[Diesel]

Fox advertising RIVALS.

RL v RU v AFL

this line is false advertising, you have represented your club, your state and your country.

maybe so for RL & RU but show me where AFL has played any rep, especially internationals

 

[This Year?]

Do pre-season tries count to get off the nudie run?

 

[This Year?]

Ah Blocker's 1st "in gold area" for 2026.

 

[_snafu_]

Knock on.

 

[MRN]

Fox advertising RIVALS.

RL v RU v AFL

this line is false advertising, you have represented your club, your state and your country.

maybe so for RL & RU but show me where AFL has played any rep, especially internationals

AFL used to play against Ireland's Gaelic Athletic Association. Technically a hybrid game but still an Australian AFL team.

 

[This Year?]

Titans looked pretty good. Dolphins completion rate isn't doing them any favours.

 

[This Year?]

My takeway from the rivals ad is that Jamie Chapman is fkn hot.

 

[Tom155]

Clear as day shoulder charge video ref says no smh as bad as ever

 

[This Year?]

De bin.

 

[no name]

De bin.

Well milked, not sure what else he could do, he was trying to get back onside.

 

[This Year?]

Great defence Tits

 

[This Year?]

Well milked, not sure what else he could do, he was trying to get back onside.

Maybe not try going straight back through the ruck perhaps?

 

[no name]

Maybe not try going straight back through the ruck perhaps?

Gotta disagree on that one. He stood up to get onside and the Dolphin player initiated contact.
Tough call to make live but De Groot probably hard done by.

 

[This Year?]

Great challenge.

 

[no name]

That was a pretty bad call.
Ball went back the whole time.
Cost the Dolphins a penalty by calling knock on instead of back.

 

[mozza91]

Tits/Dragons GF on the cards in 26.

 

[no name]

Tits/Dragons GF on the cards in 26.

The Ilias Cup.
Loser has to keep him and be abused by Bwaiff on 360 every week.

 

[no name]

Francis probably got away with one with that strip. Could have been penalised.
Good footwork from Morrin.

 

[This Year?]

Well played Titans.
