NRL Rd 22 2025 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

Stoked that the Tigers gave it to the weak-gutted Dogs, but not looking forward to the thuggery they'll bring next week to try to make up for this loss.

That's where we miss guys in our pack like Addin, Mitch and Fish. Hopefully the latter can still make it.

Six-nil, Sharks. Early. Big Addin's fired up...he scores off a Hynes pass. 14-0.
...26-0 now. It's a bit of a rout. Halftime.

Thoughts on the Panthers trainer running in front of Campbells vital goal kick ?
Should be allowed to move the ball in front of the sticks for rubbish like that

i missed most of this game. The Titans look like they got dudded twice.
The trainer seems to be getting to benefit of the doubt it seems, but how in the hell did Sami not get awarded a penalty try in the corner?

 

[Meth]

I think it was a mistake but they already had the issue with the ball spraying earlier in the year. How can you be that dumb?

it was either inexcusably grubby or inexcusably dumb. Guy should be banned, either way

 

[Beavers Headgear]

The way Voss carried on yesterday you would have thought a 40m field goal had never been done before.
(Titans have been on the end of 3 of these heartbreakers now)

I find Voss insufferable these days, would rather listen to a Manly game on mute than have him call it

Crichton is made of Teflon, last couple of years he is always on the right side of contentious calls and never cops a suspension

May was slipping today when he got him, but he didn’t slip a huge amount and the tackle was always going to be borderline

Yeah, it popped into my mind today that you're exactly right. Either he's the dumbest trainer of all time, who doesn't know that's the single worst place to walk, or he's the grubbiest. Neither version should be allowed to be involved next week, and it should be a fine.

 

[Blair]

The Sharks out-do the Cowboys, 32-12. What a round. Drama, disappointment, and upsets.

Rd 22 Ladder:

It's a knife-edge! No room for error now, we could be eighth in a few weeks, if we keep losing. Any team below Manly is probably gone. Below us, the next five teams all had confidence-affirming wins.

60,000 expected at Homebush next weekend for Dogs v us. It's starting to feel like finals already!

The Bunnies for the spoon? They're favourites now.

RIP Sam Backo.

RIP Sam Backo.

Sad, he was a difference maker

Unless some other footage emerges showing intent I'm going with dumb rather than grubby.

Cant remember last time I've seen that though, so he deserves a fine just for the sheer level of stupidity.

Hopefully its a catalyst to review all trainer behaviour and rein in some of the other nonsense they get up to like being onfield during play.

And clear a player of an HIA when its obvious they need one

I think the top 8 is done now, Dolphins v Roosters then Manly the next 2 weeks to confirm it

 

[Blair]

Sad, he was a difference maker.

The only bloke I can remember stopping him close to the line was Roach. They sort of bounced off each other but it was an Origin try-saver.

A relief for Warriors fans then. I had a nightmare last night that we slumped to tenth. Thank God the weekend's over and footy can be compartmentalised again.

 

[Blair]

Did Kurt Sherlock kick that way?

Bizarre that Meninga was still doing it, he was awful.

Ricky Walford was the last toe-poker. Right up until 1996. Although this needs to be confirmed.

1996, and torpedoing! It's like something from the dark ages.

 

[Big Marn]

If you google "les kiss toe poke" you will see him miss from point blank

No mistake, look at his face after the event (if they haven't edited it) he knew what he was doing. NRL needs to fine club, suspend trainer and look at taking 2 points off them due to context of the game (or say 1 more trainer incident or alike and you lose 4 points, carry it to 2026 if in finals).

The way they have been ruling them he should have gone for 10mins. He was slipping, if it had been forearm more forgivable but not shoulder.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

I’ve seen worse passes than the one they called forward for the Garrick try let go

Will be interesting to see how Tom goes at 1 for the next 15mins with Hopoate knee’d in the head.

Like 1 in the Tigers game for a late try.
