NRL General Discussion Thread - 2016

[Brett]

If the Sunday Footy show pisses you off don't ever, ever watch the Thursday one. It is complete garbage.

I haven't watched it since about 2009.

They've actually spent more time talking about TAB Sportsbet with Joel Caine than they have reviewing the games.

Honestly, I'm really disappointed. They didn't even talk about the Brisbane vs NQ game at all.

I have Foxtel. I usually watch NRL 360 when I can, which is pretty good. Anything else I should watch out for?

Despite how much Fletch and Hindy crap that's on the Matty Johns shows, they at least talk about Footy for most of the show.

The Titans were fined a whole 5k for having an extra man on the field

So the NRL fined themselves then ?

Interesting this Will Hopoate thing of not playing on Sundays from here on... If he sticks true to this, imo he becomes unsignable.. Or at least not for anywhere near whatever his current contract is worth ..

Pretty much, there's a period of time leading up to origin where he won't play an NRL game for something like 36 days straight, due to not playing on Sunday's and rep round etc.

^ and what is the point of having a guy who's effectively ruled out of ever playing the very game that the everyone involved in football strives to be in?!

Im saying all this from a purely football point of view.. Good on him for being so devout to his faith

Hehe.. Be interesting to see if there is a sudden dearth of Sunday games for the Bulldogs when next year's draw comes out

 

[Kimlo]

Wait a minute, is this not playing on Sunday thing for real???

Considering he has been playing on Sundays already, I sincerely doubt he'll miss a GF for it.

Yeah the article came off as a bit of a joke, ha ha he's a christian ha ha. There's no way he'd play rugby league if he didn't want to "work" on Sundays.
