NRL Rd 22 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

Brisbane not making the 8 is hilarious.

Huges showing speed we wish we had to set up Grant for Storms first try.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Sloan with speed to score and a nice dummy to kick after some nice offloads.

Are we the slowest team in the NRL?

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Good footy so far today. Wife away so am able to have 2 TVs going in the lounge, 1 with the league and 1 with the Olympics. Hopefully a gold coming in about 15mins

Getting a bit spicy and ref has everyone on ice.
Nice to watch halves that can think on the run.

12-10, Dragons. Halftime. But that lead won't hold, surely. It's Melbourne, in Melbourne. The Storm might make it something like 42-12 in the end.

Brisbane not making the 8 is hilarious.

Last year there was so much ego up there, which had won nothing. This year and last it would've been insufferable if they had.

 

[Blair]

The Dragons haven't won in Melbourne since last century! (1999).

Edit: they win! 18-16.

Plus, the Sharks will grind out a win over Souths, whose wee winning streak has well and truly ended. 20-6, final. It was a bloody ugly game. Poor in all areas.

Souths won't jump over us on the ladder.

 

[Big Marn]

The impossible can be done. Storm the overwhelming favourite at home with ref in their pocket (NAS should have been binned) and still got beat.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Talk of a Penrith curse, the last 3 teams to lose to them in the GF are sitting 14th 15th and 16th

 

[Alan Johnson]

The Titans have so much speed in their backline. So good to watch.

 

[Big Marn]

I enjoyed the Tyrone Sloan try last night. A bit wayward on D but helluva attacking talent.
The shape to kick dummy reminded me of OG SJ with a splash of Wade McKinnon. I loved watching Wade play.

Quite funny to think of the big deal that Ricky Stuart made of Crokers 300th, and didn’t play him in an away game so he could have the respect of playing his 300th game at home etc

Fast forward 12 months and Papalii plays his 300th game for the Raiders at Belmore …

 

[Blair]

20-14, Penrith. Four mins to go. The Panthers experience should close it out...

...and they do. The knights made dumb errors in the heat of the last five minutes. 22-14.

Cleary five from five with the boot. Imagine if we could do that?

Croker's a favourite son down there, isn't he?

 

[Blair]

There's big Papa getting booed onto the field in his 300th. Thanks Sticky!

Even neutrals would love the sight of a packed Belmore.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

That was a good game

felt sorry for Ponga earlier making the tackle of his life and getting pinged for it

 

[Blair]

The Bulldogs stay true for the Belmore faithful, 22-18.

Rd 22 Ladder:



Has the round eliminated more than just Souths, Rabbitohs, and Eels? Broncos, Warriors and Newcastle? For sure, you'd think. Gee, Brisbane and Warriors were top-four last year.

So are we thinking Top 7 play finals and Dragons, Dolphins, Raiders and Titans are going for the final spot ?

Yeah I think so. And the Titans only an outside chance because they appear to have got a roll on.
