Dylan Walker to the Eels effective immediately.

How the hell? He's a good bench option. Perhaps he could see the writing on the wall, with Ali making 3 his own, and Berry coming back soon

Why would that matter? He's never been a centre for us he's always been an impact player.

He is a valuable squad member, I just hope we don't suffer any injuries that accentuate the fact that he's gone

I don't disagree with any of that, I was only meaning in relation to the centres. I don't think they impact his decision to leave.

Shit, as @mariner4life noted above, he's our best half.

Warriors again, it's only the Tigers

Are we allowed to pick the same team twice?

I hope so, as I've now picked the same team 4 times. I thought I would have been out in round 2.

@MN5 said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:

She crashed into several parked cars, "including a Tesla" how is the Tesla more relevant than the others ?

I assume her defence will be that she was aiming for the Tesla but accidentally hit the cars not owned by twats because she was drunk.

I thought Reece had become a Sydney socialite for a minute there.

@Frank said in Movie review thread...:

@Nepia Did it have a ton of Adrien Brody mournful looks?

Sadly, it had a ton of all Brody's looks.

The Brutalist: Finally finished watching this, maybe took me four sittings, so less than a Zac Snyder movie.

Even if Brody's mugging is set to one side this movie is bollocks. I was quite liking the architecture stuff early on, but this was at times TV movie drama mixed with art movie that at times seems like it's trying to be Soderbergh (upbeat music over setting up shots etc) but everything just took so fucking long. It's a 2 hour move that runs over 3 hours when it doesn't need to and still misses so much of the story that the narrative is at times hard to follow.

To make matters worse it's not even based on a true story.

One more movie to watch on the Oscar noms list but will be hard to dislodge this from 10th.

The funniest thing about this thread is how many posters now consider that Super rugby form actually counts for AB selection.

@MN5 said in Movie review thread...:

Keeping with the Arnie theme…….

( is this his most underrated film ? Fucken love it……)

I wonder if this will more closely align with the book than the Arnie movie? (Not watching the trailer as I don't do that as a rule, so this question might be answered within the trailer).

Clark is another new Warrior that I've been very impressed by

I thought he was just Jazz with a different name, but he appears to be an upgrade at the moment.

@mariner4life said in NRL 2025:

No chance, surely? If he made way and they kept pompey i might actually just stop watching

It's the Warriors, I'm always setting myself up for disappointment. Berry has been a favourite of Webby, and he seems to like Pompey as well.

I don't think Pompey is nearly as bad as made out, TBH he's like our own Aussie journeyman that the Warriors love to bring over and give lots of games too.

I am prepared to continue to be presently surprised though and hope this is Leiataua's break out season.

@mariner4life said in NRL 2025:

Leiataua is my new favourite warrior, and there is something there to work with.
Our middles are good.
Our best half comes off the bench as a forward.
Dick fingers Ford is having a good season.

Agree with all this. Even the Ford part.

Yeah Leiataua is great, I've been waiting for him to get a decent run, watch him get replaced by Marty Berry's kid soon.

Da fuq happened here? I switch over to the league at half time, then watch the 2nd half this morning and it's a totally different game. Glad MP showed some fight, but FFS, the Chiefs just went to sleep.

Also, is this really the year the NH-stans want to take a dig at defence in Super rugby considering the scorelines in this years 6 Nations?

So should CHT

You should put him down more often.

Big win in a grind, a lot of positives with our first win over those fluffybunnies since 2018

Hard to believe we haven’t beaten the Sydney Sombrero’s in that long!!!

Not hard for to believe me because I keep going to see them at the SFS.

CNK would have gotten a red card for that in NH rugby.

WTF kind of conversion attempt is that?

Why on earth is the Pommie dude the captain of the PI team. Sheesh Tana.

Thought kick off was 5:30. What's happened to MP?

I might watch the Warriors live and then come back to an extended replay of this one.
