NRL and all things Rugby League down under 2017

Mr.Nice Guy

The Panthers comeback was great viewing. Matt Moylan stepped up in a big way.

Convincing 2nd half for the Bulldogs against the Dragons.

Tom Mann Centuria

Good win for South Sydney, even when Titans were 10 points up they never looked comfortable. Hammering in the 2nd half.

Tom Mann Centuria

Eels thumping the Dragons.

Mr.Nice Guy

The Eels have some serious pace.

Tom Mann Centuria

Wheels have well and truly fallen off at the Dragons, only going one way in the ladder now it seems.

Origin two in the morning, Blues to blow the Maroons away is my guess.

Mr.Nice Guy

I expect a Blues win too, but the return of Thurston will be fascinating. If there's one guy that might be able to drag Queensland over the line it's him.

Queersland by 8 , sorry to say.

Great game, NSW forgot to come out 2nd half.

Mr.Nice Guy

Looked like Hayne screwed up a chance for a certain try with a strange pass. If he threw it as normal the Blues looked like they'd have put the game to bed.

It's going to be a cracking finale in a few weeks.

One other thing: I was watching on Eir sport and the coverage was a disaster. The feed cut and I missed two tries for the Blues in the first half and it went out in the second half as well. I've not had those issues with Eir before. I was worried it was going to cut right at Thurston's pivotal kick!

Yeah cut out the for me as well. Premier sports cut though too, so not a lot eir could do about it since thats who they get their coverage off.

I'm in USA for next two weeks, so no rugby league for me.

Mr.Nice Guy

Been some good comebacks this weekend. The Roosters' one was impressive.

Mr.Nice Guy

Only just heard the news that Thurston is out for the season with his shoulder injury. Gutted. I wanted him in the Origin decider. It would have really added to the occasion.

Mr.Nice Guy

Was very impressed with Storm's performance against the Broncos. That Vunivalu catch got me out of my chair. He's one of my favourite players.

Eye-catching performance from Cronulla today as well.

How about them bunnies

cracker of a game
Met madge after the game and gave the guy a massive man hug haha. AJ has equalled the club record for most tries scored.....

Mr.Nice Guy

Hell of a performance from Johnston. Shame he couldn't get that sixth and break the record.

I thought the Panthers would be one to watch this season given how they finished last season strongly, but they've been very disappointing.

My thoughts exactly

brandnewaward

full sure they would play semis...... Don't write off the bunnies yet , that kid we traded Robbie Rochow for is a gun

Mr.Nice Guy

Hell of a performance from Radradra today for the Eels against Storm. I'm a Vunivalu fan but Semi got the better of him in this game.

Mr.Nice Guy

Poor Knights. Brilliant ending to the game though.

In Holland lads missing all the action your posts are keeping me updated

Yeah, I kept up to date here when I was away too.

Mr.Nice Guy

Less than 24 hours to go for the big State of Origin decider. I read that Fifita is missing the chance to see his baby's birth for the game and his partner supports him in that! Goes to show how high the stakes are.

Tom Mann Centuria

Not long now, good piece on Thurston on at the moment. Not a paid up member of his fan club but he is/was a true great. Best of the modern era. I think him being out is a big psychological blow for Qld, and I fancy NSW to pull off a shock.

Tom Mann Centuria

Blues under all sorts of pressure at the moment, but still only a converted try in it.
