THE GOOD OIL
ROUND 3 REVIEW
Bullgrubs 14 pump Faiders 10
What the hell is going on in Canberra??? The Has Been Machine looked the goods when they crossed for the first try but it didn’t take much time for the Grubs to answer. Canberra proceeded to muscle up and delivered some crunching tackles but unfortunately for them, the stupid rules say that you can’t shoulder charge opposition players or hit them in the head!!! Not doing themselves any favours by giving away stupid penalties and bombing tries, the Doggies scooted to an 8-6 lead before sinking the boot in to make it 14-6. The Faiders pegged one back and looked like they had the Puppies on the rack but time ran out and Sticky was left reaching for his book of excuses…
Boganville Panfers 40 pip Headless Chooks 4
Holy shitsnacks. I tipped the Panfers for a win but didn’t pick this result. It looked like the Chookies were here to play after they nailed the first meat pie but it was all over red rover after that as they put the cue back in the rack. Tobasco Sauce threatened to blow the game wide open but he was not supported by the rest of the latte’ sipping rabble. For mine, the highlight of the game was definitely Brian To’o’o’os grubber, regather, regrubber, regather and then try!!! Obviously that is what I would have done if I was playing J. But hate them or hate them, you have to take your hat off to the Panfers…they are looking the goods at the moment...but too bad they won’t be in the GF though…
Mighty Broncos 18 destroy Dodgy Mexicans 14
A foregone conclusion this one…ok, maybe I had a pucker factor of 8 at the end of the first half. I was dead-set choking on my own rage as my beloved Broncos looked pedestrian to say the least. After still receiving therapy after the embarrassment of losing to the Eels, I thought we might be on the end of our third straight loss as the Storm went 14-0 up after 40 mins. Queue the Comeback Kings!!! Now I am not sure what Madge did to the lads at half time but whatever he did he needs to bottle it (because I need some of that inspiration to get me through a whole work day). It was like a switch was flicked as Brisbane kicked into gear to claw back a try, then another and then another. Not even Melbourne’s little champion fullback Souvlaki couldn’t save their arse…
Sheep Shaggers 38 spank Novocastrations 12
Geez I know that the Knights suck monkey balls (sorry Rhett) but I wasn’t predicting this one. When the Novocastrations scored first (which seemed to be a trend this round), I thought it might be a long day in the office for the visiting Shaggers but apparently not. They then went on a rampage, attacking the Knight’s line time and time again. When their hippy number 1 was sent to the bin after repeated warnings, probably for not getting a haircut, that just signalled the opening of the floodgates. It was 30-6 before the home side posted their second try but it wasn’t over for the visitors as they rubbed salt into the wound by nailing one more for good luck…
Woolfie’s Washouts 38 embarrass Peptide Pals 10
Another upset which I never saw coming. I thought that the Sharks at home would be too big and too strong for the visiting Dolphins and in this game it was the underdogs who scored first. When Cronulla hit straight back I figured that the Phins capitulation was imminent but apparently not. Some razzle dazzle saw Redcliffe take the lead and then some arsepiss defence saw them go further in front. The Sharkies bounced back to make things interesting at 16-10 but some dumb penalties coupled with some wafer thin defence had the visitors home and hosed as they put the blowtorch to the belly…
Rusty’s Roadkill 20 down Kitty Kats 16
Finally we had a home side get a win!!! The Bunnies drew first and second blood as they carved thee hapless Tigers up, scoring two tries before the Kitty Kats knew what hit them. The visitors never gave up though and they clawed their way back with a try of their own and then took the lead when my old fave Latrine gave away an easy penalty which resulted in an 8 point try to the Tigers. Unfortunately for the lads in orange and black, they bombed a number of chances and then gave Souths some cheap ball which saw them take back the lead and hold it until the final siren…
Trouser Snakes 30 crush Drag Queens 20
If you look up ‘frustrating game’ I am sure that there would be a link to this game because God it was hard to watch. It was a dead set mistake-a-thon coupled with some pretty ordinary refereeing and Flunker calls. That said, the Drag Queens looked the goods as they bounced away to a 14-6 lead but the Eels hit back before oranges and took an 18-14 lead. They kept the momentum going after the break. The Pink V gave their fans a sniff when they got to within 4 but one of the game’s biggest flogs, aka The Fox, streaked away and sealed the deal for the home side. Grab those GF tickets Parra fans…I will buy them off you for half price in September…
Brokeback Mountain Cowgirls 30 flog Meter Maids 16
The Cowgirls came out firing and took an early lead before some vintage Cowgirl defence saw the Meter Maids level up. A snappy intercept gave the visitors the lead but then some absolutely deplorable defence saw the Cows head out to a 22-10 lead at the break. The Titans fans had a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel when they scored early but that light just happened to be an oncoming train as the Cowgirls gave their sister-lovin fans something to cheer about when they bagged two more meat pies…
ROUND 4 PREVIEW
Water Budgies vs Headless Chooks
This should be a cracker of a game and to be honest, I am not real sure who to back in this one. The Rorters are the faves even though they have been molested by the Sheep Shaggers and the Riff so far this season. Manly haven’t been exactly setting the world on fire so I think they might be a shot at an upset. The focus will be on how Cherry Boy is received back in his old stomping ground. I feel very confident that the Manly fans will be giving it to him when he runs out. But that aside, let’s increase our Sportsbet odds and go for the underdog…

Sheep Shaggers vs Kitty Kats
Choice!!! The Cuzzy Bros have been on fire of late and are sitting pretty on top of the NRL ladder!!! 3 from 3 and unfortunately for the hapless Tigers, I can see this being 4 from 4. Now I have no doubt that our long suffering Warriors fan Steve has already been trying to book his GF tickets as I think this is going to be the best start the Shaggers have had in years!!! Of course the rest of us know what is going to happen and the heartache which is no doubt heading Steve’s way, but let’s humour him for awhile. Sorry Kitty Kats, but if you are not careful, this could turn into a cricket score…

Mighty Broncos vs Woolfie’s Washouts
Dubbed the Battle of Brisbane, this will be another interesting game. Obviously the lead up has been less than ideal for the Broncos with all of their media exposure and defensive coach Ben Teo handing in his resignation, but in all honestly there is no reason why my boys can’t go to town on the Phins (sorry Michelle). This is one of those games where, if Brisbane don’t show the Dolphins the respect they deserve, they can turn around and pull the Bronco’s pants down. The Broncs flexed their muscle last week…let’s see if they can go back to back…

Bullgrubs vs Novocastrations
Good ol Canterbury travelled to Canberra and staged a bit of an ambush, upsetting Sticky and his troops by sneaking away with a win. This week they host the Novocastrations who are hoping to bounce back from a hiding at the hands of the Shaggers. This is going to be a long day at the office for the visiting Knights and I think that the Bullgrubs will make short work of them. Apologies to Big Rhett, but I don’t think that Joey has enough of the good stuff to get your boys over the line…
Doggies by 18
Boganville Panfers vs Trouser Snakes
The Eels are 2 from 3 and are trying to be the giant killers after they took on and beat an out-of-sorts Broncos side two weeks ago. Last round they despatched the Dragons but that is nothing to write home about. Unfortunately for Parra fans their team is facing a Riff side who is brimming with confidence and looking to make a statement. They are also sitting undefeated with the Shaggers and I think they will remain that way after this game. I will be interested to see how this one pans out as it will be a good measure for the Eels…
Panfers by 26
Brokeback Mountain Cowgirls vs Dodgy Mexicans
Two of the teams which I dislike and two of the teams who I love to see lose. The Cowgirls took out the Meter Maids last week whereas the Storm are still hurting after being destroyed by the Broncos in their own backyard. I said on Saturday that I would hate to be a Storm player this week because Bellyache will be absolutely filthy to have his side choke like $2 hookers AGAIN!!! The Cowgirls will be looking for the upset but something tells me that aint happening…
Storm by 16
Faiders vs Peptide Pals
Hmmm…it was a shock to see the Doggies travel to Canberra and skulk away with a win but it was an even bigger shock to see the Dolphins but the Sharkies to the sword in the Shire!!! Both coaches will be livid and I honestly thing this one could go either way. I am only going to give the Has-Been Machine my kiss of death purely because they are at home and their deluded fans will have caught the clap. This will be a close one but the Faiders should get the chocolates…just…

Meter Maids vs Drag Queens
Sweet baby Jebus…the big question here is who is the most craptacular out of these two craptacular teams??? The Titans have a few strike players in their ranks and so do the Drag Queens, but this is another one of those games which will go down to the wire. I do love to watch the Dragoons capitulate so I think this will be a great way to end the weekend. My money is on the Titans with the home ground advantage…
