NRL Rd 22 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

Really not much different to last year, just swap the Chooks out for the Broncos.

Is the info I’ve just read correct, that Luki didn’t have the leave the field for an HIA ? How can somebody be sent off, but the guy hit high doesn’t need an assessment ? Doesn’t add up. Last week Saab got yanked from the park and nothing happened to Jennings

Thats happened multiple times this year

With so many hyphenated surnames shared amongst our Warriors I was reminded of how few there were back in the day (reading a NSWRL Player Lists book, published 1994).

Polla-Mounter was one I always remembered. I think two surnames was originally a posh thing. He went to a private school, which might make sense of his posh name. These days? Who knows why parents do it.

Edit: just on ABC Radio, it's a world record, the most hypenated names in a top-level rugby league game, ever. Warriors v Parra, our six and their one.

Olam looking at 3-4 games...

How the hell are the Cowboys in the 8? Yeah they are higher than the Warriors but damn they are dreadful defensive side. The finals wont be strong with them featuring in it lol

The finals are never strong outside the top 4 maybe 5… it’s the way the competition is designed

Utoikumanu to join the Storm, of course they have a money free …

someone told me today that NAS isnt happy there anymore? Any truth to that?

Manu'a a big in for the Chooks.

someone told me today that NAS isnt happy there anymore? Any truth to that?

Has been a rumour all year that he and Bellamy don’t see eye to eye, and they’ve been trying to offload him without much luck, NAS has said he wants to see out his contract

Soinds like Jap rugby may be on the cards

Defence optional in this game, starting to think I am overrating the Roosters now, this defence isn’t up to scratch

 

[Blair]

It looked like the Chooks would run up a bg lead but the Dolphins, unlike the Warriors, keep finding ways to the tryline.

18-all, half an hour gone. Game on in Perth.

20-all, halftime. The Roosters have plenty more to do and the Dolphins aren't going away.

But I'm pissed-off with the Warriors and am off to bed.

 

[Big Marn]

Sorry, this is just outright cheating from Gerald Sutton. The most blatant sinbinning of the year.
1min 44 seconds in the video below. The Dolphins did score soon after but they would have preferred Tedesco in the bin for 10min. And then classic Sutton. 70mins gone, Roosters up 14, and safe to bin a Roosters player as a square up on a marginal call.
