THE GOOD OIL

  ROUND 4 REVIEW

Rusty’s Roadkill 28 destroy Boganville Panfers 18

Wow…just wow!!! So the Panfers had not lost 3 in a row in about 6 years and the writing was on the wall from the get go as the Rabbitohs were relentless in attacking the Choccy Soldier’s line. Not only did they draw first blood, but they also scored a plethora of tries to take the scoreline to an incredible 28-squat before the Riff pulled their finger out of their clacker. They were never going to come back to win even though they did managed to bag three meat pies to save their pants. Is this the end of the era???

Meter Maids 30 pump Headless Chooks 12

After the Chookies managed to bounce back from their arse whooping in round 1 at the hands of the Broncos to down the Panfers, they have since managed to choke like the $2 hookers that they are by going down to the Wahs and now the Meter Maids. It looked like they might be bouncing back again after they scored first but the Titans crashed through to equalise. From then on, it was like Uncle Nick’s cheque suddenly bounced because everything they touched turned to crap. Yes, the Chooks took the lead 12-8, but after that it was a case of put down the glasses. A mistake-a-thon from the Rorters and an easy win for the Titans…

Mighty Broncos 20 crush Woolfie’s Washouts 12

The poor Phins were looking for their first win of the season and they did put the pressure on but the Broncos goal line defence was rock solid. Some awesome passing from the visitors saw Brisbane bag the first couple of tries and to be honest, they were never headed. Their 10-6 lead was threatened slightly but Staggs crashed over to take it out to 10 the difference. When Shishkebab bagged his double, it was all over bar the shouting. A late consolation made the scoreline a little more respectable for the Phins but they were never in the hunt…

Drag Queens 14 smash Dodgy Mexicans 8

The Dodgy Mexicans were flying high, already booking their Grand Final tickets after sitting on top of the ladder and travelling to Drag Queen territory to hand out another arse whooping. It looked like things were going to script as the visitors peppered the Dragons goal line but amazingly it was the Pink V who scored first. Papsmear got them back in front but some poor ball handling saw them bomb a few meat pies. Some craptacular goal line defence saw the Drag Queens score the winning try, something which would have pissed Bellyache off no end. Would not want to be at the Storm training session this week!!!

Brokeback Mountain Cowgirls 30 down Faiders 20

Faiders fans were still drunk after their shock win over the Broncos but that bubble was quickly busted. It was definitely not the Cowgirls of old as they managed to find gaps in the Faider defence. Still, they did manage to leak the first try and then bomb one of their own as the visitors stretched it out to 8-0!!! That seemed to kick the home side into action as they scored, equalised and then took the lead. Hell, they actually looked like a competent footy side there for awhile as they bounced out to 22-8. A comeback from the Has-Been Machine looked ominous but when Savage hogged the ball with a blatant case of white line fever, that was the death knell as the Cowgirls bagged another try to get the chocolates. How embarrassing…

Bullgrubs 20 embarrass Peptide Pals 6

I wasn’t surprised to see the Bullgrubs get the win here but I thought that the Sharkies might have at least put up a bit of a fight. Sure, the Puppies were 3 from 3 but surely??? Anyhoo, the Dogs crossed first and then managed to somehow keep the Sharkies out until Barney Marney managed to get himself on report for a high shot and let the home side take the lead. That was short lived as the Mutts hit the lead just before oranges. Well it was a case of stick a fork in the Sharkies because they are cooked!!! It was one way traffic, even after the Dogs managed to bomb one or two more meat pies. Well played Puppies!!!

Water Budgies 26 pound Trouser Snakes 12

What’s the matta Parramatta??? Talk about trying to lock up the Wooden Spoon early in the season!!! The Water Budgies absolutely tore them to pieces so much so that even Johnsy was giving them an absolute serve in the commentary box. Manly had 12 points on the board before the Eels started to make any sort of headway but Manly seemed to be able to diffuse any attacking play that was thrown at them. A couple of cheap penalties saw them out to a 14-0 lead when a Parra try made it 14-6, but it didn’t take long for the Budgies to increase the lead to 26-6. A late one for Parra made it a little better with their for/against, but a loss is a loss…

Sheep Shaggers 26 maul Kitty Kats 24

The Kitty Kats have been on fire this season and wanted to keep their streak alive against the Sheep Shaggers but unfortunately the visitors didn’t get the script. It was the Wahs who bagged the first try but some shoddy defence saw the Tigers square the ledger. The home side returned the favour with some arsepiss defence to give them the lead but it was tit for tat as the Kats squared things up at 18 all. At 24-18 I thought that the Tigers were going to be home and hosed but with 10 to go the Shaggers managed to make it 24 all. A penalty with 7 to go was all that the Shaggers needed to take the lead and hold on for the win…

ROUND 5 PREVIEW

Faiders vs Peptide Pals

The Nation’s capital is hosting the Sharkies as they make their way south and for some reason, they are the red hots in this clash. Yes, both sides have been hot and cold and are coming off losses, but the Sharks got smashed in their own backyard. At least the Faiders had to travel to Brownsville to get done in the stifling heat. At least that gave Sticky a semi-decent excuse I suppose. Even though the visitors are getting the tick of approval on Sportsbet, I am thinking that the home side might be able to pull off a bit of a surprise in a close one…

Boganville Panfers vs Brokeback Mountain Cowgirls

It is like the Panfers couldn’t win a chook raffle of late after they have lost their last 3 on the trot. This time though they host the Cowgirls who will leave the heat of Brownsville and make the trek to the foot of the mountains. With a serious lack of home town Hillbilly support, I think this will be an uphill battle for the visitors and I think it will be the Riff who bounce back to the winners circle. It might not be the cakewalk that everyone is expecting, but I think it will be relatively comfortable…

Rusty’s Roadkill vs Headless Chooks

This should be a close one as well as the Rabbits host the Rorters at Accor Stadium. One of those games where you wouldn’t be surprised (or really cared) who won but I am lead to believe that Latrine might be making an appearance in this clash. With that in mind, not that I am a Latrine fan by any measure, I think that the home ground advantage and the emotion of the return of their prodigal son will see the Rabbitohs get the chocolates in this one…

Trouser Snakes vs Drag Queens

Sweet Baby Jebus…who do I pick here??? On one hand you have the winless Eels who couldn’t buy a win this season, fronting up against the Pink V who I detest. My heart is saying let’s throw Parra a bone here and give them the kiss of death, but if the Eels don’t unf*ck themselves soon, they will go the entire season without a W to their name. I think this will be a bit of a hard fought battle but in the end, I will throw my hat behind the visitors as there is nothing in the Trouser Snake game that gives me any hope at all…

Pink V by 10

Meter Maids vs Woolfie’s Washouts

Another local derby for the two Queensland sides with the previous battle going the way of the big brother Brisbane!!! This time the two cousins fight it out and it is hard to go past the home side in this clash. The Meter Maids put the cleaners through the Chooks down in Sydney last weekend, which is really no big feat as we have come to know, so you would think that they would have the firepower to take out the Phins on their home soil. Still, the Dolphins did manage to claw their way back to within 10 of the Broncos and purely because they have one of my fave players in Herbie in their ranks, I am going to tip them for an upset…

Mighty Broncos vs Kitty Kats

The Kitty Kats are one of those sides that, if you don’t give them the respect they deserve, they can really pull your pants down. I think Vadge will have the boys fired up, especially as the Tigers are one of his old teams. I am looking for the Broncos to continue their winning way and be clinical. In a big blow for the visitors, they will be without the game’s number 1 flog in Jerome Luai, which could be a blessing in disguise for them I suppose. But even with Jerome leading the way, I still don’t think that the Tigers would have had what it takes to cause a boil over. I think Brisbane will do this one with relative ease…well they should…

Water Budgies vs Dodgy Mexicans

Bellyache will be opening up some serious cans of whoopass this week after that terrible performance against the Drag Queens on the weekend. Manly are enjoying their 2nd on the ladder but I think that is going to be short lived as I am tipping that Melbourne will come out on a mission. The visitors are down as the favourites and rightly so though I wouldn’t be too disappointed if Manly could give them a touch up!!! Not enough to keep the Broncos in 3rd place, but enough for them to get the points and for us to leapfrog them into second. But sorry Kath and Ken, I think it might be a bit of a disappointing weekend for you unfortunately…

Bullgrubs vs Novocastrations

Well Doggy fans are already licking their lips at the prospect of 5 straight wins. I don’t think I was alive when that last happened hahaha. This one should be the easiest of the weekends games to pick…well apart from the Broncos beating the Tigers that is. I will give credit where it is due and the Dogs have been playing some decent footy and deserve their perfect start to the season. It is just sad when you see their fans have their black hearts ripped out as the season goes on, but hey. That is footy. I think the Puppies will make it 5 from 5, especially as this one is being played at the Kennel…
