The NRL Season of 2016

@mariner4life probably because he performs well for the Kiwis. I rate him ahead of DWZ (but my wingers in 2017 are Fusitua and Rapana at this point).

Gunner

No room for Mannering. Interesting.

Bovidae

@taniwharugby Mannering is recovering from surgery so was given an extra week of rehab.

NRL news: Greg Bird released by the Titans, Dylan Walker and Aaron Gray in trouble again (this time in Thailand).

Australian Kangaroos team: Darius Boyd, Blake Ferguson, Greg Inglis, Josh Dugan, Valentine Holmes, Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk, Matt Scott, Cameron Smith (captain), Shannon Boyd, Boyd Cordner, Matt Gillett, Trent Merrin. Interchange: David Klemmer, Michael Morgan, Tyson Frizell, Sam Thaiday.

A few blokes in the twilight of their careers in that team. Guessing Mal isn't worried about a youth policy.

i like a lot of our match ups, but their 9/7/6 shits on ours so hard.

@booboo I can see why it might have been confusing.

@mariner4life said in The NRL Season of 2016:

how does square wheels Nightingale keep getting picked?

Would have been a great opportunity to cap former Blues development squad player, Suliasi Vunivalu who made the NRL team of the year and prevent the Aussies from picking him down the track. This guy is already far superior to Nightingale.

penalties put the aussies inside our quarter twice ,

keep that up could be a long night

Donsteppa

Fire up for the haka, smash a couple of head highs... and then let in a softish try..

mariner4life

We're fucked. They ard smarter than us.

canefan

Ref fucking us as well, should have been a repeat set to us. Now the kangas score down the other end. Reaching for the remote.....

I thought our forwards were meant to be better than theirs?

mariner4life

We're going to get fingered like drunk school girls

SammyC

Is there a stupider team in world sport than the kiwis.

Possibly the warriors

kiwiinmelb

we have points in us , just got to get our share of the possesion

Gunner

Why has our Dally M player of the year only touched the ball twice in the first 20?
Weird.

Gunner

That starting front rower for the Aussies is just a big fat fuck. How can a professional footy player have a gut like that?

canefan

Our final tackle play option taking has been rubbish

kiwiinmelb

Thought we worked our way back into the game well considering the shaky start ,

We can win this if we get our share of the ball and complete our sets

Is the Kiwis forward pack overrated?The Aussies seem to be making metres up the middle a lot easier than the Kiwis.

canefan

Is that Sam Thaiday's fat brother playing for oz?

kiwiinmelb

the positive is , we are not playing well , and the aussies are struggling to put us away

mariner4life

Obvious lessons. Storm forwards are better being guided by Smith and Cronk. And the Warriors spine not good enough for the NRL can't win test matches.

Fuck why were these in doubt?

kiwiinmelb

i dont think its a great aussie team , its there for the taking for us or the poms if we can get our shit together , big if though

canefan

Trouble is we don't look likely

SammyC

Trouble is we're a bunch of idiots coached by an even bigger idiot

ACT Crusader

How rubbish has SKD been tonight. Drag him.
