*Official* NRL 2013 Season thread

you going to go to tonga v samoa?

 

[NUFAN]

I feel like I have absolutely nothing to look forward to this year. If our team were a person it would be that knight from the monty python movie with no arms or legs.

Chin up, your under 20s team is doing very well so hopefully you can retain all or most of the talent.

Perhaps the NRL should play as the curtain raiser for the 20s..

At least we're undefeated in the Holden Cup..

 

[Ausage]

Yeah they 20s are going well. I'll stop sooking, it's just been a really difficult decade to be a Penrith fan.

nah potter isn't that stupid, it'll be moltzen, possibly brooks. could be miller but doubt it, if potter still rated him he probably would've played him on the weekend.

 

[uvelocity]

Brooks named at 6 for the NSW Blews 20s team. Heard good things about him but also heard Potter say he's not ready for NRL action yet.

Tigers would do better if they played like 75% of their home matches at Leichhardt. Crazy how much they have to shift around for home games.

 

[uvelocity]

im in siddonee this weekend. might get to the game at campbelltown, spewin wish it was at leichardt

 

[Spark]

could some one kindly explain to me the context behind this picture:

that awkward moment you remember its a bye round

 

[uvelocity]

sparkeh, do you mean regarding his spray of the refs and the 10k fine or what happened when that picture was actually taken? because that was probably a ben roberts drop ball i guess

 

[Ausage]

Ricky so sticky.

Just stupid seeing this Brisbane side winning a few games. They're a nothing outfit incapable of doing damage in the competition when it counts. A waste of competition points, them beating the Cowboys.

Change the name Brisbane with about 8 other clubs and you've pretty much nailed it.

Really apart from Storm, Sea Eagles, Rabbitohs and Roosters all the other teams look like they are making up the numbers this season. The standard of rugby league been pretty poor so far this season.

After the first 20 minutes of most game, when the bench starts coming on. The standard drops massively. There no depth at all in most sides.

The fact that someone like Sam Moa comes back from England and walks into a starting XI. Makes you wonder how many more first grade standard players are now in England getting the extra cash for fringe first graders. We need start getting these guys back so we don't have to see park footballers and NYC players in NRL.

BREAKING: Jamie Soward signs four-year deal with Penrith. Official announcement expected this afternoon


their pokies' money going to good use...

 

[Burgey]

Penrith needs another half or 5/8 who kicks a lot and doesn't take the line on. Imagine he and Wlash pairing up.

Fancy kick - 20m tap , fancy kick - 20m tap. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Ausage]

Walsh isn't on big money. I'd say Soward replaces him wholesale and offers us a better passing, long and short kicking, running and organisational game. Hes an upgrade in every way. Walsh will go to Windsor and offer depth with NRL experience. We're rumoured to be after Carney or Luke Keary (Souffs 20s half, highly rated) and if not Austin, Cartwright or Scarlett are all up and comers with huge potential.

I doubt we'll see Soward and Walsh in the same team very often. Very happy with this signing.
