NRL NRL Round 11 2026 - Magic Weekend Discussion

[sydneywarrior92]

That was like our win over south in 2024 and then we went into 3:6, I think they are even worse at 3:7?

I think we went 3-6-1 (draw v Manly) before the magic round miracle against Penrith. That win in retrospect was meaningless because souths finished the year in the bottom 4. Dogs are looking to be on the same trajectory.

 

[WAH MAN]

Souths missing

Alex Johnson

Brandon Smith

Wrighton

David Fafita

When they get these guys back they will be a force

I don't care right now because I'm enjoying them getting a flogging.

Souths looking dangerous early

Is Mr Bellamy not the only NRL coach that's going to annouce a serious medical issue this season?

Always funny knowing other fans are as mental as we are when we screw up...And as "Yeah, but..." when we win...

That Wellington win, even though we played shit, is looking very good right now.

SJ does sound subdued in his commentary. Maybe it’s the Metcalf saga getting him down?

3 days of commentary, can't peak now!

great result for us. We can put 4 pts between us and 4th position if we win on Sunday.

Dude next to me had a multi on the dogs game and the last thing he needed to win $1000 was for the total points scored to hit 60. He leapt out of his seat yelling when Galvin went in at the end........Nek minit

Still early days, but Souths can't be taken seriously as a contender when they regularly concede 30+ pts a game. Same reason I don't rate Newcastle or Cowboys. Scoring pts is great but defense still matters in this comp. I have a feeling when it gets closer to finals, refs will probably throw the whistle away, as they probably will during origin. At that pt, these attack oriented teams will probably mean revert a bit.

SJ’s come to life in the analysis. He’s a good brain

Agree. Fins shat on them tonight. Regarding attack/defence: I think Panthers are without doubt the most consistent team and WILL be minor prems again. But I think all the emotion the club will have experienced this year will hold the Warriors in good stead during playoffs. This week: we should beat Broncos 13+.

Horo on levels actually tipped us for the minor prem. It's not so far-fetched if you think about it. So long as we don't stuff up the origin period like we did last year, we could close the gap on Penrith and draw further gaps on the chooks, who will both be massively impacted.

Either way, our premiership tilt depends on a top 2 finish imo. I think we could beat Brisbane or Roosters at MSS in a prelim. Not sure if it is at accor or Suncorp.

What’s our home/away record and pd this year? Might be doing better on the road lately? Thinking about GF in Sydney

I think the phins were about 10th on the ladder at the time and people were talking them up as a top 4 team based on their performance and potential.

Could end up correct.
