THE GOOD OIL

                  ROUND 25 REVIEW

Rusty’s Roadkill 40 destroy Drag Queens zip

Holy shitsnacks!!! I tipped the Rabbitohs for a win but I don’t think anyone was expecting a capitulation of this magnitude!!! Maybe Smith got some of the good stuff for the lads before the game??? Still, this was all pretty level pegging for the first 20 minutes but then it was all over red rover. The Pink V were getting carved up at will in what was a very long night at the office. I will say one thing, Ward and Gray are sensational finds for the Bunnies. Those blokes would look great in a Broncos jersey…just saying…

Faiders 20 down Boganville Panfers 16

This game will be talked about for years as having one of the most unbelievable endings in Rugby League history. Now I thought that the Choccy Soldiers would do this relatively easy as I honestly believe that the Faiders are punching above their weight. Maybe I will have to rethink things because even though the Riff scored first and got to a 16-6 lead, the Faiders stuck with them and forced the game to Golden Point. At 16 all in extra time, ol Roger Ramjet went to slot the field goal for the win, something he has done countless times before, when the ball came off the post and bounced in the field of play. From there, the Faiders…

Dodgy Mexicans 20 neuter Bullgrubs 14

This was a game that the Storm were always going to win but I thought that Melbourne would be way more dominant than what they were. Things were going to script when the Storm jumped out to a 12-0 lead but when the Dogs scored and Harry Grant got sent to the bin, that opened the door for the Puppies to try and come back. Unfortunately for the visitors, they did not capitalise straight away and the Mexicans crossed again to make it 18-6. This would prove to be a bridge too far, especially after the Storm got a penalty to make it 20-6. A brave fight back from the Grubs ensued but it was not enough…and it doesn’t help your cause when you bomb a few tries as well… 

Water Budgies 58 crush Woolfie’s Washouts 30

Obviously the defensive coaches for both sides were on holidays last week because there was NONE of that tackling shit going on in this game. This was a milestone game for DCE as it was his 350th, but things didn’t start that well for Manly as the Phins scored first and then tool a 12-6 lead. Hell, at half time it was 22-12 to the Budgies so in reality, it was anybody’s game but it was a cake walk in the second stanza as Manly went to town. It was 58-18 before the Phins bagged two consolation meat pies…

Sheep Shaggers 32 pip Meter Maids 18

Maybe it was the bong water, maybe I had a touch of the sun, but whatever it was I for some reason decided to tip the Meter Maids for an upset. It was looking good when Tino crashed over to score but my joy was short lived as the Shaggers decided to play some footy and score a treble of tries to take an 18-6 lead. A missed try by the Titans didn’t help their cause and when the Warriors took it out to 32-6 it was goodnight the fox… 

Trouser Snakes 30 flog Headless Chooks 10

Uncle Nick would not have been happy with this score but you have to wonder, was this caused by the shitstorm that was about to hit the papers??? We will never know. Still, Eels fans will be sitting there, scratching their nads thinking “Where the hell has this been all year?”. And that is a fair question. Parra bounced out to a 10-shit lead before Teddy put the Rorters on the board. In reality, this was all the Blue and Gold but in what was the most embarrassing thing for the Cocks was the fact that they let Addo Carr in for a double…

Mighty Broncos 46 destroy Novocastrations 12

This is one of those games where normally you would think the Broncos should win, but they end up choking like a $2 hooker. Thankfully for me my lads were in a bit of a mood and they managed to flex their muscle and give the Novocastrations a good, old fashioned gut kicking. It was 14-0 to the visitors before the Knights scored and it was 20-6 before they got their second. It was all for nothing as the Broncos repelled every Knights attacking raid and then went on the rampage themselves. What was most refreshing was the performance of Reece Lightning!!! I don’t want to pre-empt things but it definitely looked like Wash has finally got his head right. What is even better is that Ben Hunt won in his milestone match and I picked up another $240…

Brokeback Mountain Cowgirls 34 whoop Kitty Kats 28

Well I definitely didn’t see this one. The Cowgirls travelled down to NSW but it was the visitors who came to play as Nanai scored for the Cowgirls and they were 10 points up before the Tigers bounced back. Dearden was inspirational in his attack and defence but a counter attack from the Tigers saw them take the lead going into the break. Leading 16-10 I thought the Kitty Kats were going to walk away but it was the Cowgirls who levelled things again. The Tiges kicked away for a 28-16 lead and they put the cue back in the rack which was a big mistake. Not only did they let the Cowgirls back into the game, but they gave them the win as well. Bloody ordinary Tigers. Hang your heads in shame…

ROUND 26 PREVIEW

Bullgrubs vs Boganville Panfers

Originally I was going to tip the Riff but then I saw that they were resting 16 players for this match. Queue the uproar from some of the fans and although I can see both sides of the argument, what is more important??? Yes, the fans pay to see their heroes out on the ground and the Choccy Soldier fans will be missing out this week, but is it ok if it gives them a better chance of winning Premiership number 5 in a row??? I would actually like to see Penrith score a bit of an upset but Sportsbet don’t have them at $8 outsiders for nothing. The Grubs should wipe them off the park…

Sheep Shaggers vs Trouser Snakes

Parramatta fans are still meth-affected after their upset win over the Rorters last weekend but I am expecting them to come crashing back to earth when they travel across the dutch to get their arse handed to them by the Shaggers. You can’t say that the Warriors have ben in scintillating form this year and they definitely do NOT deserve to win the Premiership, but they will win this one with relative ease. I expect the Eels to come out firing and to try and cause an ambush, but with talent to burn, I think that it will be the home side who comes away with the chocolates. I am backing DWZ to score a brace in this outing…

Warriors by 16

Dodgy Mexicans vs Headless Chooks

The Storm are rightly favourites to win the lot this year and they will be moving heaven and earth to ensure that they keep their momentum going as they round the final straight. The Chooks were ordinary last week as they let the Eels run riot over them and I think it will be a case of déjà vu for Uncle Nick and his boys. And it is not only the shit on the field that is getting into their heads, but it is the pending police investigation which has already snared ex-Chook Brandon Smith and current player Victor Radley. There is too many distractions for them to remain focussed and for that reason, I think this will be an easy win for the home side… 

Storm by 18

Faiders vs Kitty Kats

The Kitty Kats had their game against the Cowgirls in the bag last week but they somehow found a way to not only lose, but lose convincingly. If they bring that level of skill to this party then the Faiders are going to have a field day. Sticky and his boys are at home which is never an enviable task to a normal footy team, but to a shit team like the Tigers that thought would send chills down your spine…if you had one that is. I think this will be a big win for the Has Been Machine and will give them their first Minor Premiership in God knows how long. Sorry Tiger’s fans…time to board that plane to Bali…

Raiders by 28

Drag Queens vs Water Budgies

Both of these sides have been pretty ordinary all year and that would be the reason that both team is paying $1.90 for the win at the time of writing. Last week Manly was white hot in attack but arsepiss in defence whereas the Drag Queens were deplorable in both departments. There is nothing in the Drag Queen’s game that would have me thinking that an upset might be on the cards, but in saying that, I would not be surprised if Manly folded like a deck of cards and got their collective arses handed to them. It is simply one of those games!!! I am not even going to let the home ground advantage sway me this week…

Manly by 8

Brokeback Mountain Cowgirls vs Mighty Broncos

These two teams really know how to entertain their fans and both the Cowgirls and Broncos have staged some of the best Rugby League games the sport has even seen. Like last week against the Knights, this is one of those game that everyone would expect Brisbane to win in a canter and I am sticking to that, though if the Cowgirls managed to pull off an upset, it wouldn’t be the biggest shock in the world. Quite simply, most teams step up a gear when they play Brisbane because they have to. The Broncos need to head up to Brownsville and they need to be on. If they go up there expecting an easy win, they will get their pants pulled down, and nobody wants that when they are standing in front of a redneck, sister-rootin crowd…

Broncos by 22

Peptide Pals vs Novocastrations

The Knights are certainly cooked this year as they sack their coach and invite Josh Hannay into the coaching fold. That is not the ideal preparation for a team and I think the off field bullshit is going to really affect the visitors in this one. The Sharks are not the team they once were but they will have more than enough fire power to blow the Novocastrations off the park. I will be kicking the Knights home for an upset win, but it aint gonna happen as long as my arse is pointing South…

Sharks by 26

Woolfie’s Washouts vs Meter Maids

One of the Queensland local derbies and as much as I would love to see this game go down to the wire, you would have to be doing blow off a stripper’s arse to throw your hard earned on the Meter Maids. Can they cause an upset??? Of course they could. Would you be surprised if they did??? Of course I would. Are you putting your dollars on the Titans in this clash??? Are you high??? I can’t see the Meter Maids getting close in this match and I will be backing the Dolphins for a comfortable win against their retarded cousins…
