The Silver Fern

Titans get within a whisker and a dodgy trainer from beating Penrith, great game, shame about the result.

Looool

Fuuuuuck Hooper, in an industry full of flogs this guy stands out.

Apparently smacked in to some parked cars, blew .253, and didn't provide details. Fuck this guy.

NRL360 continues to be a haven of the worst fucking people.

surprised he didnt end up in a tree, im sure he ends up on Kent's podcast though

I thought the Wahs would get up tonight. They have an ability to drag teams into dogfights, especially on their slow spongy track at home,and they executed it well, and Put Lussick on Katoa to make his life hard, which worked well. DWZ had a great game.

Big win for the Phins though in conditions which are tricky for them. Goes a long way to cementing an 8 spot.

DWZ was only better once Herbie retired for the year.. he did play better than his previous games but if you cant do that consistently retire. Webby just needs to grow a pair and give Sio Kali a run before he gets stolen

We did great to hang in that game though, great dog fight from many

Kalin Felise is out, Mount boy Jai Knight to bench

@bayimports Didn’t get on watched the whole game. Bournemouth were woeful especially to make my lot look good.

Had a close offside call denied and then missed another good chance. Second half though was awful. We have a lot of work to do. Very sloppy defending allowing some big gaps

Paulsen on bench in today’s game v Man U, likely to get game time. Hopefully he kills it

Young and Conway to declare at 600 without loss?

Going to be too hard for me this year I think, might still enter for week 1

Sharks with their roster should be doing way better. Just when you think maybe Hynes was judged harshly he brings a timely reminder of his frailties.
Galvin looking more comfortable at the Dogs and the Dogs looking dangerous. Although I still dont think they win.
Raiders looking extremely smooth and seem to know when to put the foot down.
Wahs should make top 4 but probably wont because the coach believes in his players even when some are consistently underperforming.
and Mitchel Moses is jus incredibly good

Happy Gilmore 2.
Stupid plot, low brow humour, lots of references to the original and a cast of all star golf talent. It is what it is and I actually enjoyed it. Would have preferred to see more of Paige though.

3 chubbs Petersons out of 5 shooter McGavins

Incredibly frustrating, seemed to go to shit once Egan left. No kick pressure or chase, no competing on kicks and some awful reads.

DWZ must have compromising pictures of Webby, no longer a first grader

Comms talking about redemption game for Boyd today, personally think DWZ needs one too

The Eels are a very good side despite their position. Ryles is building something really nice there, getting rid of dead wood unlike other teams, and they'll be back competing high on the ladder in a year or 2.

I'm really excited about how good this Parra side could become.

true but Moses is that good, he would lift most sides

No question, but it's the rest of the side that they're building around him that I'm impressed by.

Spine and backs are coming along, if they can get some forwards they will be consistently dangerous

Weekes wanting to play for both NSW and NZ is the latest catalyst in long line, funny NZ should almost be tier 2

@mariner4life said in NRL 2025:

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

newly registered domain, means blocked by work on work laptop... this outage keeps on giving lol

Yeah the proxy at my work is doing some slightly odd things, gives me a warning that I click continue on, then works OK after that but if I try to up-vote anything it gives me a denied message so doesn't like that part of it at all. I'm not sure I can come up with a strong enough business case for them to allow it all, but as Kirwan says the old URL will return at some point.

I assumed it was some sort of domain licensing issue at the time, was googling "silverfern forum" periodically to see if something new had been set up, but ended up seeing the email in my junk and got in from there before google started returning the new URL in results.

Do you have the issue if you go direct to this?

www.forum.silverfern.rugby

yep, blocked on work pc and need a business reason to unblock... lol

Mbeumo to Man U (71 million quid - not sure he is that good).

And Wissa just left camp, if Wissa goes thats two major losses for them

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
