General NRL 2023 Round 3 - General Discussion

[Ever Hopeful]

Kaufusi actually got 1 game added for contesting it - 3 to 4.

A month off is a lot for that hit, especially since the NRL has been creaming its pants over Kaufusi's aggression and impact for the Dolphins in the first two games.

It is his third offence though...

I’m neither here nor there on kaufusis punishment but it does make u wonder how suaalii got off with a fine.

Yes from me, any top 4 team is welcome, only elite clubs can join the chat though, no cowboys or Penrith fans

Nah screw dolphin fans. They don't even know what geographic they represent plus their jersey is shit

You have to admit they're a pretty good team though, I think we should start playing the Anzac game with them, who's idea was it to start a rivalry with the Storm anyway

So early in the season. Tis the time when teams are getting their shit together and upsets galore. I'd rather see how they are faring midway through the season (just like any team). That said, a 3-0 is a fairytale start for any new club.

No round 4 thread yet but what’s with the Eels playing every week Thursday nights? 3 of the last 4 weeks and next week as well.

Poor Eels. 3 close losses so far but played the Storm, Sharks, Manly and now the Panthers. Just a bit off the pace or lost their mojo with player losses this year?

Go the Eels, I really hope the Panthers get another close loss

Was interesting watching nrl 360 last night and them showing the Suaalii late hit against the Kaufusi one, they’re calling it as it looks that the Suaalii one is as bad if not worse but Kent went on to suggest that certain teams and players don’t get the calls. With Suaalii playing against us I found his timing to make that comment interesting. Perhaps it’s noticeable from many in the industry that some of the officiating is tough at times for us.

Eels fans writing them off to even make the top 8 if they go 0-5.

Titans were comfortably top 8 in their first two years at the midway point. Once injuries/suspension/fatigue hits they didn't have the player 20-30 depth to sustain it.

I suspect the Dolphins might run into the same issue towards the back end.

Roosters fans can join to, but only if Nick comes clean on how they can keep their team under the cap while buying only Origin players to cover injuries.

Yes I'd like to learn their dark secrets of the shadow kingdom too. We would have to swear an oath of omerta though, and probabaly sell our souls to Moloch to learn them.

Horsburgh and Hunt banter/ situation kind of funny, good comeback from Horsburgh on his Instagram lol, Raiders vs sharks near end of the season could be an interesting watch

I didn’t have the eels in my 8 this year so not shocked and it’s better for us if the panthers win because they’re a lock for the 8.
We need these teams like the eels, cowboys and raiders to keep losing- I’m death riding them
