LIVE GAME Round 1 Discussion *Spoilers*

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Beware a side who gets flogged. Pride and ego causes unpredictable reactions.

The old bounce back factor.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Very disappointed with the Storm performance today didn't get to 60.

 

[jadtiger]

I missed the game how did Stefanie play

Same as last year

 

[cktiger]

We didn’t play Melbourne or manly

Really?

 

[Stevec]

Lose Stephano Gain May
Weve come out ahead on that one

Broncos Storm Penrith Manly looking like a cut above the rest after this weekend.

Three teams in round have conceded 50, and the NRL’s solution is to add more teams. Can you imagine lack of depth spread across 18 teams? It was bad enough at 16.

Problem is - The lack of depth is only spread across around 12 teams...

Those at the top seem to have Plenty.

That PNG team if it ever gets off the ground will make the Magpies off 1999 look like the Panthers of the last 4 years.

Anyone else think parra are going to have 50 put on them in this one

This aged brilliantly.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

This aged brilliantly.

Lol until I changed to 60 got close but no chocolates.

The old bounce back factor.

I think we could get the bounce back on us too and not overly confident as bookies will have us as favourites too

Never confident when we play, they have to prove to us they have turned the corner, still think we need 2 centres, 2 2RF's, and another big middle yet look at the storm team no chinks in their armour

Broncos Storm Penrith Manly looking like a cut above the rest after this weekend.

These four, cronulla and the dogs seem shoe-ins for top 6 but there's always surprises between first and last round.

I can't say I'd be hugely shocked at any of the other 11 sides making the 8 or finishing bottom 4

 

[Halbrowne61]

Parra embarrassed, back at home, playing the wooden spooners who have little or no attack. It should be another close one but hopefully goes our way.

 

[hank37w]

What?

He either means 1 μm which is a micrometre, which is equal to 0.001 mm, or about 0.000039 inch.

or maybe he means one of these.

 

[hank37w]

That catch and pass from Turbo for their 2nd try was the best I've ever seen I reckon. No time at all, and executed smoothly.

Didn't work quite as well the second time, but the first one was a thing of beauty.

 

[hank37w]

Brooks playing well for Manly. Bateman doing nothing for the Cowboys. I think Bateman is playing but I haven’t seen him do anything

That's because he wasn't niggling, slowing down the play the ball and losing valuable momentum for his side while in possession.

Without any of that he is almost invisible. 🤣

Broncos Storm Penrith Manly looking like a cut above the rest after this weekend.

Broncos, Storm, Penrith, Manly, Dogs and Cronulla (despite losing) were all strong.

Canberra and St George were decent for a first hit out.

Knights, Souths and the Dolphins were more bad than good.

The Roosters tried hard but were no match for Brisbane.

The Tigers, Warriors, Eels and Cowboys were varying shades of awful. The Knights' poor finishing and some dodgy refereeing kept us in the match but we were as bad as any team this round.

 

[hank37w]

4 runs for his first stint in a team that’s dominating

The guy is just a lazy bludger

Bellamy will have him on the shovel. 🤣

 

[hank37w]

Melb score 8 tries in 40 minutes....itll take us 6 weeks to achieve that

At this stage we are well short of being able to achieve that.
