2024 NRL Pre-Season Challenge - Week 1

[Harry O]

It's obvious fans don't care much for trial games

 

[Coastbloke]

Fmd, I hope my 2024 tipping is better than my ‘best guess.’

Bring back the Nines. NRL or World IDC. There must be something.

 

[skeepe]

Oooh that was some nice skill by Cotric.

Even Better why not bring some SL and NRL teams together, and play some games in England and here, something different for a change. I would love to see some of these Pommys running around. I remember donkeys ago when 3 games were sent to England and all the English sides gave us a hammering I think lol.

Problem is, England start their season earlier. This weekend in fact.

Well they could change it, and I reckon SL should start their season same time as us

 

[skeepe]

Hahahahaha. Never change Morgan.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Eels have looked pretty well structured. The SG Ball comp a lot of these guys won last year was probably the highest standard one in memory, think a lot of kids from that grade will see first grade this year.

 

[T-Boon]

Just hearing that clubs have already been training for 14 weeks. No doubt mainly practicing the dark arts.
The NRL should work with the players association to shorten that pre season to about 4 weeks. No club organised training until January 14 or some such.

That whole Fletch and Hindy thing was feeling pretty tired in 2020. Can’t believe it’s still going in 2024.

I reckon the minor premiers might have a few decent players coming through too.

yeah I meant a lot of players from all teams in that comp

Yeah fair enough. Still hurts that we didn’t win it all, but that’s the Raiders way.

 

[skeepe]

Sin bin for that? What exactly did he do wrong there? If that’s the standard this year there’s going to be a lot more bins than there were last year.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Jesus christ, if that is an example of the sort of shit that is going to get binned this season.....

 

[skeepe]

Shoulder charge by Ogden. That’s a send off.

 

[Bazal]

Ethan Sanders is small, a bit shit and looks like a PlayStation one character.

Raider can probs have him

 

[skeepe]

Two shoulders to the head. Neither that fault of the tackler. One a penalty and a sin bin, the other play on.

Consistency, who needs it.

 

[Bazal]

Lol why do we have video ref for a trial just give it no try and play on lah
