Warriors departures..
Lachlan Burr to Cowboys, Taane Milne to Souths, Isaiah Papali’i to Eels
Burr is a loss, had a very good season
yeah I thought so too, apparently Payten very happy securing him as well. He knows better than anyone else his professionalism not just on field ability.

I straight up don't get that, the dude is an on field plodder, if he was a Kiwi he wouldn't be rated by anyone but he's an Aussie so he's supposedly good because we're on the endless search for the next Luck, Price orCampion.
Now that I've said that he'll likely become a superstar for the Cowboys.
Cam Smith and Richie McGod closer than originally thought? Its fox sports so cant take too seriously, but interesting relationship nonetheless.
@Nepia yeah I agree. Too often we’d be on attack with a good head of steam and the ball would fall to him. No offload, no big metres. Just a quick play the ball. I’ll give him that. He got to his feet quickly.
The stats say it all. He was average as fuck.

I see a picture of the GOAT and guy that plays league 
Pissing down in Sydney, not sure who that favours , traditionally I might think Melbourne, but this team has been less methodical and Far more attacking than usual , scoring lots of long range tries with pace out wide and 2 running halves .
Cleary might have the best kicking game out there
@ACT-Crusader said in NRL 2020:
Gee the Storm are pushing the pass
That’s how they have been playing this year so be interesting to see if they have to play conservative
Clear penalty try, but one of those decisions if May had time to think about it would have not kicked out, making the kick from the corner in this weather would have been tough
tough to handle in this weather, even the storm have now now made two handling errors in their own half already
@ACT-Crusader said in NRL 2020:
Wow I’m not sure about that last no try call.
tough but consistent on how the have ruled all year. Probably a few more chances coming down Brenko side
@ACT-Crusader said in NRL 2020:
I’ll be really interested in how the refs play the advantage 6 more rule tonight.
koro probably lucky not to have one against his leg pull just then either

At least twice the Panthers tried to go from dummy half from quick plays and Storm markers not square. No penalty.

refs clearly reluctant to penalise or use 6 again so far early, lets see if that continues..almost playing SOO type of reffing rules
1 Smith is a total grub
2 Panthers are nervous as shit
3 Gould and Rabs as commentary team make me want to retch
@ACT-Crusader said in NRL 2020:
Scramble from the Storm has been good
sounds like a lot of games versus the storm, other team probably controls game better, Storm scramble well in defence and then make the most of opportunities
still anyones at this stage though
@ACT-Crusader said in NRL 2020:
@NTA Freddie and Joey offer at least a little bit of insight to accompany the geriatrics
Agreed, in spurts; Freddie isn't the brightest and Joey is cooked from a career getting whacked in the head.
that's going to make it hard to come back, storm don't let many points in at the best of times. Panthers are going to need some luck to get back into this
Terrible play all round from the Panthers there. Floaty Harbour Bridge pie from Cleary, followed by a half pie tackle attempt
Gus doing his best to will the Panthers back into it, but would be very strange to see Melbourne take their foot off the throat from here...

It’s absolutely hilarious. Comedy show surely. Can’t say a bad word about them.
@antipodean said in NRL 2020:
The amount of unpunished high tackles is hilarious.
I think you'd have to decapitate a player to get penalised in this game.
The Storm's finals experience is showing.
I don't care who wins but listening to Gould's whinging is delightful.
@Donsteppa Yes it's very embarrassing.
It won't be their year this year, but Penrith will learn from this. I still believe they'll win one in the next year or 2. Just a bit too inexperienced out there tonight on the big stage.
