A thread for all 2021 Round 2 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...

Very Wet here in Sydney
Someone said to me once that Rugby Players like playing in the rain
Well , the rain will be a factor is Sydney this weekend.
Maybe lots of low scoring & Forward try scoring games.

I love the Mud Btw

High quality rain despite the shit conditions
Haven’t seen this type of rain since I left Wellington

 

[Uk Warriors fan]

4 notable forward passes from Melbourne not given.....

 

[Rizzah]

Real skill not to cough it up in these conditions.
Hope we have good drainage at the ground tomorrow!

 

[Sup42]

Footy in the tropics.

Good close game, looking forward to us playing these two.

Nice tight forwards game in the wet would probably suit us at the moment.

A couple of half time comments

- agree / what’s going on forward passes must be ok in the rain? Ref!!!!

- Parra looked so up fo it in that first 20 mins, rain or not, they were on. Let’s see how they go in the second half. I hope for the Warriors sake they prove to be inconsistent cause they’re one team we’ve gotta climb over to get to the Top 4

- wet weather football doesn’t favour the team with the lighter weight back 3. The Fox and Paps are blunted by the weather. Bodes well for our prop wings tomorrow maybe?

Papenhuizen looks like a German footballer from the 1980’s with that mullet

 

[matiunz]

That looked nasty from Kafusi

 

[Sup42]

Reffs are too scared of the cheats to send one off.

 

[matiunz]

Bit of spice in the game all of a sudden

Will likely miss some games, he’s lucky to still be on the field

 

[matiunz]

Forward passes evening up this half lol

 

[Warrior#214]

Glad to see Parra can throw these new fan dangled wet weather forward passes too. I feel like the ref is taking the pi$$

 

[BiggerD]

Just put $200 on the Warriors at +1 for $2 with Ladbrokes
Kiwis love the rain & mud

 

[Warrior#214]

What is the rule for stoppage for injury? I thought they had to be in serious condition and in the way of play? Is that not the case?

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Games like these are why I’m not a fan of the golden point. Hard fought tight tackling draws in bad weather, I was brought up on them

George Jennings is not really Melbourne Storm standard is he?
