Offical Rugby League Thread

Only managed to catch the highlights package but there looked like some good footy going on in between everyone trying to kill each other.
Lol at Matt Lodge being crunched and getting straight up, proof that his brain is mostly made of lard.
He tried to get some revenge later with the most ridiculous obvious swinging arm but missed his target.
Next weekend promises to be another blockbuster, Eels no doubt favs to beat the Raiders, but Ricky has the green men rolling at the right time so an
upset could be on the cards there. Sharks and the Rabbits could be another classic, absolute coin flip that one.

All these blokes calling for Caitlin Moran to be stood down from the NRLW for comments she made about the Queen when the NRL has people like Matt Lodge, Taylan May and a litany of blokes who've touched up their partners or been found guilty of drugs charges still on the books without widespread, ongoing comment is pretty much everything that's wrong with Aus football culture.

She’s an idiot but basically a nobody whose actions pale in comparison with lots of stuff we have seen both this year and basically every other season

i’m really not one to generally wish ill on others but deadset i’m going to be livid if the postman doesn’t ring twice for matt lodge

very few this side of george pell who i hold in a worse regard

Burgey will be excited to see Jake Arthur on the bench again.

 

[Burgey]

So nervous

Like I know they should be dusting these nuffies and if you said to me at the start of the year we need to beat Canberra and nth Qld to make a GF I’d have grabbed it in a heart beat

But it’s Parra in a final under BA.

G AHRJRBSBTIWFNE FHEND X DJTANRJSMFNANFJ!!!!!!!

Back in five

 

[ashley bach]

Eels looking great but don't count any eggs just yet, the green fellows are coming in the 2nd half.

 

[Burgey]

Should be 34-4 ffs.

They’ll have a red hit go but if Parra score first second half it’s done. It should be now tbh. Would be Parra’s first loss after leading at half time for the season.

Anyway, can’t complain about the way they’ve gone. What a difference Brown and Gutherson heavily involved. Went missing last week

 

[ashley bach]

Superbly timed run by Mitchell off a great hit n spin pass, never looked like he was going to be denied, conversion felt inevitable.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Jake Arthur on. Moses not being able to last a full game makes it a lot clearer as to why he is there.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Hudson Young to be in the bin before the end of the game.

 

[ashley bach]

Raiders to win the last quarter and Hudson in bin.

 

[Son Of Coco]

You'd have to have been tempted to keep Moses off. All that can happen is he gets injured. Get some miles into Jake Arthur. Admittedly, if Canberra ran in 3 in a row, you'd get a bit nervous.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Exactly why Moses should be off.

 

[Burgey]

Well well well

The “out in straight sets” crew very quiet tonihht.

Renowned Mange fan @Shady Slim and hapless Bronco water buffalo supporter @Mister Wright very very quiet this evening

The juggernaut rolls on to red neck wonderland next weekend.

I think it made it clearer what a waste of a bench spot he ends up being unfortunately. Arthur came on and we looked headless. Cartwright/Matterson slotting into the halves and Brown taking charge has just as much of a chance of leading us to a victory (slim AF if it happens early in the game) as having Arthur there.

Planning for it is just dumb, especially when our forward rotation was exposed heavily by Penrith in the first semi. If Moses goes down, **** luck and you just have to hope for the best, it's what every other team does.

Mate, I agree with you. He's not up to finals footy, and it's probably unfair to expect him to be.

boasting about a 1-5 finals record across the last few seasons is A Choice

Expecting a big game from Latrell tonight. Hope he puts on a show.
