The Silver Fern

Took time out from work to watch the 49ers go 4-0 at my local pub.

Our running game is pretty much up there with the best as the Breida/Coleman combo provides them with speed and strength in both the running and passing game.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield must have rooted 49ers DE Nick Bosa's mother or something because Nick was hunting him all game. Mayfield finished with 100 yards passing, two INTs and a few fumbles thanks to the 49ers defence.

Only Patriots and 49ers are undefeated. Superbowl right there.

Grand Final will be Souths V Sydney City. It's rigged.

I've always felt it's better to have one owner than two (or 32 if you count all the Auckland rugby league clubs separately). Dunno anything about the Autex family except they have some history with Pt Chev Pirates.

Eli Manning's career looks like it is over. He has benched for rookie Daniel Jones.

If Danny boy shows he's ready to take over, expect Eli to be on his way to Jacksonville or NY Jets via trade.

UPSET!!!! Raiders go into Melbourne and pip the Storm 12-10 to get the bye next week.

Manly without Turbo Tommy are pumping Cronulla 18-4 at halftime. SJ has been terrible.

The Wahine Warriors get off to a good start in their WNRL competition by beating the Roosters 16-12 which is awesome because one of my colleagues plays for the Warriors.

@Sneakdefreak you've changed. I miss the annual "niners will make the Championship game at least"

Stoked it's back! Even though Denver look to be treadmilling this year.

Fucking Brady and the fucking Patriots will probably win, because they are the Melbourne Storm, BUT, it appears they may not have a cakewalk of a division this year, because, just maybe, whisper it, the Jets won't stink.

I would like the Chiefs to be as ridiculously offensive-sided as last year and win it that way.

Jets are a chance of a wild card if Sam Darnold takes another step. The problem is that ourccorners are woeful and we're almost as bad at edge. No pressure on the passer and poor coverage is a recipe for disaster. But just quietly this offence might be good enough to out score the opposition.

Le'Veon Bell should dominate opposition defensive scheming giving Darnold a chance to beat teams in the air. Bell and Montgomery are two of the best pass catching backs in the league. Anderson is a top 5 deep threat and has shown development as a route runner. Herndon is a match up nightmare and could just end up being the best playmaker on offense, and Enunwa and Crowder are both among the top tier of WR 2s in the league. If Gase is as good an offensive mind as his reputation says them this offence will be a nightmare to cover.

This didn't age well..... Sam Darnold is out indefinitely with mononucleosis aka the kissing disease.

Can't tell if Lamar Jackson is good as a QB or the Miami Dolphins are just that bad. One thing obvious is the Ravens are going to run the ball a lot which makes teams stack in the box and therefore open up the passing lanes for Jackson.

Seeing a lot of blow out scores, probably since none of the first teams played in preseason.

Browns are on the right path but this talk about them being contenders was crazy. Pittsburgh or Baltimore is winning that division.

Looks that way. Either way it's a total dick move by Brown.

Good to see the Warriors win by giving a few young bucks a go while ditching the useless conservative gameplay for some good old adlib footy:

I think Finch came at the end of all of that or he suffered a stroke.

Roger could very well win the Dally M again.

Here's the eye gouge:

So apparently Antonio Brown will play in week 1 after "apologising" to teammates. He's now posted this on youtube:

And now he's on instagram demanding to be released by the Raiders. Dude needs help.

Warriors giving some of their younger players and fringe squad guys a run in the final game of the season against the Raiders in Canberra. Blake Ayshford's final game in the NRL since he is retiring after today's match. Also his 50th game with the Warriors.

START THE PARADE IN NUKU 'ALOFA! TONGA SCORE!!!!

Tonga may be losing this game 92-0 but they definitely win the "most impressive beard" competition.

ABs playing with 14.

@No-Quarter said in All Blacks vs Tonga:

Been a few minutes since we last scored a try

Fixed.

Yellow card? Wow, Tonga could be in (even more) trouble.

This is definitely not how Tongans wanted to end #TonganLanguageWeek....

Score now 78-0. Tonga should:
