CROSS FORUM NRL 2023 Round 8 Discussion

[Foordy]

Not a very enjoyable affair so far

looks to be the second game of the afternoon featuring two bottom 8 teams

 

[Waynesaurus]

Tigers are just awful.

 

[Foordy]

The Tigers will be the only team this season to lose (in regular time) the week after the bye

 

[BroncsFan]

That is shit from Brooks... turned in on Cherry when it was obviously going to Turbo or Olakuatu... looked a weak effort to avoid having to make a tackle

I'm sure Sheens will change his spine again next week, in a bid to give Brooks his 800th chance

You're right... must've been poor communication from the debutant fullback... Sheenius better dump him back to cup

You know what fair enough, I'll recognise the achievement for what it is, well done Dolphins As for an expansion side having no business being settled in the top 8 after a third of the season, Storm funnily enough were 2nd on the ladder at that stage or there abouts, they made the eight that year. Maybe they might reproduce that.

Dont really remember much about that inaugural Storm side and who was in it apart from Kimmorley, Kearns, Hill and Lazzo, but them finishing 3rd was a very impressive achievment.

Melbourne were an offshoot of Super League and gained all the players from Perth and Hunter who were now defunct. They had guys like Lazo, Noddy, Bai, Hill, Geyer etc. They had massive advantages that most expansion franchises don't enjoy.

Redcliffe are a team of misfits, has beens and never will be's. Yet they are still hanging around. They have massive deficiencies and have no business winning a single game. Yet they may win enough to clinch a playoff berth. It's a real feel good RL story in the making.

 

[Foordy]

lol Brooks

 

[Allo]

Brooks is so bad

 

[BroncsFan]

Is Turbo going to get picked for origin at the moment?

He is looking well underdone compared to where he usually is... weather isn't helping today, but he's not even trying to stretch out at the moment

He looks afraid his body is going to break down

[BroncsFan]

Looks like Sheenius has spent the bye round practicing wrap-arounds... seen about 10 at least so far

I swear every second tackle in the NrL is a hipdrop except they choose to pick and penalise only certain ones
