NRL 2020

It's 2020 covid times, I tune into roosters bunnies second half, and I blink twice, rub my eyes and marvel at the sight of Sonny Bill live on me telly.
12 months ago he was an all black at a world cup
Whatever you think of him is entirely inconsequential, by fuck this boy knows how to get paid work!

Think the Roosters may have tanked that game hoping that they avoid the Storm next week. Eels v Tigers could be interesting.

The roosters have owned the Storm in recent finals , would they really want to avoid them that much by throwing a game ?
But it was funny the media have been praising them in the build up saying they respect the game too much to rest players like Canberra and Melbourne have done , and then they dont turn up to play anyway

Adam Blair will retire after this last game against Manly.
Average Warrior. Average Bronco, Average Tiger with the ability to be good for long periods. Very good Storm.
Excellent Kiwi.
Also gave us the best fight of the modern era
Bet he was invaluable off the field this year

I can remember going to watch league test matches as a kid , 70s
And the first scrum packed, you got the customary front row standing up throwing punches ,
Crowd used to love it

Broadhurst was a hard man , sounds like its taking its toll now ,
go to 1.26 , I was at that game ,Carlaw park, that was Craig Young he dropped ,at the time it was wow, he was the hard man front rower of Aussie league then , Broadhust was still playing local in NZ , was signed shortly after for Manly

What a performance for the boys. After 10 minutes we are down 0-10 and then pull off 15 minutes of brilliant league.
Tevita-Harris best game. Really took control and made things happen.
Watching the post game haka for Adam Blair, I was feeling proud of the team. Amazing how we’ve been able to hold it together given the circumstances. Every team has had challenges this season, but what the Warriors have done and the fact we were a couple of games from the finals, is pretty awesome.
-
Amazing that the Sharks make the 8 by conceding 480 pts, the same total points they scored, but more than the Titans, Warriors and Tigers.
The good news is that are should be just making up the numbers and they are the first team since someone (Bears?) in the 1990s to make the playoffs and not beat any of the teams above them on the table.

Was an enjoyable game, I also liked the new laws they played, especially if the ref called it a try, they reviewed while the guy was about to line up the kick to prevent delays. Thought that worked well.
The team finished with their heads held high and perfect way to send off a departing player. The haka was awesome too

Explosive allegations on the front page of tomorrow’s Australian coming out of the Rabbitohs. Alleged cover ups of domestic violence, fake identities to get past drug tests, and plenty of the other stuff.

Story about the story for those like me that can't read The Aus here:
Sam Burgess denies sensational drug use claims in Australia
The 2015 World Cup squad member, 31, stands accused of taking recreational drugs - such as ecstasy and cocaine - and is reported to have assaulted his wife while she was pregnant.
