It's a funny game, a good win doesn't guarantee a win for the next game tho.Raiders will flog Manly next week based on this weekends form.
That alone should ensure a Manly win.
Manly will flog the Warriors this week…wait…Raiders will flog Manly next week based on this weekends form.
That alone should ensure a Manly win.
Try Sunday night 615 game not in arvojust the way the nrl is I wouldn’t be surprised if we smash Canberra at Brooky next Sunday. They were right up for this one tonight in front of a sellout. Trip to Brooky Sunday arvo will be tough even with a couple out. Need our pack to really stand up next Sunday and we can get it done.
The NRL have turned Rugba Leeg into such a momentum based game… it only takes a couple of 6-agains and teams become so gassed that they can no longer halt the momentum of the attacking team… mistakes get compounded and it really does become a case of running downhill… the only chance the team under pressure has is if the opponent makes errors or they can get a penalty to cause a stoppage…Interesting round.
Standout teams from Round 1 were Panthers, Broncos, Manly and Storm.
Storm have the bye but the other three all got beaten in big upsets!
Might be quite a dramatic season.
It’s funny how things workout.The 6 again were brought in to stop teams from giving away penalties,halting momentum and to try and bring the fatigue factor back.Its worked,but not in the way the NRL were hoping it would.I get PTSD every time I hear the 6 again bell ringThe NRL have turned Rugba Leeg into such a momentum based game… it only takes a couple of 6-agains and teams become so gassed that they can no longer halt the momentum of the attacking team… mistakes get compounded and it really does become a case of running downhill… the only chance the team under pressure has is if the opponent makes errors or they can get a penalty to cause a stoppage…
It gets a bit frustrating as a fan because referee interpretations (which are not always wrong but are VERY subjective and often miss heaps of things whilst becoming focussed on others) have such a massive impact on game outcomes…
It happened with Manly and it happened with Broncs… whilst both teams compounded it with poor ball handling, my concern with Manly is that our mistakes were early in the game when we were not under any pressure - you simply cannot have such little respect for possession in the modern NRL…
It is the single worst rule change in the history of the game… retaining penalties and having 5min sinbins for negative play (intentional penalties) would have been better - I want to see a contest of skill not just a contest of stamina… especially when the scales are being tipped by a bloke that can’t even play footy…It’s funny how things workout.The 6 again were brought in to stop teams from giving away penalties,halting momentum and to try and bring the fatigue factor back.Its worked,but not in the way the NRL were hoping it would.I get PTSD every time I hear the 6 again bell ring

There was definitely an element of this in those first 20min on Friday… just die with the ball if the next pass is not on ffs… lots of our lost balls were not on the last tackle and the players have to be smarter in that instance - retaining possession and building pressure is essentiallooks to me like we chase a dopamine hit rather than a win
it was eveident against the cows too, we just held the ball better and thus gained momentum by getting the ball kicked off too us and subsequent penaltiesThere was definitely an element of this in those first 20min on Friday… just die with the ball if the next pass is not on ffs… lots of our lost balls were not on the last tackle and the players have to be smarter in that instance - retaining possession and building pressure is essential
