NRL 2018

Crazy round ahead too btw. So many permutations and teams should know exactly what they are playing for come their game time based on previous games results.

Souths need to turn up and get a good win here.

Dragons likewise, surely they can't lose to the knights or can they? What a fall from grace if so. First round playoffs exit very likely (probably regardless!)

Fucking outstanding from the NRL

The Sharks were over the cap in 2015. They were over the cap in 2017. But, in the Premiership year of 2016, they were definitely under.

And this year, we checked, they are $500k under the cap. It's all good bros.

[mariner4life]

Is Greenberg having a lend of us or what?

3rd Party Agreements are important, so players can use their image to make more money

But they absolutely shouldn't be involved in a players negotiation?

Hahahaha fucking what?

It's a sell-out game for Simon Mannering's 300th game on Friday night against the Raiders. David Fusitua currently leads the NRL in tries so will be looking to add another try to lock that up. Also, Ken Maumalo has resigned with the club until 2022.

Souths sure did turn up last night. Hopefully Sam Burgess' injury not too bad

So this means Roosters just have to win for to lock in 2nd spot or win BIG if the storm don't manage to get past a keen panthers side who will need a good win and hope the sharks fall heavily to the bulldogs if they are to get in to the 4.

Panthers could finish as low as 8th otherwise with Broncos and Warriors likey to get wins

Very intriguing final round!

See Marshall and Farah are making 2019 their swan song. Crazy thinking they are both back at the Tigers

And then the Tigers sign Nathan Cleary on a 10-year-deal in 2020.

[Gunner]

Warriors making good metres down the field but mistakes in the Raiders 20 letting them down.

[Gunner]

Raiders in, Papali v Johnson on the line is only going to go one way.

Warriors missed chances early on costly now.

0-6

[Gunner]

This is a weird game, both teams appear to be going through the motions.
Warriors making quite easy metres but look very un-threatening when they get into the 20.

Johnson or Bully haven’t run it yet.

Fire up lads.

[Gunner]

Hungus scores, Johnson hits the post from wide.

4-6

[Gunner]

Whoa, miracle ball from Hiku to put Fusitua in.

[mariner4life]

I need to preface everything with the fact I've been at a golf day all day and I'm wankered

Justin Hodges is retarded.

[mariner4life]

That was shit from Luke.

[mariner4life]

Get fucked fluffybunnies!!! That's a stitch up

[Gunner]

Sloppy sloppy play from the Warriors, turning it over with a try scoring opportunity begging.
Then they’re slow to react and all of a sudden defending their own line conceding and easy 2.

8-8, really the Warriors should be a try or two ahead

[Gunner]

Leiua is a grub, he should really play for the Sharks.

Absolutely smokes Lino, causing a knock on but still feels the need for a cheap forearm to the face on the poor bloke lying on the ground.

[mariner4life]

@gunner whatever. That hit was awesome. Suck it up Lino you fairy.

[Bovidae]

Johnson might want to turn up in the 2nd half. A shitty kick is his lot on the last tackle.

Warriors need to speed the game up as the Raiders' forwards look fat and unfit.

[Gunner]

@mariner4life nothing wrong with the hit, but the usual loige bullshit forearm to the face is not needed IMO.
