NRL 2018

I don't watch a lot of Friday night football as it mostly involves the Broncos.

But fuck what a game. That was huge. Old dog fondler came up fucking massive. Lock up ya pooches tonight Newcastle, Mitchells had a dream debut and he's keen to get in behind.

So far, everything is going as I predicted. Dragons win their first game, and will win most of their first ten before slowly running out of steam and finishing 9th.

Knights win their first but will struggle for large parts of the season (but won't finish last).

Cowboys win in Townsville, congratulations to JT on 300, and will win all the way to the Grand Final where JT will retire a champ.

Yeah but mine was a FB link and it came out a bit weird

[Gunner]

The Tigers beat the Roosters 10-8.

Beautiful stuff, the no cap Roosters can just fuck right off!

I turn it over. And within a minute i watch Maumalo jog into contact and get put in to touch. And then the team gives up a lazy offside penalty.

So consistent

[Gunner]

@mariner4life I turn it over and the buggers score.

Jaysus.

Comms also commenting on how trim and fit the Warriors look.

We hear that every pre season don’t we?

In all seriousness, I think they’re right, they look in good nick. The challenge will be to keep them away from KFC.

Sheesh and they’re in again.

Blake green could be a good signing ,

Probably flies under the radar a bit , good decision maker

Missed a tackle he should of made for that try just then.

[Gunner]

Warriors up to their old tricks.

Give away a silly penalty, Rabbits score.

Give away a silly penalty a couple tackles after the kick off and give them field position again.

And then another on their own 10m line just for good measure.

[raznomore]

Kata and Maumolo picking up right where they left off by jamming in and creating an over lap for the Rabbits that was not actually there. They score and it's now level 10-10. Those two players lost us multiple games last season.

And if our discipline this first 40min of the season is an indication of Kearney hard line approach this season hard line means something entirely different to what I thought it meant. 7-1 penalty count with 11min to against us. Ffs honestly. Ffs.

[Nepia]

When did we sign Le-saw-ney?

[Gunner]

And just like that the Warriors strike, and what’s more the bunker has overturned the on field call to give it.

That just doesn’t happen with the Warriors, WTF have they been feeding g the guys in the bunker in the off season?

[Gunner]

@nepia said in NRL 2018:

The same time we signed Car-Tar?

[raznomore]

@gunner Carrots by the looks mate.

[Gunner]

Oh wow!

Johnson creates a try from nothing on half time.

Without getting carried away, there have been some promising signs in this first half - mixed with the usual facepalm moments to keep us grounded.

[raznomore]

Johnson and Fusitua create some vintage warrior magic. What about the pick up.

But I'm not going to believe in anything until round 5...
