2024 FINALS [All Games: Week 2]

Can anyone give me any more insight into nanai being on the bench for that long? I know Payten said he wanted a more aggressive performance from nanai before the game and was unhappy with his performance last week. He is normally a 80 minute or around there player. Was it planned or did Payten axe him or because of the speed of the game? Just curious
*I’ve attached two photos of his minutes played in each round this year

^ dunno sorry.

On the question of questions....

I thought Manly's game got moved last week because of a clash with the afl but wasn't last night game played next to the swans v gibberers match?

Well, as long as the rorters got an extra 2 days rest.
 
Happy for Fitzy, good man that does not deserve the lack of success in finals...

That scrappy attack is not gonna cut it though and, unless Nicho steps up and has a blinder (I know, I giggled to myself whilst typing that), the Panthers will put a hurt on them next week...
 
Letting Holmes go is ridiculous.
Yeah, I dont get it... HAS to be a salary cap thing but I reckon they have got their priorities wrong as Val is the centrepiece of a lot of their backline incisions... and then add in his 85-90% goal-kicking and ability to nail a 2pt FG... weird call imo

Val was playing sh*t earlier in the season when the decisions were made.

Agree, then Thurston goes on to say thar the Cowboys are in a good place with the spine all sorted. Really, just adequate tbh, and now without your best back and goal kicker and minus Feldt as well.

I think they are hoping rather than convinced that Clifford is the right 7... elite 9 and 6 but I remain totally unconvinced on their 1...

I agree that the value of Val and Feldt to their backline movements is being seriously under-valued... Val creates space, has an outstanding offload and Feldt's ability to finish a try (or pluck one out of the air) is up there with the best in the game...

Edit: FYI Feldt scored more tries, made more tackle breaks and ran for more metres than Taulagi this year... he played more games but we are not talking "by a little bit" on any of those stats...

I see them going backwards rather than forwards next season...

An easy way for the NRL to shorten the season by two weeks: get rid of the predictable preliminary finals matches between teams 5 to 8.
We all know the teams that finish in the top four are the real contenders for the premiership. The other four teams in the finals are just there to add to revenues and make it appear that those teams had a 'successful' season.

As Biden would say..come on man..the NRL will be making a huge windfall next weekend. Plenty of $$'s..to be made.
 
Did anyone else notice JWH had his elbow cocked when Kola tackled him, but unless the commentators mention it or make a big deal of it, it goes unnoticed. The bloke cant help himself. Once a grub always a grub
