close to 7 figures.

[Daniel @735Doon]

@1WeakGuttedDog GL bro!

@GurugardenerNz This is what made me laugh about the bunker being held as the 1 source of truth in state of origin for the KP send-off - they can’t even get this correct on something that simple with the benefit of technology, who says they know what they are doing with that KP shoulder charge?

@joedavola76 @ReadingThePlay He knows where his wage is coming from, like all the trained animals in the circus when it comes to mainstream media NRL and Sydney racing.

[Daniel @735Doon]

@GurugardenerNz I see what you mean about the 1st half winner markets.

Just jumped on to see the price for NQ after Canberra just scored to go 14-0 up, market was there but was suspended, then vanished by the time the conversion was taken.

@a_eugol There aren’t many things more useless than a Rugby League touch judge is there.

[Daniel @735Doon]

@AdamSmith196417 Oh I have no doubt that’s what will happen as you’ve mentioned, and Daley will be wondering where it all went wrong.

[Daniel @735Doon]

Big decisions…..

What the hell is this all about from Gus Gould. “I want you to keep your job”. What a dick. What’s the point of having him still on the TV. Get rid. #Origin

Here comes Engineer Klein with the square up

@ReadingThePlay Have had a handy draw when you look at who’s currently in the 8. Half their remaining games are vs teams in the top 8, but with three byes remaining might only need 5 wins from 12 games to make the 8.

[The League Scene @LeagueScenePod]

Bulldogs GM Phil Gould has confirmed that he never had any intention for Lachlan Galvin to be the long-term halfback at the club.

He did say however, that the teenage prodigy is the best halfback we've got and has been since he arrived at Belmore midway through 2025.

@MikeMeehallWood No problem! Can you imagine off the back of NRL essentially paying for Ch.9 to get RU rights, the Wallabies then went on a huge run of success ala late-90s-early 2000s?? I’m not critical of PVL’s decision given the situation, but he’s lucky that aspect hasn’t blown up in his face

[Daniel @735Doon]

Outstanding read.

Mike delivers a clear & concise message on the state of the current game, but more pointedly, how below the surface there’s serious issues with the actions of the current administrators of the game that will come home to roost at some point in the near future.

[Mike Meehall Wood @MikeMeehallWood]

The NRL announced record ratings again - but how many tune in, then switch off?

They don't talk about that. You can bet the broadcasters will.

It's ultra-processed rugby league - and everyone knows that's bad for you.

If Laurie announcing Casey McGuire on the Blues bench doesn’t tell you all you need to know about how this series will go, nothing will.

@cdwinters91 Yeah they did, and the team confidence and chemistry at that point is probably as high as it ever was until media speculation on Galvin’s signing started.

[Daniel @735Doon]

@cdwinters91 I’m thinking we’ve been under mass hypnosis and they were never that good to begin with and leaned heavily on their defence, and as soon as that has given out we’ve seen what’s really underneath?

[Daniel @735Doon]

@cdwinters91 At the time of Galvins signing last yr they were 9-2, and had played 4 teams in the top 8:

14 pt win v Sharks
24 pt loss v Brisbane
That comeback v Canberra
4pt win v Easts

Had 5 wins from beating up on the eventual bottom 4. Other loss was 36pt @ home to Dolphins.
