NRL Rd 1 2025 - General Non-Warriors Thread

Dylan Brown wants big money, lol look at your effort for the 4th Storm try son, you’re kidding yourself. Got fended off then gave up on it

Did worse for the Meaney try, did he not?

50-6, after ten minutes stint where Parra had possession and the Storm were forcing passes that didn't stick.

So, with 23 minutes left, Parra are the second side that won't win the premiership this year.

56-18, Storm. Final. Parra won the second half, so that's something. When we lost 70-10 to Melbourne it was a complete collapse.

I’d say that’s largely due to the heat in Melbourne today, the Storm well and truly put the cue in the rack there. Can’t really blame them.

Eels win the 2nd half, Ryles the saviour

Now for the cricket! C'mon Black Caps.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Is a rare occurrence for a side to really go on with it for some reason. Even Manly last night didn’t score in the final 20

I should be having a nap now if I want to see much of it

I had two today and a coffee with dinner

Have we ever won a major one-day tournament? I can't recall.

We won this tournament in 2000, against India as well. Chris Cairns ton with some help from Harris got us out of the hole

Took the young lad out to speedway last night, luckily picking the meeting that didn’t have a horrendous incident, then watched the Manly game when I got home, 1am finish and he had me up again at 6 for a full day, running on fumes lol

 

[Blair]

LV done, a few big scores at home, Canberra won't stay there! (Sour grapes)... updated table coming...

 

[Meth]

I guess its good to see that there are a few teams as cooked as us- although the Broncos and Storm are higher quality than the Raiders.

Yep, 2000 Champions Trophy in Kenya

Yep, 2000 Champions Trophy in Kenya.

A million years ago. Let's do it again. How good would it be to be in Dubai tonight? It'd beat rainy, cold Katoomba hands down. Mind you, I'm drinking beer, with a day off tomorrow...thinking about a country of five million that can beat a country of one and a half billion!

I'm genuinely excited. I love 50 over cricket, it was my great thrill as a youngster to watch us through the 90s at Eden Park on the terraces

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Yep I’m the same with 50 over cricket, used to attend every Shell Cup game, and the Canterbury side contained Fleming, Astle, Cairns, McMillan, Harris etc, and they always performed when an ODI came to Lancaster Park as well

Was a surreal moment for me playing senior cricket against Harry and facing up to that bowling action

 

[Blair]

LV's done and dusted, some lopsided results back home. Canberra won't stay there (but if they do, then hey, it's totally fine), Manly look sharp (they'll stay top-four, or five, injuries permitting), and Wests are in a good spot! Tenth looks great for them but they need to cement it, or better.

Rd one ladder:



Next week has a Penrith v Melbourne blockbuster and an Eels v Tigers sh*t fight! What's not to like?
