NRL Rd 22 2023 - General Non-Warriors Thread

I feel sick, think I’m going for the Storm here

I see the Storm are celebrating 07 and 09 Premierships tonight lol, what a grubby organisation

Katoa's being seriously talked up by the Channel Nine team. It's a little insulting, the vibe is about how the Storm is perfect for him to develop his game.

They're sort of right, I know that, but the Billy-led Storm love-in is too much.

24-10, Storm. Halftime. Edit: we don't want a big win for Melbourne, do we? Because it's what we're getting. 30-10...it finishes 46-16.

Go Newcastle - can’t watch the game but I would love to see Sticky lose the game and then lose the plot

Always entertaining, plus it gives us more of a top 4 buffer

 

[Izz]

Well on track for a Sticky blow up

 

[JJ]

26-0… wtf!?!?

 

[GoSouths]

Raiders were never in it. Newcastle made enough turnovers to invite them back in too but they werent up to it.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Without seeing it- Raiders were a banana skin for us cause they were fresh and we were on a short turnaround, but we managed to scape through. In the same position against Newy they had nothing

 

[Blair]

26-0… wtf!?!?

28-6, Newy. Final. So the Knights are on the rise at the right end of the season. But they're also an awkward finals opponent!

I don't believe it, Ben Hunt and the Dragons aren't ruining Daly's 300th?

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Haven’t rated the Raiders all year and still don’t see any games to change that

Dragons abysmal, 57% of the ball, 46 tackles in the opposition half, and down by 4 at the break. Pretty ordinary game

 

[Blair]

There's some dreadful prospects waiting to end our season (in finals!)

In the past I've disliked them all, and it's always a long train ride home to Katoomba for me.

Here's the horrible roll call, in chronological order: Parramatta, Easts, Penrith, Cowboys, Manly, Titans, Manly and Penrith.

**** 'em all.

Schuster having a game tonight

Schuster having a game tonight.

A grandstand finish but.

Manly lead by four, six mins to go. 22-18...

Edit: Manly win! 24-18. Koula tips Ravalawa into touch at the death.

Snake doing Manly's interview at the end!

 

[Blair]

Moylan's 18th Man tonight, at his former homeground too. That sounds like old father time being called.

 

[JJ]

Penrith in cruise control

 

[Beavers Headgear]

McInnes 76 tackles with 10 to go

 

[Blair]

Penrith in cruise control.

It's kinda relaxing knowing how good they are. The Premiership's theirs, and we can have some harmless fun in the finals!

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Massive lol at anyone who rated the Sharks. What a myth.

 

[Blair]

Isaako misses a sideline conversion to steal it from the Dogs!

That's a painful welcome to first grade for the Dolphins. 23-22, Dogs. Final.

A Burton one pointer on the stroke of halftime was the difference.

 

[Blair]

22-13 to the Coast, 13 mins to go. Do the Titans have the mental strength to close it out?

Edit: that's the final score! A six-game winning streak is over for NQ. They looked tired.
