Match Discussion: Round 19 vs Cronulla @ CommBank Stadium, Parramatta / Burramattagal

[The Silverdale Phantom]

To think that in the infinite wisdom of the morons running the NRL they r so intent on expansion.There are barely enough decent players to fill 12 teams let alone 17 or more

Probably need a draft or special circumstances for struggling sides. Give it another crack.

The cap assumes an equal playing field of managerial competency, but the reality plays out differently.

The net result is hundreds of thousands of disenfranchised fans, members and stakeholders.

Eventually the game will contract and of course, it’s battling other interests ( not just sport)

I heard Luke Lewis expressing similar thoughts earlier in the year.

Perhaps we could expand, move to 2 tiers of ten sides each so we could jag 4 wins a year from the bottom of second division and keep the floggings to 50 or less.

Or a mercy rule at 50 and the side doing the flogging gets an extra half point on the ladder.

The NRL tells us the game is growing into the stratosphere, everything is fine and dandy, but I don’t think so.

Imagine if the Tigers were to win

I'm trying, but it's not working.

 

[Nutz]

I believe in miracles...Wests Tigers by 4

 

[Nutz]

I'm expecting they'll have a really good go but each half will be 15 mins too long

That's exactly how I'm reading it brother.

Especially if all of the elite players play for 4 or 5 teams.

 

[Nutz]

Score anyone?

 

[Das Hassler]

Where'd THIS Seyfarth come from ? great effort from him and a nice short pass for Blore...James has an offload in him...hope we see it tonight

 

[Nutz]

Tigarsssssssd

 

[Nutz]

Score anyone?

I predict 12-12 at half time.

 

[Benchtiger]

The Sharks defence is soft which is allowing us into this game.

Isn't that a good reason to expand and get more players playing the game?

 

[Das Hassler]

Absolute bunker bullshit! Just total bullshit

 

[Das Hassler]

Da Silva has the goods but one thing that's bugging me is his service is just a bit slow...doesn't pass off the ground

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

No resilience, no composure….belted up in the second half.

Bloody hell.

 

[MrBlack]

Condolences tiger fans. Thought you had a real go with the limited talent you had out there.

you battled against the bunker and lost tonight which really hurt you.

Kind words and appreciated but we stood there and got run over.

What did Tim say to them at half time?

I hate to think.

That last try to the Sharks capped off a great night to the half wit in the bunker.

What chance we would have been awarded that putdown? 0.00 %

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Even with the jippy, we didn’t deserve to win that game.

Keep it real lads.

I’ve been saying this for some time now, the bunker is killing the game, they take away the enjoyment. It is a pointless exercise for the most part celebrating a try either at the game or at home in the lounge room. May as well just wait until the try or otherwise is confirmed which takes away the whole spontaneity of the moment.
