All NRL Games [Round 7, 2024]

[BOZO]

Harper has been a good pickup by the Eels.

Maybe we could interest them in Josh Shuster.

Maybe they can also pick up Parker and Woods

 

[Eagle 1]

Anyone up for a laugh head over to The One Eyed Eel.

yep, that's where I'm heading now..lol

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

What sticks in my mind is Gutho telling Jack Bostock to get up after scoring his first try - then Bostock going on to score two more.

 

[The Who]

That was the biggest collapse since the World Trade Centre towers.

 

[bob dylan]

Kristian Woolf seems very impressive.

Some of my favourite quotes from the 1eyedeel for your entertainment.

1.“The Parramatta coaching box is who's who of the lowest standards of coaching.”

2.“How dumb are we, we support this pathetic mob. how to waste 63 years of an otherwise fruitful life.”

3.”Watching Parra play is like feeling the pain of chronic arthritis and living with a constant acute mental illness ”

4.”BA is an absolute fraud. A sneaky, cretinous, sly bull**** artist with no shame.”

5.”Geezzz Enis is so butt hurt and such a jizz guzzler. Kicker gets taken in the air and he acts like a girl scout.”

6.”FML. We are dog . Morgan is so slow and un-coordinated, fell over his own feet.”

7.”Dip**** Arthur has to go now... I don't care... get a $2 bag of roadside horse **** and put that in the coaches box, it will be no less effective.”

8.”A putrid team representing what has sadly become a putrid club. Never action, always excuses. Never accountability, always next year. Ennis must have blown the front of his pants out already.”

9.”Arthur is responsible for the slack, ****house, lazy, ego driven zero accountability culture in the playing group... and now that it's biting him in the arse, he's shifting blame. This is what comes from being mates, not a coach.”

How funny is it ? Their heads are exploding over there. Sack BA, sack BA.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Playing Brown on the right side did them no good last season, don’t know why Arthur doesn’t keep him on the left.

Ryan Matterson doesn’t look to be going all that well now he is on the bench..

 

[HoldenV8]

I wonder if Brad Arthur is looking at his kid being the 18th man for Manly, or playing for Blacktown, and wondering "What if??" with Moses on the sideline??

Almost guaranteed if he was still an Eel, Jake Arthur would be their half while Moses is out.

Too bad, so sad

Yeah, I wouldn’t want to be playing them next week…….oh wait….

 

[Waz13]

The 'Gong is the Bermuda Triangle of sports grounds. Strange things happen there.

I don’t bet on other sides but my bro in law and i were at a wedding last night and he was throwing some $$ around. I said get something on the dragons at $3 they are morals in the Gong. He laughed at me and called me an idiot…….

 

[Waz13]

Ginnane just said this is the Dragons best win by a long way.

There other wins are vs Titans, Tigers and Manly.

I guess he doesnt rate the maroon and whites.

That’s because he’s a f$&@wit

 

[Waz13]

Warriors flat as a pancake.

I fear for us tomorrow arvo.

If nothing else, we will learn a lot about our current team.

Remember too that Titans had a tough game v Canberra that went to GP as well. Anything’s possible this arvo. Positive is they won’t want a repeat of the dragons game. Lastly and I said this after they beat us, dragons are not a terrible footy team. Wouldn’t surprise me if they snuck into 8th spot this year.

Gotta give quote 2 the chockies here.

 

[Disco]

Interesting season this one.

We all bemoaned us losing to the Dragons (rightly so, it was a shocker).

But then we see them thrash the highly fancied Warriors......there will be a heap more random results this year.

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

As we all suspected, the NRL officials and bunker are still calling every dropped ball a knock on.
Manly vs Penrith try to Tolutau Koula after he runs 90m from a Tommy Talau "knock back" completely ignored as a return to common sense.
Dolphins had two last night that the bunker said were knock ons, but don't look any clearer than what Talau's was.

Yeah, I've noticed that as well. Manly totally got away with that one

That will be unpopular with all of the conspiracy theorists on here who think the refs are always against Manly.

 

[mickqld]

Watch and see. This year is just a rinse and repeat of the last decade. Manly will throw up rocks and diamonds efforts and finish mid table. The GF will be Penrith v Storm with the rest making up the numbers. Nothing's changed.

 

[master blaster]

What sticks in my mind is Gutho telling Jack Bostock to get up after scoring his first try - then Bostock going on to score two more.

And dont forget how their young 5/8 milked that penaltyafter the kicker came through and he just fell to the grown. He must have watched Johnson last week

 

[The Who]

There is almost no such thing in NRL these days as "an upset".
Illawarra thrash NZ. 'Fins thrash Doesn'tmatta . . .
I regard only two teams in this year's comp as being hard to beat: Melbourne and Penrith. Say what you want about the Storm but whenever they get beaten it's an upset; they have such a pride in their performance -- or perhaps it is a fear of their coach -- that they will win almost every tight match.
The 'Riff have had the best players for the past four years so any time they get beaten it is an upset. However, their time at the top is closing with opposition clubs stealing their best performers.
As for the other 15 teams, they are rarely certainties, although Illawarra at the 'Gong, Manly at Brookie, Doesn'tmatta at CommBank and Brisbane at Suncorp are far better performers when playing at home.
The NRL and the gambling outlets have achieved their wish: form means nothing, results can be manipulated by The Bunker, and every match is a lottery.
