*Official* 2007 NRL Thread

Cricketer Of The Year
Broncos look so second rate this season, we'll be lucky to make the eight...
To be fair alot of teams are looking 2nd rate... People are raving about the Cowboys again but remember what happened last season? They killed it at the start of the season and then died in the ass...

Broncos and Melbourne will find it tough the same as the Grand Finalists have from the previous 2 years...

Haven't seen a lot of the NRL this weekend which has annoyed me a little bit, good to see the Warriors notching up another win. First time in our history that we've won both of our first two games.

Hmmmmmm top 8 predictions after 2 rounds

Storm
Cowboys
Warriors
Sea Eagles
Knights
Bulldogs
Rabbitohs
Broncos

Roosters, Eels & Raiders have no chance imo.

umm are you serious?
If Sonny Bill Williams high shot on Andrew Johns was a sending off offence (rightly or wrongly) then a lot of them have to come under that sort scrunity.

That said I think I'm losing all respect for Tonie Carroll. Don't mind Brisbane and their players, but Carroll is doing himself no favours.

Can't stand someone who will openly betray his country, fair enough for someone like Karmichael Hunt who grew up in Australia but for Carrol to represent both New Zealand and Australia is ridiculous.

Highlights the inconsistency that has haunted the Warriors.
not really... Last year we were consistantly bad for the first half of the season, and then consistantly good for the second half.

2005 we had a poor coach and gameplan. We didn't deserve to be in the 8
2004 we were consistantly bad.
2003 top 4 side
2002 minor premiers
2001 top 8 with a young side

I doubt you saw many warriors games from 1995 to 2000?

Yeah agreed, the carrol situation really makes a mockery of Origin imo, as does the fact that you can basically choose which state you play for based on wether you'd get selected or not. possibly the only blight on the series.

QLD have been making a mockery of SOO since it started.

Possibly the proudest I've ever felt for a sports team when Queensland won Origin last year.

I actually meant on a game to game basis mate, we would generally beat the big teams that were occupying the top 4 and then usually lose to the lower ranked teams.

Some people are now actually suggesting Queensland is part of Australia, as hard as that is to believe. :p

nothing was ever proven, the whole thing that came up last year was a huge beat up...
Despite being born in NSW & playing his first senior football in Newcastle? Seems fairly watertight to me.
