NRL Rd 24 2018 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

That scene from Once Were Warriors when Nig was in the gang car on the way to his initiation...'Well today's the day ay, boy? You wanna patch...'

Tigers v Sea Eagles tonight. Thank heavens for the 'Spoon' as both sides have plenty to play for. I'd be disappointed if the Tigers missed the finals. They can still jump Brisbane! (and one other team, hence the 'patch' analogy).

Cows v Eels, the biggie on the Friday night slot. Back in March, the TV schedulers would be shocked that this is a Spoon battle.

Titans v Storm. An upset please. They can do it.

Roosters v Brisbane. So interesting, if the Tigers win tonight.

Are the Dragons a genuine threat? They led the comp for 3/4 of the season. That's got to stand for something. Unfortunately for them the Dogs have found a bit of bite.

Tigers needing a win vs Manly disrupted by coach and owner fighting will be a key game.

Manly will fight tooth and nail. The 'spoon isn't in their DNA.

 

[Blair]

There won't be more than ten Manly fans out there at a cold, wintery Campbelltown Stadium.

Who'd be a coach? The Tigers have come out flat.

Poor Ive looks mortified.

Manly 6-0, 26 mins gone.

It's up there with being PM of Australia.

8-6 staggers me, with some of the defence out there it should be 28-26 !!

I can't help but think a Tigers win will actually benefit the Warriors.

Breaking out the Lion Red tonight, and having the Warriors lose tomorrow but make the finals, leaves me cold.

As an aside, aren't Brisbane as likely to get by Roosters? F/A difference of 9 points isn't that much different between Warriors and Brisbane.

Big step forward in the for and against for the Tigers now

Manly aren't going to roll over...

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Million dollar man to take this to golden point with a 47m out kick from sideline.

Not sure we can win 6 in a row to take the title.
5 is out max.

Hell of a kick that, 60m on the angle falling 3m short. Game that summed up the season, yet another close loss with the game lost in the space of 5mins. 2 tries disallowed for forward passes, the ball from Jake was fine imo, and 2 missed opportunities with the ball dropped over the line

Manly didn't win, but they did they next best thing. A 2 point win has the Tigers under all sorts of pressure v Souths next week if we lose tomorrow (unless we get smashed). Not only will they have to win, but they'll have to win BIG

 

[Beavers Headgear]

RIP Lance Thompson, terrible news this morning. Not a star but a bloke I always loved to watch play

 

[Blair]

I presume it's Cronulla's Lance. I remember a season-turning win by the Warriors at Shark Park in '07, mid-winter. I kept thinking, 'how can we win when we're up against such a dogged player like Lance? He's in his element in a wet, cold grind'.

We prevailed 12-4.

Yes, and makes us know we have to win (sort of)!

Whoevers playing 'nulla this weekend might get smashed.
