LIVE GAME Rd 27 live discussion NRL

Channel 9’s commentary team is getting tough to listen to. I don’t know if anyone else feels the same, but there’s just no energy between Matthew Thompson, Joey, and Freddy. Brad Fittler was in the studio at half time, which makes me wonder if they’re even at the stadium.

Johns and (even more so) Fittler are two of the biggest idiots involved in the game. Mathew Thompson, while sharp has a terrible voice for commentary - it sounds like a persistent whinge.

The Dogs have really shot themselves in the foot dropping Sexton for Galvin when they were going so well. The cohesion and grit they had at the start of the season just isn’t there anymore. Time to admit you got it wrong Ciraldo and bring back your original unified squad otherwise your season will go down the gurgler real fast. Honestly, there is no shame in admitting you got it wrong and rushed putting a young player into a key position well before he is ready.

Galvan will be there next week they have played the card it's too late now to change things, if they were to drop him it would make Gould and Ciraldo look more foolish than they already do.

Good luck in the finals you D heads, here's hoping they drop out yelping with two straight demoralising loses.

If Joey says “he’s a player” one more time I’m gonna scream. Of course he’s a player you dimwit, otherwise he wouldn’t be playing the game!

Other than that and some of their other inane comments I’d much rather watch channel 9 than the anti tiger idiots on Fox and also Ennis constantly singing the praises of Galvin on every bog average thing he does.

He has to say “ yeah, well … he’s a player” five times a game right now.

The Bulldogs have become the laughing stock of the NRL after their Wolfmother pre-game entertainment turned into a disaster, with the iconic Aussie ban’s act cut short.
As the Dogs ran out onto Accor Stadium on Saturday night, the plan was for the Australian rock band to be blasting their hit song Joker and the Thief.

The iconic anthem has blared before every home game in 2025. But the move for them to play live was a head scratcher already, given the fact that the Round 27 game has zero finals implications and is nothing more than a regular season game.

However, it couldn’t have gone worse, with players and fans left confused about what they were seeing.

As Wolfmother began to play, the Bulldogs entered the field before standing around awkwardly waiting for the song to finish in truly bizarre scenes.

You can watch the pre-game shambles in the player above.

Wolfmother pre-game fell flat. Im
“Stephen (Crichton) has taken them out early. What do they do? Do they keep playing for the first three minutes of play?” Andrew Voss asked in commentary.

“I’m not sure how this works.


“That is quite an unusual … Wolfmother is doing their best.”

In the end the song was cut short as the game needed to get undwerway.

And the NRL world was quick to give it to the Bulldogs for their pre-game disaster.

“They get Wolfmother to do the run on live and Crichton f***s it up,” one fan wrote on X.

“What was the point of Wolfmother – pls explain,” another added.

“WTF was that Wolfmother nonsense before the bulldogs game,” a third commented.
