NRL Rd 7 2019 - General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

Anzac round. Are the Storm going to introduce a new term into the NRL lexicon?

The Anzac Day Massacre. Followed by Melbourne fans forever holding 'Lest We Forget' signs in fixtures between the two teams.

Let's hope not.

Far more palatable is the Roosters v Dragons fixture today at the SCG. The Dragons have won four straight but will be stretched to make it five against the competition co-leaders.

Panthers v Rabbitohs. Geez, Penrith are under pressure, but it doesn't get any easier, does it? At least Cleary won't have Gus 'stalking the corridors' much longer. Surely Penrith, with their talent and good coach, will fire soon.

Game of the round? Sea Eagles at home to the Raiders. The latter look the best they have in years, while Manly will be fired up after their controversial loss last week.

Well Cleary will have no more excuses.
He now has full control - let's see if he can coach.

Terrific effort by the Dragons, bit unlucky IMO two very good teams though

The same goes for tonight, Storm v Warriors. We wouldn't have predicted that.

 

[JJ]

If we can only sign kiwis why didn't we get Harawira-Naera??? He's terrific

 

[JJ]

Guess I'll answer my own question

If to the geniused Warriors system Blair is 800K a year then CHN is about 5 million. That would be silly, wouldn't want to be silly

 

[Rich102]

Didn't Kearney say earlier in the year he didn't need any more signings?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Is there any reason the refs didnt pull the Storm up for the same plays the Sharks are getting penalised for?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

SJ is out after 22mins.

Looking very sorry in the sheds there. Hope it’s not too serious.

Seems to have been his good legs hammy.
Other leg has quad problems.
Sharks brought a lemon?

 

[Beavers Headgear]

No Walker, No Tom T, no Fonua-Blake, 14-0 down, DCE gone for the 2nd half with Api and Taufua injured as well, against one of the form sides of the comp, No worries

Welcome back Desmond

 

[Rich102]

You forgot to thank the refs.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Should have been 20-5, they missed plenty

You're having a season and a half, for sure.

But anymore rubbish talk of Manly moving to the Central Coast? If so they just can't leave you be.

 

[Blair]

Panthers two from seven. It won't be pretty there.

 

[Rich102]

Didn't CN-K go well for the Raiders?

 

[Benek]

Didn't CN-K go well for the Raiders?

He's got more Dally M points than any Warrior.

 

[WellsNZ]

Didn't CN-K go well for the Raiders?

Having a great year so far. Has looked good from the start and growing in confidence by the week.

Tough bugger as well.

Great to see him killing it. But not sure his body is going to survive the season, getting a battering!
