How would we feel about Gallen in a Warriors jersey?

yeah that's a hard no from me

It's hard enough being a Warriors fan as it is.

@Bovidae I know drinking earlier in the day is considered the norm now but you're barred. You've had enough.

Don't shoot the messenger, it's just what I heard on the radio (he might help out the Warriors with their injury crisis).

I'd sooner my team took the field short than have that clown wear the jersey.

@raznomore I had a headline pop up on my Google feed. Someone actually wrote an article saying Gallen might answer a warriors SOS and save them.

What kind of a fucken state are they in? Sounds like it's gotten horrifying.

It is front rowers the Warriors are short of with the injuries.

Nepia

@raznomore I think some of those players are up in the UK with the Superleague - SKD and Feki are two definites.

@Bovidae Adam Keighran has buggered his knee now

raznomore

@Nepia fixed, plus hooker Pritchard who retired young due to persistent injury

Bovidae

@raznomore Yeah but you have the return of Beale so not as bad as losing 3 props.

i can't believe how much i am looking forward to the start of the NRL tomorrow night. I fucking hate the Broncos and the Eels, and yet i can't frikken wait

And of course it wouldn't be the NRL if there wasn't a bad news story on the eve of the season starting. Bronson Xerri has been done for drugs. Of course, proven shit fluffybunny Paul Gallen blames ASADA because he is a horrible human being.

Also, have you seen the Warriors team? That forward pack would get towelled up at state league level. Nailed on for the spoon. Shit coach. Shit squad. No home games.

Clearly when you slap a team with a wet bus ticket for doing dodgy shit it has little effect on them. You'd think that of all teams Cronulla would be the one wanting its players to be clean as fudge.

Along with Gallen, Gould is saying "he feels shattered" for Xerri. You should feel angry at him you dick head.

I don't understand why Xerri went down this path, he was likely going to make it on talent anyway.

The worst thing about the Warriors this year is the coach and management have a get out of jail free card.

If the pre-game promo is anything to go by, the broadcaster is on board with my idea to make league brutal again. I lost count of the blokes they showed getting sparked right the fuck out

Yeetyaah

They've got crowd sounds going on the broadcast, makes it much more watchable.

mariner4life

I like the 6 again for ruck penalties. Much quicker game already.

Crowd noise definitely adding to the broadcast

Yeetyaah

@mariner4life hoping SR Aotearoa will follow suit with the crowd noises.

Canes4life

These hits sound so much more intense without the crowd.

Haven't watched league for years but this game has been thoroughly entertaining so far.

ACT Crusader

Game opening up and like that both teams are throwing it around and offloading.

Ol’ Vossy is laying it on extra thick to help the broadcast also.
