All NRL Games [Round 8, 2025]

Random question - I’m watching Warriors v Knights and Fox have a promo for the Xavier Coates feature. They showed a replay of ‘that try’ again for 1000th time. Is it just me or is not as spectacular as they make out? It’s a damn good finish but I feel like it’s not much better and/or different to wingers reaching for the corner almost every week in the NRL.

I like Coates so I know I’m not blinded by any personal dislike for the player but yeah, I don’t see the big deal but it gets spoken about like Shane Warne’s ‘ball of century’ and I’m wondering if I’m missing something 😂

Maybe, I think it was out of this world, his such an athletic type and it was spectacular, where he actually leapt from, to how far out of the field of play he was, to stretching out holding the ball and grounding it, I can’t say I’ve seen a better one in my 50 plus years of watching.

The theatre of being the last second match winner added to it too I guess. I'd love to be able to do that mind you, it was a ripper.
Warneys ball, geez, how good was that! Poor ol Gatting might as well stayed in the sheds.
 
Yes we used to say thank God for the Tigepies. Now it's the Knights. Only 2 teams worse than us ATM are them and South's. South's can, and will improve going forward. I hope we can too.
Bunnies are having a crack tonight…….0 from 19 at AAMI park……impressive and think I heard pre game Bellamy is on a 12 and 0 run with Bennett……tonight might be there best chance to break the drought…….
 
Lately spends as much time injured and suspended as tom does injured, neither of them offer their teams alot over a whole season
