NRL 2021

the comp is so uneven it's not even funny.
Tommy Turbo gave the Sharks a hiding last night. The Sharks are in the 8 (but that's nothing really to celebrate this year) but they were thumped. Again.
Melbourne and Penrith sit way out in front with 15 wins and a points differential of +1,000 (actually that's not even close, the Storm are 120 points in front there as well)
The bunnies and the Eels are only 1 and 2 wins back. But that's a false gap, in actual fact they are light years behind.
The Roosters are somehow still 5th despite missing half a roster. Will be cannon fodder for the top 2
Manly are 6th, and are the only smokey outside of the top 3 for a GF berth based purely on their fullback.Everyone below this mark are dogshit. The Dragons in 7th are 8-9, Sharks are 7-10. These teams will play finals FFS. 10 of 18 teams have a losing record.
An old school Top 5 finals series would be a far better spectacle than what week 1 of the finals will serve up.

@mariner4life Turbo is in unreal form.
His stats last night:
227m
3 tries
3 try assists
3 linebreaks
4 linebreak assists
4 offloads
15 tackle busts
4/4 on defenseAnd he didn't even play the whole game. Got subbed off around the 65th minute mark.

And by all accounts right at that point Manly returned to being the Manly from the start of the season. Never has so much rested on the the hamstrings of so few.
Tommy T v the Storm next week should be fun
Melbourne 30 - Tommy T 8

@bayimports Got him in my team
I feel bad for people who want him now, because he's so expensive. He was quite cheap early in the season.

Yeah a must have player. I was dumb enough to take the C off Turbo and ended up looping Cody ,,big mistake, top 500 will be gone now.

I did the same, but I put Haas as captain instead.

Kane Evans in the bin for the second time today. Obviously not the same rule as Union. Also been put on report three times I think I heard the commentator say. He is having quite the game.
16 all withn 12 mins to go. Make that 18 16 Warriors.
-
Pretty gutsy win by the Warriors.
Evans did his best to lose that one for us. He probably didn't deserve to get that 2nd yellow though.
Aitken and Curran looked good in the second row. Both went very well.
AFB and Lodge were big too. AFB was probably our best - ran for 227m.
-
A couple of weeks ago, a handful of mates and I were having a couple of Friday afternoon beers as you do. One pipes up and says get on the Warriors over the next few weeks, there is money to be made. He said they always win games at the end of the season when they’re no chance of making the 8. We all laughed and thought he needed sending to the mental health unit at Whangarei Hospital.
Turns out he may have been right on this occasion.

Aitken looks a different player.
Agree on the 2nd yellow. Ironically Evans got slammed right before he got up and threw those couple of lefties on Chambers.
Funny how the winning points for us came on the back of a Sharks penalty. It’s usually us giving away points on penalties.

I have no problem with professional teams getting privileges with Covid. Being able to watch sport is helping to keep me sane(ish).

And there are benefits to the economy where games are hosted. Assuming they're not in lockdown of course

All irrelevant tho, at the time of the Wallbies getting in it was only cos we had that 1 week option for kiwis from some states to get to NZ quarantine free. Wallabies were one of those states so they got exemption to be upgraded to kiwi rules - now even kiwis have to quarantine 2 weeks no matter where in Oz they arrive from. NRL (not that we have the MIQ spaces until Dec anyway) teams would have to do the same - and they won't want that - 2 weeks in a hotel!

@act-crusader Yeah, Aitken looks impressive as an edge forward. Brown might have to keep him there next season.
I love the little wink he gives to Chambers after he scores.

Haha, I never noticed that live. Shows he’s got a little edge to him.

you know rugby league salaries are getting out of hand when Clint Gutherson wants a mill a year to play at Parra
Clint. Gutherson.
Wants a million a year.
Fucking. Lol.
-
fun game last night, Canberra threw everything at Melbourne, and at one point had the margin to 6 points
And i still never thought they would win.
Credit to the Raiders, they fair bashed the Storm, some solid hits. Until CHN got a bit excited and got a deserved red for smashing Hughes straight to the head. Both will have a couple of weeks off.
