NRL Rd 13 2019 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

Post-Origin I blues or mid-way point of the season? Either one. Some teams are doing it hard with players backing up, although the 'modern-day athlete' doesn't seem to have too much trouble in this regard.

Another round of fascinating match-ups: starting tonight with the Rabbitohs v Knights, both sides had key players in Origin.

My match of the round is the Cowboys at home to the Sea Eagles. After a couple of years in the sh*thouse the Cows look to be creeping up the ladder again, and the Sea Eagles, although injury-hit, are travelling well but can't let all their good work go to waste by losing several on the trot.

There's talk of some ex-Warriors at the Tigers being 'moved on' so it'll be interesting to see how they go tonight against the Raiders. Having just checked I see it's only Matulino playing. Will he fire up?

If the Panthers beat the Roosters in Penrith then they'll officially be going OK, after a disastrously confusing start to their campaign.

4 in the bin!
Two Burgess throwing punches and headbuts. Not sure why Fitzgibbon went.

How good seeing a good old fashioned blue.

Not that anyone can land a punch anyway but still

I was excited just hearing about it.

Knights get the two points though, they're the real deal.

Tigers thrashed.

You can't punch any more, so blokes are head butting each other

Would you think his side's just had a cracking win in Townsville?:

How awkward is it going to be when Johnson is fit again? That young Flano is going great.

Sharks 42 Eels 22.

I read somewhere last night Flanagan to the Roosters next year is on the cards

Lol that was Desmond’s happy face, apparently he stripped the paint off the walls with his halftime spray, although luckily DCE said the doors and chilly bins survived

 

[Mr Angry]

We had 5 guys who qualify as rookie of year, 2 kiwis. Nikora, Uele, Flanagan, Xerri and Williams. B Brailey was left out qualifies too.

Titans winning, Panthers winning. There's movement at the arse-end of the table.

Rd 13 Ladder:



'Bad luck wind been blowin' at my back
I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at
Got the number thirteen tattooed on my neck
When the ink starts to itch
Then the black will turn to red

I was born in the soul of misery
Never had me a name
They just gave me the number
When I was young...'

Thirteen by Johnny Cash.
