General NRL 2021 Round 1 - General Discussion

all of a sudden the bunnies are allowed an hour in the tackle before getting off.

 

[Rizzah]

I hope the Bunnies didn't pay too much for Mansour
Terrible hands

 

[kabkram]

1st game of the season I could just be jazzed the footy is back but damn both these teams look like class.

 

[Orifice]

Yeah players struggle outside of the Warriors system

The best!

Hes back in kearneys system 😂

new rule in effect here isnt it, a forced interchange or a 2 min absence if magic water works

Think being stretchered off might negate that one

 

[gREVUS]

note the guy walking at the back, isolating his neck. not using a brace, strange i thought a brace would be safer when moving a patient

 

[gREVUS]

yea but note the HIA call, to get a free interchange

 

[gREVUS]

im not denying the injury, but there was no way that was an hia call. imo its too often used as a free interchange strategy

 

[pleatedpantspete]

ehh... I like watching Latrell dance around in the tackle. He's lanky and awkward. But he needs to organise his defense better as a fullback. Souths got shredded in the first half.
Munster for me is the bigger grub. I also just really hate the storm. Even post-cameron smith they still get the rub of the green and have always been a bunch of arrogant grubs. And the ski goggles thing last season was so cringe.

 

[kurgal]

No Cameron Smith? No worries! That was a dominant first half from the Storm.

 

[Defence]

Always love it when the commentators are riding a team hard the whole game and they lose 😂
South’s have a lot of strike but their whole spine are poor defenders and I think that’ll be their Achilles heal- especially in big games- they’re just going to have to score too many points.
Awesome having the footy back- can’t wait to see our boys go round.

 

[AlexM]

Its so strange seeing SK sitting up there next to Bellamy thinking WTF?
What happened?
Why is the storm so good?

 

[playdaball]

Storm speed, an area where the warriors could be exposed.

. And the ski goggles thing last season was so cringe.

I thought so too but done a bit of Googling and it's to protect the eyes from champagne while celebrating. Apparently alcohol in the eyes is not good.

 

[Mr Dragon]

Come on Bulldogs, this is your year 🤣

 

[Ranger]

Has Dallin Watene-Zelezniak stopped sliding yet

 

[snake77]

Good ball from Flanagan.

I couldn't imagine disliking the knoghts any more than I do until I saw Seibold in the coaching box.
