@gunner said in NRL 2018:

@sneakdefreak what do you reckon Kearneys attraction is with this Gelling fulla?

He looked seven shades of shit last week when he came on.

Main attraction is that Beale and Ayshford are currently injured and they don't want a young player sitting on the bench for 75 mins when they can play 80 mins in the NSW Cup. However I personally would start Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad at centre if Kata can't play.

[Sneakdefreak]

So Gelling is in for Kata (ankle injury) and Mason Lino is in for Shaun Johnson (leg injury).

Game of the season right here. Error after error. 6-0 roosters over the dogs.

Foran is so shit

[raznomore]

@mariner4life fuck what a horror show.

You can see why the warriors were so shit last year. Foran was clearly stinking up the joint***. How lucky are we he jumoed ship.

***not soley his fault of course.

[Sneakdefreak]

I think Foran is done as a NRL player. Mentally he just isn't there.

[Gunner]

What a start by the Warriors.

3 very good attacking sets and one excellent defensive set and now a try to start the game.

[Gunner]

And then concede back to back to back penalties...
But excellent goal line defence and Dragons knock on gets them out of this particular pickle.

[Donsteppa]

5 tackles to make 15 metres for the Warriors on that set.

[Gunner]

@donsteppa yep too lateral on that set

[Donsteppa]

@gunner Luke has finally figured out the need for a dummy half run on this set.

[Gunner]

Just in case anyone didn’t know already, Warriors love giving away penalties.

[Donsteppa]

Huge defence from the Warriors.

[Donsteppa]

Tackling Bunty Afoa looks like trying to stop a freight train.

[Gunner]

@donsteppa was just going to say I love his play.

Gives it everything, every time!

[Gunner]

Maumalo got his timing all wrong there, Warriors under pressure again.

[Gunner]

Fuck Tohu took a big hit there, he’ll be gone for the night (or longer) I reckon.

Penalty count 1-6 against the Warriors. Gee they make it hard on themselves, although they do seem to be getting pinged for some of the things the Dragons are getting away with.

[Donsteppa]

@gunner Yep, Dragons seem to get away with murder in slowing the play the ball down.

[Gunner]

These dumb mother fuckers don’t learn.

Another 2 conceded in 60 seconds.

That is 8 penalties given away in 27 minutes

[taniwharugby]

awesome effort there on defence

[Gunner]

Oh Christ on a bike, Luke makes a good run on tackle 2 then drops it in the tackle.

If we can survive the next 10 till half time unscathed it’ll be a miracle with the amount of pill the Dragons have been gifted.
