NRL 2022

i don't blame the players as much as the judiciary that continually lets guys off for shit acts. NAS should have been off for weeks before the finals. But didn't get suspended once.
The NRL has zero integrity.
-
Yep NAS should have been gone for a fair bit this season but the inconsistency in the interpretations varies week to week.
This was a weird weekend in terms of instructions to refs on how to manage what could be seen as foul play. I don't think the players were any worse than what they have been in the last few rounds, but more than a few yellow cards across the weekend for sure. Even in yesterdays game, I thought a few more could have gone to the bin given what the had deemed as foul play. The inconsistency of what they march people for week to week is insane.
The NRL in my mind still has the least duty of care for head contact and even worse, when they do have concussion, some of the prior concussed players should be sitting down for a lot longer, it should have also seen a few of yesterdays players not even play.
Still, Penrith the team to beat but all teams still have something to offer. Even the Raiders showed they're up for the grind, but Melbourne did look a shadow of their former selves. The only saving grace is that Joseph Manu and Jerome Hughes now have time to get over a few injuries without having to play further in the finals.

So this weekend will be interesting
wait, i just checked the draw. how to the Eels get the Raiders when the Sharks finished higher? That changes everything
Eels should be too good for the Raiders if they can sort themselves mentally
Sharks v Souths will be fucking epic. -

The other match though will be brutal. Think only Burgess likely unavailable out of remaining players still in finals (other charges for Roosters and Storm, but theyre gone). Sharks will be sweating on Finucane though
Thomas Burgess (Rabbitohs) Grade 2 High Tackle - TBC 2-3 matches
Thomas Burgess (Rabbitohs) Grade 1 High Tackle - TBC $1800-$2500
Taane Milne (Rabbitohs) Grade 1 High Tackle - TBC $1800-$2500 fine
Dale Finucane (Sharks) Grade 1 Crusher Tackle TBC $3000-2 matches
Taylan May (Panthers) Grade 2 High Tackle - Guilty, early plea 1 match
Spencer Leniu (Panthers)Grade 1 High Tackle - Guilty, early plea $750 fine -
@mariner4life and I’m hoping the Sharks stuff them bunnies.
Don’t care who wins the other one

assuming the winner of that gets to face the Cowboys, i hope they beat each other senseless
-
@ACT-Crusader lol, I dont like either of the supporter groups, but the sharks players seem to be a better bunch now that Gallen is gone. Graham still lurks though. Bunnies full of people everyone loves to hate
I will support Parra for the other one just so Ricky throws another tantrum about how they were robbed

What’s wrong with Graham? He’s always seemed one of the more likeable bogan rugby players.

You are in a very very small minority (an island of 1) on here wanting to see Sticky celebrate any winning….

@Nepia Gallen clone and disciple , haven't forgiven him for previous years of infamy, used to be one of the dirtier players about (although in last 2 years he has spent most of his time injured), so not up to it as much lately

yeah, when the Sharks were absolutely packed with grubs like Fifita, Gallen, Ennis, Flanagan, Jimmy Maloney (who i actually liked), that tattoed winger who kept getting fired by everyone, i thought Graham was one of the least offensive.

he'll still whinge that the Raiders were dudded by the ref even if they win the penalty count and get every 50/50 call and win the game. weak gutted dogs everywhere

Hmmm not for me. Thug is in the eye of the beholder I guess. 😉

@Nepia absolutely some people actually like Gallen too

@mariner4life ha ha, well probably not on this board but I suspect an army of Cronulla fans would say otherwise

Kiwi League world cup squad ... seriously SJ?
Raiders rookies in Kiwis sights for World Cup
In form Raiders rookies Matthew Timoko and Sebastian Kris have been named in an extended Kiwis squad for the World Cup

seriously, yous got what yous wanted
-
If he makes it and it’s a massive IF, SJ would probably play the house down, knowing the Warriors luck….
But looking at that wider squad I would take Martin, Foran, Nikorima, Hughes, Brown all ahead of him to play at halfback or 5/8
