NRL 2018 Round 20 - General Discussion


​

A thread for all 2018 Round 20 team lists, discussions, news and views. Serves as a team list thread and game day discussion for all games through the week (besides the Warriors one of course ).

Feel free to add team lists as they become available people. Thank you...

Really good games to start and end the round this week.

Broncos vs Sharks
Roosters vs Dragons

Both 50/50 games I reckon.

Cowboys are somehow favourites against the Knights which is a bit odd?

What’s up with this Bellamy bunker? Poor bloke looks like he’s being held hostage and fed lines by his captors. NRL is so bad at introducing new iniatives

 

[Aman]

Would love to have lodge come off of the bench for us. Domestic assault and battery convictions and all

I saw the first time he was on and haven't seen a Thursday game since. He still sounds nervous and not sure how much time he has to talk or when his part has finished.

I can understand using him to discuss team tactics or set plays. Kind of like players who wear mics in cricket to predict plays but using him to repeat what the commentators are saying straight after a try is so cringe

 

[Aman]

Is it me or does woods have more hair since moving to the sharks? Those peptides have some funny side effects

 

[Viking]

It looked like Isaako kicked at the ball as Letele puts the ball down, Penalty try?

 

[Tonbridge (Swanley)]

we want the broncos to win.......

 

[gREVUS]

So what do people think about the reffing so far. Started well, iimo but seems to have dropped off

 

[Dixpat]

Deteriorated to the point of being a joke with the Broncos getting every call

 

[jsmooove]

looks like we have become trend setters with the short drop outs

 

[gREVUS]

Man when townsend has a bad day, he has a shocker

 

[Fonzies Tram Line]

Ok, now that’s the Townsend I recall.

 

[razzrillinger]

Never thought they'd move Boyd to the centres and have Isaako at fullback this year, especially with Boyd having 3 years left on his contract.

But it seems to be working well.

They said Isaako had an ankle injury and that's why he wasn't kicking but you wouldn't have guessed it. That backflip he did was crazy, would have been a red card in Union haha.

Pangai Jr is improving with every game, crazy to imagine what he might be in a couple of years.

Good thing the Broncos held on for the win, a condensed 8 is good for us.

 

[razzrillinger]

Segeyaro was good last night.

Wouldn't mind getting him if we can't get Bully over the line.

 

[Aman]

Perenera is asking to be fired. Has made some redicilous calls and already blew the whistle nearly a dozen times in under 20 mins and sent someone to the bin which was a rerrible call

 

[matiunz]

Cows are absolutely abysmal but they are also looking to set a record penalty count..,

 

[matiunz]

What is the actual point of “retro round”?
Haven’t seen anything to make it any different than any other round
