NRL 2020

@chchfanatic I've been involved in many a court session, and end of season trips are as bad if not worse. Plenty of disgusting behaviours which at the time seemed funny, mostly! But you can't compare Div 5 club rugby to highly paid professional athletes. For some ridiculous reason NRL players seem prone to doing stupid / lewd / immoral shit either publicly or on social media. You can't tell me the union guys are doing all the same shit and just aren't as unlucky or miraculously have it brushed under the carpet.

Actually, we could have a thread on gross shit we've seen (done!?) in a court session or on an end of season trip.

@shark that could be the sordid straw/thread that breaks earths back lol. Most of my stuff is about others or what i've been told happened cause fk'd if I remembered

Also, thank all gods including the flying spaghetti monster, that smart phones weren't around. The things we've seen aye lads!! 🤪

We could call it the hypocrites thread.

So... so far the Warriors have played 130 minutes of rugby league this NRL season for precisely zero points on the scoreboard.

Is there a more uninspiring coaching team doing the rounds anywhere, or are Kearney and co dreary beyond peer?

100 years ago was the last time a premiership team was held scoreless in their first two games. 11 minutes to go...

I have watched the last 20 minutes. They are absolutely dire.

We might be awarded a tinny one here

So happy the new owners are a big step up from the old owners.....

No Warriors player has scored a try in 160 minutes of rugby league.

As clear cut a penalty try as there ever is

@Donsteppa more so the players are just shit!!! I would only pick ah mai, Harris, green, fusitua, mamalo and rts as first class players... nz league development is crap and has been for a long time

In the old days the Warriors had access to most of the emerging talent in NZ. These days they compete with all the teams in the league

I had ticket for the double header at Eden Park to watch the Raiders who I have supported avidly for 30 years. So glad to see this game today and well done warriors for your efforts and sacrifices. I just love live sport to take my mind off other things.

@canefan being involved in secondary sport and league I would say the level has dropped dramatically in the last 10 years. U look at a nz u18/17/15 team and only a handful have made nrl. Can’t rely on local talent. Harsh but true

@shark they had a outrageous rule back in the day when I played a year at Shirley. If you could suck yourself off you didn’t have to do court session. Obviously not thinking anyone could do it. Up steps a guy Barry Baxter. Boom. Not something I want to see again.

Most of that team weren't really local talent. Even a bunch of the NZers in the team came through pathways other than the Warriors. I think only Fus, Ken, Harris-Tevita and Papali'i are actual "locals".

It's just a poorly assembled squad.

Keary with an in-goal clanger thanks to never say die defence from Manly

@Nepia more when you go back to hay days of toopi. Jones, lauatitii etc the NZ guys weren’t shit they were amazing plus adding in your campions, lucks, marsh, price etc. now look, Pappalii was meant to be next big NZ thing but he is terrible modern day back rower. Only Harris, Ah Mau, RTS, moemalo and fusitua are NZ players who would make 17 every week of most teams.

You really don't get the distinction at all, do you? That's rhetorical by the way. In case you don't get that, either.

@chchfanatic Yuck.
