NRL NRL Round 3, 2024 Discussion

OK I changed my mind, Knights smashing Storm is a good result. Storm beat us, we beat Knights proving beyond doubt we're a level above both of them. Desperation and cognitive dissonance does funny things to a man.
I really don't think you can compare the same team across two different weeks. If this week's sharks and storm had played us, we would have pumped both and be currently top of the ladder. A week is a long time in rugby league.

Makes it the greatest comp in the world, the Tigers can put 30 on a team one week and somehow the fukn cows are top the ladder, what a time to be a wah.
 
We are building nicely when compared to the other teams. Sure we haven't put anywhere near an 80 minute performance yet, but we weren't doing that during the early stages of last year either when we were 4/5 and 2nd on the ladder after round 5. We've shown enough against some strong/in form sides without half our spine to demonstrate we are up there again. Our draw eases up over the next 5 games for us: Knights (H), Bunnies (A), Manly (H), Dragons (A), Titans (H). On current form, I can see us winning almost all of those games (maybe drop one against Manly). That would put us 5 or 6/8.

On current form I can easily see us tripping up v Knights, Manly and even Bunnies if they finally get some form, wide open comp.
 
Man why do teams always aim up against us. Storm look nothing like they did against us. Same as the Sharks last night, both played great games and this week have looked average
Maybe it is like the days of old where teams suffered the week (or two) after playing our boys? If the Sharks beat the Raiders next week...

The Storm were definitely flat and they were out of juice right at the end....that long range drop goal attempt from the side line said it all, they knew they had no one left to run or chase a field kick.

I don't blame them, we belted them in the second half and that was an away trip for them, furthest distance in the NRL so far travel wise for the season.

You could argue the Warriors were a bit worn out this round too vs the Raiders.

Happens a lot whether it is physical or not, playing in the game of the season is followed by a mental come down eh.
