NRL Rd 1 2026 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Philip_Smith007]

For all the gushing over Parramatta their defence is flimsy, that Grant try is embarrassing

Grant from 30m out at dummy half, very poor defense around ruck.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

That travel forward? Would say inconclusive, refs calls keep your challenge.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Wow, Hughes regrets that, huge strength from Penaseni, but stupid to try to score reaching out on 2nd tackle rather than going to ground with it.

Hold on, HIA on Eels player who wasn't hit high on review?

Hold on, HIA on Eels player who wasn't hit high on review?

I hope it was simply because he stayed down. Maybe the review was a bad call, but I’m also ok with anything that discourages milking. That’s been a blight on the game for far too long.

18-4, Storm. Halftime. A bit predictable.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Tuned out to watch some YouTube highlights of Black Caps win to make the T20 final.
But shit, Eels defence and hands has been very poor.

Round 6 at Melbourne for us not looking good. To many mental scars at that ground.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

8 points from Eels being written off in 1st round. Again.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Melbourne crowds are so poor for such a dominating team over the years.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

1 converted try to 50 points, 11 mins left, 7 mins against 12 men.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

50 with 3 mins to go.
52-4 final

Melbourne crowds are so poor for such a dominating team over the years.

I thought that too, they should at least paint the seats purple, yellow, white and blue.

52-4 final

Tragic for Parra and the comp. No 40-year fairytale premiership. Plus, Storm have won 24 straight opening round fixtures.

“Melbourne are looking vulnerable, if they are going to lose round 1, it is this year”

“Parramatta are on the up, and will rise again this season”

LMFAO

“Parramatta are on the up, and will rise again this season”

LMFAO.

I imagine someone got paid to write/say those comments.

“Parramatta are on the up, and will rise again this season”

LMFAO

You're a woeful tipper if you went away from a side who have won what, 23 in a row round 1?

Melbourne do 'oh woe is us' seige mentality like no other, either. That game was always going to be a blowout. No doubt Bellamy played it up

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Chuck Penrith down as the competiton favourites again

 

[Blair]

Chuck Penrith down as the competiton favourites again.

18-0, 23 mins left. They're showing what they might've done to Brisbane in the finals last year if they weren't so tired.

Edit: 26-0, Panthers. Final. A statement, sort of. What else did we expect from them?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

I thought that too, they should at least paint the seats purple, yellow, white and blue.

Thought the same with their green seats standing out when empty.
