Worst NRL game ever?

The worst NRL game ever is still better than anything the AFL, sokka or Rugerby can offer me to watch.

The Panthers/Parra game would have to be a strong candidate for worst game of the season.

Did anyone watch the whole game?

I gave up after a while you could see where it was heading......

You can just get these types of games at this stage of the season with teams out of contention and missing players.

While the playing conditions are a factor, it is more about players not be mentally switched on.

I don't see it as a argument against expansion.

It is possibly an argument for strengthening the NSW Cup / QLD cup competitions and giving clubs more depth.

The players on the paddock should have performed better, but this can happen in any sport the problem is not restricted to the NRL.

It is much worse when your team is involved, and even worse if you are at the game, when you feel like leaving after the U20's ..... you know it is a bad season.:D

If you switched over to the Rugby....the first half was way worse..

I didn't switch over to Rugby... but I am not surprised, it can be a boring game a lot of the time.

I think it is good to play, just boring to watch ... most of the time.

The first Raiders v Tigers game last year was a real stinker. Mcrone, Campo and Buttriss at the peak of their powers.

Broncos v Sharks round 2 was one of the worst this year.

Mistakes can be frustrating but the horrible thing about the Cowboys/tigers game was that there wasn't many mistakes. It was purely one out footy for 80 minutes. The one try came in the 78th minute from a miskick that rebounded off about 4 sets of legs. Apart from that there didn't even look like a try being scored. After the game Paul green said he told his team at halftime that their 2-0 lead was probably enough to win the game. Enough said.

Only time I have ever wanted my money back after going to a game.

Seen worse but yeah..not a good advert for expansion.

Poor game to give Darwin, also showed the depth pool is shallow.

.

I don't agree with that. I think the salary cap is broken because teams at the bottom half of the table can't blood guys who aren't in there top 25 unless those in the top 25 are unavailable.

Maybe they need to look at working out how to make the salary cap take in all 3 grades, or have something like 50 players in the top grade salary cap, those not making it will be playing at a lower level anyhow, just means if things aren't working out, they can blood those guys properly without having that 2nd tier salary cap stopping them.

Parra weren't exactly at full strength either. Penrith have been incredibly unlucky with injuries this year though. Glad I missed this match!
