Round 25 Discussion

The raiders have been ordinary to say the least here tonight
Roosters are just making them pay with every opportunity

 

[Foordy]

hmmm, next weekend i have the choice between watching the NRL finals or going camping.

I think this will be the easiest decision of my life.

 

[Mightybroncs2k17]

What the actual f*ck.

So the roosters get told if they captain challenge a bloke getting draged into touch they will lose because clearly he went into touch.

So the roosters challenge it anyway showing the player going into touch and the roosters retain there challenge???

 

[mrslong]

The raiders are so awful tho hey. Probably should move rapana to fullback

 

[Bull Shark]

This will be the view from the NRL judiciary, every Wednesday evening in 2022…

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Appropriate end to Canberra's season. They have been basically dogshit all year and would have been classic 8th place roadkill in Week 1.

I don't think we will hear Robinson saying anything about the Circus Music playing in the bunker tonight, but I think it was on Teddy's pump-up playlist before the game. What an absolute farcical challenge. Honestly, isn't that process meant to make the game faster? Ref should have simply said "No, go away" and if Teddy didn't go away he marches them 10m for arguing with the ref. The whole thing just benefited Rorters.

(Ach, the presser isn't properly uploaded yet. So, I had to scan through to see Robinson)

Haha suck shit Raiders.

Titans will learn their fate tomorrow night. If Sharks win, they won't be playing finals. If they lose, all Titans need to do is beat the Warriors.

Beat the warriors by a certain amount, they are 23 p/d behind the sharks, so if Melbourne beat the Sharks by 23 then any win will do which isn't a sure thing (although still likely) with Melbourne resting half their squad.

Titans making the finals is exactly what the NSWRL want... and is probably what they promised Mal when they were bidding against themselves to overpay Fifita.

Throw in a little storm minor premiership for the new rugba leeg heartland of Melbourne and Vlando and co will be quite pleased with themselves and the little script they’ve put together for 2021.

Of course they need Penrith to somehow win in October so they can roll back six agains to a less blatant farce, but head puppet Sutton will likely be ref in the GF to make sure it all goes according to plan... might even throw Henry back into the box as a redemption story

Also I was listening to the Triple M coverage briefly on my way home last night, it was probably around the 60 minute mark, right when one of the Raiders' was penalised for a strip but the replay clearly showed it was a loose carry (not the one where Whitehead challenged it). One of the commentators said something along the lines of "The Raiders have been absolutely hammered by the refs tonight" and then he must have realised what he said and added "oh but they have been awful themselves" and all the rest joined in "yeah yeah yeah / own worst enemies / too many mistakes / the pressure got to them". Which was true, they were pretty awful... AFTER the refs had destroyed them mercilessly and made it clear that there was only one team that the NRL wanted to win in that game.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Friendly reminder that this Melbourne team have both B. Smith and Grant in the same side and neither of them have signed elsewhere as of yet lol farce

 

[Wolfie]

What was Olam supposed to do there?

 

[Galah]

Hia lol! Storm and roosters started this shit

 

[Galah]

Ummm what? If that’s the broncs that’s a second effort

 

[Harry Sack]

Cracking try to the Sharks that one.

 

[Wolfie]

Grant with some blatant milking, then some outstanding dummy half play.

OHHHH Really?
