NRL 2022

Good effort by Manly last night.
I'm bullish on the Warriors tonight. Melbourne are struggling, and we haven't lost at Mt Smart for 150-odd weeks
But in all seriousness. Jazz is still fucking playing. Walsh is back in for what ever reason. SJ is still playing for some reason. We are about to play the Storm back in to form. You can thank us later Craig
(i might watch the 2011 Prelim instead of the live game)Parra v Penrith is suddenly huge for Parra's season.
Canberra need to win all the soft games they have left. Right now they don't come much softer than the Titans
Cronulla v Souths should be an absolute cracker
Can the Tigers put last week behind them and knock over the Broncos?
Sunday is a bit meh unless the Cowboys can come back to life (Cotter back in is huge) -

Melbourne have to beat us, I don't necessarily think it will be pretty, but I doubt they lose to us.
This week should play out as you have above, -
Looks like Marty Taupau may have found a new home and thanks to the Aug 1 deadline may have played his last game for Manly. The next big question for Parramatta is do they get him and keep Ipap..big for Parra if they get both
-
Warriors employing an All Black defence coach?
-
@antipodean strategy executed perfectly by the worst defender in SJ
-
Yeah yeah warriors
Turn on Parramatta v Penrith. Crowd is big and loud. First 15 minutes has been fucking good too
Ex-warriors with the first 2 tries (including one of our worst ever)
-
Oh and cleary a red card!!!
-
Panthers reliant on SOS to win them the game
Looool
-
Far out, if we had a decent goal kicker out there, we may have been a proper chance.
Storm playing their best grub footy tonight.
-
Haven’t checked the points gap, but I would have thought cows now a good chance at minor prem?. No Cleary, luai or potentially Falls for at least three weeks would be my guess. SOS won’t lead them through that, could be 0-3 next few weeks
-
5 games for the poster child for HGH
-
Great game just before (Sharks v Rabits)
Sharks look very good this year, could be in with a chance at the finals.
Also Andrew Fifita is a beast
-
Suck on it Brisbane!

Tom Burgess to see an extended spell on the sidelines no doubt after his high shot.

now THAT is foul play. dirty shot.
-
Gold Coast now nailed on for the spoon.
Cowboys have seen the opportunity to nick first and pump the Dragon
Top 4 still wide open.

Only got one week. That's poor from the NRL. That was a full speed clothesline.

Carrigan gets 4 for the hip drop that breaks a leg
Fair result.
The NRL is now having to stamp out another wrestling style tackle brought about because of how disadvantageous a legs tackle is. A perfect snapping legs tackle only results in a quick play the ball and no marker. So it's two up top to slow everything down.
And so yards after contact becomes this big thing. Which in turn leads to the crusher (because guys were turning their back and driving the legs) and now these where the 3rd guy is trying to get a semi-stationary player to the ground (who has legs like tree trunks).
The rugby codes are definitely facing the same issue, how do we bring back the legs tackle? Rugby should be easy, if the guy is on the ground you can get at the ball. League? Fuck knows how they fix it

and while we are on the subject of the judiciary
There a couple of absolute grub kiwi props running around this weekend who can consider themselves very very fucking lucky
The giant cat JWH gave a not even subtle old-school "welcome to first grade" elbow to the face, just another in a long line of stupid niggly grubby acts, got fuck all (old JWH loves the niggle, but is prone to going missing when shit gets real tough. I will always remember him basically running away from Ben Teo a few years back)
But he's got nothing on big Nelson at Melbourne. NAS got fined for the 22nd time this season for smashing Egan's teeth out. The bloke must have 85,000 carry-over points, but can't get suspended. The mental gymnastics the NRL had to use not to suspend him were a sight to behold. Absolutely disgraceful decision.
