Round 6 Discussion

[I bleed Maroon]

This is just unbelievable. Penrith were untouchable for 65 minutes then as soon as they give away that stupid penalty try, it's been all Cronulla

 

[Alec]

Good to see a choke that doesn't go against my tips for once haha.

 

[BroncosAlways]

anyone know why Townsend is kicking for the Sharks and not Johnson

His injury I would assume, wouldn't want to potentially worsen it.

 

[broncsgoat]

Sharks 11 has some great speed and footwork too.

Nikora, breaks the line at will. Killing it in SuperCoach

 

[broncsgoat]

Sharks were still pretty bad. Panthers just imploded

FMD I hope we ambush Canberra on Sunday cause the Sharks are primed to be beaten

Grabbed my first NRL Hotshot win of the season thanks to that Duges try, sweet. Will probably only be $5-10, but better than a slap in the face.

Sharks 1-12
Anytime try scorers - Dugan, Xerri, Blake

Is xerri as fast as Roberts?

 

[BroncosAlways]

Is xerri as fast as Roberts?

At 18 he's certainly got the potential to get there with the right sprint coaching. Doesn't have near the muscle mass Jimmy has though obviously.

 

[Jedhead]

Is xerri as fast as Roberts?

Despite Jimmy having tendinitis he'd still burn this kid even after a night of carry outy.

I feel like they may be similar over 20 metres, but from try line to try line at full pace with no injuries, Jimmy beats him by half a second I reckon.

Panthers can feel hard done by for their no try. Johnson wraps his arms around the decoy runner.

 

[Unbreakable]

Also, where the **** did the Sharks pull this Nikora kid from? He's like a better version of David Fifita from what I've seen this year, he's got the speed of an elite outside back, great tackle busting ability, very solid defensively, can play the full 80 every week without his impact waning...

Arguably just as skillful as well, did you guys see that full speed chip he put in last night for Townsend? Fucking brilliant.

No Try every day for mine. Hits the outside shoulder. If you're going to run decoys, get your lines right.

 

[Unbreakable]

Definitely a no try, you can see the extra time that Cleary has to fake the pass to put the outside defenders in two minds before he passes, wouldn't had half as much time to do that if SJ was up on him, and Xerri wouldn't have had to come in. Was Kikau's fault, he had to punch through the line, not jog and decrease his speed as he's getting to the defensive line.

 

[Alec]

I dunno if Johnson "dives" there or just goes to actually tackle the Panthers player, but these obstruction rulings are so flawed because that would have been a try for sure regardless.

 

[tommy]

Have seen the burgesses walking off the mark a few times. And when the Dogs try to stop them they get penalized. Is this a Wayne Bennett fairytale year?
