NRL Rd 7 2026 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Thatwasnthighref]

Excited to see what Koula could do on a dry track on a Sunday afternoon, he and Olakau’atu have a pretty good connection

Helluva of a 1-2 punch.

You could make a case for someone else having a more dangerous fullback, or a more dangerous backrower, but as a pairing... tough to go past those two.

24-16, Raiders. 58 mins gone. Gee, the Storm are in the doldrums and they don't have us to pick them up!

...Raiders take the two, 26-16, 70 mins.

A quote from the LU live blog:

"Bellamy looks like he's been dragged along to a dinner where all the people are talking about what happened in a reality TV show, and he's got no idea what they're talking about."

Craig, what happened? Has he suddenly become yesterday's man in six months? This happens to players, as we know, but coaches?

Great game to watch.

Warbrick having a great game. He is a great buy.

5 to go and Melbourne get a try to get to within 4

OK, maybe Craig isn't quite done yet. Sticky will be nervous.

Funny bunker didn't call it high, any touch to the face is normally called high.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Munster the myth

Raiders extremely lucky at the end there, clear contact with Warbricks nose that has been called rightly or wrongly every other game

 

[nswarrior]

Warbrick dies with the ball in the 5th tackle and 1 minute to go. Game over.
Warbrick has been one of Melbourne’s best but not enough desperation on the 5th tackle

 

[nswarrior]

Really enjoyed that game. The new rules making for more entertainment

hes a warrior to be. already has the stink on him as far as refs are concerned....

26-22, Canberra. Final.

I think I heard correctly that that's Bellamy's first time losing five in a row?

However, the Storm weren't too bad. It was a cliffhanger. They lost. We expect them to win.

2nd time for Bellyache. 3rd in their entire history

It's underway in Darwin...a league town? Dunno, probably 60-40 leaning towards AFL.

It’s a sellout - League on a roll across the country

 

[Blair]

Oh, OK, the Dolphins have come back from 18-0 down to draw level with the mighty Panthers, on the hour mark in Darwin.

Maybe the heat's got to Penrith.

Go Dolphins. Great 2nd half so far from
Dolphins!!

 

[nswarrior]

Unbelievable- Dolphins go ahead

 

[TheDMC]

Katoa is a wonderful player, but with scores tied right near the end of regular time and twice in golden point, the Dolphins had the Panthers going backwards on defense near the halfway mark on tackle 3 and instead of next man quickly up the guts, Katoa ran sideways to pass to a player cutting back in for no yardage gain and momentum all lost. Warriors would have got into perfect field goal position each and every time in that scenario (with Erin Clarke or Ford 4th tackle up the guts).

But then, of course, we would have missed the field goal anyway lol.

Almost a perfect night of footy....would have been so good if Melbourne and Penrith had both lost and Tigpies ended the Weeknd top of the table (with us 2nd equal).

 

[Blair]

So, Penrith suddenly look like they're beatable (23-22, they won last night) which makes for an interesting season after all.

Dolphins should have won that. They were right on top with a lead of 4 points and 15mins to go and shut up shop.
