NRL Rd 3 2026 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

Fairly slow start to the season for me, didn’t see any of last weekends games...

A rousing Manly win might do it. For your sake I hope it happens soon.

Yesterday we didn't get to give the opposition fans a traditional goodbye send off because none of them left a minute early. I was watching and was impressed. Newcastle are not, for example, Easts, who can be seen sneaking out just after halftime.

Parra have come back to lead 24-14 early in the 2nd Half. The Dragons struggle to hold leads.

30-20, Eels. Final. That was a good game. St George lack consistent pressure. Now on to Townsville, Payten's pain is there to see. I wish him well.

... it's a good game up there, 22-16, Cows. Early in the 2nd Half. Todd is having a long night.
30-16, NQ. Final. JT found some vintage form. Payten would be feeling much better and lives to fight another day.

Early days, but wow.

Rd 3 ladder:

The bottom four is interesting too. The Raiders and Roosters? Surely that won't last.

The 17th side isn't a surprise. What a rabble they are

(hope we don't lose to them by 60 this year, or at home )

Badel v Tallis last night, Tallis got owned and looked like an absolute twat. His vendettas are ridiculous

Yeah, Tallis is a drone and lacks the capacity to reason. As soon as somebody interjects (and even if they're agreeing) he splutters out 'no no no' and just repeats himself.

He obviously is going into bat for Kevvie. But its also a bit of a story, considering he is now a part owner at the club down the road.

I saw an interview with Tallis on Triple M, as well. It was laughable, and David Riccio made himself look like a fool simping for him, as well.

Gordy is now the most unlikeable person in the media/administration by a fair way. He's just a joke.

The Broncos have every right to remove him from a conference room door, and add someone like Ali Brigginshaw who is a much better servant for that club. Gordy has made an absolute peanut of himself since his mate got arrowed for being a sub-par coach. He's actually been a massive baby over it. Fair play that he is so loyal to his mate, but surely even Kevvy could tell him enough is enough.
