NRL Rd 18 2025 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

Penrose, I put this in last week's thread but you might've missed it:

'PW, good luck in Melbourne, or should I say AFL nut country! Your safe space is AAMI Park, at least you'll have that.

I should warn you that I've heard Collingwood are fancying themselves this year. I've also heard there's nothing more insufferable than that. Cheers!'

'He's flying, Ezra!'

Better that than driving.

Feel dirty supporting the Dogs tonight, had been kicking Broncos all week but changed my mind when entering the tips so hate getting those ones wrong

FFS, don’t change your mind dickhead

 

[Big Marn]

how many games of 2 halves has that been this year? 9 or 10?

Yea man. Two for the Dogs alone as well, but this time they were on the other side of it.

And after being 9-2 pre-Galvin, they’re now 2-2 since. Any more of that and people will start drawing conclusions.

Has gone under the radar how awful Galvins pass is

 

[Izz]

Broncos heating up. Hopefully they fizzle soon lol

Though it does make me happy to see the Dogs losing.

Yeah. It's SG ball-esque

It's the worst feeling. Pub trivia is just as bad. To rub it in the Broncos celebrated like they'd won the grand final.

I heard one of the commentators - Johns I think, or they quoted Johns - say he can only 'pass one way'.

Mahoney to the Cows. The Galvin effect in full swing.

Cheers brother, I did miss that and it is bloody appreciated.

I drove past AAMI yesterday and was hoping to boo them, but then realized they'll be in NQ.

Can I dream of a 1v4 Warriors final week one there? I attended the last Warriors win in Melbourne, 2014 master class by SJ

Reed Mahoney off to the Cowboys next season

Hope Sloan isn’t lost to the NRL, not the perfect player but so entertaining to watch with the ball in hand

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Surely passing both ways is requisite of being an NRL grade half.

I think Galvin is massively, massively overrated. I get it, he's 19, but for Gould to say he's the most talented teen he's ever seen is so incredibly laughable.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Is that the Galvin effect? I thought it was more to do with some sort of Moneyball move to play Hayward there and free up cash elsewhere

 

[Beavers Headgear]

I won’t be surprised if Galvin long term is viewed as a 13, the drums have been beating for years about this Mitchell Woods kid as a superstar 7

he might be good in the nfl where he doesnt have to play on defence

No doubt he'll fill out but at the moment hes a fair few dead lifts off that.

CHT will end up a 13, I have no doubt

28-24, Raiders. Final. Our tipping is safe! It sounds like St George did alright though.

26-18, Storm. Seven mins left up in Townsville. But it could've been a boil over, the Cows have been good, up to a point...

Interesting, NQ take the two, 26-20, two mins left... Bellamy is biting his nails off!

...but Drinkwater kicks it dead. Muppet Show stuff. Game over.

Ricky has gone for the media tonight over their treatment of Flanagan, good on him. What an absolutely ridiculous take from the journo about when he was taking the kick

‘It’s a disgrace’: Ricky launches tirade at media over ‘awful’ Kyle Flanagan treatment
