NRL Rd 16 2025 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

Yep surprised it has made it to 7 games, I expect the Thunder will get it done, but will be going for the Pacers. Guessing the game will be on Monday, I’ll be on complete media silence until I get home and get it watched.

Who are you going for? I feel for OKC too, one championship as the Sonics. But I'm going for the Pacers. They've got Bird involved, there's enough Celtics there to sway me.

However, yeah, you know, I don't really mind who wins.

I just read the Pacers won the ABA three times in the early Seventies, so they have won the national title. Still, the 'NBA' sounds better! So, go Pacers!

 

[Blair]

Gee, poor Alex Johnstone. Four tries but no team song! He'd be sitting in the sheds thinking, 'what more do I have to do?'

Today, the Sharks have tanked. The Broncos have scored the last four tries.

34-28, three minutes left...and final. At least Brisbane won't be angry next week.

Holy shit that was one of the biggest crash and burn displays I’ve ever seen that Hynes produced in the 2nd half

Pacers, enjoy watching their style

And Roosters 42-8 over the Cowboys. Payten might be in a spot of bother. The collapse is on.

It feels like sunk cost fallacy with the Sharks and Nicho. Just because they paid $1m a year for him or whatever, he's just clearly not it as a 7 against quality opposition. But Will Kennedy is probably a better fullback option, as well.

And he's signed until 2029. No club is going to bail the Sharks out of that, so they might have a real issue on their hands.

Don’t like saying it, but the Eels are heading in a good direction under Ryles, the fullback looks outstanding and the 12 is really impressive too

Is an interesting proposition, because his first half was outstanding, and his combination with Nikora looked deadly. But under the hammer something just seems to go missing, nearly kicking it dead on the full on the last tackle from close range near the end was a criminal play. Took dives rather than trying to make tackles at times too

The Eels slip through the Tits, 36-20.

Rd 16 Ladder:



The whole round =

And I don't want to say it but the Warriors are missing Dylan Walker. We need his rat-cunning in the opposition twenty, especially the ten.

the fullback is another Penrith junior? Jesus the NRL is full of Penrith developed players atm - just him, Katoa, Luai, Crichton and Burton to start is amazing

Can’t get the video to share, but on sports nation Facebook page Ayshfords expression during the commentary as old mate is fired up is hilarious

Yea its crazy aye. Back in '22 when Katoa was the starting 7 for their GF winning Flegg team, Iongi was the starting 1 for their GF winning Cup team. The production line is ridiculous out there.

Apparently Hasler has informed all his staff to start looking for other jobs

There was talk over the weekend he may walk at the end of the year

You couldn’t write some of this stuff

The Broncos media manager has had a car accident, while she was drunk driving …

She didn't spin her way out of it?

In all seriousness she'll probably get sacked.

Surely they can't - they didn't fire Mam for drug driving, and the fallout/hypocrisy of firing someone who isn't apparently a role model and certainly less visible to the public than Ezra is, would be sizeable you would think.

Sadly I doubt it

Yea man they'll be crucified if they try to sack her.

And the gender angle will no doubt be brought into it too. Which should be irrelevant obviously, but that wont stop the hordes.
