NRL Rd 12 2025 - General Non-Warriors Thread

This is absolute trash, not bothering with any more of it

Have absolutely stuff all interest while Seibold is the coach and he picks Lodge, who looks like he has spent the past 8 months going through drive thrus 3 times a day.

If you've packed on a few there's nowhere to hide in a predominantly all white strip.

It brings back memories of club cricket!

What the f**k is up with consistency this year? Teams up and down every week.

Gould working his magic.
Manager getting his money.
Kid getting to his potential?

It was, he pulled his head up and down with his headgear, fingers in like a bowling ball

Does anyone think 1. Burton 6. Galvin 7.Sexton is better than 1. Tracey 6. Burton 7. Sexton/Woods?

Not so sure. Burton has literally never played FB at NRL level: https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/players/matt-burton/positions.html

I don’t see Burton moving from 6… but I’ve not been right about much lately

Ah I did wonder about that, if he’d played any fb.

Seems to have most of the tools needed, especially as a link player off shape.

Only unknowns are how he is under a highball and organising a defensive line. Would back him to figure it out though.

But he’s a better half than the other two who are inexperienced and unproven?

Great for intimidation value if you’ve got a fit team but not great if you’ve got a few tubbies in the side!

alas, me in my warriors retro strip is the latter….

Oh yea I agree.

I’m just saying I reckon he’s got the tools to be a pretty good fullback too if they tried it. Pretty rough for Tracey though.

With the Knights and Warriors how good is sport in Auckland atm…

I spoke too soon lol, even if they go out it’s been great

18-0, Newcastle! 12 mins gone in Bathurst.

An early sensation...I reckon it's goodbye to Penrith's finals hopes if they drop this one.

...24-0 now. What's not to love?
...24-6, Penrith with a sniff?...25-6, the Knights pull the field-goal trigger, smart play.

Five mins left...25-6, Knights. Final.

Tremendous crowd at Bathurst, as usual. They have a 12,000 capacity and always turn people away.

Just read that they choked it. Won’t lie and say I’m unhappy about that

And I heard it here first.

(But that's not your fault. I was on Sydney time and was warming up for a 7:30 start).

It's a round of thrashings, to the underdogs. Even tonight at Mt Smart.

I was going to say I hope the trend runs right to the end of the round, but have just recalled the Warriors were made favourites.

...and in Gosford the script continues, the Chooks race out to 8-0...now 14-0!

Mulitalo in the bin for a shoulder charge on Marky. 20-6... Halftime.
...Chooks first to score in the second stanza, Marky goes in, 26-6, half an hour left. The energy of the Roosters makes it a win from here...

Xavier Va'a scores with his second touch in first grade, 32-6, still 24 mins to go. Put fifty on them!

Tedesco nails the win after a bit of a Sharks comeback, 38-16.
...Dom Young goes in for one more!, 42-16, Roosters. Final.

lol well the Chiefs gave them a reality check
