2021 R4 Good Fri - Melbourne 40-6 Brisbane @ AAMI

[johns_reds]

There's about 4 or 5 teams that need to be relegated from the NRL

Ha coming from a titans fan whose team has finished in the top 8 once in the last 10 years

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Too good AGAIN Melbourne.

*goes to YouTube to watch 2006 GF and then the 2008 GF.

Thats why i would never support relegation lol because i know eventually the raiders will be stinking it up.

 

[Mr Spock!]

Drop Sea Eagles, Dogs and Broncs and bring back the Bears, Jets and Magpies

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

There are 4 or 5 absolutely terrible sides this season instead of what should be 1 or 2. I'm all for another Brisbane team just to upset the Donkeys but it isn't going to help this issue.

Exactly every (most) teams go through the cycle where they are at the bottom for a few seasons, this is our turn

The Panthers, Bunnies and now Storm have been such a c**k tease over the last 24 hours. Close to revealing their 'half ton' but not quite.

We would've got 50 but for a DCE professional foul right on fulltime.

Except that Nein didn’t get the memo so you’re still on FTA every week.

That was the argument used by teams in the late 90s and they still got shafted.

Stiff shit hey....

Kevvie looks like he’s about to play pocket billiards.

I think the NRL era has seen teams become good or bad with 2 teams (maybe 3 including Manly although they are bad right now) being overall pretty consistently good. Even those two teams Roosters and Storm have had a bad year or two. Although I read that the Storm have only been out the 8 like 15 weeks or something silly like that for 10 years

 

[Mr Spock!]

There must be a close game this round...

Who do the cows play?

Message me when you watch the 2008 one. I'll bring the candles, tissues and choccies.

Titans v Raiders has the closest line in the betting

The thing is, any of these teams can rise up the ladder. The key is in junior development. How embarrassing for a formerly powerful club like the Bulldogs to be demanding Burton, a player developed elsewhere, be released when they haven't lifted a finger to develop players in years.

 

[Mr Spock!]

I wonder if Milford's contract is bigger than Papenhausen's

Yeah I don’t watch 9 anyway so don’t give a shit

 

[Mr Spock!]

JT - Payne Haas best player on the park......

Sure JT....

Hmmmm I wonder if these media gigs are part of their past nrl contracts....

Its about talent identification not junior development per se. Melbourne have been consistently good throughout the NRL era and have very little junior development at all but outstanding talent identification.

The Bulldogs have had their salary cap ruined and that put them in a very difficult situation. I know you just want to make your typical Panthers= good post but its a long rebuild for the Dogs and that includes poaching players they think there is an upside to. We signed Tapine in the exact same situation from the Knights

Look at the Broncos they have a gigantic rugby league area to draw talent from but they have dropped the ball at actually identifying the good talent in the first place.

Sunday has the most interesting games imo. Are the knights about to tank and get a new coach again? how will the roosters rookies go?
