NRL 2024

Think getting called Luai is probably more insulting irrespective of the obvious cultural heritage aspect.
slightly different handling
-
game of dick fingers last night as two highly regarded teams repeatedly lost the ball in increasingly embarrassing ways.
In the end, messy games are won by flair players, and Brisbane have lots of them. Reece Walsh continued his balanced ledger, by making a bunch of dumb fucking errors but then pulling off some bullshit to score. He's the NRL's golden retriever.
Selwyn Cobbo looks like he is going to be an absolute menace as a centre.Reynolds limped off with a knee injury which will have Kevvie sweating.

It felt like someone was constantly watering the ball. Souths could be in for a long season though if Ilias is their half. Latrell did a lot of defence but to be honest injected himself far too late into the attack to have a difference on the game. Played into the criticism that he has always had about not getting involved enough.
Piakura looks like a young SBW v2 with late light footwork on the edge, Mariner looks like a star, Walsh still only 21. Broncos look good

Riki, Piakura and Carrigan is a hell of a back row

@bayimports In Latrell's defence, it's hard to inject yourself when Souths continually kept dropping the ball on tackle 1/2. Their forwards ball control has a lot to answer for.
You're right on Ilias, he'd have to be the worst halfback in the comp. His family friend Braith Anasta did a great job securing him a long term deal at Souths as he is not NRL standard. Cody Walker may as well just shove him out of first receiver and take over.
The bunnies were lucky Brisbane were off colour too, otherwise it would have been about a 30 point margin.

Also, it's a bit ironic that Deine Mariner is playing at the Broncs after his father used to sing the Warriors anthem back in the early 2000s haha.

Will be interesting to see how long the refs keep with some of the new law interpretations. I know some of the commentators don't like them, but I don't mind players moving in front of kickers getting pulled up. They will need to be consistent though when it comes down to drop kick time

Well if "bud" Sullivan is the seven for the Tigers, then the Tigers should start their end of season holiday now.
Prediction for the rest of the day. Next two games today sees two teams in Newcastle and the Warriors who haven't beaten their opposition in Townsville and Melbourne respectively since 2015. Don't buy into hope, both these teams will be 0-2

Newcastle were tough but ultimately couldn't hang on and lose in golden point

The Storm get away with so much at the ruck it’s not even funny
