NRL Rookie Show

[VillaTheGorilla]

I'm enjoying the show. A bit cheesy at times, but pretty entertaining to watch. Interesting to see that 2 of the kiwi boys and the english bloke are all rugby players, so you'd think the aussies have that edge over them when it comes to the crunch.

There was randoms on the field with no names on their jerseys ? What's the go there

They need to make it a full 13 team somehow........

Why are there so many damn yawnion players on this show? Why select these useless twats? That Elias Power is a top notch wanker.

It's also a struggle to watch Erin Molan as host. I feel like I have to like her cos she's a Raiders fan, but she's such a f*ckin try-hard.

I feel like the Ex Roosters under 20s guy is being built up to win - Goodwin or whatever.

I'd like to see more of Luke Frixou? Bob sled and ex union guy. Big frame and young.

Yeah they showed him in the weight room last week, looks pretty powerful, but didnt show him almost at all this week?

Thought it was a bit soft how they got rid of the guy who was injured, after letting the other guy who was injured stay on last week. Danny seemed like one of the fitter ones in the challenges, and didn't put a foot wrong on the paddock even though he's a union player. Scored a good try too, from memory. I think Fittler's playing favourites

What's even worse was the excuse that because he was trying to become a halfback the position would be too tough to learn, in that case why did you even bother with him as a halfback in the first case. The bloke played rugby 7s for England as an outside back, why not see how he goes as an outside back on the show?

I think it is a shit show with shit potential NRL prospects. If that is the best available, then crikey, league is stuffed.

For starters, I wouldn't look at anyone over 23 yrs old unless they were exceptional and I mean exceptional.

Agree, I don't understand how a 28 year old can be considered a "rookie".

If they haven't already made it through the pathways by that age then it's simple, they're not good enough

Should only be 19-22 year olds

I guess that sometimes life gets in the way for people and they don't have a chance to go through the age systems. Lots of sports, even the NRL have stories of players who went down the wrong path, or because of family or other things wern't able to commit to sports in earlier on, only to become professionals at an older age. You're probably not gunna find the next JT or Inglis, but you could definitely get 2-5 years of solid service out of a player at a decent enough price too

I hope David's bits will be unblurred on next week's show!

Even though I put plus 20 on my IQ recording I missed the end of the show because Origin goes on forever. Can anyone tell me who was eliminated?

probably the dumbest thing ever written on this forum.
think about it, jeeez

Matt Gorman.

Thanks for that, I thought it would be him.

Pretty sure Nine aren't going to show meat and 2 veg at 7:30 on a family show. It isn't PornHub.

How is he wrong? If someone that age is good enough they would have made it the normal way, they've had plenty of opportunity. How many 28 year olds do you see debut in the NRL each year? Or even in NSW Cup...

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Jordan Martin is clearly the best prospect on this show.

[mozza91]

Nathan Ross made his debut just short of his 27th birthday and he is essentially god.

Is he allowed too? Thought it was part of the shows criteria they couldn't be.
Although I suppose all the filming (apart from the final) is finished.

It'd be boring though if he ends up winning and gets a Parra contract.
