NRL 2023 Round 1 Discussion

Oh look how quickly he gets up

 

[Organix]

Wighton is so loose

 

[GCBRONCO]

Ricky did tell them they have to move forward right?

 

[jd87]

soo a win is a win for the cows but for all the talk of them being a premiership threat they just scrapped through with a win against a team that could probably not play any worse.

no idea what to make of either teams hopes this year

 

[Big Pete]

Cowboys lost their way in the shadows of half-time but showed their class to go set to set when the game was nearly out of their grasp. Taulagi and Holmes especially just did so well during that period when Canberra had their noses infront.

In the end Wighton decided to go all or nothing on a rookie centre filling in on the wing in his first game back from a long lay off. That was always going to be risky and it didn't go the Raiders way. Cowboys once again showed their class and Townsend never looked like missing. Did I miss the Raiders wasting a challenge? I'm honestly shocked they didn't challenge the wall from Taumalolo.

A lot of controversy again especially from the independant doctor. I thought both teams were lucky to keep 13 on the field for the entire game, both Rapana and Feldt looked like they got away with some suss tackles.

Ultimately, I thought it made for a quality game of footy, the season has started really well.

Well here we go @Sproj I do not rate tricky Trindall at all, but you seem to include him in every possible future halves list created.

If he's anything he might be able to show something against a top 4 contender in Souths... heading up a top 4 contender team in Sharks.

How will he go?

I'm going to be giving him a real close eye to see if he has anything that I'm seemingly missing.

 

[BroncsFan]

That's the risk of having a right arm carry on the left wing... Ronaldo absolutely bombing a certain try

 

[Harry Sack]

Ronaldo smiling before he puts it down is fucking everything. Never celebrate too early chump

 

[Big Pete]

Big start from Reynolds' replacement.

It's odd that nobody mentioned anything about Murray going for a Rugby style ruck. I've never seen a player pick their team mate off the ground and drive them over before.

 

[BroncsFan]

Ooooo Trindall with a 40/20... interesting

totally. It will be interesting to see both teams develop

Yeah, that was weird and the one shark player couldn't get at Ilias

 

[Harry Sack]

Excellent 40/20

 

[Bull Shark]

The crowd at the southern end of Shark Park always looks full of wax-heads & fin-dicks.. like the ‘mucca mad boys’

 

[Big Pete]

Did I say ruck? I meant maul.

Trindall 40/20 and denied a try assist...

I was thinking vid ref should've taken a look at it... Finucane was denied a chance to get to Ilias because Murray continued his run forward.

Mick Ennis used to get penalised as a dummy half for running forward and taking markers out

 

[Super Freak]

How that Souths try was a try is baffling.

What Murray does literally denies the Sharks a chance to try and stop the try.

 

[Organix]

That looked fine. Wow

 

[ZTop]

That was forward out of the hands
