NRL Rd 5 2024 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

30-10, Knights. Final. Well done to the fans who braved the atrocious conditions. Including the one in the snorkle, flippers and wetsuit!

Manly are good, but f**k me given the talent they’ve had to let go in recent years, and the game’s best player out, Penrith remain outstanding

 

[Blair]

C'mon Manly! Keep the upsets coming and the Warriors will soon be top of the table.

f**k Manly!!! 6-6 not sure given everything it’s be an upset if they got up…. But I’ll dislike Manly, Brisbane and Melbourne until I’m 6 feet under…. All great places though lol

Avert your eyes, the full house at Brookie is rockin'! Daly's 310th game, a record, and he's going good (apart from giving Edwards a 90-metre gift to the line, which got Penrith back in it).

Good win for Manly, no mistake, but don’t think it’s an upset

Helps on thr ladder.
But looks for a tough game next week.

Benji's bubble's burst? Not the start they want.

Any bubble was probably premature and wishful tbh

DCE is at 310 and he debuted the same year as SJ. What odds SJ playing on next year and making the 300 club? If his current form holds I hope he can

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Looking at the remaining games we should finish the round in 5th- unless there’s a lopsided result in the Raiders vs Eels game well stay ahead of both on differential thanks to todays margin.

If he's behind an excellent pack he could go round again, for sure. But I'm getting ready for his retirement announcement on the eve of this year's finals, which I'm now confident we'll be in.

26-16, Dolphins. That's no disgrace for Wests.

DCE? Yes, a premiership win, in his first year, but he might be disappointed that he went the next 13 without one. I bet if someone told him that in 2011 he'd be thinking it was a bit of a joke.

Stilll some good signs today. They kept their heads up and stayed in the contest, unlike Souths.

Will take that win, not pretty but managed to throw the ball around without a mountain of errors. Starting to get a bit skinny in the outside backs so will be vulnerable there next week minus Garrick and Saab

Always disliked Nathan Brown but he is rapidly growing on me

Leg up from a ridiculous decision though… swings and roundabouts I guess

Actually thought the decision was correct in the ball going backwards, confirmed even more the way the dribbler Parker was carrying on about it being a knock on, however the problem is that for years now they have just been calling any ball that hit the ground a knock on

And they still do, but not that one… strange one indeed

It may just be Buzz at the bottom of his 6th bottle of red of the weekend, but they are reporting Demetriou will be gone if they don’t beat the Sharks this weekend

 

[Blair]

If the Titans concede more than 28 points today they'll be the first side in the NRL to do it nine times in a row.

Also, Hoppa was in a road rage incident!:

If true it's always the coach who cops it, ay?
