NRL 2024 Round 1 Discussion

[BroncsFan]

They didnt want to have to explain a double movement to the US audience.

They're probably more confused at that try, because in NFL you are done as soon as your knee or elbow touches the ground

What a start to the round!! Now let’s go Bronx…

I wish the guy with his finger on the button for the smoke machines would bugger off. If we have a good night and score a few we won't be able to see.

 

[Browny]

So double movements are dead now

 

[broncsgoat]

I called that a try… he did promote the ball but his whole body was moving

 

[Bronx48]

Teddy put on some weight

Roof is closed, smoke always settles at ground level

The crowd and the stadium amazing

 

[JayPee]

Alot of people dont know what a double movement is. The league is finally getting these decisions right and people are still complaining.

@JayPee - article on Zero Tackle saying Chester is being shopped around in England. Thoughts?

Fine with me. I dont think he is very good. Other people do though so he will probably get an opportunity somewhere and some more coin.

According to the early mail, Ethan Strange is going to get first crack at 5/8 for Raiders partnering Fogarty in the halves.

Rapana at fullback and Levi playing 9.

He's not an NRL standard fullback.

 

[Nashy]

He's not NRL standard unless he's somehow grown a football brain in the off-season.

Well Wayne is pretty old and wouldn't be surprising if he is starting to.. He also hasn't won a comp in like 15 years. He also has trended down with all three of the last clubs he has left, so not a great recent record to fall back on.

Team-lists are in, and I'd be curious to see how they'd stack up against some of your predicted line-ups Sproj. Granted, you weren't necessarily picking for Round 1, but I thought they were largely close to the money based on the info we had at that time.

Looking through some of these teams, I'm not really seeing any crazy selections.
