NRL NRL Round 5 2026 Discussion

Some cracking games this weekend.

Might have to revise my fitness plan and skip a few early nights lol.

Tonight will be good. Hoping to see the Phins smash Manly. However I am conflicted coz I also want Foz to win his first game in charge....hmmmm...oh well when I put it that way....I can't lose!

Bunnies and Dogs, Go Rabbitohs coz the Dogs suck with their special treatment. Picking South's to smash them.

Match of the round Pennies v Storm. Who cares who wins, be a good watch. Get out there and kill each other boys! I want to see full handbags. Some shirt grabbing at the throat - lots of dudes running in bear hugging, more shirt grabbing, sneering, leering, jeering and some aggressive spitting at the grass....a real modern day biff.

Pass re Broncs Tits. Nothing to say, won't be watching. Dito Cows Dragons...who cares.

Raiders v Knights could be a cracker, go Newy.

And Go Tigers, be a good game V the Eels, should be competitive.
 
Man that sucks re Merritt, super sad 😞
Bunnies will get up for this, Dogs might be on the end of a belting….love it

I hope Melbourne win, there’s no way they lose 4 in a row next week otherwise we’ll absolutely cop it
Take heart

The last time the Melbourne Storm lost four consecutive games was during the 2022 NRL Season.
This rare slump occurred between Round 16 and Round 19. For a team known for its clinical consistency, this streak was particularly notable as it was the first time in seven years they had lost four in a row.

The 2022 Four-Game Losing Streak

The losses occurred against the following opponents:
RoundOpponentScore
Round 16Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles36 – 30
Round 17Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks28 – 6
Round 18Canberra Raiders20 – 16
Round 19South Sydney Rabbitohs24 – 12

Historical Context

While losing four straight is a crisis for most Melbourne fans, it isn't their absolute worst record. Under coach Craig Bellamy, the Storm also suffered a five-game losing streak in 2012 (between Rounds 16 and 21). Ironically, despite that mid-season collapse, they went on to win the Premiership that year.
Prior to the 2022 slump, the most recent four-game losing streak was in 2015 (Rounds 14–18).

Man that’s sad to hear

First few posts on this thread super depressing. Hope we thump the sharks this weekend to lift spirits. Tonight’s Phins burying Manly (sorry Foz don’t like you enough) will be a good start

How many dudes ended their season walking down stairs in boots
