All NRL Games [Round 9, 2025]

[Brookie1973]

I reckon they are done. I wasn’t disillusioned by their win over easts. They have been awful this year and I can’t see them getting out of this slump anytime soon. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Broncs put a score on them. I also think the score on Sat flattered them. We really should have been up by 20 or even 30 at halftime on Sat night. Thought dce blew key pressure building moments that may have opened the floodgates.

I agree. They appear to have lost at least one too many good players. That winger Jenkins looks like someone we would have running around in the lower grades. The other outside backs are barely first grade standard. Poor Nathan getting showed up for the limited one dimensional player he is without Jerome outside him to create. And Yeo looks exhausted.

 

[BOZO]

Penrith might not make the GF this year, but they still have the players to make the Top Eight.

Remember, Manly had two wins after the first eight rounds in 2009. They only lost four more games on the way to the finals.

The Panthers do have the Players and it is up to their coach to find a way through them
Not making the 8 would be an underachievement by Cleary
He has done a Super Tremendous job making 5 Grand finals and Winning 4
But No one can Rest on their Laurels and continue to be at their Best

They are missing Luai more than I expected.

I see Fifi from the Titans has been put on the reserves list.
He's made avoiding tackles into an art form, he was always where the ball wasn't.
Finally Des has cottoned onto this ploy. And to think this lug is on 1m a season.

Fifitas lack of involvement makes our own TRex look like Cameron Murray. Surprised he wasn’t dropped long ago. Talk about wasted potential.

Also, Souths have Walker and Mitchell out, and Dodds the English export cant get a look in.
You'd think Schuster would be given the nod, sad days indeed for him.

They are missing Luai more than THEY expected, along with JFH.

Imagine selling home games to Brisbane during Magic Round, then going 1-4.

Who would do that?

Oh, that's right...we would.

A very enjoyable game to watch.

Everytime there was a tackle Qld could be seen complaining to the ref in attack and defence.

Care factor, zero

 

[The Who]

The standard in the women's match was extremely high. These women can really play. I didn't see any head high tackles so the men should be able to do it too.
The only skill aspect I think they currently lack is goal kicking.

As the women have been paid enough to be full time, they train better, more gym, more drills more physio etc.
Add in better coaching and more games. It's a good thing.

Kezzie Apps copped a high swinging arm. I just assumed Yeo was in the bunker, thus why it was overlooked.
