NRL 2024

Western Australians hate everything east coast with a passion. You uproot a Sydney team and plonk it in Perth and they will shun it out of spite.

The only way the Bears work is if you base them in Gosford.

Bovidae

RTS is out for up to 6 weeks with his torn hamstring.

Gunner

In good news Wayde Egan has re-signed until 2027.

Hopefully we can get 50 games out of him

Paul Kent, what a cunt

After making a career out of verbally bashing players, most especially those that play the mental health card, Paul Kent has pulled.the mental health card.

Absolute vermin.

oof, we've got Penrith this weekend. And as if that wasn't hard enough, our team is fucked by injuries.

SJ has been all sorts of ordinary, but he's still been better than TMM. Which means SJ out, and TMM to halfback is, at best, concerning. Do we have another fit half? no, we do not, so CNK comes in to stand off. What could possibly go wrong.
The young headless chook gets to start at fullback. He's quicker than CNK, but that's really all you can say about the young fulla yet.

The pack is okay, but that backline... eeesh.

Also, it's Magic Round! for all those that hate the idea of Super Round, watch this weekend and see what Super Round should aspire to be if rugby was a sport that people wanted to actually go to.

oh, and in the rest of the NRL soap opera:

Harry Grant had his fine overturned on appeal, which makes the ref and the bunker look like the complete fucking idiots they are. At this point, it has to be deliberate right? They are just making sure the NRL is in the news all week with this shit?

And David Fifita is no longer going to the Roosters, he's staying at the Titans.

Has CNK ever played 6? Even the pack looks dicey, our usual front rower in the second row, Tohu is a broken shell of himself, our star origin bound 9 seemingly read too many headlines about himself. Actually TBH our pack is essentially AFB, if he goes down we're fucked.

Ah, that old Warriors fan feeling is back. It's somewhat comforting.

mariner4life

i do not believe he ever has no. I actually expect a "late change"

bayimports

warriors were hoping for a CHT late in, but if CNK plays 6 then that pretty much sums up where we are it

Fafita backflips the day after A Crichton gets angry with Roosters, probably double loss oh funny days

mariner4life

if CHT gets fit he'll go straight in, but how likely is that?

would absolutely love Crighton to now leave

African Monkey

@mariner4life Twat of the highest order. No doubt he'll be back on that gutter of a show 360 in no time though, doing what he does best the sad excuse for a human that he is.

bayimports

@Nepia thought they might go the Walker route as well if CHT not available, so also surprised by this CNK move.

Obviously no faith in Farr to step up yet either lol

bayimports

@mariner4life no idea Webster was bullish on Monday, but not listed at all come Tuesday..not even in extended squad, so I would say no chance

mariner4life

it's all happening. Bennett back to the Bunnies for 3 years.

A this rate he's going to be coaching in this NRL as one of those reserved heads from Futurama
