NRL Round Discussion NRL Round 1, 2024 Discussion

[Matiunz]

Geez the love fest of Walsh by fox is a bit over the top, been outplayed by old man Tedesco big time tonight.
Roosters looking to bounce back and Broncs looking a bit off the pace- early days though

Cobbo into centre and no Oates means the Broncos back 3 have gotten a lot smaller pretty quickly.

Makes it harder for Haas, Carrigan etc to get a roll on if they have further to go to get back onside.

 

[John Nick]

Broncos will win plenty of games this year but they are a long way off where they were at the end of last season. Cobbo at centre and the players they have lost has changed at least a quarter of their team. Not getting that front foot ball from their forwards either. Add Walters as coach who doesn't strike me as a particularly good one.

Yeah Walters is useless.
Only got the Broncos to a GF last year and unlucky to lose by a massive 2 points ‼

The bits I've paid attention to seems like Walker's having a good game.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Walsh just giving up. No fucking heart

 

[tajhay]

Well done NRL!

 

[j_p]

At least there's no sad Broncos mascot walking in the background of the post match

The old head Roosters beat the young ponies 2day..
Now that the love affair with Vegas is over... roll on next Friday...

Good day's footy, you'd have to call that a success.

What did Spencer say to Ezra, the N word? In the states isn't that like two aussie cunts calling each other cunts?

Good to see Manu out there showing some form

 

[snake77]

Good game from Tedesco. Sniping a lot in the middle, some tough runs. Also covering behind the line on defence within the 20. That last point is a requirement of the position. Worth pointing out though as his high profile opposite gets caught out with that.

Probably a good thing the two games were different. Otherwise the Americans would expect all of the games would be like that.

Did any body see a Warriors jersey in the crowd? Kinda weird to not see one during the broadcast

Broncos with the woke agenda. Watch them go broke.

 

[Worried2Death]

If Walsh gets injured this year the broncs are done.
Brooks looked good with DCE, Manly spine should be deadly if their turbo hammies hold up.
Soufs look unfit again for some reason.
Chooks are the real deal, Teddy looks rejuvenated.
Season's wide open, these 4 teams have got me worried, still our year though.

Good tactics from the Roosters too I thought. That's probably the most I've seen Walsh kicked to with challengers coming through contesting for the ball. Doesn't give him much opportunity to counter attack

 

[Wrighty]

Surprised Broncos didn't win that. The penalty Walsh gave up where he refused to get off the tackled player was bizarre and really didn't help the Broncos.

 

[Popdukes]

Walsh is way over zealous, I put it down to stardom poured upon him early and immaturity. Maybe the occasion got the better of him playing in Vegas and trying to ham it up. Mind you both Manly & Souths did it also but it was messy.

2nd game was a good watch, hard to say how the Broncos will go this year, imo The Roosters would've beaten both Manly & Souths also and will be a problem this season.

Manly look decent, Souths…..meh.

Spencer is in the shizz with the racial accusations depending on the severity.

Nope we’re all broke, on the sofa watching it on VIPBOX

A lot of opportunities for him to see the high ball and yell "yours".

If you can get to him as he's catching it you can rough him up. The other part is if you can isolate him away from his wingers and present a good line you can make him work and tire him out.

The Roosters were playing nice and direct especially in the first half.

There’s rumours of Warriors v Storm in Vegas next year- curious how many of us would make the trek?
