NRL Round 4 Discussion

[Aucklander]

Looks like another good round of footy coming up and some pretty decent crowds too I would think.

Kicking it off with Souths v Bulldogs and Brisbane v Nth Queensland. I'm expecting two very close games with no more than a try separating the teams. The latter game should be a beauty and the pick of the sporting weekend.

On saturday we have two intriguing games which could go either way. The Raiders at home should be sure things, but the Titans have been good and have the ability to upset. Manly should beat the win-less Roosters, but I'm thinking an upset is on the cards.

The Dragons and Penrith play the only game on sunday and another tough one to tip. I'm going with the Dragons, but only because of home ground advantage.

An excellent line up of games monday being kicked off by the Warriors and Knights. The Warriors should finally get a win, but if they get behind confidence may drop. Tigers v Eels up next in the 2nd big game of the round. Parra are starting to look dangerous and the Tigers will want to get back on track. Cronulla and Melbourne round off the day and there's no reason why this shouldn't be another beauty. Melbourne to stay unbeaten.

Bulldogs off to a flier early. Smashing the Bunnies around the ruck and looking awesome..

 

[Gigantic]

Dogs gaining way too many metres on every set

This is going to be a long day for us

 

[Gigantic]

Not a single Souths player seems to give a single **** about the game. Frustrating to watch

5 day turnaround from a wet SCG has sapped them. This could get ugly..

This

horrible

Added to the fact that they look scared. Looks like the undersized pack lost the battle before it even started

Keary literally looks like he doesn't even want to be there

 

[NinjaSwan]

That was a terrible decision that led to that try, definite knock on and not a penalty.

 

[Gigantic]

Mercy rule?

When you're missing 3 of your best 4 players this is likely to happen.

Assuming those 3 are Reynolds, Sam Burgess and Sutton. You've also got Tom Burgess, Alex Johnston and Zane Musgrove out as well. All 6 would be in the side today had they not been injured

Hate the Dogs but great to see the Bunnies getting smashed.
Up in Brissie to head to the Bombers tomorrow and was lucky enough to snare a ticket to tonight's game at Suncorp, looking forward to the Cowboys giving them a touch up

The last 3 I wouldn't be too concerned about if they were out tbh. Their halfback, lock(another playmaker) and best forward are out and it's clearly showing. No one is standing up, no one is showing any fight, no one can hold the bloody football.

They have to show some fight in the second half or it will be 50.

 

[Lord Rod]

Probably the best first half I've ever seen Canterbury play. Souths doing well to be only 32 down..

 

[Angus Young]

I was harsh on Dogs last week but boy have they turned it around.

As for Souths, even with these injuries this is pathetic.

 

[Lord Rod]

Better second half from Souths. Really looking forward to the GF replay tonight. Sellout at Suncorp, it's going to be a fantastic atmosphere..

Sloaney, 2 questions..

1) Where do u see Souths finishing?

2) Are your Cavs gona win the east?

1) Depends if they can keep their stars fit. As we saw today they struggle without the likes of Reynolds and Burgess. Inglis isn't the player he used to be so they can't rely on him to win them matches single-handedly. They are definitely a top 8 side and I think they will finish there if they can keep their stars fit. Top 4... maybe not.

2) Of course but we're not playing at our best right now and that's a worrying sign at this stage of the season.

 

[Oscarman]

Why the national anthem?

 

[Aucklander]

Heck of a thrashing. That first half was brilliant.
