I discriminate indiscriminately
We’re redefining the whole concept of “premiership winning potential” too…
Pioneers…
Yeah, what a lottery this week's tipping is. (My spot on the tipping ladder is like Manly's spot on the ladder so I don't have a problem.) It'll be tough and I don't envy you, good luck with that!

There is no A.I. Just better computers
Guitar or harmonica?
Terry Zarsoff
First Grader
They’re just preparing him for a big 25 remaining years of his career. He should become the first 50 year old still playing first grade, around 2047.
That will be just in time for the code’s shutdown, over concerns re: the long term effects of head injuries and the consequent multiple damages claims against the NRL.
Have played guitar for about 10 years.
It's all behind a Baby Grand these days and only coming out to play a couple of harmonica solos.
Most of the coaches that are in the finals are talking about players having niggles and so on coming into the main part of the year but yet the NRL in their wisdom have added more games, the pacific games or whatever they are called. That wont help the wear and tear on players bodies
It's a big problem that started a couple of years ago with Bellamy resting players, makes total sense when you are a mile ahead and the final games mean bugger all. But for fans it cruels the final rounds, which means its also terrible for the broadcasters.
How about give a huge cash prize to the minor premier. Not much point in incentivising other spots in the finals, obviously every club would already be desperate to make the Top 4, and 8 for that matter.
Make a bye round before the finals and the broadcasters can make a big deal featuring junior grand finals, reserve grade, maybe the Womens semi finals, viewers would probably tune in (maybe!)

Except now it seems they are planning Vegas trips for the next 5 years and the Clubs are talking about having to go over a couple of weeks prior to the game to get used to the time zone etc. Combine that with the late finishes with rep comps last year and this, they do seem to be pushing things to a breaking point when it comes to player recovery and prep.

I reckon if they did have a full "bye" round before the finals start they'd just rest their players for two weeks instead of one.

The Melbourne V Brisbane match should have been a blockbuster. Now it holds no interest. The form and the outcome are irrelevant. It's disappointing.

Basically round 27 is full of reserve grade matches.
