Round 4 other games -2021

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Is this the biggest supercoach score ever? And to think i was going to pick him as captain

 

[Chip and Chase]

Cody Walker has the SC record for high score. He got 203 against Roosters last year. Think he scored 4 tries in that game as well.

Sonic might update above that though. Have to wait till Monday to find out

I did have him as captain

 

[QueefRichards]

If Cody Walker doesn't get a suspension I hope someone has the decency to knock him out

Yet another blowout.

So we have in the first three games:
6-46
0-38
6-40

It's heartening to know there are other clubs in the same pot as Manly. I'd add Nth Qld to the list. Means we are a hope of avoiding the spoon.

But how is this the future of rugby league?. How are these blowouts entertaining as contests?. I remember even 5 or 6 years ago the competition was so close, and bottom teams would be very competitive against the top teams. Now that.s all over. After round 4 the teams are already split into three distinct divisions

Top:

Penrith
Melbourne
Souths
Parra
Canberra
Roosters

Middle

Knights
Coast
Warriors
Tigers
Saints
Cronulla

Bottom

Manly
Nth Qld
Bulldogs
Brisbane

You can pretty much call it after less than half of round 4 that these will be the divisions after 25 rounds. How is this a competitive competition, and will most fans even bother watching or caring, particularly for the bottom teams?.

Whats really sad is, the game will become loaded with tall speedsters and the grit will disappear from the game. Worse still, teams are going to start to quit on effort once a result is in the bank to avoid injuries, so a lions share of games won't be worth watching after the 60 minute mark for that reason as well.

Rugby league is in a disappointing place.

Was thinking the same thing myself when I saw the results, NYEagle. The scores won't shock anyone, but is this really what the NRL wanted when they started stuffing around with rule changes? How do routine floggings make for a compelling "product"?

Meanwhile Saab scored a big fat ZERO. What an absolute dud player. How much did we get scammed ?? But yes Des let's keep picking him.

 

[Franko]

Souths spine is exceptional, and if you want to know why we are so crap look no further -forget blaming wingers and back rowers.

1 Mitchell
6 Walker
7 Reynolds
9 Cook

Could be a NSW spine

Well put , the haves , the have nots and the wannabes.

Rugba Leeg circa 2020

And I think here to stay

Yep south’s fans would be thrilled with their spine, as opposed to,

1 walker
6 foren
7 DCE
9 Croker

I’m a Manly fan and devastated with ours, but what about,

1 Turbo
6 Shoe
7 Cust
9 DCE
(14 Foz)

Would this be a better way to take on the warriors?
Please don’t dish us up the same spine again and expect things will miraculously improve, time has surely come to experiment with a different combination! Surely it couldn’t do any worse and seriously do we have anything to lose.

 

[mickqld]

So Woods and Uele can go 40 min for Sharks 1st half and possibly the full 80. So why can't the over hyped over paid Taupau or the young Paseka.

 

[cc eagle]

Tracey and Williams off contract, both speedy and class

No chance then. Too fast for Manly backline.

 

[mave]

Could the Sharkies put on another 35 points or so and drag us off the bottom??

 

[Dion Johnson]

The Cows defence is on par with ours..

 

[cc eagle]

28 will do

 

[mave]

28 will do

Cows scored 6 though.

I could be wrong. It is a Sat arvo, after all, and I'm not at my usual best.

 

[Moops]

The first four games/scores, so far, are not a great advertisement for the game. Um, Pete V?
