Round Penultimate Zero: SHOCK ALLEGATIONS AND EXPLOSIVE REVELATIONS

Our heroes reunite for a fearless and graceful series of pirouettes through an array of Winter ending sporting shenanigans.

The NRL's penultimate round has penultimately proven that the NRL actual top 4, which is actually a top 3, is penultimately better than anything below it- especially the Raiders and Penultimate-rith. The Broncos and Cowboys submitted the final evidence required for such a conclusion in their match, that was played in the.... what's the word again for the second last of something? Anyway, it was the defence of two teams worthy of second last, and last. The fact one of them is 4th is a stirringly head scratching statistic.

Dominos are falling everywhere in the NRL, and it’s not just in the coaching ranks. Josh Hannay is a domino superglued to the Lino, and his quest a the Titans is dissected on a logistical, physical and emotional level by our two totally unbiased toward Hannay tyros. 
Explosive reporting around the NRL from the News Corp extended family is both shocking and frequently chicken little'ish. Pulling up sore at training is not the equivalent of a suddenly fallen sky. But let’s print it that way anyway and keep the lot of us on our toes. 

Dastardly allegations also threaten the Perth Bears pre-birth good ju ju- not necessarily their own doing. The devils are inside the walls, those walls in this case being a demountable at Gold Coast titans HQ. 

Elsewhere, commentators are talking up the rise of Los Pumas, who everyone already knows have been good for years. Or doesn’t throwing 60 on the wallabies count as good anymore? Speaking of the wallabies.. anyone up for a test? They’re a bit light on numbers, as current and future coaches mull the opinions of many outside the sanctum, which are basically ‘PUT SUALI’I IN THE 15.’

Life as always remains a grapple. Dig away at will.
