NRL Rd 7 2026 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

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

I suppose they froze, in a bit of shock that they'd got themselves in a position to win, after a huge comeback against a champion team.

But they aren't a champion team themselves, yet.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

That send off is ridiculous

Not sure Shane Flanagan is there next week

 

[Blair]

Rabbs win 30-12 over St George. That was predictable and, as Beave said, how can Flanagan survive?

Tigers a great watch

Kiwi coaches carving up the NRL at the moment. Love the tracksuit too, early 90s styles on the sideline

The jackets are as wide as they are long?

14-12, Tigers...

I think there needs to be a stewards enquiry into how the Tigers lost that game with all the things that were against the Broncos.
Puts us back up to 2nd on the ladder though.

I suppose it's the 'old' Tigers there, losing a game they should've won, 21-20, at home. It's burst a bit of their bubble.

Haas left early for the Broncos.

"In the 66th minute Adam Reynolds kicked a penalty goal to level the scores and then three minutes later, he calmly potted a field goal from close range and in front of the posts, catching everyone by surprise." (LU).

Dogs lose, to cap off a great sporting weekend

Dogs lose, to cap off a great sporting weekend

38-20, go Parra.

And the Chooks do Newy:

"The Sydney Roosters for the third straight week have turned a half-time deficit into an impressive victory this week it was the Newcastle Knights who were the victims after the Roosters took a 38-24 victory at a sunny Allianz Stadium." (LU).

Axe falling on Flanagan in a couple of hours

Another very interesting weekend! Rd 7 Ladder:

Penrith stay top but look at something very positive for us, we've almost scored as many points as them (229 v 222). Wouldn't that be unheard of in the last few seasons? It must show that our attack is becoming on-point.

As Beave said, the Dragons are acting on their coach today. That's inevitable, with all those straight losses.

It's to be expected at this time of year that there's a significant mid-table log jam. I doubt the Storm will stay at the lower end. But, as it is now, 15th is to be enjoyed!

 

[Blair]

I'm annoyed at St George for not putting the Storm in spoon contention.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

It’s crazy only 6 teams have a positive differential, and even crazier the team sitting in 15th is only -2

 

[JJ]

Flanagan and others gone...

He'll forever be the one that got the Sharks their premiership, but nothing's gone well at the Dragons

[Beavers Headgear]

Good luck to whoever take that role on. Can look at the Foran example, but he always had the likes of Trbojevic, Koula, Olakau’atu, Paseka, Fogarty etc to work with. There isn’t much to work with at the Dragons for an interim

Valentine Holmes put on what must be one of the most pitiful displays of all time on the weekend, 16 tackles made 13 missed

 

[Penrose Warrior]

13 missed, that would have to be up there in the NRL annuls.

Dragons feel like they're in one of those Tigers and Warriors post 2011 holes that they're going to find it very, very hard to get out of

Not sure if this is verified or not, but read that 12 of them were on Latrell

Needed a better peptide program at Dragons.
Also needed a magic salary cap year that they below, when above it the years around a premiership.

 

[Blair]

It’s crazy only 6 teams have a positive differential, and even crazier the team sitting in 15th is only -2.

Even in our two hidings we put on 36 points (14 & 22). That's plenty in those circumstances.

If he was marking Latrell, i can understand why he missed so many. He was a beast on the weekend.
