NRL 2019

I'm curious about the opening round match ups, and what they say about the clubs involved. Roosters VS Rabbitohs, Panthers VS Eels, Tigers VS Sea Eagles and Broncos VS Storm are all known rivalries What's the full draw? Have the NRL pitched the Dogs up against the Warriors because they see this as a battle of two low-brow / lower socio-economic (predominant Bankstown and South Auckland supporter bases), even dare I say 'ethnic' based clubs??
Kieran Foran returns to Mt Smart.

Shaun Johnson returns to Mt Smart would have been a better opener to the season. All the head honchos in the NRL had to do was just send the Doggies to Newcastle to play the Knights and away we go.

Former Cowboys legend Ben Barba having a meltdown on Aussie news:
Not sure how much blame I place on Barba for this one. Chased around and harassed by reporter until he snaps.

Been discussed I see.
This was obviously soooo this morning ...

Never a dull moment in the NRL, and that's not even counting the actual onfield stuff!!

i would imagine head office can not wait for the first game tonight. They will be praying for a bit of on-field controversy
-
@mariner4life no doubt a player will slap a cheerleaders ass on way through the tunnel!! then glass some cheeky fluffybunny in the crowd for good measure.
I'd love to see them roll out a 'rough as guts' marketing angle for the NRL. I can see it now.. "Love us warts and all, and by warts we mean the genital kind!! yeah boi!!"
-
I'm looking forward to having the NRL back tonight, and the AFL next week. Footy from Thursday to Sunday arvo, heaps to choose from.
Might mean i watch less horse racing, and gamble a heap less.
But probably drink more.

I think the big winner this offseason has been the beetota advocate

With their ongoing NRL disclaimer of "we didn't even need to make this shit up!"

It always amuses me how little effort some league players put in after a break.
Oates put no effort in to that when the ball hit the ground.
Melbourne squeezing Brisbane to death

I'll watch the first two rounds of the Tigers and see what Mags has made of them. If they suck, I'll deliberately skip him when it's my shout and not watch any more NRL for the season.

The last time the Storm lost their season opener was back in 2001.

Yep. Easy money!

On a work trip in Victoria this week and we got taken to the game.
AAMI Park is an awesome stadium to watch footy, especially where we were up in the top tier. Felt like we were sitting right above the field.The Broncos were bad, but Melbourne did strangle the life out of them.
Matt Lodge got booed every time he touched the ball - we had to use google to find out what he’d done. Smashed up a hotel room in the US when he was 18 or 19... There must be more to it to cop such abuse from the crowd. Wonder if the wife beaters and rapists get booed too?
Another thing that you see live but not so much on TV, the blimming ‘water boys’ are right behind the play for the whole set, barking orders and calling plays. It’s like having an extra man on attack. Why is this allowed? It’s fucking rediculous.
All in all a great night out!
