General NRL 2020 Round 4 - General Discussion

[wizards rage]

59-0. Wow!

The new rules are going to open up the score lines and I expect a lot more lopsided results.

Warriors to crack 100 against the Titans

This is what i was talking about with early ascendancy being everything. By the time the broncos were even able to get a set going they were already knackered and that was the game. If any team comes up to the warriors and gets that sort of domination early look for a golf score. Its really really important that the warriors fight in the tackle to get up and show the ref that the other team is holding them down or trying to slow the play up. And unfortunately from what i saw last week the ref (ie which one you get) is going to make a massive difference.

Great to see the Broncos defence really taking that 1m social distancing thing to heart. Penrith, that's the standard you're expected to uphold tonight.

Are the days of the Broncos being regarded as one of the heavyweights coming to an end? There was a time you'd be committed for mental health reasons if you didn't put the Broncos as "highly possible premiership winners". Not so now...

storm have just scored a try with three elements that we haven't got;
an effective dummy half run,
a good kick
and, apart from Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, speed

Storm don't look very dominant with the new rules, however still plenty of class individuals.

 

[pbrown01123]

ha ha don't like the Storm but that was a try....If it had been us Roger Tuivasa-Sheck would have challenged the video ref decision!

Anyone see the promo for the Eels/Manly game in last night's buildup? I nearly threw up.

I preferred better than Barnsie’s remake. For all that’s worth?! Reminds me of the old Tooheys ad!

Fuck I wish we landed Dylan brown.

Score gets to 18-12 in the Eels vs Manly game. Commentator mentions a stat that the only team to score 18 points against the Eels at Bankwest is the Warriors.

Nice stat to have. But they have only just moved to that ground and during that time we can barely score a point. Makes it hard to believe and also what a rare occasion that must have been.

 

[Rizzah]

Refs and touchies need a lesson on forward inertia/momentum. Another team robbed by an incorrect forward pass call at Bankwest

Yep Roger Tuivasa-Sheck last year! a great comeback by Manly ruined by robbed try at the end. Disappointing.

 

[Noitall]

Jeez eels escape on a forward pass that wasn't just like Roger Tuivasa-Sheck last year. Slippery cu**s

 

[drunk_monk]

Geez sharks have been lucky to get away with some absurdly long tackles. Also seems to be a lot of working players heads which seems grubby.

 

[PullinTeeth]

The Cowboys are horrible without Taumololo and the Sharks are horrible with Johnson

 

[drunk_monk]

I wonder if Johnson said to challenge that hoping he hadn't shanked it as badly as he did.

 

[PullinTeeth]

We really need Taumololo, Hess and Morgan to play next week so we can have the excuse of losing to nil against a half decent team.

 

[davo]

Johnson isn`t the full shilling but then what of the ref`s...

 

[Rizzah]

The ref on that Cowboys lost ball call.... Fark

Aye, they are really a bit over the top huh.
