What an abomination of a game. The NRL right now just isnt watchable.

Will be interesting to see how many players Melbourne loses for the ....

From Canada, lives in NZ, loves the Warriors.

**** you Wayne, **** you JD - look who just beat Melbourne?!

 

[BroncsFan]

Its rewarded more in this sport at the moment

Yeah I think this is correct.

In soccer they dive all the time, but they're rarely rewarded compared to the level that they dive... NRL every time you dive you're rewarded.

 

[Brocko]

Legitimately the only downside of tonight is that Seibs will be happy. He deserves misery.

Oh and the quality of footy sucked, of course

Ehhh Storm lost, its somewhat watchable.

I only caught the last twenty or so, but I thought Manly were rewarded for their patience. It would have been easy for them to go full tilt, but they just kept probing the Storm line and playing for field position. They got the timing wrong on their set-plays, but they didn't give away the penalty or throw the desperation pass, they just played it smart knowing they had the four point lead.

It eventually took it's toll on the Storm. The game was there when Olam turned the ball over deep in Manly's corner. That was the moment for the Storm defence to muscle up but the Sea Eagles really did a great job of working it out and DCE nailed the kick. Then in response, Paseka bounces off of Welch to put Croker into space. DCE gets to put an attacking kick up, Coates makes the mistake and Paseka once again puts the finishing touches in.

I'd have to go back and watch the earlier 60 minutes because the scoreboard was definitely a factor, but it just seemed like Manly completely out-muscled Melbourne. The loss of Asofa-Solomona took it's toll and Manly did well to turn it into a slogfest.

Is there any aspect of someone's game more overrated in the history of Rugby League than Xavier Coates and the high ball? I don't think I've seen him catch one since his debut which he has been dining out on his whole career.

Hope he keeps dropping them and getting overpaid to do so.

Is it actually though? See just as much stuff about soft free kicks being inconsistent and favouring certain teams and whatnot.

The only 2 matches I've watched in full I was being paid to work at the GF . Can't stand it

With you on that one bro. A match made in heaven.

It has it's issues for sure and of course these are the wrong fans to try and convert BUT honestly, the NRL could learn so much about how that organisation runs things.

A case in point, they had an issue with players ducking their heads to get soft free kicks, so they came out and said anyone ducking their head gets hit high, it is too bad and play on. Stamped out diving quick smart.
