All NRL Games [Round 14, 2025]

[Eagle 1]

I find the sharks a boring team to watch. Just big fast forwards rumbling downfield, getting to their fronts for quick play the balls, other team just running backwards until they get to the quarter, then a Haynes or trindall bomb. It’s like watching touch footy with kicks.

I hate how frantic footy has become under the six again rule. Any tackle a nanosecond too long generates a six again until either they score or a bomb gets defused and the other team gets a go. I get more anxiety than enjoyment from watching some of these games.

No subtlety or footy skills anymore.

Wish we had a boring team like the Shsrks...lol, nah, just joshing, but I can see your point tho Btookie.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think the Warriors can and will (why not go all in?) win the competition this year. I just really like the look of their team, and if they can stay healthy I think they can match anyone. I think Webster is a very smart coach, too.

 

[Ranga]

The Wahs are playing so well. I look forward to watching them every week.

What they tell me, though, is that a front rower can really transform us. I’ve always been a huge fan of JFH because he is a front rower who leads the defensive line. He’s an absolute beast who others follow. Mitch Barnett has also been great for them up until him doing his ACL last week.

As for the Sharks, I agree with others. They are bland. I’d have AFB back in a heartbeat though (and wouldn’t say no to Brailey either).

Wish we had some good young forwards like the warriors, they have a couple of good old ones to boot….

Losing Barnett is a huge loss. They are a great watch, but how many more gears do they have??

 

[Ranga]

Two weeks in a row I’ve watched the sharks game thinking it was going to be a cracker. Instead, it’s a fizzer…

Any way you dice it, Webster knows what he is doing.
It will go to sht at some point, as it does for all coaches, but he clearly has ability.

 

[mave]

You know what I haven't seen from the Warriors halves with 20 point lead????

2nd tackle chip kicks
3rd tackle attempted 40/20s..

They are playing possession footy....and as I type, they score again.

Other clubs might have cut him after last year. It’s an unpopular opinion, but I’m a big believer in coaching stability unless it’s clearly untenable to continue with the existing coach.

Yep, no hero plays. I’m still pissed off from Thursday night.

Not unpopular here, thus why I'm backing Seibs for a year or two without Cherry, and with Fogarty.

So we have 2 in our club! 😂

Agree. And yet I still picked them. Then find out that Egans out last minute. Surely it’s in the bag. 😱
Feel sorry for Mrs.Iro. That’s a long way to come from the Cook Islands to see your son and his team get flogged.

 

[Highflier]

That 16 Fai maiunga ? Would look good in a Manly jersey, and also quite like Erin Clarke
Surely our scouts can find a few of those over in NZed?

 

[Highflier]

Ill answer my own question , those sort of players are not slow enough nor old enough

 

[wombatgc]

Yeah, drive the nail in.

Erin Clark wasn’t really setting the world on fire at the Titans, but his form has improved dramatically since moving back home. Probably the outcome of being around family and friends.

Yeah, I kept thinking they were pretenders and was waiting for them to crash back to Earth but they keep delivering.

 

[nightster]

Dolphins just run hard tackle hard and work for each other in attack and defence plenty of blokes with good leg speed getting quick play the balls. Either that or the dragons are just crap

Both, and the drags beat us 🙁🤷‍♂️

He is a coach the players will bleed for

 

[danny-boy]

Not surprised the Bulldogs and Warriors are going well they’ve both bought the Penrith culture (coaches and players) and it’s paying off.
