NRL Rd 17 2025 - General Non-Warriors Thread

It's all on tonight with the game of the round, Penrith hosting Canterbury. The weather's cool but clear, which is where Penrith's heads also need to be if they're to knock over the competition leaders and, in doing so, announce themselves as contenders again. Was there ever any serious doubt?

Tomorrow, the early game at Brookvale, Manly v Wests. These two are running low on juice. The 4 Pines Brewery will be drunk half empty at that time of the week, a happy sponsor but an unhappy team? Canberra are in Newcastle, with the Knights a bit more confident with their general attacking play. The fickle fans will bowing at O'Brien's feet if they win.

Saturday, the Warriors fans make Lang Park their own. We've done that for years and it's something to behold, especially when we win. But Reece Walsh is back. Is he the same dynamic player he was with us though?

The Dragons v Eels, Sydney fare, both haven't given up on the top-eight, yet. A loss here and one might have to. Redcliffe v Rabbitohs, painful losses last week, eighty minutes to put it right this week.

Sunday, Melbourne might put Cronulla to bed. What a disappointing last month or so for the Sharks. Finals look elusive, Hynes probably isn't their man to get them there, big Addin might have itchy fins. The drama!

We close with a desperate encounter between the GC and NQ. Scriptwriters and their chrystal Steedans? Or just remotely functional Canadian algorists? Either way, the timing's spot on.

Enjoy.

C'mon Bulldogs, send Penrith packing!

8-6, Panthers. Thirteen mins left, Dogs attacking...no way through. Moses Leota is stepping up in form, premiership-winning form.

Taking the 2 at 8-6 up is a bizarre call, take a min off the clock but the ball is back at the danger end of the field

I guess though it takes the 2 point field goal out of play

And they miss anyway

Unless it hits the post! Penrith have won anyway,

8-6 and a grandstand finish. Another crucial two points for Penrith. They're now sixth on the ladder. We're all doomed.

Hey guys, I haven't installed an adblocker but am using the Duckduckgo browser. All the clutter and interference is gone! It's a great change but not perfect as I can't use a 'like' button.

I don't mind ads, ad banners etc as there are cost to running these websites, but the ones popping up taking over half the screen are pushing me in that direction.
