NRL 2024

Manly are bipolar. And Seibold is the easy target because for some reason the entire comp's fanbases hate him.
But there are a lot of senior pros on that Manly team, they shouldn't just be clocking off after 20 minutes.
-
@mariner4life Yes there are. You got Brisbane, Penrith and the Roosters with Melbourne, Cronulla and so far the Dolphins keeping them honest. The rest of the comp is pretty dire in all honesty.
-
PNG set to be announced as NRL's 18th team by June
Michelle Bishop reports the NRL will have two new sides by 2030.
-
The PNG bid makes no sense for the NRL except for the fact that the country is rugby league obsessed, and by all accounts the NRL won't even have to stump up cash for it.
If they go as previously mooted and split between Morsby and Cairns it makes even less sense.Taking a defunct Sydney brand to Perth guarantees failure. Just start something new

PNG is about getting government funding which was promised, I doubt that is promised if change of government, so perhaps the rushing to get it in
Makes no sense on any other level
Strangely the bears as a brand is still quite strong, but Perth also doesnt sound that appealing
-
Western Australians hate everything east coast with a passion. You uproot a Sydney team and plonk it in Perth and they will shun it out of spite.
The only way the Bears work is if you base them in Gosford.

@mariner4life PNG bears lol

Paul Kent, what a fluffybunny
After making a career out of verbally bashing players, most especially those that play the mental health card, Paul Kent has pulled.the mental health card.
Absolute vermin.
-
oof, we've got Penrith this weekend. And as if that wasn't hard enough, our team is fucked by injuries.
SJ has been all sorts of ordinary, but he's still been better than TMM. Which means SJ out, and TMM to halfback is, at best, concerning. Do we have another fit half? no, we do not, so CNK comes in to stand off. What could possibly go wrong.
The young headless chook gets to start at fullback. He's quicker than CNK, but that's really all you can say about the young fulla yet.The pack is okay, but that backline... eeesh.
-
Also, it's Magic Round! for all those that hate the idea of Super Round, watch this weekend and see what Super Round should aspire to be if rugby was a sport that people wanted to actually go to.
-
oh, and in the rest of the NRL soap opera:
Harry Grant had his fine overturned on appeal, which makes the ref and the bunker look like the complete fucking idiots they are. At this point, it has to be deliberate right? They are just making sure the NRL is in the news all week with this shit?
And David Fifita is no longer going to the Roosters, he's staying at the Titans.

Has CNK ever played 6? Even the pack looks dicey, our usual front rower in the second row, Tohu is a broken shell of himself, our star origin bound 9 seemingly read too many headlines about himself. Actually TBH our pack is essentially AFB, if he goes down we're fucked.
Ah, that old Warriors fan feeling is back. It's somewhat comforting.
-
i do not believe he ever has no. I actually expect a "late change"
-
warriors were hoping for a CHT late in, but if CNK plays 6 then that pretty much sums up where we are it
-
Fafita backflips the day after A Crichton gets angry with Roosters, probably double loss oh funny days

Who do you reckon will play 6? The young headless chook to swap, Walker, or the reserve grade half to come in ... checks the web for his name - Ben Farr apparently. https://www.warriors.kiwi/teams/nrl-premiership/warriors/ben-farr/
Edit: Forgot about CHT as an option until reading @bayimports post.
-
if CHT gets fit he'll go straight in, but how likely is that?
