NRL Rd 17 2025 - General Non-Warriors Thread

When I saw the menu for tonight Dragons v Eels didn’t excite, but has been an entertaining contest.

34-20, Dragons. They're just really hard to beat in Wollongong. It's a trip I've always wanted to take as a fan. It's such a nice break from Sydney, like the Central Coast.

Dolphins so good to watch. Hard to believe they’re reportedly sending Nikorima on his way next year to bring in George Williams

I went and sat on the hill there one day many years ago, was a nice train trip

Dolphins now have a diff of +162, and only just into the 8, crazy stuff. They were the last side to win a game this year too from memory

When you hit the top of that hill and see the south coast before you is magic. Same with going north to Gosford, weaving your way along the Hawkesbury. I've done that one for a game, an inspired decision in 2016, with the Warriors winning in golden point.

Fifty put on Souths by Redcliffe. Put a line through Bennett's Bunnies.

Canberra are top. That's a significant shift and it could be their year. They were my team but aren't anymore. Thirty years ago now, too much water under the bridge. Nothing left for the old flame, is another way of putting it.

I did love them though.

6/6 heading into a Sunday afternoon, Titans guaranteed to trip me up though

Manly have moved Jake Arthur to Newcastle, just what they need, another below average NRL half lol. Presumably that spot will be used to get Tallyn Da Silva in

Horror show.

Another horror show is the Warriors offloading Katoa. He's on fire for Melbourne today. A tremendous kick/chase proponent.

24-6, Storm...some big Nelson brilliance and the Storm are in for another, 30-6. Final. Melbourne finish with 12 men too. Just like the Tigers on Friday. They ran out of interchange. It's all good until it's a tight finish!

Da Silva's off to the Eels on a four-year deal. Whatever a 'four-year deal' means to him and his management.

Good info from the journos then lol. Interesting to see what happens with that young hooker the Eels already have thete

24-18, Cowboys, but a fast-finishing Titans are making a thriller out if it. Payten would be feeling sick, his side had it in the bag at 24-6!

Twelve mins left...Tino drops it, is his mind on Origin? Cowboys seize on the chance and score, 30-18...

Kelly scores and converted from the sideline! 30-24, three mins left...Payten is having a hellish moment down there near the field...and then a brain-explosion from Kelly, who let that roll over the sideline, with his teammates yelling 'stop it!' (As touched by Tino). Game over. The Cowboys hung on.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Let’s down by the Tits yet again, and it was the biggest tit of them all Tino which killed their chances off

Poor old Des, even when they scored to get back within 6, he looked miserable lol, he knew what was coming
