Rd 16 2017 - NRL General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

How do you pick a match of the round when there's so many mouth-watering contests right across the board? Starting with Tigers v Titans, two of the gutsiest teams this year.

I think the Panthers have just been flukey over the last month, with second-half wins over the Warriors, Knights and Raiders. If they can beat the Cowboys up there, with or without Thurston, then they might change my mind.

Desperate Raiders against Broncos, the real-deal Roosters against Storm, and a potential GF preview: Sharks v Sea Eagles. Wow, what's Origin again?

Gonna be a painful 10-15 years hearing from his old man ! Gutted with the move the Bulls made today, might have to hop on the 76ers bandwagon although I don't think they'll gel straight away.

Hopefully Webster might get picked up late in the 2nd round and we get another kiwi into the league

Back to the footy, hoping we get a dry track on Sunday to watch Manly and the Sharks go at it, forward battle should be awesome. Storm resting all their key men should be a comfortable Roosters win. Have tipped the Titans, with a bit of extra confidence now Tedesco is out, although he hasn't done much for the Tigers this season anyway

i hope webster gets picked to

totally over lavar ball and him saying he could beat MJ. butler wow

Thurston gone for the season

The prince of all fairy tales has finally come up short, but only because of a dodgy shoulder.

The Maroons should be able to 'do it for JT', not sure about the Cows though.

Be interesting to see whether TMM gets a game against the Panthers. It could be the making of this kid having Thurston mentor him. Good for the Kiwis down the track.

Cowboys win on the bell, Penrith unlucky, on Wednesday night they saw NFL style blocking on chasers being no drama, and then they get pinged today for 1 nowhere near as bad

Sadly, I'm starting to look at other results and seeing how they help the Warriors. The Raiders and Panthers losing was good, the Roosters pipping the Storm bad, but we really need the Knights to beat the Dragons. That would be doing us a big favour.

The teams outside the eight can't all be fighting for just eighth place.

Manly shocking the Sharks 18-0, but the Sharks thrive on these situations.

When did commentators start yelling so much? This guy on Channel Nine is having a hernia.

Did Webster get drafted. Cant find anything

Nope he didn't go, but was picked up by Charlotte the next day to play summer league for them. Think Corey is over there for summer league too

Didn't see that coming !! Best thing about us is that we don't have a style, just hard running, offloads and playing what is in front of them and a lot of defences struggling with it

Taupau is a beast, 3rd straight game over 200m and he isn't happy with his form

Matt Wright's a good player, goes under the radar in the media but scores tries, kicks goals and makes his tackles.

Unfortunately, Manly's form may mean Daly steps up for Qld.

Yeah solid as a rock which is just what we need out there

Last Thursday night Kevin Walters had Mybe ahead of DCE so hoping he still has those thoughts !! Although if he is in the frame would guess he will be fired up for a big one this weekend

Daryl Eastlake...

Big Daryl ramped up the octaves but, from memory, he wasn't shouting (or screaming) as the commentator was yesterday.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Really impressed by Manly this week. Not good for us, especially with our Perth track record.

And I know they lost, but the Baby Stormers should hold their heads high, seems like they will still be a force to be reckoned with after the big 3. Bellamy is a god.

Coreys playing summer league with the Mavs. Hope both Websters shit allover Lonzo lol
