NRL Rd 26 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Beavers Headgear]

I tipped the Titans, knew that was wrong when I saw the team list flash up pre game !

Comp changing day with Sam Walker, Brandon Smith and Victor Radley all seemingly having their seasons cut short

Couldn’t have really scripted the final round much better

Cowboys v Dogs playing off for 5th spot. The loser potentially losing a home final if Manly can beat the Sharks next Sunday

Dolphins v Knights, straight shootout for 8th spot, unless they draw after 90 mins then the Raiders and Dragons are still in the hunt and playing each other

And we can’t forget about spoon bowl between the Tigers and Eels

Blair's intro written for a second week in a row

Love it. It's been another emotionally exhausting Warriors season.

Mad Monday. In this age of family-orientated NRL activities, are our boys having a drink? Let's make sure we get some pictures. Nice ones of course, no trouble!

Needless to say the 'Shaun Johnson Farewell Tour' has hit the road. It's feeling a bit like a Johnny Farnham farewell.

It was a tremendous finale. Like when I saw Crowded House outside the Sydney Opera House in '96, it was perfect.

Crowded House came back, Shaun Johnson won't...

The ellipsis is intentionally forboding.

The thing is he's 33 (34 this month). He's lost time. If he doesn't like retirement next year he'll be 35/36 in the following. I think it's over.

from the post match presser, it sounded like he had some media committments on the side brewing but was also planning to set up some sort of academy to coach young playmakers. Might also have some specialist role within Warriors. But nothing confirmed.
at one stage when he was breaking down the last play it was almost like an unprompted interview for the sky sports commentary team. Wouldnt take much to improve that outfit to be fair.

Confirmed ACLs for Sam Walker and Brandon Smith, AC joint for Radley and done for the year also

brutal weekend for the Chooks

Trent Robinson hooking into Whitehead post match as well

I feel guilty saying this but it’s my favourite time of the league season, when i can enjoy the weekend’s games as pure entertainment, free of the depression or foreboding associated with the Warriors.
