NRL NRL 2025 - Round 26

[moto748]

As I've remarked before, the parallel with Newcastle Utd in the EPL is inescapable: massive home support, and plenty of past icons (Jackie Milburn, Alan Shearer, Joey Johns, etc), but little succcess on the pitch.

 

[CURVE]

Something is building at Parramatta, next year could be an interesting season if they can bring one or two more experienced players, preferably a prop and a centre/winger.

Penalties 5-3 to the Warriors, RI's 5-1 to the Warriors, ref trying to keep the Warriors in the game.

 

[Great8]

Wow, needed that

 

[CURVE]

Iongi may be the games next superstar, that was amazing.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Warriors blown top 4

Ref definitely has money on this. Doing everything possible to get them over the line

 

[Paul Kersey]

Geez bad kick there.

 

[Great8]

Great win lads

 

[CURVE]

Bring on 2026

 

[Jatz]

My god the Warriors are terrible. This comp in general is pretty bloody ordinary.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Chooks ****ed that up big time.

 

[Aucklander]

Some odd decisions. Like when CNK doesn't touch the ball and Mr Flopping his arms around all night has a challenge and clear proof of no touch. Challenge kept. Halasima knocks the ball back (if he even touched it) Parra knock on, no try.

With a bit of luck results go the other way and I won't have to watch this shit again.

Fortunately, despite the calls against them the right team won.

I don't disagree they were better, but the last call was wrong and denied us a win.

With the first one, it was called inconclusive (there was a slight deviation of the ball, but you couldn't tell if it was from the Parra or NZ player) so Parra retaining their challenge was correct decision. The second one, the replays I saw during the game were inconclusive but a replay I saw after the game showed the ball hitting three of the NZ players fingers and knocking the ball on. If the bunker saw that replay, I can understand why they called it a knock on, if they didn't then they were obviously channeling the Force.

That said, Parra were reemed by the ref tonight, so its nice to see the bunker on our side.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Hasn’t the player come out and said he knocked it on? Fair play to him if he has.

 

[Andronicus]

Perhaps in isolation.

Sum of the parts suggests Parra had the worse run with the whistle. Warriors were helped, not hindered.

There was no inconclusiveness in the CNK one as there was no touch by him. It was a terrible decision by the bunker. After 4000 replays I'm not surprised the bunker found a reason to over turn the live decision of try despite many of those replays not showing any touch.

Hasn’t the player come out and said he knocked it on? Fair play to him if he has.

Or that he touched the ball? I can see a touch, but for mine it was backwards and the first knock on was by Parra.

 

[PhatBoy]

F**k we are dumb. At what point does anyone in Bondi say ‘hey you know that team in western Sydney that keeps winning premierships, see how they don’t do stupid shit? Maybe we should try that.’

F**k off Angus Crichton. You are a liability.

If they wanted to help us we would've won.

Haha ok.

I don't know how the Parramatta player knocked the ball on, his hands were under the NZ players who touched it first. Anyway, after the match, the commentators said the correct decision was made, and the better team won, so while you may be pissed, I'm happy and that's all that matters.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Short line drop outs kill me. Time and place.

 

[damicky]

Really disappointing second half

CORECTION: Embarrassing
