@mariner4life one of my favourite players but most loathed coaches. Straight out douche canoe.

But we won't be looking into what causes, or our part in, the increased cases of HIA, (fuck that, we've cornered the market for 1950s style sports contact and we ain't giving that up! By the way, Origin in 71 days. Unreported concussions galore!)

The Bulldogs trainers/medics/or whoever are even more hopeless than the team. Lachlan Lewis was in clear need of an HIA sub and proper check up there, but somehow they looked at him and left him on the field for another set.

African Monkey

@donsteppa Yeah that was a disgrace. What were the Bulldogs medics thinking?!

Wow the gap between the haves and the have nots has never been bigger. 3 brutal reamings this weekend. With the quick play and more ball in play there is no way for the shit teams to hide.

There are 3 defined levels at the moment, and only injuries can change the balance.

Bovidae

I watched the 1st half of the Storm-Broncos game. What a crazy 11 mins for the Papenhuyzen show.

African Monkey

@mariner4life Yep pretty much. You can see it in the line speed with the below par sides. They can't give away penalties to slow momentum so fatigue sets in quicker where they can't move up, with manly and North queensland being the worst culprits.

Cody Walker has quit the highlight reel of dirty shit from yesterday. What a fuckhead.

I've seen 3 different acts that deserve a ban each

ARHS

Just watched Raiders v Titans. The skill level is so much better than Aotearoa rugby currently. Try saving tackles are spectacular and regular in Nrl. And Rapana try was a real gem with amazing skills

Cowboys got hammered by a team I don't even expect to make the 8. Terrible showing so far from them, they are a mile behind.

Titans need to win games against teams like the Raiders to prove they belong.

We’re playing pretty well. Two best fullbacks in the game having a big influence on the game.

A couple of costly lapses by us (Tavaga again...) that the Chooks have capitalised on.

It's a good game. Solid hits and end to end attack.

Bovidae

Maumalo is such a poor defender.

booboo

Might not be a popular opinion but geez league is boring.

I'll admit they have less breaks, or at least shorter breaks.

But I just find me the tackles stopping the action tedious.

Even though I have a dog on this fight.

Want the Warriors to win and will follow them but Imuch like the Phoenix, Breakers etc just can't watch the game.

Lets gone Warriors. Hope to wake up to a win in the a.m.

ACT Crusader

Some dumb goal line attack by us. Why go the flat option close to the ruck and defensive line out of dummy half is beyond me.

Now they’ve gone the length after we cough it up.

Warriors look out in their feet and the defensive line is piss weak

Dice

Missing Fonua-Blake for his carries. We're really struggling to get up field.

mariner4life

The fucking Roosters

Missing both starting halves, as well as their captain and #1 hooker and they are still fucking good.

Wait we're not dead yet. Wait yes we are, the fuck with your hand Ken?

League is so brutal. So many injuries.
