The 'What Will Change in the NRL in 2018?' Thread

[84 Baby]

Rule changes, major player movements, coach changes, sex changes, just whatever you think will change next season.

I predict more shit kicks used as attacking options. Gone (mostly) will be the Israel Folau/Daniel Tupou jumping over there opponents for bomb days, next year there'll be shitty dink kicks that just fall short of the wingers, chips to pretty much in no mans land and a bolder prediction chip kicks at the posts/crossbar. We've already seen a lot of these style kicks in the finals series alone, next season I reckon they'll be more prevalent

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I predict the NRL will announce a crackdown on something, maybe the play the ball, and a month or so later that will be pretty much forgotten about and it will be business as usual. Oh hang on...

 

[strider]

I predict a major investigation into something ... drugs, betting, etc .... and nothing will ever happen ... oh hang on

 

[Delboy]

Greenberg will announce an investigation into the. conduct of player managers in an effort to stamp out illegal TPAs and payments, oh hang on

They have stamped all over one club with the promise to launch further investigations , oh hang on

 

[TheParraboy]

there will be an exciting announcement...

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

What I am hoping for, though not necessarily expecting, is more short dropouts and maybe even belting the ball at the sideline from the kickoff. With a high tee you could make it very difficult to stop.

Nothing will f**ken change!

Nothing ever f**ken changes!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Not true. I changed my underpants last week.

 

[Gary Gutful]

But let's be honest, you won't change them again in 2018.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Not deliberately perhaps but there's a very good chance they'll rot and fall off. That's a change.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Good point. Technically that's a change.

 

[84 Baby]

Yeah f**k it. I'm off to hibernate. See you guys when there's refereeing to whinge about

 

[Twizzle]

The NRL needs to crackdown on Greenburg

We can thanks News limited for the greasy politician.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I predict Parra will forfeit their half time break and continue to do laps of the field until the opposition returns thus negating the 15 to 20 minutes of rubbish footy post half time. I reckon it could work.

 

[Bazal]

I predict that no matter what changes, El Diablo and Delboy will believe it's a conspiracy against Parramatta. Even if we are the sole beneficiaries of whatever said change might be.

You realise we won 13 of 15 games we lead at half time

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

You realise we won 13 of 15 games we lead at half time

The way I remember it we won a hell of a lot more than that.

 

[hineyrulz]

Yeah it was at least 19 from 15.

past performance is not an indicator of future performance
