All NRL Games [Round 1, 2025]

[Highflier]

Right. I know the commentators are trying to be positive about the tigers but I’m not really seeing much

Tigpies short kicking not the best

Neither team have a short kicking game to write home about tonight.

 

[HoldenV8]

Shouldn't Jack Bird be collecting his old age pension by now?

 

[Saabnaldo]

I reckon tigers will finish around 11-14th this year. Definitely improving but not top 8 quality

 

[Scorpio]

Might be stating the obvious, but Broncos will come close this year imo.

I would be amazed if there is a better try this year than Ben Hunt's last night.

But... the premiership isn't won in March either.

 

[Mal Cochrane]

I swear he said F%$cking it up again...

Arthritis aside, he's a year younger than Jake T and 6 years younger than DCE

He seems to have been around forever.

 

[HoldenV8]

Knights channelling their best Manly to stuff up taking that short kick......

 

[Saabnaldo]

Ponga is such a superstar. Absolutely carries this Newcastle team

 

[HoldenV8]

Do NRL referees actually know what a voluntary tackle is???

 

[Rafferty]

Luai played like a bludger.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Bugger , I picked the Tigers.

Thought they’d really lift for game 1.

Didn’t watch it , watching the disaster unfold instead.

 

[Saabnaldo]

Jamie Humphreys looks like a proper player

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Jamie Humphreys looks like a proper player

He always has.

Read some nice comments about him from DCE and Seibold during the week, saying we wanted to keep him but couldn't and that he'd do a great job for the Bunnies. So far they have been right.

The Tigers were throwing the ball sideways a lot, but they forgot that you need go forward too.

Tigers had 82% completion rate compared to the Knights who were fairly poor at 64%. Both teams had 175 runs, but Newcastle ran for 127 more metres.

But here is the most telling stat......Wests Tigers missed 50 tackles.

He should have been given a crack to own our hooking role.

 

[HoldenV8]

That was a rather piss poor set on the Bunnies line there by the Dolphins.

Agree 💯,I may have said before that JH reminds me of Foran ie tough and just a good footballer with a great all round skill set
Also as Brandy said he is big enough to play lock , which I think he would excel at

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

And of course I changed my pick from the Dolphins to Souths because 3 players pulled out
