Pene looks OK...looks to be a bit lightweight mind you for a front rower.

Yeah I keep thinking he’s a second rower - I guess you could say he looks athletic

Thought that too when he hits the line there isn’t much impact, he does seem to make ok meters tho

Walker folded by Olam.

[Galah]

I’d love to see the view from a distance to see how far offside olam was. Has traveled from Centre to in front of Bromwich to hit walker as he’s catching the ball.


yeah onside get fucked, **** this shit. Nrl is nrl because of two things tackle count and 10m and one hasn’t counted for certain team for a long time.

There's a reason why the NRL stopped the tv stations bringing in the virtual 10 metre line and the wide angle is never used. I think you'd find a strong correlation between winning percentages and teams not maintaining an ACTUAL 10 metres without penalty

Pretty disgusting what the Chooks are doing with Walker.

We all know a skinny school boy needs managing, they are burning the kid out in the way Sheens broke Marshall at the start of his career.

Really piss poor when you look at how carefully the Warriors are managing Reece Walsh.

Melbourne are just all flops and laying in the play-the-ball, but because it's "how they play" the refs let them get away with it. Other team, us in particular, are being told to get off the moment "held" is called, but they're given an extra 2-3 seconds, peel off one at a time, others that weren't involved in the tackle push down on their team-mate lying over it so they take an extra couple of seconds. teams are being refereed differently, there is no doubt.

Got to keep the game growing in Vic. Watched the first 20, got a better offer and off the football went. Not shattered that the Roosters lost as thats a point, just sad that MELBOURNE WON.

So what was the better offer, enquiring minds need to know? Also asking for a friend?

The NRL is absolutely banking on a Storm Panthers GF. What we need to look out for now are the patsies, teams that will get a seemingly golden run to the finals, cruise through to week 3, only to be blown away by Melbourne & Penrith one game short of the GF. Teams like the Eels & Rabbitohs, who can blow teams off the park, then lose by 40. And we'll say "that's just how the NRL is this year, even good teams can get thrashed if they have an off day".

Put your money on a Penrith premiership, like I've been saying, with such a shallow talent pool, the NRL needs to pretend there is an upside to developing talent.

Get on Melbourne to beat Roosters this week.

An alarming stat shows in the past 9 months, the Roosters are 0 from 7 against top 5 teams and have conceded over double the amount of points they have scored.

nailed it

Everyone thinks the 6 again rule is great until they come up against this shit.

No one thinks it’s great, only the un educated when it comes to footy do.

worst rule ever created, no thought went into it. Created by a fucking sly slime ball dodgy fucking human in v’landys.

No, no many praised it when it arrived. I was strongly against it and was downvoted to hell on reddit for pointing out its now obvious flaws. Many on the r/NRL are still for it, but the brains trust there was (is) mushy.

My god the second efforts the storm do on the 1st and 4th tackles…(shock horror) just nothing from the ref, professional cheats new rules to break woohooooo let’s do it guyssss this will be fun!

I hate both teams passionately so this is middle ground viewing.

It’s just crap viewing, all the little things they get away with that us nrl diehards can see, yet nothing is done about it

Melbourne needed to be good for AFL-land incursion. Plainly and simply given leg ups from day 1.

Storm are just so fucking good.

I thought they would struggle without Smith and maybe they still will. But fucking hell, life without him has been good so far.

Which ultimately lead to Melbourne gaining supreme confidence and trust in their team and their system. You see the opposite in the Broncos since Bennett left. No trust in the system leads to no trust in the player next to them, leads to shit footy.

Penrith are currently benefiting from a very helpful 2020 season. Go back and look at the games they won by providence and were on the back of some "interesting" decisions, THEN compare that to the Broncos 2020 season.

Sports psychology is a real thing and so is having a ref bias.


Haha sorry for the preempt post. still waiting on a decent app. Mobile site is killing me

 

[Foordy]

Looks like the Roosters are still in the premiership race ... they only conceded 46 points

I live in Victoria these days, still have my other house in brisbane so don’t hate me!! But no one and I really do mean no one in my area give a flying **** about the storm, it’s laughable. I’ve been in and out of this state for many years and no one knows anything about that team apart from (oh yeah, we won the comp again) it’s achieving nothing. If belly stayed at the broncos he’d literally be a god! Yet for all his success and (cheating) he’s still only an after thought in Victoria land.

sad AF and a massive waste, as it’s achieved nothing, no home grown talent a pathetic “one” city team fan base. As soon as they start losing (which will happen eventually) you watch what happens.

it’s still going to fail.

#ive had a couple did I rant in the wrong spot?
