NRL Rd 2 2023 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Philip_Smith007]

Worst call I’ve ever seen in the NRL. My mind is blown. I’m not sure it was even a penalty. 10 in the bin is insane. I’m speechless.

Worst part is a bunker call who did nothing about Sualli but went back for a penalty on Montoya.

Kosi needs to watch Grant getting out of in goal there

 

[Philip_Smith007]

So another sin bin, must be making up for it?

Doggies playing like I thought they might last week

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Manly beat Dogs by 25, Dogs beat Storm by 14, flashbacks to 2008 and 40-0

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Katoa with some great hole running in Kayo mini and denied a try by bunker as Mahoney sold a bump late in the game.

A wonderful crowd at Leichhardt. Can the Tigers turn it on for the faithful?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Ponga KO'd in first defensive set.
Took a turned shoulder to the head.
Vossy saying head clash.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Brailey looks gone for the day too, that’ll be the 18th man on for Newcastle already.
If the Tigers can’t win this, at Leichhardt from here, lock them in for another spoon because they won’t win shit all year

 

[SpaceMonkey]

and the Knights about to be 12-0… goddamn the Tigers are gash

Now a try taken off them, Fitzgibbon looked to wrap/tackle the players tho, obviously doesn't matter.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Want to feel good about the Warriors? Watch the Tigers vs Knights. It’s less a game of football than an extended blooper reel

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Never understood the Sheens will turn around the Tigers narrative, when since the mid 90s he has had half a dozen at best good seasons as a coach, and he got sacked 10 years ago by the Tigers because it wasn’t working

Benching Koroisau for the start and end of the game last week, and purchasing Bateman, not playing him and keeping the reason why a secret, suggests not much has changed

 

[Blair]

It can't get any worse for the Tigers faithful, can it? I'm hurting just looking at them in all their gear, all fired for Sunday arvo footy at the spiritual home of Balmain.

 

[Blair]

Saifiti off, swinging arm. Knights down to 12, but up 14-6, with 15 mins to go.

Tigers must win though, surely?

Don’t count on it

this game reminds me of the infamous cheer girl brawl game between the Warriors and Cows in 2000 or thereabouts. A festival of derp with fights, a send-off (though at least this time Saifiiti was guilty, unlike Ali) and some big hits and concussions. If that one is the model the Knights will pull off an unlikely victory over a truly inept home side.

 

[Blair]

Eight mins to go, still 14-6. Tigers fans are leaving, they're the ones who won't be back next time.

14-12, Knights. Final. A courageous win for the ages.

What was the bunker on with the clear double movement ?

up the breakers

 

[SpaceMonkey]

playing at leichhardt
Ponga off concussed in first 2 min
Brailey off concussed in the first half
Frizell injured
Dom Young sin binned
Saifiiti sent off
Awarded a pity try for a double movement

and the Tigers still lose

Is the the most inept performance in NRL history?
