NRL 2023 + Internationals

Hook Montoya at half time, one of the worst defensive displays of the season for any team.
And turned the ball over twice by dropping it cold and then getting tackled out of bounds like a rookie.
Man the nerves were a little shot watching tonight. How many times did we just open the door for them. Turnovers, bad reads, sloppy ball control. But man we know how to score when we want to. Loved what we did up the middle during the good patches. Harris was huge (again).
Dallin is pretty unstoppable once he’s about 5m from the line because of his hops and body control.

@ACT-Crusader between the warriors game
And then the lions being in the danger zone of 5 goals up with 7 to go
Last night was not an easy watch... -
This season has been really good from the Warriors probably close to if not their most consistant season. The reinstatement of a Reserve Grade has further added to this. They are also adding further teams in other feeder competions. Love what they are doing.

Thought Metcalf speed was quite dangerous on the left tonight and he had some good kicks too, but defensively outside him on that left side was carnage, Montoya especially had a shocker. Even with the ball he made mistakes.
Loved what the bench added, probably missed Barnett as well, Bunty will be straight back to bench next week.
To the letter of the league law CNK was ok, that taking out someones legs in the air was careless and we got lucky. I've seen us countless times on the wrong side of those decisions and am thankful for the team to have been lucky last night. I hope they change the rule on that for player welfare though.
For me that was one of DWZs best games, not just finishing, but breaking the line, hard running to inspire the rest fo the team, couldn't ask for more from his wing last night.

Realistically they have to change that rule over the off season now.
Glad we got the luck this time though.

@bayimports Metcalf must’ve read my post during the week 😎
He looked really dangerous in attack. Great speed and varied his depth too.
Liked what Walker brought off the bench too.

This knights v souths game is high quality

Knights very strong, looking forward to Roosters v Souths in last round to probably end one or the other’s season
-
@ARHS It's only the Bulldogs.
Roosters will come in for Souths who will fall out of the 8. Souths will also lose Latrell for the Roosters clash and their season is already on life support.
I'd want to avoid the Knights with the way they're currently playing.

Absolute grub. When his team is losing, he’s shown that he can’t handle it and has these brain explosion moments

Things sorted themselves out this weekend
Penrith and Brisbane will finish top 2
The Warriors will be Top 5 at worst, and should lock in top 4 against the Dragons this weekend.
The Storm and the Sharks are battling for fourth, and Canberra's points diff will see them finish outside the 4.
Newcastle are not safe yet, but they are flying, and still have the Dragons.
Souths are in trouble. One game left, it's against the Roosters, and it is looking like an elimination final. Given Latrell may miss, they will not start favourites.
The Cowboys and the Roosters just have to win out, but only one of those sides has any form.Based on the last couple of weeks, you expect Newcastle and the Roosters to make it, while Souths and the Cowboys get early mad monday
-
@mariner4life pretty much summed it up
Warriors also need to be careful, Dragons looked better in last two weeks than any game previous. Given our for and against is very similar to Melbourne and Cronulla, just need to keep winning. Home final would be great.
Souths in trouble, but I am going to say Latrell won't miss it, he went for a grub shot, pretty much missed and hit his back, I don't think they will make him miss a match for that.
Newcastle looking like a team you wouldn't want to run into heading to the finals, but I don't think they're at Brisbane, Penrith level. Those two teams are just at another level.
....and Parramatta although their season over they may just have the kid with the best name in the NRL next year, it appears Will Penisini has a younger brother Richard lol
-
@ACT-Crusader Yeah no need for it really.
-
just as i posted Trell gets charged...they might actually contest given the need to have him, although he clearly lost his marbles
-
he played an absolute stinker and lost his shit. again.

I assume Souths are on the phone to Farrell's legal team.
-
@bayimports Will the whole intent argument go the other way in this case? Usually it’s used to say why an incident isn’t as bad because there was “no intent” to hurt etc. But in this one Latrell clearly did a dog act for no other reason to get a cheap shot in. The tackle had been completed and he comes in late with the elbow. The intent was there no doubt about it, the execution just a little off…
Still a grub even if he gets a fine.
Just to add, I hate Souths and they are right up there with the Storm for my hatiest teams 😉
-
I wouldn't bother if I were Souths. The wheels have completely fallen off and they'd only be making up the numbers if they somehow scrape in to the finals.
