they sold out 5 straight games up to the Penrith game? Manly was just under that, and their average crowd for the year is just under stadium capacity?
And this only looks "bad" because last year they sold out every single home game (something no club has ever done)
Maybe take your boring repetitive "warriors hype train" whinge and jam it?

GFY, I didn't say it was bad, I was asking a genuine question because they sold out every game last year. Even in the sellouts this year there's been noticeable empty seats (they didn't look like 5 sellouts in a row on the idiot box), maybe corporate box assigned ones or no shows if the prices are still relatively cheap?

Jersey Flegg top 8
That was a crazy comeback by the Jersey Flegg team:

and now another banana skin, titans who should be easy beats get Des Haslers 500th game and he has just been told it will also be his final

They should've signed him for a couple more years after he got so close to the Tigers.

Well that was a very un-Wahs win. We're doing everything to win but fucking it up until a piece of individual brilliance breaks the other team's hearts.
What a run to win i though, there was a bit where he looked outside back quick.Flush that game and move on, Newcastle aimed up, and we were very scratchy. Though if Egans try is awarded perhaps it takes all their belief and we runaway with it.
This week has me super worried. This time last year the Titans gave us the worst of touch ups. Des is out, and coaching his 500th, they have nothing left to lose. I think they are broken mentally, and we should get over them, but i've seen this movie before
-
well the last weekend made my earlier post age like milk.
Manly go to Melbourne and win?
The Sharks take care of the Roosters in a 4-pointer?
The Phins put away the Cowboys?And now this week teh Roosters have to deal with Melbourne coming off a loss.
Manly play the Dogs
Phins have the bye
And the Sharks get the Rabbits' reserve grade side. -

Wasn't Leka's first ever first grade try the one where he smoked his winger on the outside, and instead of dotting down under the posts he showboated and touched down out a bit wider? The guy has power and pace that is for sure
-
yup.
and no way am i giving him a clip for it either. if my first try in the NRL was that good i would have run to the corner post and got my dick out!

Just an absolute bludger of a round bookended by two decent games.
Storm at Roosters tonight should be good. Storm haven't lost back to back for the better part of 3 seasons.
After that it gets decidedly average.
Cowboys v Dragons should be close but only because both teams suck.
Moses coming shouldn't save the Eels away to the Broncos
We're hosting a Tino-less Titans
A full strength Panthers will towel the Tigers
The Sharks should murder whatever 17 the Rabbits piece together
The Raiders will do the Knights who will be broken by last weekend.
And then we finish with the Dogs hosting Manly which will be good if last week's Manly turn up (more likely to be the other Manly though).With some short favs even a full-round multi won't pay much
-
If youre ballsy enough to back Roosters (no papi or Munster) or even the Titans, i think you could probably get odds. Wouldn't surprise me if either result happened.
Think the last match is a coin toss as well, Manly's best can win the comp, their worst though is look that reserve grade Rabbits..should be Canterbury but you never know.
The rest should be favourites easy
-
Harry Grant wow. He won that game on his own once Hughes went off and he was the only main player left in their spine.
Massive loss though Hughes. The Storm come back to the pack a bit with his injury.
-
last night might have ended both teams' season. Roosters are surely too far back now, and without Hughes Melbourne are a much worse side who you don't think will be good enough.
Great fucking game though, both teams played good footy. Yeah Grant stepped up massively.
Daniel Tupou continues to be one of the most underrated players in the comp. I'm pretty sure he's on a cheap contract. Safe under the high ball at his end. Carries out of his end hard. Plays the ball quick. A massive threat in the air at the other end. And is now the 5th all time try scorer in the NRL.

What the Warriors would give for a wing to catch a kicked ball more frequently
Hughes loss is huge. Not sure how Melbourne play this out from here, I guess either Pezet or Wishy play in the halves. Muster and Paps need for here on out, wouldnt put it past the Storm to do well in the finals, but cant see them winning everything now
-
I agree with all the praise that is coming Tupou's way, but I'll be the grinch on his performance last night as his errors last night were costly. The kickoff where he let bounce which led to the Storm scoring and his dropped ball over the line which probably would have sealed the game have come at a cost for the Roosters finals hopes.
-
yep, can't overlook those for sure. threw a ropey pass that was knocked on as well.

I see Origin eligibility is back on the table after three big name Australian players are set to choose to play for Pacific Island sides over the kangaroos. This is ramming home the stupidity of the rule that you can play Origin and a "tier 2" nation. Which was sort of fine in the old days, but now that every 2nd player in the NRL is a Pacific Islander, and thus their teams are now really fucking good, the rule is basically fucking NZ and to a lessor extent England.
So they either have to go "to play Origin you have to play for Australia" which instantly puts the International game back to the 90s (and we'll end up with a kiwi team full of "kiwis"), or you say "if you qualify for Origin (moved to state before 12, meet all other criteria) then you can play for which ever test team you want".
I know which way they will go because there is absolutely no way they are risking the prestige of Origin by playing it without Tino and Hammer and Haas and To'o and Chricton.
