NRL Rd 3 2021 - General Non-Warriors Thread

24-0 now, 46 mins gone! My only trepidation is that the Chooks will take this out on the team they play next week.

oh I’m sure they’ll have a rocket up their collective arses after this. They’re really missing their regular dummy half. How many weeks for the rabbit punch you reckon? That was a bad look.

Tedesco in, that’ll be 24-6, Bunnies better hold their composure.

Geez what an awful night for the chooks. Potential season ending injuries to both halves, Collins taken to hospital with concussion and a bench forward in deep trouble at the judiciary. Quite likely rubs them out of contention. The score
One really didn’t reflect how badly they were dominated, they were never in it.

confirmed, ACL for Keary. There’s his season, and probably the Chooks as a serious contender.

That just happens to be us

Wow, just looked up what had happened with Roosters and 3 big injuries that likely won’t play next week.
Disappointed for Keary - one of my favourite halves running around.

On the plus side, this makes them about as vulnerable as a team as they’ve ever been. Both halves gone, no Cordner, Friend, Collins and maybe Radley. If we’re ever going to get one over them, now will be the time.

Injuries in sport is such a tightrope. When a player falls, and takes their team's chances with them, it's the flattest feeling for diehard fans.

In Warriors context think Johnson in 2015.

Wouldn’t write Easts off just yet

Souths were surprising, dominated for the most part

Broncos looking to break 13 straight losses, and playing in daylight in Brisbane, which is weird.

 

[SmashEmBro]

Jeeze were 12 minutes in and there’s been a host of errors.

Wow, huge missed opportunity by Flanno

Two proud and successful clubs being such clear Wooden Spoon candidates! What's not to like?

I was expecting the deadly Cotric's name to appear in today's game in Canberra but he's here playing for the Dogs.

2-0, Brisbane, nearly half-time. Wow, one of these teams can score points.

After all the high quality matches so far this round - Broncos and Bulldogs look terrible or is it so dull after the amazing Warriors win

Milford needs to go, both for him and the club. He was once a top-notch NRL half.

And where's big Payne Haas?

 

[Blair]

So with the Sharks reduced to 13 players there's talk the new rules are contributing to injuries.

I'd write them off winning the comp, not for beating us next weekend tho...

No longer one of the favourites, could still make the 8, at least with Keary done early they have time to adjust

Deleted double post

Felt Cowboys dudded by bunker on a try called back by them when centre supported winger but got in the way of a potential tackler.
Never going to win the game, but still a terrible call.

Geez Payten might be feeling the heat up in Townsville!

Tigers win, good for the comp.
