NRL 2023 + Internationals

@bayimports Tedesco makes their attack worse because they constantly give him the ball, and he he jinks around trying to find holes, and can't actually make plays for others. He's a weird player in that he is a superstar but i think the team is worse for him in it unless he's doing shit for himself.

[bayimports]

@mariner4life thats my point, I think players like himself and Manu (when at fullback) work extra well in teams where their halves aren't as dominant as it they try to overplay their hand sometimes..but both superstars in their own right, to the point they could walk into most rosters and have an immediate positive impact.

[ACT Crusader]

They are trying to use Tedesco in the way Bennett used Lockyer when he was still a fullback. Not going to work.

He is at his best running the ball back and then running off the shoulder. His playmaking is only regulation - not terrible but nothing to shout about.

FFS, the first time I make an effort to watch the Warriors in two seasons and they concede two tries in the first five minutes! I am changing channels.

[bayimports]

Old Warriors have turned up today, seriously the worst defensive centres in NRL..not great watching

[Gunner]

Holy shit, Johnson was it with that missed penalty touch finder? That’s criminal with scores tied, Sharks with one in the bin and only 5 to go.

[Toddy]

What was the deal with the Sharks player getting binned? What did he do wrong?

Wondering the same myself

@Gunner

MASSIVE! MASSIVE CALL! Finucane is pinged for a hip drop tackle and gets 10 in the bin. It was as soft as Niukore's one in the first half, but ref Cummins had no choice.

Johnson, you bloody beauty.

32-30, 20 seconds to go!

Unreal, Sharks penalty from the kick off play.

Sharks will have a shot from 40 out, 5m in from touch to take it to golden point.

[Toddy]

That was awesome. Can't believe that final 10 minutes.

[Gunner]

Kick misses.

Wow, Warriors come back from 20-0 down and get the win.

These guys have had a backbone transplant!

How good.

[Nepia]

Johnson is dropping bros all over the place and an F-bomb in the end of match interview.

[bayimports]

there needs to be an investigation!...every other warriors team 20-0 down loses by 40 minimum, well done Warriors that was an insane effort

[Nepia]

League has some weird takes though. The commentators can't believe that Hunt was penalised for knocking Curren, but if he doesn't hit him early Curren catches it.

I'm now worried that if I commit fully to the train I'll be setting myself up for immense disappointment again.

@Nepia Most amazing performance I have seen from the Warriors, thought they would concede 60 or 70 points if you were to go by how they started.

[SouthernMann]

It is our year.

I did change channels! To the Sevens - bloody hell, what a result. This new coach seems to have put some real heart into the outfit. Top work.
