Rd 6 2017 - NRL General Non-Warriors Thread

[Blair]

It'll be interesting to see how Uncle Ive goes with that rabble he's inherited. Away at Townsville is a tough ask at the best of times. If the Tigers win on Saturday night it'd be a massive, yet not untypical, new coach bounce.

The Storm should see off their 2016 GF opponents, the Sharks, in Melbourne. That frantic final thirty seconds of last year's decider might still haunt the likes of Cronk, Smith, Vunivalu, et al, though. One more pass, another jink from a Fijian Flyer, whatever it should've been, the Storm knew they blew it.

And when that moment's gone, it's gone forever.

Tonight, Broncs at home to Chooks. Both sides fancy going all the way this year.

Moga having a shocker!
Then the ref steps up with a terrible forward pass call!
Can't pick a forward pass normally then just make one up!

Warriors need to watch that McCulloch play, never give up!

There was a lot of open play from both sides too, but particularly the Broncos.

Entertaining to watch

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Pretty good game overall

I don't usually drink this 'craft beer' stuff but did last night, it was 6% alcohol, slightly higher than normal*. Anyway, Friday night, I'm tired, sozzled and on-the-nod before the end of Penriff v Souffs game.

*shameful for a Warriors fan, I know.

Cleary put up a number of 'towering bombs' that 'terrorised' the opposition wingers. Can't wait till May 13th, a game I'll be at.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Wow, Manly forgot how to defend, guys running out of the line, falling off tackles. Why aren't we playing them this week!

 

[jaseg]

See the first try? LOL. Someone's gotta get sacked. Bunker? On field refs? Everyone?

It's a bit of a boilover, considering Manly's recent form, the fact they're at home, and the score's blowing out at 24-6.

Edit. 35-10 final. Manly's bubble has burst.

Big Konnie's back for the Titans. I hope he has a ripper.

 

[jaseg]

Another big fella we could have signed doing well on Titans debut now... Pat Vaivai

Rapana must've grown up impressionable in 2007 watching Logan Swann.

Pass.The.Ball.And.It's.A.Try, mate.

Sticky looking filthy on the sideline.

 

[Benek]

Not missing Konnie Hurrell at all. He looks like Josh Thomson trying to play footy.

ABC commentators were giving him big wraps, including for his defence?

Glad we're not playing the Tigers tonight, they've come out of their circus cage predictably murderous.

14-0.

Luck talking about Elijah Taylor with a tinge of misty-eyed nostalgia, can't blame him there, they were good times.

Wait till the Kereru hits the pubs in Aus...then you'll know craft beer

 

[Big Marn]

And Tigers win. Of course they do.
Though they were Warrior-esque in the second half in their attempt to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
It took JT breaking his leg (or something bad like that) to get them over the line.
Welcome Uncle Ivan back to NRL. More grey hairs.....

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Ivan turned that around quickly!

Ivan turned that around quickly!

I hope we win tomorrow for the sake of Penrose Warrior's neighbours! Knowing how he feels about us taking a pass on Uncle Ivan 2.0.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

I got a bad feeling about this one!
Foran and Eels walkout could have them fired up.
