NRL 2024 NRL FINALS WEEK 1

[run_it_str8_again]

Panthers development programme has payed off for years, most of this team has played and won comps together since they were kids... thats what we got to do folks...

Our juniors won their comp this season so the structure is in place.

 

[BigUCE]

Wow!

 

[Tragic]

Gummon Sharks!

 

[Tragic]

Drug cheats vs salary cap cheats. Classic aussie sport.

 

[Aman 2.0]

the storm would lose more than half thier games if they were reffed fairly.

Get away with murder every week

 

[Tragic]

He's as legendary as this modern age gets. It's hard to compare different generations but Cleary is a gun

John's did it dragging the knights with him, although he had Chief, buderus gidley etc. Cleary has a better team around him but have seen him drag the Panthers to a win, he just didn't have to do it every week like John's did. If my memory serves me right John's would have a better origin record.

Man the Storm get away with so much in the ruck.

Bellamy legacy, ruining the game with his ruck interference, chicken wings and wrestling

 

[Tragic]

That was a great ball from nicho

 

[Aman 2.0]

Man the Storm get away with so much in the ruck.

They just hold on, don’t release and constantly crowd the ptb.

It’s fucked that the refs won’t call multiple infringements against them.

I’ll be honest. I think Bellamy knows that he can control the tempo if he controls the ruck. Let the ref call 6 agains and penalties, he doesn’t give a fuck. He knows the ref can’t keep doing it but they can.

Eventually they end up winning the entire contest because they refuse to play fair.

They make their own rules and the nrl don’t do shit about it.

Also watch them hook their arms into the ball carrying hand in the tackle. Means they have to "untangle" their arms out slowing the ruck even more. Not sure if this is legal or not but I see this more in Storm games than others.

What about strategically standing in the defensive line on kick returns so defenders can’t get a fair grab.

There’s just so much to their overall game.

Every single aspect geared to give themselves an advantage but it only works because the refs allow it.

 

[Gods_17]

Hughes v Hynes… asshole v asshole

Nah MTD, Jahrome's a pest. A Very Good NZ Kiwi pest, haha!

 

[Aman 2.0]

cmon touchie you gotta call that.

 

[Aman 2.0]

One thing is for sure.

Hynes is the biggest chocker in the NRL.

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

One thing is for sure.

Hynes is the biggest chocker in the NRL.

I would have played Atkinson and Trindall in the halves for the Sharks. Hynes can be really good but just goes missing way to much.

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Wow great try!

 

[snake77]

I wonder if Sharks fans talk about McInnes like Warriors fans talk about Campion.

"He bleeds every week"

 

[snake77]

No surprise the one play the ball Grant struggled to get from dummy half was a play the ball from NAS.

Some of his play the balls get rolled back like a rocket.
