Each week seems to bring a couple of random losses in each competition by teams that should be winning.
Seems like Easts might finally have gotten serious in the NRL, and this week’s game against Canberra should provide some insight into where both teams are really at.
In the AFL Brisbane could use a win that would boost their percentage. I think second and third, and maybe even first, will be decided on percentage. If they lost that would be moot.
