THE SPOTLIGHT, IT BURNS! ZE GOGGLES DO NAR-ZING!
Spot on Rainier Wolfcastle, the goggles indeed do nothing to stop the bright, harsh, unwaveringly BRUTAL ray of TheSpotlight.
While Mary "the adjustment king" McGregor has temporarily escaped the powerful gaze of ITS, those pesky video refs confirmed (yet again) that they really don't know a whole lot about Rugby League.Which wouldn't be such a bad thing, except that they are actually making important, potentially season-making or season-breaking decisions in…you guessed it…games of Rugby League.
Anyway, I digress and we move on to round four.
Jonathon Thurston
JT.
Thursto.
Thursty Merc.
Whatever you want to call the bloke with the most infectious laugh in the game, the head-gear-sporting champion is officially in my sights. Now now, before some of you start claiming I have been victimising halfbacks, let's make it perfectly clear that I have been, I am, and will continue to do so.
Beau Scott might have crunched JT time and time again a fortnight ago, but he has been copping it since Jesus played fullback for Jerusalem (how they never won the comp, I will never know).The best halves in the comp get targeted all the time and when you've played 470 club games and 210 Origins like this bloke has, he should be expecting it and weathering the storm. Funnily enough, the Cowboys play the Melbourne Storm this weekend.
What a humourous/ominously-foreboding coincidence.
Paul Gallen
Now this fella is one committed, black-and-blue-to-the-bone Shark. It's just a pity that his team-mates have been playing more like freshly-frittered flake fragments. Cronulla are sitting in 14th spot on the ladder, with an outrageously underwhelming zero wins and three losses record. This is a side that should be doing better and big Gal is just the man to stop the rot. For a line-up widely predicted to sneak into the top eight, 2015 has been a season to forget so far.
No more Gallen-t defeats or Paul-l performances, time to show the NRL the Sharks mean business.
That'll do it for this week, catch ya round like a rissole.
