        You knew as soon as that happened that it wouldn't blow out too much.

                Why do Melbourne hate is so much? They lose games all the time to shit teams where they for some reason don't turn up.

                But they are always up for us. Why? We suck. And have for ages. Are they still angry about 2011?

                Nah they don’t hate them , but the warriors storm game always has a lot of interest , sells well, and has a bit of a blockbuster feel. The players get up for that .

                Next year when the afl do their gather round , there has been talk of the storm warriors going to a bigger stadium either Etihad or the mcg .

                  His team mates are horrendous. That Knights performance was possibly the worst I've ever seen. They couldn't even get through 1 tackle before dropping it. They were lucky they were playing a team still finding their feet otherwise it could have been 50+.

                  A real stinker of a game put on at the appropriate time slot at the end of the week.

                    Really enjoying the stepping runs of Ethan Strange, return to form of Hudson Young and skilset of Joseph Tapine for my Raiders team. Could be a top 4 team within a year.
                    Amazed at the decline in Penrith.
                    Storm and Bulldogs looking very good indeed.

                      The way this year is going, top four isnt out of the question for them this year, plenty of question marks about so called top teams.
                      Storm still look untouchable but others at the top look clunky and have weaknesses in most games. Storm probably only have some weaknesses on a very wet track

                        While you can't win the comp in April, jesus Melbourne are good. If Hughes stays fit all year they are clear favourites.

                        Dolphins are finding their feet, while Penrith have lost theirs.
                        The Titans are going nowhere, and despite this win, neither are the Dragons.
                        Sharks beat what should be a finals team, but gee Manly are mentally weak.
                        Cowboys get a nice win down South, but the Bunnies are smashed by injuries.
                        Eels get eliminated again, and are barely NRL standard at the moment. Raiders are going well, i don't see any team not called the Storm who you would confidently call better than them.
                        Lets not talk about yesterday early game
                        The Knights stink. Ponga looks like he has had enough. Good on the Tigers for proving they are not a bottom tier side any more by putting them away.

                        The Knights are an incredibly bad attacking side. 46 points scored across 5 NRL games is appalling.
                        Testament to how far the Panthers have fallen, and where their real problem lies, is that only the Eels have conceded more points.

                        It's going to be a weird season. Melbourne are the stand out side. There are a couple of decent looking teams behind them in the Dogs, and i guess Brisbane and the Raiders? Then a heap of flawed teams, and a couple of really shit ones.

                          @African-Monkey Knights are awful and now destined for the bottom 4. Ponga looked disinterested.

                            O'Brian got saved by Ponga in 2023, when they went on a similar run to the Wahs. How he's in his 6th season as Knights coach I'll never know. Mediocrity personified.

                            Ponga deserves a better team and there comes a limit to when enough is enough.

                                oof, Lachlan Galvin has rejected the Tigers' offer, and they've grown a back bone and said "ok, no problem" and just announced he's not staying. Also very strongly saying they won't release him.

                                NRL player managers are the fucking worst, with Isaac Moses the worst of the worst

                                  It's a shame. The Tigers are going places and he could do some great things with an elite half like Luai, but sadly his manager has gotten into his head and now we have a young talent like Galvin who's gonna have a massive target on his head from media and fans now and it will affect his career.

                                  I don't blame the Tigers for being pissed.

                                    $5 million on the basis of prospective performance and he has the gall to say that's not enough. Fuck him.

                                          You know, I'm not usually into the 'send him down to reserve grade' sort of behavior, but if the Tigers did and chose to prioritize Latu Fainu going forward, who could blame them?

                                          This whole Galvin saga has dragged on and on and will have become a massive distraction in the process, and they've done everything in the process to keep him, so yeah, the Tigers should flog him off I feel. Sadly they have 2 years left with him.
