Offical Rugby League Thread

[Coronis]

So I watched the HL’s and read a couple of American fan responses (ofc they’d only publish positive ones) but I think overall it was a success?

Getting a spectacular play by Manu in there helped, and I’m sure they loved the two intercepts.

But yeah having any sort of racial issue when we’re trying to promote the sport…especially in America of all places, is just awful.

Nah once they release the lines it's usually set. You just sometimes see a line paying 1.70 or whatever.

You can always check the "pick your own line" section to get something closer to evens in those rare times.

I did this for a living lol, you can trust me.

And now he’s in politics!

I really don't think I'll be able to watch Broncos game this year,
I despise Walsh too much to put up with the commentator gagging over him every 2 seconds.

Teddy was 5x the player Walsh was tonight, and he barely got mentioned until the end and even then it was mostly in comparison to Walsh and the hype about Walsh in the lead up.
I've never legitimately wished for a career ending injury as much as I do with this little ****.

Where does he compare on your Thurston-hating scale?

 

[Burgey]

Still the clear-cut 2nd favs by a distance though.

So were Parra last year

also, Manly won’t make the eight. The curse of Luke Brooks is too strong

Honestly, I think it’s worse.

My Thurston hatred was mostly towards the media/commentators

Walsh has that, plus the fact that I think he is just a shitty person in general.
plus they weren’t trying to push Thurston as ‘ the face of the game’.

They always need to suck off at least one Queenslander. Otherwise they’d be biased

Also wtf Reece Walsh as “face of the game”? The **** these ***** smoking?

Will accept late entries because of the lateness of everything coming together.
Think @thierry henry may be joining in.

Also unless the other thread is opened today we'll have to skip to week 2.

He looks just like Justin Beiber apparently.


Just like I am the long lost twin of Brad Pitt.

Yep in

My whole tipping comp philosophy is spend no time on it at all and just pick favourites though, so I’m pretty ****ed here having to actually make a judgement call every game

 

[ashley bach]

That's what makes it interesting, just picking winners is boring af

I've been picking them all my life, babeh. Ever since i joined their ranks at six weeks of age.

But he’s so marketable, all the 12 year old girls love him. Mainly because he himself also looks like a 12 year old girl

Desperately seeking Susan @Prince EWS

No sign of a thread yet from Cribbeh. Going full CPL Sim on us here. WAC.

 

[Burgey]

Ash, I think if he's got stuff going on like he said then we just bin it til next week maybe. Takes the acid off everyone

Unless he's just on a celebratory bender after securing 2% of the Dunkley vote, in which case he should get on with it ffs.

 

[Jarquis]

Why can’t anyone do it?

 

[Burgey]

got decisions to write

 

[duffer]

Why can’t anyone do it?

[ashley bach]

If it's not up by midnight tonight then we'll can it till next week.
