NRL Rd 5 2026 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Big Marn]

Broncos looking like losing Walsh and Hunt for 6-8 weeks and Reynolds for a couple

Tallis will be watching the airports.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Holbrook is looking like a serious coach to start this season, always competing even with key players out

Think Sticky has gotten too cute mucking around with a minor premiership side and it’s hurt them

 

[Blair]

Knights do Raiders, 32-12. I'm liking Newcastle this year, and as Beave said.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

They got about 9000 into the new stadium yesterday to watch the Warriors game on the big screen, roof closed as well

Newcastle winning in a dominant way without Ponga and Brown is seriously impressive. They're clearly reacting well to Holbrook

Let's hope the real team actually shows up for the grand opening.

you have to wonder about the GC, so many good coaches (Hasler, Brennan, Holbrook etc) couldn't get shit done there... Hoss is the only one with decent results, largely with a veteran squad

 

[Blair]

Parra are great at getting ten-point starts then falling behind by halftime.

12-10, Tigers...
...second half, Wests are bending the line but Parra won't be bent, just yet.
18-10, though.
...Moses calling the referee 'bro'. I dunno, but I'd pull him up for that if I was the ref.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

This is absolutely ridiculous. 2 players went up for to contest the ball, the ‘tackle’ in the air will happen in that situation. Are your arms meant to disappear when the opponent catches the ball ? Was a similar one in the Warriors game yesterday, can’t remember which way it went though

To sin bin a guy because someone got injured when he landed is an absolute joke

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Just tuned in to see the reason we penalise mid air tackle. Simonson ankle looked at the wrong angle, not sure if it was coming from the knee?

Turned into foul play apparently.

Apa Twidle has arrived in the NRL, two tries in two minutes (or so).

18-all, sixteen mins left...
...four mins left...a thriller!

 

[Beavers Headgear]

This is an absolute embarrassment

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Oh dear, Tigers slap Moses falling and they taking the 2 for the lead.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

This is an absolute embarrassment

Wonder why Healey didn't get a penalty yesterday?

 

[Blair]

Oh dear, Tigers slap Moses falling and they taking the 2 for the lead.

Parra in front. 20-18.

Three mins left.
...justice for Tigers? Penalty! 20-all...30 secs left...

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Tigers loss keeps us top 4 for another week.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Oh no, Tigers now get their whiskers touched.
All draw up.

Moses with a 60m drop goal attempt that goes 35m.
Golden point

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Eels no8 wants the ground to open up and swallow him whole!
