Battler's NRL Round 1

Titans coach John Cartwright named recruits Greg Bird and Joseph Tomane in his starting line-up, with former Sydney Roosters prop Riley Brown included on an extended bench.

 Since when was Riley Brown a prop?

BRISBANE BRONCOS v NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS at Suncorp Stadium, 7.35pm

BRONCOS: Corey Norman, Antonio Winterstein, Gerard Beale, Israel Folau, Denan Kemp, Darren Lockyer (capt), Peter Wallace, Nick Kenny, Andrew McCullough, Scott Anderson, Ben Te'o, Sam Thaiday, Corey Parker. Interchange: Alex Glenn, Matt Gillett, Josh McGuire, Mitchell Dodds.

COWBOYS: Ty Williams, John Williams, Ashley Graham, Willie Tonga, Michael Bani, Grant Rovelli, Johnathan Thurston (capt), Matthew Scott, Aaron Payne, Antonio Kaufusi, Scott Bolton, Steve Southern, Luke ODonnell. Interchange: Anthony Watts, Steve Rapira, Willie Mason, Manase Manuokafoa, Carl Webb, James Tamou. (Two to be omitted)

Referees: Jared Maxwell, Gerard Sutton

How things change. These two are now the 2nd and 3rd best Qld teams. I know paper is only paper, but they look weaker squads than ever. Brisbane must have paid heaps for Folau...

Knights up 12.5%

 Penrith

 Lowest membership in the league

 Westies too busy putting money through the pokies to buy a membership

Well, thank goodness for that.

Yes, the NRL starts Friday, can't wait. hopefully I can find some good streaming over here in Canada again!
