All NRL Games [Round 17, 2025]

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

What fantastic last-line defensive hits from Connor Tracey stirring stuff.

 

[wombatgc]

It deffinetly can, im not overly confident even though we are favourites big match for both teams, i am sorry to say i didn't tip the Eagles this week but I hope im wrong !

40 minutes to go. This has been top shelf footy so far.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

A moment of Cleary brilliance puts Panthers right back in this game

 

[Saabnaldo]

This Galvin bloke the best young player Gus has ever seen right? I don’t see it at all

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Grand-final worthy game

 

[danny-boy]

wow what a game. absolute thriller.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

Cracking game I thoroughly enjoyed that. But cannot see Manly near that class this year or next year....

 

[XV-1]

Watching the Dogs play Penrith tonight shows how far Manly is off the pace.

Seibold cannot coach and certainly clueless about understanding Defence is a prerequisite of winning a competition.

 

[wombatgc]

How good was that. Easily the best game of the year so far.

Win or lose you still have to enjoy the game for what it is, great quality match

I don't think we have a single player that would make either team if picked on form.

Haumole would be he is out.

Lehi is the only other one.

 

[Wombat Junior]

If I'm going to lose a tip, I'm happy to lose it to a quality grand final like game like that, still don't think taking Mahoney off is the best move, I know they don't have a lot of options but I think losing the option of a sexton kick made it easier for penrith to put pressure on Burton.

I also think they needed to find a way to kick for the 2 points but they were super close to winning the game with the big play at the end.

Super great game overall though!

Imagine Lodge or Waddell playing in a game with that intensity

 

[Rackets]

Agree. Taking their full time hooker out and putting their best attacking half into dummy half just to bring Galvin on has stifled their attack. Hopefully they keep this up. I'd love to see them fall out of the top 4.

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Unless I'm mistaken (which is very possible) has the bunker gotten well & truly out of control?

In the 1st half, a linesman call of a player foot in touch was ridiculously late. Yes, his little toe just touched the sideline but if it was a bunker call, then the bunker is becoming omnipresent & omnipotent.

But more bizarre was the bunker call sending a doggie player to the head bin and overruling the medicos as to grading. Are there doctors in the bunker now? Can they override a physical HIA?
While the player had to miss the game because he was debunked, he can play next week because he passed his HIA.

Truly bizarre!

We need Daddy Donald's Stealth Bomber to bust this Bunker!

Can't see what the fuss is about Galvin. I'm not saying he lost them the game but they did seem to lose some flair when he came on.
