NRL Round 1 discussion

voss is worse than anyone, he doesn't know half the ******* rules. someone dig up the thread from last year where i ranted about voss not knowing the definition of a double movement.

Vossey's problem is he learned everything he knows from those fossils and just repeats their innate bullshit.

No way Voss is worse than the idiots on 9 last night.

Really enjoyed the FoxSports coverage.

Parra off to the expected start then. Very good crowd there though. Was good to see.

 

[The Passenger]

How shit is the intro video to channel nine? Most of the sound effects are out of sync with the vision.

We joined some minutes late due to the basketball.

Going for Canterbury as these people literally vote for Tony Abbott.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Holy shit I remember Trent Barrett as a player.

 

[Gigantic]

Hopefully the quality of tonight's game is a lot better than last night's one

 

[Aucklander]

Looks like a good crowd in tonight too.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Did Ray Hadley get fired?

 

[Aucklander]

Bulldogs looking good. Great to have quick decisions on tries too.

 

[Gigantic]

Dog are all over this game

A lot better than last night's slop fest

They look really sharp, while Manly are very, very poor.

 

[Angus Young]

Manly are shit

I expected an arm wrestle tonight

 

[Gigantic]

I think it's going to be another long season for Manly

They're going to have to sort out their halves issue. I don't think Walker is made for 5/8

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Walker has played 5/8 as a youngster so it's not new to him. New combination, new club, he needs time. People were saying the same thing about Milford at the start of last season and look at him now. Manly missed Stewart tonight but the Bulldogs just came out wanting it more and were much more settled. Way too many errors by Manly which cost them dearly.

Well aware of him playing 5/8 in the past. He is a very skilled player and world class centre but I think he would be a better centre than he could become at 5/8. But you're right, way too early to tell whether Walker will be a good 5/8 or not

 

[SloaneysDanger]

He has no where else to play besides 5/8 or wing so he'd be better utilized at 5/8 which is why Barrett is playing him there. He's a waste on the wing. No place for him at fullback or the centres at the moment.

You don't think Barrett might hit the panic button later in the season if Walker doesn't settle in to the position and move Lyon to 5/8?

 

[Lord Rod]

Canterbury played brilliantly last night. Looks like Des has adapted a good strategy for the new rules. The forwards are lighter, fitter and looked mobile, yet they still completely dominated Manly in the ruck. Mbye and Reynolds looked like a great halves pairing, and a kicking game with left and right foot kickers is a bonus..

Very impressive season opener from the Doggies..

Walker is not a five eight and never will be. Barrett needs Lyon into the halves asap..

 

[Angus Young]

Gona be a long year for Penrith... Raiders aren't much better. Both teams ordinary defense.

 

[Colonial]

And am watching the tigers game. 1st time in years. Hopefully a good game by them

 

[Lord Rod]

Tigers up by 24 at halftime.. I have to admit that I thought the Warriors would belt them..maybe JT can coach..

Yeah JT is shit house.

 

[Aucklander]

Woeful 1st half by the Warriors, absolutely woeful. Really, only a few good minutes which can give us fans much hope for the year.
