NRL Rd 8 2025 - General Non-Warriors Thread

It sounds like the bunker wont be stopping play for an infringement 10minutes earlier anymore unless its send off material. If its missed its missed which always upsets the fans if they feel like they are getting dudded, but for the betterment of the game, you cant have this bunker disruption an ongoing thing.

Yea man, was stoked to hear that. Of the whole circus, that was the single biggest pet peeve for me. The incidental contact being pinged/binned was shithouse too, but the bunker overreach had my son worried I was going to have a medical event.

For a while there it was worse than union. But unlike union, they've quickly acknowledged fans hate this shit and have moved to correct things. Deserve credit for that.

My ex-Deep Parra Mole is now my Deep Bears Mole.

Today he told me they're 'targeting Pommies' and they have 'two really bloody good ones lined up already'. It makes sense as Perth still has a large - but aging - British-born population.

But on paper we still just look so average. So I'm not buying premiership talk.

Good on Shaun for being excited. But hey, anythings possible...

I think this year, more than any other year, it is wide open. Melbourne the clear favourites, but much more beatable than in previous years.

Big call... did he elaborate why? Love for Metcalf to be 'that guy' for us but tbh it's hard to see so far.

Hopefully he’s just playing hard to get cos he'd be fking bananas turning down 1.5m pa to finish his career.

I like the grit, and winning ugly… but the reality is we can’t win any other way, and when the rubber hits the road the better teams (when we know who they are) will handle us comfortably imo… but there’s a foundation and done good talent coming through… but peak Egan aside a middle of the road spine at best
