General NRL 2020 Round 1 - General Discussion

[drunk_monk]

How the hell the Sharks didn't lose a player there for taking out a guy waiting for the ball there I don't understand.

Dangerous unsubtle professional foul.

 

[PullinTeeth]

Calling it now, roosters will lose tonight and wont make top 4

 

[Weno]

He was like that to start season 2018

Well that makes this season as well.
Just not with us the mug.

 

[Weno]

Roosters showing why they the best at the moment.

Man I hate them.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Geez, the Roosters have conceded more than 18 points for the first time since Round 13 last year. Imagine having such consistent defence.

 

[drunk_monk]

The warriors are shit but at least the Roosters and Sharks lost.

 

[Ranger]

Moses Suli putting extra into the tackle 3 times in a set. Would have seen a Warrior penalised for any of them.

They’ve let ALOT slide in this game Vunivalus flying knee for example

 

[tajhay]

Dragons show more attacking ability in their first tackle of the match than we have during all of the 9s, preseason and first round game.

McGregor > Kearney

 

[Mr Bob]

Isaac Luke still looks decent.... smh

 

[Ranger]

Corey Thompson wishing the season had been cancelled already after that, what a shocker

 

[Fonzies Tram Line]

Yes Luke looks fit, back to work now that he finished his long holiday in NZ.

 

[tajhay]

Blake Green on Matty Johns show next from Kimgscliffe

 

[wizards rage]

NRL Week One. NZ Warriors are at the bottom at table on minus twenty points next to Gold Coast Titans who are on minus eighteen. As much as I can see them improve, I'm sorry but can't see the same thing happening with NZ Warriors. We are bottom team for sure. Just cancel rest of season already. I don't want see Roosters get three-peat.

☹

And I wonder if the fact we are so off the pace will be a factor in us wanting to pull out rather than fight on.

If we were competitive and our players felt they were in with a shot at the top 8; if we didn’t have a big injury list already I suspect they would be more willing to spend a month or so battling on.

Easy out for the team

 

[Blindside]

Leadership comes from the top. Right?

Yeah, Ive got no problem with them coming back straight away, Its not like they've had a couple of months to ready them and their families for this, but am sure if the same situation came around and we were 9/1 after 10 rounds, they wouldn't hesitate to base them selves over there on short notice.

 

[Pozza]

I was watching the Tiges and Dragons game last night and the comms crossed to that wordsmith Blocker. Apparently the Tiges now have Elijah Taylors sister Eliza playing for them. This puts Blocker right up there in contention for the Darryl Halligan memorial trophy. Back to the actual footy, how good was Benji absolutely smoked them!

 

[warriors55]

Far out Benji was impressive yesterday! He outplayed Hunt and Norman easily.

 

[defensivebomb]

There he goes again, that arsehole Jamie Soward, picking us as last in his power rankings. What a prick. He really has it in for this club...

I wish we would make him eat his words instead of proving him right for a change.
