NRL Rd 15 2021 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[nswarrior]

True, it's quite awesome watching Penrith right now. They have had the best run injury-wise though.

Another Ivan Cleary prodigy, SJ, went good last night as well. He's controlling games now, I can't remember him doing much of that with us.

SJ still goes MIA for long periods and looks low on fitness

It's that time of year again, where we cast a wary eye on our second teams.

Am I still into the Green Machine? I think so. Not surprisingly, Sticky's not my cup of tea though, but I loved their 2019 finals effort, so he can be tolerated.

When the time comes, I'll probably jump on the Sharks. Love watching Talakai play and I'm not dark on Johnson.

Oh, that's right, I forgot about SJ. I'll keep a lazy eye on him.

Big Ken is debuting for Wests tonight, that's another one. Who hates the Tigers? No one, thought so.

 

[Blair]

Beale in, Dragons are back in it in the 'gong.

20-12. Sticky looking filthy.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

SJ is playing for a contract so he’ll be pulling off clutch plays til he gets one

Melbourne racing the clock and well in front of it after 50 minutes. Forget 50, they’ll probably crack the record here, certainly for the modern era

Ken an hour or two ago:

“lolwarriors thank f**k I didn’t have to go part of that snoozefest”

Ken now:

“OMG WHAT HAVE I DONE?!”

66-16, twelve tries! These scores are shocking for the competition.

Talking about records, I'm sure we also scored 66 against Wests, in their last game at Campbelltown in '99. So we can be hard ruthless bullies too!

 

[Blair]

The Raiders faded again. They look done for '21!

Both Sticky and Madge might go too. That's two premiership-winning coaches fizzing out, albeit not with their current clubs.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

As much as we’ve struggled this year we’ve consistently tried. Same can’t be said for a few other sides.

 

[Blair]

Cherry-Evans' 250th NRL game.

The sun's shining up there, it's the place to be. This one might be a beauty.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Lol the Titans shitting the bed epically against Manly, they’ve blown a 16 point lead, Manly have scored 24 unanswered points and aren’t finished yet

 

[Blair]

Gee, that was 48 second-half unanswered points by Manly. Who said it's going to be a Penrith v Melbourne GF?

Rd 15 Ladder:



We're still in it, the Titans, Raiders and Cowboys all lost too.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Manly will catch the Chooks soon enough. Might not overhaul Parra or the Bunnies though with that 6 point buffer. Top 6 looks settled otherwise. 7 & 8 wide open but twill only make up the numbers.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Tbh I think I’m happier to come in 5 or 6 this year, and if you get the win in week one, you get the loser of what are looking like wars in the top 4

Throw Jake, Aloaia, Sironen and Schuster into that pack and it could get interesting. Walker is playing a strange role but it’s dangerous and the wildcard is the Fainu court case

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Reading a morning of comments about how the 6 again rule is creating all these scores, especially after the Manly game yesterday

That played absolutely no part in it, the tries were scored because Gold Coast had no ticker and will to go into tackles hard. They didn’t score any tries through the hands in the first half, and as soon as the possession turned they were gone. They let a front rower go 70m off the kickoff, that’s all you need to look at effort wise. 3 of their forwards are Origin players and weren’t interested

We have put 50 on all 3 Qld sides now and NSW did too, sad state of affairs north of the border at the mo

That role Walker played yesterday suits him perfectly, especially with his speed.
I think Croker has done a great job for you guys.

Dessie also brings out the best in so-so players like Parker and the bloke who takes the kicks.

Afterwards, Ken looked shattered in the sheds.
