NRL 2017

Roosters beat a depleted Broncos side 24-22 to advance to the semi-finals in two weeks time. Broncos will now face the winner of Manly/Panthers in Brisbane next week.
Adam Blair and Gerard Beale are average/mediocre signings. With long term deals, I suspect their cap hit isn't that high year-to-year.
Warriors made the best signing of the offseason by nabbing the Broncos trainer Alex Corvo. Ruben Wiki has been terrible as trainer and many of the players haven't been able to go the full 80 minutes. Warriors haven't had a tough trainer since Craig Walker.
Also, rumours now that the Warriors are interested in Peta Hiku again....Nepia will be pleased...
-
So right now it seems the Warriors want a backline of: 1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 2. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 3. Peta Hiku 4. Gerard Beale 5. David Fusitua 6. Blake Green 7. Shaun Johnson.
If Hiku joins the team it hopefully means that both Kata and Maumalo are on the out.They were awful for much of this season.
Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is a better centre/wing than Hiku and needs to be there. -
Cowboys get up over the Sharks in extra time.
Sharks had a chance to square it up 30 seconds from time...
4th tackle was 30m out in the middle of the park, Fifita gets the job to take the 5th tackle hit up, all he needs to do is grab another 5 or 10m to set Maloney up nicely for a field goal attempt.
Fifita the dumb fuck decides to get clever, starts running sideways, then realised he was fucking things up so tries to offload so someone can fix his fuck up but knocks on in the process.Ha fucking ha.

The NQ Cowboys should have missed the playoffs with the amount of injuries they have. Yet I wouldn't be surprised if they upset Parramatta this week.

Signing Adam Blair and Pita Hiku Kearney Jnr at the same time?

All Queensland this week in the playoffs.
Cowboys continue their run, eliminating the Parramatta Eels tonight 24-14. This is a team that should have missed the playoffs with the amount of injuries they've had, including Thurston and Scott.
Broncos dispatched of the Penrith Panthers last night 13-6. Scary moment for Broncos wing Corey Oates. He was knocked out by his own teammate following a tackle by Nathan Cleary.

Bulldogs finally pull the plug and fire Des Hasler as coach.

@sneakdefreak Wasn't Foran heading there to reunite with him?
@canefan Foran? Yeah, he was. Be interesting to see what happens there (Foran is staying in Sydney but if Hasler was to link up with another Sydney club...)
-
Wondered if Foran had a clause to exit if Des was no longer coach? I guess that'll come out pretty soon - maybe he's waiting to see who is appointed?

So the new gameplan is to forget about tackling or doing the hard stuff?
Mannering should be the first player picked in my opinion.@sammyc WTF - I was never a huge fan of Mannering but he's been class in his later career as an absolute workhorse. If he was Aussie he'd be lauded as the best buy ever for the Warriors.
I'm ultra worried about things now after reading that article! What 'brand' of football are the Kiwis going to be playing?
On a side note, I'm playing league live 4 on the PS4 in career mode as the Warriors and I reckon Luke is on track to be the Dally M winner.
Mannering never makes a Kiwis side (for some reason you can't pick a Kiwi squad you just get random players) but is always close to the top of tacklers. Review of game: Not as good as the previous version, but playable once you figure out that scooting from dummy half is the best way to make ground and then score in close. -

Call me cynical but I don't see those guys coming up with a perfect new gameplan to fool the Aussies.
