NRL General Discussion Thread

Imagine being so bad as a club, that someone who plays for the Knights thinks they can give you shit too.

Someone posted that comment on r/nrl in a response to the footage of Gamble and Doueihi squaring up, them some random rugby league related Facebook page posted the image of it, with that text overlayed.

In conclusion, I highly doubt he really said that.

Gamble seems a big enough **** on the field, doesn't take too much of an imagination stretch, does it?

Players only do shit like that these days because they know they are very unlikely to get a punch in the mouth. Ennis was exactly the same. I highly doubt you would have seen players doing stuff like that before this no punch rule came in or these blokes would have ended up like Ben Ross after Gordy got him.

Luai, Feldt, yeah. I get the impression Gamble would still be lippy even if he knew he'd cop one.

Not sure if anyone else saw this, but seriously….what a bizzare article?! I mean everyone knows it’s going on, but it’s a well known open secret.

Ye Gould will flip-flop and retroactively reinterpret his way to always being right without fail. Captain Hindsight! I'm sure he has spoken about "player safety coming first" and probably also has encouraged his players to adopt the different tackling styles that lead to slower rucks while...

Interview with Annesley

one of the most frustrating interviews I've heard in a while. I don't even want to begin...

Graham Annesley: We hope the rule changes aren't noticed - ABC Radio

The NRL's Head of Football Graham Annesley says the success of the rule changes brought in this season will be measured by how little fans notice them. The main changes are meant to stop players infringing. He told Andrew Moore and the team that in an ideal world referees will be able to stay...

Queensland launching another bid to have the GF in QLD.

Apparently there is no deal for NSW to host it this year.

Not a fan. Few things we shouldn't mess with. GF should stay in Sydney, Origins should only be played in QLD/NSW. Even in 2015, flying down for it made it feel like more of a special event. Even Webcke said it when he was playing, it being in Sydney makes it better.

Vlandys isn’t giving it to QLD, this is just wasted time and money.

Yep................. just all about trying to squeeze more dollars out of NSW.

Interesting thing I picked up in 5 tackles with Gus this week, he explained why Bulldogs don't play regularly at Belmore despite the fact they get way more attendance there then at Homebush, there is no corporate hospitality so they can't make any money and the extra tickets won't make up for it no matter what.

Kinda explains why when they built Parra stadium, one entire side of the stadium is basically corporate.

How could the Rorters POSSIBLY be over the cap, c'mon guys, it's the KULCHA, the club makes you a better person, and did you know Robbo speaks French at home? Nevermind that Uncle Nick is one of the best visionaries in the game (thanks Vlandys, puke) and has a paper bag business on his golf course, that's all beside the point.
