NRL 2024 NRL FINALS WEEK 1

[Kav1]

No- I think Penrith, storm, cowboys and manly all win.
I’ll be wrong though…

Manly only team to beat team above it on the ladder. Pity Tommy Turbo having to play with a busted shoulder; only a shadow of his classy best

 

[Kav1]

JFH is a good get but is output in minimal.

Leadership will be good but can’t replace AFB

I disagree - he has a major impact and a uniting influence(unlike AFB who sometimes acted in his own interests rather than the teams)

 

[Kav1]

It's probably us, life in general has lost it's buzz along with the team.

Stick with it. The Roosters and Sharks were well beaten in their respective games and ripe for the picking. I am looking forward to seeing how the cowboys and sea eagles fare against teams crushed by the top two.

 

[Kav1]

I didn’t see Andrew John and the old boys but Nathan Cleary is on another planet and has been for a very long time.

Will retire as the greatest footballer ever in my mind.

I disagree; of the current crop, Kayln Ponga has exceptional skills while playing in an otherwise average team. His game against the Cowboys was all class, making regular line breaks which his team mates failed to capitalize on.

 

[Kav1]

Warbrick, Mulitalo, Isaako.....good depth on the wings for the Kiwis at least.

Unfortunately, Warbrick and Isaako both play right wing and Isaako will get the nod for his top notch goal kicking. Could Warbrick be converted to a centre as he has the build for it and can pass the ball to inside support? Also would be positioned outside Hughes (a Storm team mate)

 

[Kav1]

Tom Trbjovich looks like one of the most overpaid players these days

Playing with one shoulder with a needle or two does not help.

 

[Kav1]

Massive issue with coaches playing injured players.

Turbo is at best 50% and letting his team down big time.

Wait for the result; class will win through in the end.

 

[Kav1]

How on earth do the Dogs loose this

Divine intervention?

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Wait for the result; class will win through in the end.

Top call mate!

 

[Noitall]

Playing with one shoulder with a needle or two does not help.

Don’t think he has the impact he once did and the amount of games he misses each season for $1.2 million is a lot. I don’t believe he approached manly unassisted, but that rumour of him asking for a pay decrease shows it’s in the back of his or the clubs mind? Most likely the club I’d imagine
