NRL Rd 22 2018 - General Non-Warriors Thread

Gutted for Titans.
Cleary nails drop goal.
Panthers a rabble for most of the game.

Hehe Penrith are the best team in history from 70 mins on

They could be so good

No, no, no, no, no! No, no, no, no, no!

It's a parallel universe. I bumped into my Chooks mate who is pumped for a Sharks win. That way the Roosters stay top of the table.

Really puzzling that Manly are rubbish

The brothers have been good, the props excellent, the edge backrowers good... I know they've had issues but should have won a few more

 

[Blair]

What's your favourite 'euphoric ' song? Mine's probably 'Rez' by Underworld and I've got it on now, and half-cut on a late Saturday afternoon with the Warriors on the cusp of officially playing finals footy again.

It's quite emotional really.

One of those years where we haven't had much luck all round, have been a few blow outs, but also 6 losses by 6pts or less, 2 of those off the back of blatant forward passes. Dylan Walker seems to be the key ingredient, we are 5/6 when he plays 6, and the loss was the ridiculous one v Penrith

Refs are giving the Dragons an absolute caning in the first half hour, and as I type they send a Dragon to the bin

Dragons lost form but the refs really destroying them, some ridiculous penalties

A Warriors-esque late-season fade nonetheless.

After such a great start, too.

28-4 to Parra, 30 mins to go.

That battle for the spoon is almost as intrigueing as the make-up of the eight. You know me, Beave, I'm not trying to be a smartarse saying that. It's a genuinely interesting contest.

Just saw the score.
Wow, but did lose Widdop early.
We might pass the Dragons???

40-4, some Eels fans will be feeling a bit sick about that, as in, 'where's this when it really mattered?'

I'm in two minds about the Tigers winning today. Whilst, in effect, they're now stalking the Broncos, a loss today would officially put the Warriors in the finals.

Nah, I'll wear my Magpies jersey into Sydney today. I always get heaps of comments and ensuing chitchat. I want the Tigers in the finals too.

Titans have firmly entered the race now

You'd think winning the last 2 would be enough to get out of the battle but the other buggers keep winning too

Manly v Titans and Cowboys v Eels are 2 games that will have a big say in it. I'd say Dogs are in the biggest danger from here

 

[JJ]

Sharks showing that come the big games they're a chance

Yep, Storm missing a lot of tackles.
Making lots of handling errors
Tackled with ball on last.
Something doesn't seem to be right with Storm.
Dont want Warriors top 4????

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Dont think the Storm can pull a Panthers here.
Down by 7 with 7 to go.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Ok, 3 points now as I posted that.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Arg!
Storm doing us no favours.
Sharks dont lose another game with Cowboys, Knights and Dogs.

 

[JJ]

Cronulla are contenders imo
