2025 R19 Sat - Newcastle 14-32 Melbourne @ McDonald Jones

Also Cogger and Hastings are the worst half combo in the NRL and would both be in the bottom 4 halves individually too.

Them vs. Hughes/Grant was obviously the difference today. They’re so far on a different level it’s not funny. It’s talked like Hastings not being picked before was some kind of conspiracy, but he’s just not good.

At least it’s one game closer to the end of this awful and injury ravaged season and Dom Young is becoming a good player again away from the chooks.

Errr, Sullivan and Dodd would like to buy you a beer.

Wanna trade? I would. Hastings in on 800k, lol.

To replace Dodd on 650-750k? Would actually be a marginal improvement but I think both our clubs need to solve that issue better i.e. ship them both off to the UK, lick your wounds, absorb the loss and make MUCH better decisions moving forward.

We've already picked up Jonah Glover from the Dragons Cup side who has wraps on him. You've got Brown on a billion who's a 5/8 coming to play 7. okaaaayyyy...

Need to invest in the next gen I reckon.

We have won 4 away games this season

To be fair we have rarely been convincing in those games. The second half today was refreshing

 

[Saxon]

Newy have clocked off.

No, Melbourne clocked on.

 

[Saxon]

Gotta watch the game more closely mate.

Todd Smith has been brilliant for Melbourne. Man of the match hands down.

You are Skeepe and I claim my 5 pounds.

 

[Fangs]

No, Melbourne clocked on.

They went alright second half.

Need to find another level if they want to compete for the premiership though.

They know what's coming.

Only for today. Return to regular viewing tomorrow.

It will be good to see Will Warbrick back in the team. We have missed him on the wing. Next week Munster,Paps,Xavier Coates will be back. Our fringe players have done a serviceable job the last couple of weeks.

Times are tough I need the change to get a trolley at Woolies.

They're not bad backups.

Melbourne have been navigating the Origin period well now for like 20 years. Feels like everyone else is still catching up to that standard.

Looking forward to round 24 v Penrith. Should be a cracker.

 

[Belza1]

Buy yourself a token for the trolley. I want all teams to have a good standard cos fans deserve great footy. Dom Young looked good for Newy today.
