You fellas almost ready to rumble again?

Kick-off 2nd March

Joining in on the action are @BazBall21 @the big bambino @Prince EWS @Mister Wright and hopefully a couple others.

For those new or without memory check out the rules on page 136. No changes except...
Everyone has two chances to miss getting tips on in time. Missed rounds will be awarded half the points available. Therefore 4 points for a normal
8 match round, 3.5 for a 7 match round etc
# be prepared to score a duck if you miss 3
# awarded points are only available up to and including round 22
# tips to be in 30 mins before kick-off in the opening match of the round

Burgey has just opened the 2025 thread. All lines, tips and info go there.

So I have 2 chances to score more than I normally would by not tipping? I expect to take full advantage of this again this season.

A bizarre start to the League season in England with Wigan v Leigh finishing 0-0, Leigh winning it with a golden point. I watched the second half and Wigan kept butchering try scoring opportunities. First time it's ever happened before in the Super League. As someone who doesn't know a lot about this sport, does it ever occur in Oz?

Never see it. Any game with less than 20 points is very rare.

Closest I can think of in the modern era was an Eels vs Dragons game that was 2-1 up until the 79th minute, with all points from field goals.

From a quick google, there was a 0-0 draw 1982 Jets vs Bulldogs, and in 1995 Game one of Origin was won 2-0 by Queensland from a penalty goal.

Probably all hungover after the yuletide festivities!

Ugh. I was sceptical about Hull F-ing C-words and their new wealthy backers but now I'm worried. Not a good time to be a fan of the local (association) football club

 

[Burgey]

No one making comment on the brilliant start to the Ryles era. Looks like this is the year.

Always take note of what happens in the pre-season.........and then assume the opposite will apply in the regular season.

I can’t even be bothered to look at pre-season highlights it feels so far disconnected.

Also wtf, first the Super League starts off with two Golden Point games (one being 1-0) and then there’s an 82-0 blowout? Old man Feldt scores a try too.
