NRL 2017
-
Is there anything more predictable than the Warriors winning against an origin-depleted side?
And then being talked up as "back in the hunt"?
Same shit, new year
-
Kiwis name new captain: Adam Blair. The press conference was more about bad culture and infighting within NZRL.

Kidwell is way in over his head.
Also, Jesse Bromwich is appearing (to me at least) to be a bit of a c*nt.
-
Best quarter of rugby league in years
-
Hayne with some magic and then undone by some dumb attack.
Bang QLD make them pay.
6-4 NSW
-
Good hit back by Blues. Qld out on their feet.
12-4 NSW. Half time
-
This is fucking great football. Both teams playing bloody well. And it's physical as fuck.
-
Yeah, lots of hard hits and then stuff after the tackle.
Fifita causing massive problems for the Maroons.
-
Gotta love Fatty's parochial one-eyedness....
-
Chambers with a shoulder to the Pearce's head.
-
NSW surging ahead now.
I think they're a better side without Pearce in the game. Bird and Maloney in the halves is dangerous.
Hayne has great skills.....for a league player that is
-
And another after a drop ball by Qld on their line. Fifita scores.
And guess what, ITS A BIG MOMENT
-
Justin O'Neil is having a shocker.
NSW are blowing this out. Playing well and for once Gus is right, their style of play has been heads up and flat out.
-
Just checked the score. Bugger me. Glad I didn't pay the $19,000 or whatever it costs for a ticket. Caxton St will be a bloodbath.
-
Well done NSW far too good.
Fifita, Maloney, and Tedesco the stand outs, but a lot of guys in Blue were huge.
Probably only Gagai, Napa, and Cronk were better than their opposites.
If every game is that fast, and Qld do their usual "loyalty" thing they won't win a game.
-
Gagai is an excellent player and had a very good game despite being behind a well beaten forward pack.
This was one of the more physical yet least penalised SoO matches I've seen.
-
Score looks like a blowout, but man, it was close. Queensland should've gotten two tries, if not for a Gregan moment, and Gilette getting stopped dead at the tryline. Another was a silly drop at the kick off allowing NSW to score a try.
This was a game where all the origin moments went NSW's way.
This type of game would've suited the likes of Slater, Holmes and Thurston.
-
kind of signals an end of an era IMO, NSW looking the goods
And a lot of the QLD greats careers nearing the end , JT , Cronk , Slater , GI , Smith
