NRL Rd 23 2023 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

Could this be the round of the year? There's so many ponderables. Firstly, tomorrow night, the Roosters have one last dance, but Manly can't sit down either.

Friday, the GC is the place to be! The Warriors are in town, both sets of fans are ready for what could be quite a show. Then it's the Panthers v the Storm, which is still most people's GF prediction.

Saturday, it's always good when the Cowboys meet the Broncos but this one is extra bucking good. Are Brisbane for real? There's still doubts, and have NQ hit a snag? Redcliffe are gone but they might take a couple of teams down with them, such as Newcastle. Over in Perth, Souths and Cronulla are shooting it up in the west. Who blinks first?

Sunday, Parra will surely despatch St George and we finish with Canberra looking to rack up some f/a against the sorry Tigers. What could go wrong for Sticky?

Enjoy.

I have a big day tomorrow, so have kicked the thread off a day early.

My bold prediction for this round: Wests get up over Canberra...

Hoping JWH takes Lodges head off

A monster mash!

That's my second most hoped-for result too. One reason is the Tigers might have an upset left in them this season but only one I reckon. It can't be in Christchurch!

Who cares what they do in Christchurch as long as they don't spring an upset in Hamilton....

We have had some results go our way in the last 2 rounds to give us a real shot at the top 4. Hope it continues

Hahaha Lodge gone after 5 min with a knee injury. Glad to see you’ve all been sticking your needles in your Lodge dolls legs

 

[nswarrior]

Who do we want to win in this one? Manly or Roosters?

Roosters cause I tipped them, we don’t have to play them again this year and they’re probably still done for the year.

Don’t care what we lose by, it’s been a good night, hopefully will turn out to be an ACL

Less incentive to Manly when they play us in Rnd 25 as they have Panthers in Rnd 24, so top 8 might be well gone.

18-2, Chooks. Halftime.

We know who needs to score next...and it's the Roosters. This looks to be game over at 22-2.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Those ball plant calls are very inconsistent.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

That 10min on Sipley came from nowhere?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Those ball plant calls are very inconsistent.

Butcher was looking for consistency with DCE arm on him there! haha

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Brown sent off!
Thought 10mins.
Left the ground after the hit not before. Wow, new inconsistent standard?
No HIA?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

This game keeps on giving!
Knock on first, then high contact. High contact penalised.

26-16, Roosters. Final. That was a nice mess of a game. On the scoreboard it was won and lost in the first half.
