SOO, Jake, DCE, general discussion

[Supreme Leader]

39 tackles
14 hit ups for 78 metres

surprised? I thought it would have been double the tackles. He looked like he was doing and involved in 2 - 3 tackles a set

It was actually 43 tackles without a single miss.

Di

Don't think there was to many punches thrown after the headlock , iwas happy with both Gagai and Burton going to the bin Burton knocked Ponga down then chased after Gagai so he wasn't totally innocent

Watch the replay. Gagai runs at least 10 metres to go after Burton. It was a massive overreaction by Gagai. Ponga thought it was accidental, that’s why he didn’t go after Burton. If you watch it in slo-mo there was five punches thrown by Gagai while Burton was in a choke hold by that cat Tina. Look at the pic below. This was the fifth one that Gagai is about to throw.
It was a dog act. Tina had already tried to take Burtons head off. That was what the bruised cheek was from, not as that moron Mat Thompson was saying from a Gagai punch.

Albanese wants to take SOO to the Pacific nations. Thoughts. Or should I get @Woodsie to do a poll?


Bringing NRL to Pacific Islands a 'very welcome initiative' - Sky News Australia

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has revealed he's in talks with the NRL about bringing State of Origin to the Pacific Islands.


The PM is in Fiji for the Pacific Island Forum, where he hosted a dinner for leaders on Wednesday night - which included a viewing of the third State of Origin match.

At a press conference from Suva on Thursday, Mr Albanese said taking the competition on the road to our Pacific neighbours would be "a very welcome initiative".

Try running the country first. The NRL is too complex for a politician

On the contrary...it is very much part of running the country. Australia is in a geopolitical battle with China for influence in the Pacific Islands, and rugby league is one card that China cannot play.

Whether it is good for the NRL of course is a separate issue. But it's worth having the discussion.

What a visionary, Albo is.
He’ll win Pacific nations over with Rugba League.

I was wondering if anyone has Jakes Stats for last night....hit ups, tackles?

NRL.com has

64 minutes
15 runs (14 hitups)
97 run metres
29 post-contact metres
43 tackles
0 missed tackles, 1 ineffective
1 line break
1 penalty conceded

 

[madmax]

True.
Maybe Fittler should step down after last night’s bad trip?
It seems being a barefoot investor & dancing in the moonlight are at odds with a brutal Origin game.
Are you hip to my jive? Can you dig what I’m laying down?

Fittler should just fu<k off full stop! The way he walks around & struts with his hand in his pockets he must think he's class personified lololol, like he's some kind of royalty. Fu<ken twat! Johns is even worse.....illiterate twat & an embarrassment to the Immortal status he's been given. The clever selectors lolol......useless pri<ks.

"Some team is going to come out and want it a bit more than the other. It needs to be us," Fittler said.

"It will be. I've seen the way they have trained - I just can't see any other result."

Er, yeah Freddy, what could possibly go wrong in saying that, lol.

'It needs to be us': Why Fittler believes Blues are poised for historic win

Sharks wrecking ball Siosifa Talakai is set to take on the role of game breaker for NSW in Wednesday night’s State of Origin decider as the Blues aim to create history.

Well Freddy, do you see it now?

Well Freddy, do you see it now?

He can’t un-see it.

“The horror….the horror.

Here's a few of Turbo's Origin meat pies to keep you satisfied. No better sight in modern Origin than to see the great Turbo streaking away!

No better sight to see Terrific Turbo in his legendary Maroon Manly Jersey

There is not a big enough stadium tbh. Png stadium holds 18k,Samoa 12k and Fiji about the same.

 

[manly al]

Maybe more internationals and very occasional club games but almost certainly a big NO from the networks

Anyone thoughts on Luai he is making himself a very unlikeable player

Chirpy little prick. If not for the no

Doesn't matter ... the money is in the broadcast .. not the gate takings ..
