Reakon the Warriors and Broncos might get up this week.

Even though they knocked the Raiders out of the finals, I'm getting on board the Warriors bandwagon.

Just hope the 'good' Warriors rock up from here on in...

Betting in turmoil over Broncos players

As you would imagine, this is getting plenty of attention up here.

Players have been named and now the Police Minister (Judy Spence) was on the news acting as chief cheer-leader for everyone to get out and support the Broncos
As the investigation will apparently take several weeks, all players involved will be available to play.

Can't understand why it would take so long, unless it takes that long to interview witnesses, possible DNA tests, etc

the Toyota cup looks like a good game

[magpie in the 80's]

Welcome to the 2nd Final between the Melbourne Storm v Brisbane Broncos here at a sold out Suncorp Stadium.

Light rain has been falling with the odd thunder and lightning in the background.

Fantastic toyota cup game which was decided in the last few seconds with a field goal to the dragons to defeat the Paramatta Eels 23 to 22

Where away here in Brisbane with the winner to take on Cronulla and the loser ...well its mothballs for season 2008

Brisbane Broncos 6 v Melbourne Storm 0 at 17M

Storm move the ball down the field well. Last play of the ball sees Smith grubs ball along the ground. Billy Slater runs in between 2 Broncos picks the ball up and as he crosses the line he gets tackled as he is putting the ball down. Try or no try????
Up to the video ref we go................ "NO TRY" Slater loses the ball
Broncos still lead 6 - 0

Light rain still falling is affecting the handling of the ball*
