NRL NRL Round 2 discussion

Thought Storm were very average tonight. Tigers played a fair game.

Pretty much. Well deserved win.

 

[boncer34]

We were garbage. Tigers turned up to play and were the deserved winners.

Defense was a joke, off load after off load drove me insane. Vunavalu had a nightmare.

Sidenote forward passes are giving me the shits. Both sides flicked them at will with no call from, its becoming a blight on the game IMO.

 

[Davo23]

The tigers should have been down to 9 or 10 men, not 12, constant spoiling in the ruck to slow down the Storm.
I guess it worked this time.

I wouldn’t watch to watch that rubbish every week.

I found it hard watching the Panthers Bunnies game, due to the jumper clash, might have been due to the game being in daylight.

Was trying to watch the stormers blues game in Union. Both teams wore nearly the same blue. Now that was hard to watch.

I wouldn’t want to watch the tripe that the storm put out yesterday either.

So in other words, the tigers beat the storm at their own game.

 

[Oscarman]

Season over for Parra. See you next year.

 

[Aucklander]

Just got home from Kilmore and checked the HT score. Unbelievable.

 

[phantom13]

As good as Manly have looked Parra have looked equally as bad

 

[Andrew Mc]

Well that was enjoyable...

Didn't see round one but Tigers look like they could be hard to score against this year if they can keep it up. Marshall's kicking was also superb. They pushed the rules but all teams do it, sour grapes to sook it up over that. Storm were bog average yesterday, they have those games every so often. That's football.

 

[DEVO]

Parramatta won’t be winning this years premiership. Another disappointing season for us Eels fans to sit through.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Just saw the Manly v Parra score. Ouch.

 

[balmainforever]

Well done knights for going down to Canberra and pulling out an unlikely win. Good to see knights and tigers in the top 5 and shire and parra in the bottom 5. Just a shame that one of them will win next week.

 

[PhatBoy]

Lol at Parra.
No better group of fans to heap s**t on.

Canberra, geez what a frustrating side. Very rarely do they get genuinely outplayed, but f*** it is impossible to get 80 minutes out of them.

 

[NSWCROW]

Well it took until the last game until we saw a cracker.
Rest of the rd was a shitfest.


Raiders fans better get used to s**t losses like that this season.
2 weeks in a row ffs

 

[phantom13]

I thought Broncos v Cowboys was a good game with a finish I’ve never seen before no less

 

[balmainforever]

What an inspired pick up from the titans, Jayne has been for parra.
After being 14-0 up after 20 mins of the penriff game, they have now let in 78 points in the 140 mins.

 

[balmainforever]

Nice quote from the DT tonight.

"According to Fox Sports Lab, no team has ever conceded 50 points in a season and gone on to win the premiership."

 

[moto748]

Just watched Storm/Tigers. Great effort from the Tigers. Benji's still got it, hasn't he? A superb half-back performance. I can't remember the last game where I saw Melbourne do so much defending.

 

[Jatz]

Superb performance by our boys, away from home!

When the Raiders went up by 8 in the second half, I'd though we'd roll over. Showed a hell of a lot of ticker, something that's been sorely missing.

Btw, how ******* good is Ponga?! Kid is an absolute star.

He does some incredible things, little more experience at picking his spots and he’ll be unstoppable.

 

[Angus Young]

Good win. SJ, RTS and Harris were excellent. Reckon we'll know more about this side next week. Good signs though.

this...lets see if they get win away against a desperate raiders who have a huge pack.

Yeah absolutely. It's so easy to forget just how few games he's played. Doesn't look out of place at all.

I don't know he'll score too many tries but if our back rowers run the right lines, he'll get a hell of a lot of try assists. He just gets to the outside of the defender so easily.

Should be a good game. The very pleasing thing for me is, they just look a whole heap fitter than I can ever remember.
