Grant Atkins

He is either having a howler or he’s on the take and he’s not even hiding it

This has to be the worst GF I have ever watched

This is so boring. Glad we don’t have day light savings and still early for us.

 

[Gaz]

What a shit game of football.

 

[Sproj]

That almost never happens though, because no team is going to give up a young star for nothing. The destination team (top 4 team) has all the bargaining power once again.

Getting draft picks as part of the trade doesn't help at all. All that happens is you draft another young gun and spend 2 years training him up to play for Geelong, who'll give you their draft pick so you can do it again.

It is nowhere near as common as you are implying. GWS is a basketcase and Brisbane hasn't lost any kid it has wanted to keep since Schache and he's a total bust anyway. The Suns have lost Rankine but he's going to get them at least pick 5. Outside of that, even Melbourne has lost their star 21 year old and they were the defending premier. The system isn't perfect but it id much better than the nothing the NRL has.

Who is in the bunker tonight?

I heard it was Super Freak but reading the rule book isn’t an actual qualification

Imagine if it was the Cows getting toweled up like this, how good?

Super human running

A lot of people out there saying this Penrith team is potentially the best ever.

Broncos 1998 shit all over this Penrith team. Put the Broncos 1998 in the six again free for all era and they are +1000 to end the season.

 

[vertigo]

Jesus christ. How was that a penalty?

Lynch, May, Prestia, Cameron, Treloar, Adams, Shiel, Steele, Saad, Dickson, Hall, O'Meara and many others I'm forgetting. Taranto and Rankine so far this trade period.

The Lions lost all their young stars in one off-season and it took them 5 years to recover.

The Roosters would be in heaven if a draft was brought in, would suit their recruitment style to a tee.

 

[winslow_wong]

The comebacks on.

 

[Cult]

The Storm losing when the NRL crackdown on rules. The Panthers getting scored against when the refs stop manipulating the game. It’s the same thing.

 

[holdzy]

Greg Alexander was half back in a team that had to beat Mal, Ricky, Daley and Lazarus.

This Panthers team is something special but I'm sorry, it doesn't compare to that era.

The cleary’s go back to back. Dare to dream Walters’
