NRL Rd 24 2024 - General Non-Warriors thread

I think Penrith are cruising a little - but fmd, you add Crichton, Burton, Leniu, the strike of Kikau and Api back, and wow... salary cap bites on some (they've missed Api much less than I thought they might - with the later JFH call losing Leniu was unfortunate)

Yeah without a cap, and not bringing in from outside, you might start talking about a run like the Dragons had in the 60s

Cleary back for the finals

Mitchell won’t be back this year

If Cleary's back, I'm sticking with Penrith

I'd much rather a four-peat than Melbourne winning, but something tells me this Storm team is cherry ripe to put their foot on Penrith's throat in a GF.

I still think the Roosters will have something to say about it all, too, although I will grant that they don't play the tough, uncompromising footy that wins premierships, and that Melbourne/Penrith have as a default.

How good would JWH/Collins v JFH/Leota be in a GF, with lenui entering after 20mins. Someone probably sits down lol

Leota was immense in the opener a couple of years ago, but I will never forget Martin Lang in 2003 repeatedly running it straight and repeatedly getting absolutely destroyed by Morley and Co. Gee he was great to watch, Nathan Brown a bit of a throwback to him this year

Lenui v his old club in a GF would be worth the price of admission alone. Plus that means Melbourne isn't there. I'm 100% for that

Leota is one of the most underrated players in the NRL, at least in terms of the press. Penrith fans know

80s/90s throwback with the state of the surface for this Chooks game
