The NRL Season of 2016

[Donsteppa]

John Bracewell had a term for it: pea hearted. I don't know if it was fair for Ian Butler, but it sure fits plenty of the Warriors squad.

<p>Warriors try to get their season back on track against..... Brisbane Broncos. Manu returns to the wing so no Jono Wright. Pretty much the same 13 that got humilated by Canberra but the bench is over-hauled.</p>

Wally referred to a "cast of thousands" on the radio this morning. He wasn't wrong. What a joke

[ACT Crusader]

Thurston got away with a knock on 4 metres out from the Blues try line. Morris chipped and chased and it was Thurston's hand that got in there. <br><br>
It was physical but where is the positive attacking play, from both teams? Very little variation at all<br><br><br>

Uh, rugby league?

Water cooler warriors will still be talking it up tomorrow. At least, the QLD ones will. NSW fans will bemoan the shit refereeing, and they'll quote Gus to back them up, using big words like "disgrace" and "imbecile".<br><br>
Not enough tries in union, BTW

[kiwiinmelb]

<p>By origin standards that was dull as fuck </p>

<p>I've really been enjoying the NRL this year but that was fkn boring!</p>

[Donsteppa]

In breaking news: a Blues coach has a complaint to make.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

We complain about Marshall, Kearns and Maaardo but they have nothing on Gould. What a prize piston wristed gibbon that guy is.

<p>Clearly not a Warriors fan I see?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So let me guess Qld won? NSW's turn next week then Qld to thump then in the 3rd match?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What is weird is that until seeing Sneak's post I didn't actually realise Origin was on this week. I live in Sydney. WTF.</p>

<p>Nope not at all. </p>

<p>Gimme a cowboys vs broncos game and I'll watch it every week!</p>

[booboo]

A grand total of 14 posts on an Origin game (15 now ).<br><br>
What's happened? <br><br>
It's just been meh even over here.

[No Quarter]

<p>Used to watch it with the Mrs but we are both pretty meh about it this year. I think the over-hype in the past has kind of killed the excitement a bit. Every single thing that ever happens is fucking amazing apparently, which kind of takes away from the actual awesome things that do sometimes happen.</p>

<p>Mercifully, it was less than two minutes. I got 45 seconds in, and it peaked at "Thank you Peter"</p>

[Bones]

Yeah I don't usually tune in but thought I would this time as it could be on in the background while I worked. What a pile of shit.
