Non-Manly Games [Round 1, 2017]

[Mark from Brisbane]

Donkeys have turned into Winx, now 8 points in front.

Love them to lose but also would like to see the Premiers go down as well.

Decisions decisions !

 

[Fluffy]

I watched the first half and both teams were rusty as. Both us and the roosters looked a similar standard .

Both bongos and sharks are on the way down I think and in the 4-12 battle.

 

[ALinda]

Hilarious... Rabbs & Gus just going on about the wealth of talented fullbacks in the NRL

And what about them singing the praises of Checchin as the best referee last year....😱

 

[wombatgc]

If I was the Sharks CEO, I'd be around at Ennis'house begging him to come back. They're f@cked without him.

Why do you think they have been chasing so hard after Segeyaro?

They'd have been better off doing a deal with us and getting Matty Parcell in exchange for someone of at least equal quality.

Ref was really good tonight, hopefully he stays that way and other refs follow suit

 

[rifraff]

Did they have the virtual 10 meter line on fox and how was it if so?

 

[HappilyManly]

I saw the Broncs offside from most kicks in play, so the Refs could use the technology themselves

 

[nightster]

Beale is woeful

 

[pjayz]

Nope, not sure why.

 

[Harmless27]

I ONLY have f

Has anyone tried Foxtel Play?
Is it reliable ?

I don't want to have another set top box solution from Foxtel.

NRL Live pass any good?

I ONLY have foxtel play, and it is awesome. Exactly what I need....
Plus I can cancel it immediately as it isn't a locked in contract

 

[damiennp90]

Is Darius a great fullback.

Am watching all of Bret Morris's try's on fox league. And the common theme. Darius.

He's left and Duges just isn't a ball playing fullback. I know he's left but think it still stand why their attack is so poor.

Tommy had 15 try assist last year.

I know Darius playes for qld and Australia but I've always seen him as a plodder. Obviously he gives more than I think.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Nope, not sure why.

Because it was a Nein broadcast , sure we will see it tonight!

 

[SeaEagle21]

I can't wait for all the news paper articles about how low the crowd is at Belmore, deadset lucky to be 4000

I have a feeling this will be the norm for 6pm Friday games!

I believe so too mate, but if this was at Brookie, sorry Lottoland (need to get used to that lol), the media would make a point

 

[Pablo]

Yep. Exactly what you get with a dumb time slot like this. Get use to it.
I hate the dogs but love the back to Belmore concept.

If intelligent people ran the game this game would have been given a decent time slot and there would be a screaming crowd of 20k and an old school carnival style suburban ground atmosphere.
Instead it's a soulless piss poor trial match atmosphere. Big opportunity missed by the idiots in charge.

Well it is the No Real Leadership isn't it!!

 

[HK_Eagle]

Is there some new directive not to show any replays of foul play? A small group barney with punches thrown and we got one single replay of the end of it...

On another note, it really seems the dogs have been given quite a leg up from the officials since Melbourne's early domination. The penalties have turned this game quite dramatically in terms of momentum and energy.

 

[eagleron]

How long did Rabs wax lyrical about Greg Inglis before the kickoff on Nein?

Rabs is a fossilized dick
