The NRL Season of 2016
-
Nah it was a cuddle really. <br><br>
Remember a few years back when the die hard league blokes used to laugh at rugby for all the penalties kicked? Everyone takes the 2 this year as often as possible. -
You fucking dumb fluffybunny!
-
Why? No matter who you pick they deserve it. The Warriors are so frustrating
-
Why does the 10m rule become irrelevant when it's an attempted field goal?
-
WOOOOOO!!!!!

Golden Point - I think the Warriors need to go for a try as they can't set, and kick field goals for shit.</p></blockquote>Scores tied I'm guessing them?<br>
New rule, just for today; in the event of a drawn game at 80 minutes, the points go to the side who scored the most tries. -
<p>What a try!! fuck yeah!</p>

<p>Aussie presenters just put "Is league the greatest game in the world" to the vote due to this match ... they clearly didn't watch the Chiefs last night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ben Matulino named man of the match - he told Buderus that Lillyman played better. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Napa almost had a So'oialo in Rustenburg, Lauaki in his match, effect on this match - a couple of crucial errors that likely cost the Roosters the game.</p> -
<p>It was fitting that RTS had the last say against....</p>

<p> :mocking:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- But SKD did play well.</p>
<p>- The refs need to grow some balls and make some calls. Guerra taking Hoffman out when he was about to score should have been a penalty try or sin bin for Guerra. </p>
<p>- Lisone is one lucky, LUCKY, man. Should have won the Warriors the game but decided to play the ball off the ground. Grrrrr....</p>
<p>- Tui Lolohea. Tui LOLOHEA. TUI LOLOHEA!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>- Seriously, they need to move Tui Lolohea into the halves with SJ. Too talented to be standing out on the wing all day.</p>
<p>- Still think the Roosters will make the playoffs despite being 0-5.</p>
<p>- Veterans Matulino, Lillyman, Gubb got the go forward. Wasn't happy with Vete and Lisone's performance.</p>
<p>- Knew Luke would play well after copping a lot of flak this week.</p>
<p>- Start working on dropgoals....nah, fuck it, just score tries.</p>
<p>- Rugby League is the greatest game of all. And if you disagree you're a member of ISIS or Young Nats. Or both. Actually they're the same thing. Fuck you fluffybunnys.</p> -
I get the dislike of Robson, but if you move Lolohea into the halves the pressure will go back on Johnson to be the main playmaker. I kind of like the way Johnson has been popping up as second man (kinda of like a 2nd 5/8 I suppose). He gets the ball on the move and with more space. Looks way more dangerous that way.

<p>ISIS I can handle, but the Young Nats, that's just nasty.</p> -
<p>Man, what a game today. Sure, the Warriors did their best to blow it at times, but they also did well to fight back from that deficit. The Warriors at the end of last season would have rolled over and died when the Roosters went ahead. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought RTS and Lolohea were outstanding today. I don't mind Robson, I think he'll probably come good by the end of the season. He doesn't really need to do heaps, just compliment Shaun Johnson. Johnson's goalkicking still worries me. I wouldn't want to put my life on him kicking a moderately easy kick to win a game any time soon. He seems to get the yips some games, and that puts heaps of pressure on the team if they're only getting 4 points rather than 6. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As an aside, can anyone actually remember a time when Kata passed the ball to someone? That guy reminds me of an 8 year old playing rugby where he just wants to get the ball and hold the ball so he can get the glory. Yeah he scored some tries, but he took on two defenders himself while Manu was unmarked outside him. He was lucky he got over the line, because that would have been fairly unforgivable if he had blown that. </p> -

<p>Yeah, in the league forum the Warriors fans are fluffing him like crazy, but, he's always run well and hard, his defence and passing game are shocking, that never changes. When the Warriors come up against a good team, one that will actually just tackle the shit out of him he'll blow tries.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also don't think RTS was outstanding, an outstanding game means defence as well, and the way he let Orbison stroll to the line was schoolboy stuff.</p>

<p>Slight (scratch that huge off topic), have you been to Miss Jackson cafe in St Kilda? Best bacon and eggs and best meat big breakfast ever. </p> -
<p>Anyone else think Benji might be finished?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He's the starting halfback for a team that has scored 40 points in 5 games, and barely look like scoring. He was fucking awful against the Cowboys, and might not make the team this week. St George are lowballing him (justifiably given performance), and no one else seems keen to sign him up. He certainly thinks he's still got something to offer, so he's holding out for a better contract. It might not come. They've got the Broncos this week, not the team you want to play when you need to start scoring. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and how fucked have the NRL got their obstruction rules? Having the bunker hasn't even got consistency across all games, let alone better rulings. </p>
