I intend to post in this thread every week with discussion on those weird little moments witnessed during the footy weekend.

Feel free to post any RL moments you witness during the round, that has made you raise a quizzable eyebrow. As this is League talk, please keep the discussion solely to League.



Those boots boys!; Alex Glenn and Willie Tonga...WTF!? Crazy Fluro orange and gangsta fluro yellow. Definitely make it easy to know who's who from the other end of the field. Thumbs up to DT who has not only gone back to the traditional black boots, even the logo on his boots is black!

Pink and proud; The ref's shirts....um, yes quite gay however they stand out from every jersey in the NRL. I actually hope they wear these all season with maybe something different for Rep games.

Did you say steak?; Haven't some of our NRL stars packed on the beef in the off season!? Inglis is massive and with his new "curls get girls" haircut and 5 day growth, I thought he was Ruben Wiki! Jarrad Hayne has had a pie too many in the off-season as well, however unlike Inglis who uses his new found size to his advantage, Hayne simply looks unfit.

Suck and suckerer; On Hayne; how do you take a crap player and make him even worse? LOLZ, play him at 5/8th! Silly move IMO, he has neither the running or passing game to be there. He has (maybe had before he found the buffet) pace, he's a finisher and IMO should stay outside backs.

Where did that come from?; Souths! Jebus I just didn't see that coming! Well done, however I hope they can back it up. It's good to see Asostasi play in a winning side for once.

I got chu' punk!; Sandow not only got the gold over Pierce today, but did anyone see him line him up and smash him in the second half? Pierce wasn't seen again that game and after today, I can only pray NSW select him in 3 months time.

Mad dog and Englishmen; Titans v Knights....at 1 pm in Queensland? What winner came up with this timeslot? If it was for TV audience, surely it would make more sense to play the QLD game second...not to mention TV ratings.

Who let them out?; Whilst we all knew it'd be tough on the poor little Eagles following the late nights binge drinking and beating women, I'm sure nobody expected that big a pummelling. The thing that got me is whilst Ennis, Kimmorley and the pack played well, it was the kids (much like the Broncos game) that stole the show. Jamal (last name spelling unknown) and Goodwin who have me worried. Let's hope bad things happen to this brought team or else they will be a very real premiership threat.

To be fair to the NRL, I do believe you were the only person at Suncorp Stadium who couldn't distinguish who was confused by the three Hog's Breath Pigs!
 
Can someone please supply the Eels with drawstrings for their shorts?

I've never seen so many arses from a single team, and no sir, I don't like it.

Yeah what's the go with Inglis? He's put on 6kg and he actually looks fats. Not toned, not muscle but fat. He doesn't look fit at all but it didn't seem to impact his performance. But why the 6kg? He was already 100kg, he already dominated the game at his previous weight so what was the point in packing on 6kg? Was it on purpose or unintentional? Strange if you ask me.

He wouldn't have put on fat, Melbourne's fitness and training system is pretty hardcore and would have been monitoring his weight gain and skin folds very closely.

As for the weight gain, put it this way: which would hurt more, 106kg of super fast, super strong Inglis coming at you, or 100kg of super fast, super strong Inglis coming at you?

6kgs over the course of a pre-season (albeit shortened due to WC) is a good gain, and I doubt Inglis would have lost any speed. Sucks to be any centre when Melbourne find a true 5/8.

This was awesome and rad at the same time.
 
What's a chicken wing tackle?

Pretty much the highlight of the Storm/Dragons game for me.

Obviously didn't see the picky of Inglis in the Courier Mail with his shirt off in the off-season eh. I did, and it's not fat [icon_shady 8-)

The hilight for me was Anthony Quinn playing the ball the wrong way.... [icon_lol1.

How about Colin Best's unintenional trysaver on Sam Perrett - he fell sideways off the tackle on Soliola and in doing so his body took out Perrett's legs and took him over the sideline!
