NRL Rd 4 *Spoilers

There's a very good argument for Morris being the best winger of all time. Obviously there's some greats of the past but he has no weaknesses and has been doing it his entire career, now aged 34 which is insane for a winger.

Pretty average game, poor Newcastle lost almost their whole spine.... cost me my perfect round!

Hasn’t been a good game all weekend. V’Landys ball has made the game too one sided and less entertaining IMO.

Yeh games are only mildly interesting when by some coincidence the scores are close.

On another note if Brooks needs a game management specialist coach we need another referee on the books. They, and the class divide between some teams, are pretty much dictating results. NRL was always good for a major upset or 2 every week but it is turning into aerial ping pong with teams pushing out to $7!

There were odds of $8 and $10 going around this round.

Not much of a gambler but I don't recall seeing such high odds in previous seasons and rank outsiders were usually only $3 to $4 in the past.

Game is getting too fast and it's widening the gap between the haves and the have nots.

Set re-starts have killed the game

Absolutely. Not sure why they messed with a good product. They’ve ruined the game.

One person trying to stamp his vision on the game
Coming from the racing industry he should know better
The stronger teams should receive a handicap
When it comes to signing players to even up the comp

Nah IMO. Everybody was capable of tackling in days gone by, these days tackling is optional.

But, but....it's faster now

But , but ...it’s not faster

Well everyone keeps saying it is. Stupid imo.

Sterlo said this morning that the games no faster than it was ..
 
Hopefully the Tiges give a good account of ourselves tomorrow.
Saints vs Knights has been the only decent contest this week. Game's turned to mud.

Two pretty evenly matched teams. I enjoyed it. Not sure we can match Parra, we seem a bit scared of them.
 
1st time I've watched the Matty Johns Show this year..what the hell am I watching..

I reckon defences are better than ever.... that's why it's all the more impressive what he's doing. He's up against 100kg physical freaks on the wing
 
Lots of hype on Sam Walker but the kid was very impressive. Played very smart and looked mature behind his years out there leading the team around and popping up where need be. Classy performance
 
Well if the results this weekend are anything to go by ... we get thumped 20+ tomorrow

Great product Vlandys is producing

Did you’d think the show would’ve improved ?

Defences are better than ever? Don't tell anyone but have you seen our right edge defence the last 3 or 4 years? Inglis, Tedesco.....considered greats of the game but couldn't tackle to save themselves.
Langlands, Jack....back in the day when fullbacks could cover-defend. Nowadays fb's are just witches hats: that was why the RTS tackle last weekend was front page news.
BMOZ would've been bashed out of the sport by Peter Dimond.

They cost me my tipping round as well.

They should be apologising to all tradies myself included for impersonating a Tradie!
Useless tools ?

Yeh me too probably... 6/7 now

Who do we beat to get to the top 8? Do you reckon it’s 30 points still
