NRL Rd 3 2023 - General Non-Warriors Thread

Had Manly by 6 in my work tipping comp so I’ll take that. Entertaining game

Seems like it was one of the other teams trying to sign Smith...

Smith can't seem to last a full game. Like Ponga, he's a big star in crisis. Any club that buys into that does so at their own peril.

Harsh but true?

Kick-off in Newcastle. Right, let's burst the Dolphins/Bennett bubble...

Edit: bugger, Kodi Damn Nikorima scores. 12-6, Dolphins.

Ok, so Suaalii can hit CNK in the back late, just a penalty and a fine, but Kaffusi can't and gets binned? Is that some kind of bias against Warriors or Forwards vs Backs? Suaalii a no light weight.

Happy with Manu no try, looked to be coming out and no control and ball sliding sideways.

36-20, Dolphins. Final.

They're going to be there in September, let's accept it. All things considered it's not a terrible prospect, is it? My personal bug-bear is that they've had one season to do it, the Warriors have had one finals appearance in 12 years, barring this one.

It just aint right!

Last night was a staement win for the Roosters. A typically fiery clash between the two teams. I noticed Hargreaves was in his element!

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Didn’t see it but saw some clips of the ending

pretty ordinary from Manu to smash a bloke high then step over the top of him like he is a big man

Titans take down the Storm in a high scoring game. 2 losses in a row Bellamy will be firing up.

And with the Broncos nailing the Dragons it sets up an interesting clash next week v the Dolphins. Both sides are unbeaten. Who will rule Brisbane city?!

 

[TheDMC]

The Storm look a bit hopeless. Munster will make a big difference when he returns obviously but perhaps the loss of the Bromwich brothers, Kafusi, and Brandon Smith is just too much steel and firepower out of their forward pack.

 

[Blair]

Oh, c'mon Tigers! 12-0, down already. This club is breaking hearts.

Dunno, but a bunch are hard experienced forwards are a pretty good start in this comp

On the upside beating the dismal tigers at a Belmore should give the dogs false confidence before we smash them at home

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Tigers get an intercept.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Dogs just pushed us out of top 4 with that try to go 26-6.
Edit: bad math, still 6 points diff behind us

26-6, Dogs, 15 mins to go. The chatter around Wests is dire. Thank the lord it's not us they're talking about.

'Clueless', 'inept', 'no one knows what they're doing', 'no spark', etc, etc (ABC Radio). This is a Tim Sheens/Benji Marshall-coached team. They should be inspirational.

 

[Scott]

This is a shambles from the Tigers. Do they actually train ?

 

[Beavers Headgear]

The 3rd try for the dogs, the Tigers fullback who is meant to be the fastest in the side, just jogged back putting absolutely nothing in. Perfect example of the hole they are in, Sheens was sacked by the same club 10 years ago because he was behind the times and hasn’t coached NRL since, dumbest coaching move I’ve ever seen, and the Warriors haven’t been sharp in that department in the past
