NRL and all things Rugby League down under 2018.

Mr.Nice Guy

That was some second half performance from the Raiders against the Tigers.

Tom Mann Centuria

Yet another game this year where a team manages to snatch defeat from certain victory. The Eels will be kicking themselves black and blue.

Mr.Nice Guy

Only saw the highlights and it sounds like the Dragons didn't play well but that was a smashing finale.

Pauliedragon

It was pretty drab stuff from the dragons but it's a win. It pains me to say it but I think saints are just gonna come up short when it comes to the big games at the end of the season.

Tom Mann Centuria

Warriors started like a train, and now the Sharks look like the only winners.

Tom Mann Centuria

Bleurgh. Forward by a mile, officiating poor again, but the Warriors should be in positions where sh*te refs don't cost them games.

Mr.Nice Guy

Great comeback for the Broncos. Knights had a rough time with Ponga off injured. Always fear for them when he's not around.

Tom Mann Centuria

Titans played very well to beat the Tigers. Cowboys lost yet another close one.

Mr.Nice Guy

JT seemed to be getting back to his best. Pity about the kick at the end.

Absolutely. As a NSW fan he kills me but what a player. It's a shame the cowboys are having such a bad season and will miss the finals he deserves a better send off.

Tom Mann Centuria

Titans were very ordinary but the Broncos looked good today.

Mr.Nice Guy

Broncos with some impressive hits.

Hoping for a good Origin game today and of course hoping we can win it for Billy - there is nothing quite like an Origin game - enjoy lads

You got an awesome game! Deserved win for Maroons, but super display from Blues too.

I sure did - it was epic! Takes the sting out of losing the series - I thought Holmes saved the game for us with his intercept towards the end.

I think so. Not sure if the blues were going to get in, but they'd been knocking on the door for a while.

(I'm technically a neutral but have always been a NSW fan because they've been perennial underdogs)

Mr.Nice Guy

That was some performance from Valentine Holmes. Great game to end the series.

Pauliedragon

How does a player who plays two games in a losing series get player of the series?

As someone who has always cheered on QLD, admittedly not that fervent, it's a fecking stupid decision, it's more or less like a life time achievement award.

Tom Mann Centuria

Great win for the Warriors over the weekend, beating the Broncos fairly handily, glad they didn't continue the shocker from the previous week.

Mr.Nice Guy

Only caught up on the weekend action today. Delighted for the Warriors. :cool:

Tom Mann Centuria

Simon Mannering is retiring at the end of the season, sad day for the Warriors, he was one of the few players who always looked like he was giving it 100% during the many poor seasons of recent years (since I started watching anyway). 14 seasons with just one club, and hopefully should get to 300 appearances. Club legend.

Tom Mann Centuria

God I hate the Storm.

Pauliedragon

Cowboys really are in trouble. They have a tough run in and the second last game against the eels could be a wooden spoon decider. It would be a shame to see Thurston go out with a spoon.

Mr.Nice Guy

Felt for the Warriors after that defeat.

Roosters looked good although Manly's defence was all over the shop.

Thurston having a shocker of a season...

The fact the rest of the team are having a 'mare doesn't help but it really does look like a season too long for him.

True - the team aren't great but I've seen Thurston do things this year that he never used to - missed tackles, poor kicks, etc. There doesn't seem to be any spark there.

The last couple of years seems to have caught up on the whole squad.

Tom Mann Centuria

Looks like the Eels are gassed. Wheels just fell off. If Haynes hadn't had the full length try ruled out they might have hung on I think, but not now. ALL bunnies now.
