    NRL Rd 17 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    After last week's wild round maybe we'll be back to normal this week, whatever 'normal' is in this crazy year. Another thing to watch out for is refereeing and Bunker 'inconsistencies' as the whole officiating seems to have gotten out of hand in this regard. Players and fans alike have seemed...

    NRL Rd 16 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    We're closing in on the mid-winter grind and, with a tight table, it's all about winning now. There's more than a couple of nervous sides - fans especially (we always seem to care more!) - and a defeat or two now and they're looking shaky. Speaking of 'Shaky' I was in Wellington all week and I...

    There's a couple more coaches under pressure mid-season, being Payten and Siebold. They might not be sacked this year - ala bad old days Warriors style - but there's talk of Brad Arthur at either club. Two very safe coaches - Fitzgibbon and Bennett square off tonight, with the Sharks getting...

    NRL Rd 14 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    We're over the hump and, with Origin one done and dusted, it really is the mid-season, winter slog, upon us all. Things are dark and cold in Sydney (with the Blues result last night not helping that) and what better way to kick off the round on Friday with St George v Wests, two of the town's...

    NRL Rd 13 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    Round thirteen, unlucky Origin round! My ex-Deep Parra Mole has told me he's 'glad to be out of the basketcase of a club' and it's not 'why it was done' but 'how it was done' that's made him mad. He has a point. It was the first time I've ever seen him without an Eels shirt or jacket and he...

    State of Origin 2024

    It's back! It's a bit of love/hate with me. Sure it sucks the life out of club footy (let alone international) but it gets you through winter and is often very watchable (like the Olympics, Wimbledon, Tour de France, et al). The teams are named on Monday. Madge might do things differently to...

    Phew, the magic trick's done, and no lucky Rabbits were pulled out of the hat, but will they get lucky this week, against the Trent Barrett-coached Eels? It's fascinating! Before all that though, this is the Indigenous Round and a chance for every club to roll out another jersey. Tonight, it's...

    The magic round (although there's no magic Dragons this year, but they'll be happy to get a gift two points). Tomorrow, Canberra and Canterbury ignite it. There's mixed reaction at the Raiders in regard to Sticky being renewed as coach for another five years. He's an abrasive character but very...

    It's that time of year where, if your own team is rubbish, then you have a few options in what could be a long season. 1. You give up on your team (I'm not, they mean too much and what else would I do on weekends?) 2. You take more of an interest in your second team (I'm not, as I don't really...

    NRL Rd 9 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    I've got to go early again this week as I'm off to Titans country for some R&R. I won't overdo the Warriors gear up there as one, there's plenty of Kiwis showing out there anyway and two, it's a bit humiliating after last week! Thursday, is Latrell slowly withdrawing from the game? He's...

    NRL Rd 8 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    Anzac Day round is always full of emotion and sentiment, reflection too, and Manly will have a double dose after losing a club legend in Terry Hill. Today, there's three games, with the Warriors breaking with recent tradition by bypassing the Storm and taking on the Titans at home. The Roosters...

    NRL Rd 7 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    I'll go a day early again as I've got a big day at work tomorrow. The big news this week is Penrith's Fisher-Harris moving back to NZ next year. The Panthers have lost some big stars that's for sure. But you know what? If they keep their coach and those solid players - Cleary, Leota, Yeo, To'o...

    NRL Rd 6 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    I'm getting in a day early this week as I'm off to the Illawarra tomorrow for the first time ever. I can't believe I've never ventured down to Steelers' country. Apparently, it's lovely. I hope I bump into Rod Wishart. There seems to be serious disparities at the NRL Judiciary. This shouldn't...

    NRL Rd 5 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    A fifth of the way into the season and already squad depth is an issue at many clubs. There's quite a few injuries going around. Metcalf at the Warriors worries me in the sense that last year, exposed in the final against Brisbane, we lacked pace in the backs. Metcalf was a bit of a point of...

    Easter is here, with all its biblical overtones, and the like, playing out in a round of footy. But the only one I'm really concerned about is who 'gets the chocolates' at Mt Smart on Sunday. Tonight, it's the clash of the titans (yes, I know that's Greek mythology) at Emporer Nick's flash new...

    Three weeks in and the chickens are coming home to roost somewhat. What team wants to start the season zero from three? There's a few anxious clubs out there. Tonight, I want to be at Penrith just to hear the sledging! The big-shot Broncos are in town and last year's GF is still pretty raw. A...

    NRL Rd 2 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

    Round two, this feels more like it. No razzmatazz, no betting moguls, no giant egos in Vegas, just NRL footy, and even some wet weather in Sydney to boot. Tonight, the Broncos are back with their cushy home game to open the round. It's Souths coming to town, it's Reece and Latrell, what's not...

    It's past midnight and summer is officially done! You know what that means? All eyes on the Basin Reserve... ...seriously though, we're a couple of sleeps from Seattle, I mean, Las Vegas, and the start of season 2024. 'Vegas? What will it be next year? Macau? To attract the gambling potential...

    NRL Finals 2023

    It's on! We're there!! Friday: Brisbane v Melbourne (7:50pm) Saturday: Penrith v Warriors (4:05pm) Saturday: Cronulla v Roosters (7:50pm) Sunday: Newcastle v Raiders (4pm) We should be safely tucked up in bed, like the Bulldogs, Titans, Eels, et al, but instead we're up late, wandering around...

    So here we are, near the end, of the season we never want to end. 'We' meaning Warriors fans, of course. Let's start with the bye, my deep Parra mole met me in our usual spot this week (my workplace) and came to 'wish me luck for the finals'! What a turnaround! I've spent the last few years...
