NRL Round 5 Review - How to fix the Short Dropout!

AJ and Rhys are back once again to review a chaotic Round 5 of the NRL season. We had everything from crackdowns appearing to come and go, some great football, some indifferent football and some great laughs to be had along the way. AJ also has come up with a way to fix the short dropout!

We analyse Canberra's great escape over the Sharks as we criticise how the Sharks are playing at the moment. What is Penrith's big problem at the moment as the Cowboys find their stride.

We take a trip to Sydney Olympic Park as Souths with one fresh player beat the Roosters, leading AJ to declare the Chad Townsend experiment to be sent to the scrap heap and NEVER EVER return.

Parramatta getting win number one of the year as Dylan Brown finds his stride. Rhys questions if the Ilias and Flanagan halves combination is the right one for the Red V as Clint Gutherson shows his stride. AJ delivers a classic Ryan Matterson yarn from the NSW Cup.

The Titans continue their inconsistency, but we have praise for the Brimson/Campbell halves combination. The Dolphins also get off their duck as their forwards deliver a big win as Katoa and Nikorima continue their dominance. Brisbane show their class in a great way over the Tigers despite a shaky first half. Tigers just missing some experience out there in this one.

Melbourne have a great opening hour, but the last twenty they turned off as the stars got an early mark. Manly did go with them early but when Melbourne get going, good luck and amen ladies and gents. Canterbury tough out a terrific win at home. Newcastle were struggling for numbers (down to 14 in the second half).

We also return our segment Yes they are still PLAYING! as well as our LOLCOW OF THE WEEK!
