NRL Rd 27 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

Katoa is just really f**king good

Yep, and Kevvie Walters looking a lot like he's not as a club coach

Standoffs that have made great nrl coaches.

Who comes to mind?
My memory of coaches who were standoffs is shaky.

Can't think of a stand-off specifically (aside from Barrett who does have an exceptional record but given the talent he has Walters is a rival), and Benji who's not shown much), but halves generally have gone ok - Hasler obviously, was Monie a half too? Paul Green, Sticky, Graham Murray.

I guess what's surprising to me is the number of props coaching - Sheens, Ryles, Payten, and forwards generally - Gus (who palyed like a half), Fitzy, Hos - obviously there are are guys who weren't elite players - Ciraldo, Bellamy, Webster etc - but perhaps the biggest surprise is that a f**king winger is probably the best of all (although I think Gould had his number when coaching)

I've seen a bit of Parra gear out today. Fair weather fans, not!

For all the doom and gloom that the media portray around Rugby League, the game is flying at the moment isn’t it

Looking now at the stadium that is sold out between the bottom 2 sides. Warriors sold out all their home games, Manly sold out 8 from 10. Huge crowds at the Dogs ground, Newcastle putting big numbers up, it’s all in a pretty good place

Nervous start by the Tigers, guess it’s the biggest game they’ve been in since what, that semi final in 2011?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

The media are sure rubbing it in, lol

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Gus might have been onto something with Galvin, Tigers have to get him locked up long term

NRL have obliged with the worst referee in the comp, and Fox Sports have provided the most boring commentator in history, Cooper Cronk

Game decided by who can shoot themselves in the foot the least

 

[Beavers Headgear]

The Queen is an embarrassment

Vossy has been doing his best to hype it up all game, haha

 

[JJ]

The Tigpies are just awful, as is Benji

 

[Big Marn]

game could have been interesting at 26-16 with Tigers well in it and Dylan Brown just getting injured, then along comes Api with that stupid f**king tip tackle. The Queen milked it for all he was worth but i think he was going to be binned regardless. So Api basically f**ked his team. Then the ensuing try by Cartwright was dubious. Could easily have been a few knockons there. After that the Tigers were shit.

Queen felt the contact and dove into the ground himself. Embarrassing, he should go and sit in front of Alex McKinnon and explain his act where he couldn’t decide which part to pretend was sore. He did the worst dive I’ve ever seen in general play just before the Fainu try as well

This Wallabies winger looks handy for the Chooks

A humiliation at Campbelltown for Benji's Tigers. Who did they think they were? Rolling the mighty Eels? I feel stupid hyping it all week.

60-26, Parramatta. Final.

 

[Blair]

The Roosters are in 2nd with that unconvincing win over Souths. Is their depth OK? They might still show up in the weeks ahead.

I like how St George v Canberra still has a pulse, as Beave pointed out. Imagine if the Knights and Dolphins went to extra-time!
