2024 Season Opener, Las Vegas Discussion *Spoilers*

[GNR4LIFE]

Roosters definitely the surprise packet of the day. I was unconvinced about them the whole off season, and they are notoriously slow starters every year. Bur they looked the goods today

What’s concerning is the level of intensity the Vegas games were played at. If our trials were anything to go by, we’ll get absolutely demolished.

Let’s hope they were just underplaying the games - I did hear that this may have been the case I.e they didn’t want show too much in terms of attacking shape, but the lack of physicality was a worry.

Most Americans never knew. About today.

Most Americans don’t know about anything.
You have to belt them over the head. The NRL did this. It’ll be interesting to see if it worked in some way over the coming weeks/months.

Most Americans never knew. About today.

They all tuned in to watch the ex Tigers, Tedesco, Brooks, Paseka, Aloiai, Brown, Tatola, Illias, Tapau and Pauga run riot.,

I agree, was impressed by Tedesco, I thought his downward run would continue, but he showed some class today, lets see if he can maintain it through the season

 

[Tucker]

Victor Radley was a demon today, he has lowered his attacking zone in defence and it worked nicely. That tackle he made where he manhandled Payne Haas almost back into his own in goal was beastly.

 

[innsaneink]

Teddy, Manu, Walker Keary Radley, Cheese all had really good game

Get better

You want what the AFL. want

No thanks, I'm happy hating on certain things.

 

[rusted-on]

Why are some animals deemed to be offensive and others not?

Steve Menzies was called the beaver, Josh Ado Carr the fox, Gordon Tallis the raging bull, DCE the giraffe (Andrew Voss also calls Daniel Tupou this), Josh Mcguire the moose, and I'm sure there are plenty more, none of which are offensive to anyone. Yet get called a monkey and all hell breaks loose.

Can someone help me understand it?

That aside, I refuse to believe that a grown man (one with the mental strength to play NRL at that) is in the sheds in tears because someone called him a monkey.

Makes me wonder if Tigers could do enough this year to warrant a trip to Las Vegas next year? I will go if so.

I think the 5th year is our hope.

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Is it only me who wants to put a sock in Trent Robinson mouth every time he speaks?…

What, when we are the only team left that hasn't been over there? 🤣

I think he's one of the better coaches to listen to... He often brings a different perspective where many other coaches it's like we've heard it all before.. For me anyway

 

[hank37w]

Gee, there seemed to be an inordinate amount of blood on display in the first half of the Souffs vs Manly game, was this put on especially to show the Yanks how tough NRL is?

Don't recall seeing too much, if any blood at all after that.

 

[Needaname]

Wow these 3 teams in Vegas are a cut above.

That backline movement by the Broncos was impressive

3?

 

[Needaname]

What, when we are the only team left that hasn't been over there? 🤣

Yes the 17th team with the 3 other new teams that have been introduced by then.

Open and honest, and has time for the media.

 

[Donny Brasco]

Gonna be interesting to see what comes of the Leniu & Mam situation… not a good look for Spencer

How many weeks could he be looking at?
hopefully half the season.
