Round 20 features grand final rematch between Storm and Panthers, both currently sitting 1st and 2nd on the ladder, Storm with an incredible winning streak. Channel 9 decides to televise *checks notes* 13th place cowboys vs 15th place broncos. Also sea eagles vs sharks. The biggest match up of the year couldn't make Channel 9's top 3 of the 8 games of the round.

Channel nine deserve the complete collapse of their ratings. Their coverage and decision making is awful.

I pointed out in round 11 we had the replays of both 2020 preliminary finals on the Saturday night. That week Ch9 chose to showcase Cowboys vs Knights and Sharks vs Dragons.

Should have been 6again there with Butcher flopping on Brown. I think the ref's have eased up on the speed of the game and ruck, since Origin. Probably a reason why our form has turned around a little.

Parramatta will be lucky to win another game this year. Maybe the Cowboys.

90% of the time referee won't allow a quick tap there as the roosters team-mate was arguably in line with Manu.

It's funny how we were using Eels as an example of a well functioning attack earlier in the year, how they use a good ballplaying fullback etc... now they lose Moses and are in a complete funk, look bottom 8 material. Rugby league is really a game of fine margins

They've also lost their toughness. There was a point where they were just forcing their way up the middle off strong performances and building games off that.
It's all sideways and over playing their hand now.

it's footy gods punishment for their "lay down" tactics.
BA thinks he's so clever coaching them to lay down and taking HIA's for freebie interchanges.

I think they'll bounce back, two games without your halfback is a very small sample size. They were never a genuine contender though, even at their best

Fair to say Dylan Brown hasn't stepped up as the primary half. He's got a way to go still.

They might not let foxsports cameras into the changerooms after this match..

Don't think Maguire wants footage in HD that could be used as evidence in a court room.
