NRL Rd 18 2019 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

I'm still 'flat-as' about the CWC finale.

Anyway, life has to go on...

I'd love the Titans to get a post-coach bounce against the Storm. The latter are pissing me off, they're running away with the competition.

Game of the round has to be the traditional Sea Eagles v Eels clash at Brookie. Both sides seem evenly matched, which is reflected in their near identical table positions. Expect a big crowd.

The Sharks are sliding down the ladder but will fancy themselves on Friday, as the Warriors have a poor record in Wellington. Oh, and SJ will run!

The Knights are in a bit of trouble actually. Only on 18 points they would've thought they're doing better than that. Ponga is back though, he might be the key. The Roosters are in a bit of a hiccup too, by their standards. A good match-up this one.

Well, back to the cricket doldrums...oh Lords have mercy, what could've been!

A great rumble, back when Hoppa was doing the Wests Tigers proud!:

It's getting to the point where we need some results to go our way.

Such as the Dragons winning this one v Panthers.

CKN continues to kill it for the Raiders, just having a blinder of a season and I make sure I catch Canberra games just to watch him...

...but the bloke goes so hard with so much courage I can’t see him lasting more than three or four years before his body is ruined. Really hope I am wrong.

So we finish this round only 1 point shy of the 8? Wow. Our high point for the season?

"Faith, you know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord we've gotta keep the faith
Faith, don't you let your love turn to hate
Right now we've gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith

Nice to send Parra packing yesterday after Arthur said it was a good game to rest Ferguson

Were similar sentiments around Foran earlier in his career and that has turned out to be correct. One game in particular he kept taking the ball into the line and got destroyed 3 times by Tagatese, and Sterlo in the comm box said he needs to look at his style or his career will be short

Sage advice. I never made that connection.

Maybe our SJ was on to something with this minimal contact approach?
