Touchdown by the Hayne Plane™

Latrell Mitchell with the Hat-Trick to finish it 32-18

Poor 2nd Half from the Roosters

What an interesting round so far!

Dragons belting the Panthers was very unexpected! To top it all off, Bryce Cartwright is on the front page of the telegraph for a completely terrible reason...

Cowboys Raiders was a hell of a game. The Leilua try was definitely double movement in my view.

Roosters looked good - and then a bit average. Still a good two points away from home though.

 

[Jatz]

Oh and Newcastle finally play today!

 

[Jatz]

Started the half so well and yet finished it so poorly. Far too many basic skill errors.

 

[PhatBoy]

Haven't been able to watch as much as I would have liked - thought the season opener was quality at Shark Park, and Melbourne/Bulldogs was pretty good.

Tigers looked red hot in patches, Burgess was the only player who looked interested for Souths at times.

Listened to the Saints Panthers game and it sounded like absolute dog s**t. Some of the errors were defying description from the commentators.

Typical performance from my Roosters. Across the 3 straight minor premierships I doubt we ever played a full 80 minutes of smart football. Doesn't look like that's going to change. Dumbest team in Australian sport.

 

[Jatz]

Well that was devastating. Warriors were very average. We just kept gifting them points from dropped balls.

Eels have piled on the pressure this half. Manly with 6 consecutive drop outs but we can't break through.
Some massive hits for both sides so far

 

[robbieando]

Finally Eels get the breakthrough points wise

 

[Great8]

20-12 final score flattered the Silvertails, we absolutely battered them. Good start to the season

Indeed you just battered them in the second half. Deserved more reward.

Good end to the Round

 

[Jatz]

Just had a look at round 2 - we are in for some tasty fixtures!

How good is it having the footy back?!

 

[DEVO]

Nice start by the Eels. Offence didn't quite click, but there were some nice signs. French, Radradra and co are going to cause some headaches this season, especially as the Norman and Guntherson's combination in the halves spots continue to improve.

Raiders and Cows look awesome

Roosters are on the way up

Storm will be there again at the pointy end

Penrith were shocking

Souths are goneski

Dogs gona struggle this year

Warriors same s**t....Jekyl and Hyde.Will continue to cause stress for their supporters.

Knights have improved

Tigers looked good in attack but need tighten up their defense

Dragons seemed to have fixed their attack.... but no doubt will fade away

 

[Oscarman]

Solid start for Parra. Defence good and attack will come.

I'll reserve the right to judge things until after a month of football.

Yes the panfers looked bad, but watch them murder us next week.

Love the look of Matagi. Looks a good find for parra

ya think...

Tigers at home hard to beat.

Not sure how Penrith can turn that slop around in 7 days to be honest.

Don't get me wrong, I still think we can win, but I'm open to the possibility of a thumping like they did to us last year.

They were very poor yesterday though.

Would like to see Cartys defensive lapses up against Teddy.

With Teddy you dont need defensive lapses.

As they say, a win is a win and I'll take that in round 1. Still to watch game though, so might not like what I see.

I didn't think the Warriors were very good at all. Basically, the difference them and perennial wooden-spooners the Knights was Shaun Johnston.
