NRL Rd 10 2025 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[SpaceMonkey]

What a wierd round so far, so many teams getting out to big leads and getting reeled in including both our NRL and NSW cup sides. At least both of ours held on for the win though unlike some of the others!

Big call, but Kenny may have just made the worst play in NRL history, you’ve got Cleary in your side FFS !!

Worse than Carige? What did he do?

Man, I only watched the 5-min highlights but that was intense.

Looked like some scrub field goal attempts, just like the one in our game (was it Flanagan?) that Blocker said word for word was 'a perfect strike but off the side of the boot'

Last couple of mins, 20m out, last tackle with Cleary in the pocket ready to knock over the match winner. Chose a terrible little scoot from dummy half that was never on them shovelled the ball to someone who was immediately tackled

Bad for the fact you have one of the best players of all time, who eats clutch plays for breakfast, and you don’t feed him

after watching the panthers and cowboys struggling to hit the side of a barn, im appreciative of Metcalf dg even more.

He didn't strike it well, but it was a point.

Just had a Quick Look at the ladder. Think that point will be a good thing for NQ, as it takes their points diff out of the equation which is poor

Also I doubt this will have ever happened, and will never happen again, after 1/3rd of the season, the team sitting 2nd has a point differential of 1, and the team sitting 2nd last has a differential of -2. Both of those are crazy low

yeh if he had been further out he would have missed it to the right ....but he didnt, so thats the key takeaway from that

I think this might be the most congested table in history by the end of the season.

I should have substituted congested for weirdest.....

32-20 now to the Dogs. The Raiders are the second team this weekend to blow a 20-0 lead. It's a humiliation at Canberra...

...and that's the final score.

Man did Creighton turn it on and they became passive in defense on him letting him start to wind up.

 

[Scott]

I can't recall a better performance in a half from a centre that Crichton for the Dogs. That was an incredible comeback led by a hell of a leader & player.

Panthers wish they could have kept him I reckon

Yea man no doubt. Takes a special player to have his sort of influence as a player and leader from centre.

Some amazing centres over the years like GI, but struggling to think of other genuine leaders from out there.

And a little monkey off his back. It was his first in first grade, in case anyone doesn't know.

 

[Blair]

Jaemon Salmon (remember him?) looked into the camera, pointed to his chest, and shouted, 'Weak. Gutted. Dog!' when he scored a try for Canterbury yesterday.

It seems he's not over that comment Sticky made a couple of years ago.

 

[Alan Johnson]

Don’t think I’d get over that in a hurry either.

Only ones I can think of are Meninga and O'Connor atm, Kenny too but wasn't until he was playing lock that he captained the Eels from memory, and only played centre at rep level - maybe Cronin

 

[Beavers Headgear]

I’m biased, and it may be a different kind of leadership, but I haven’t seen a better centre in the NRL era than Jamie Lyon, premiership winning captain as well

Forgot Lyon, but did mention O'Connor

Storm ending the Tigers season...

Storm ending the Tigers season...

Yes, a horror show is happening at Melbourne. Currently 52-0 with plenty left on the clock. The poor Tigers' faithful. One step forward, four steps back.

...58-0, 67th minute. The competition didn't need this.
