NRL and all things Rugby League down under

Warriors crap again, some weird decisions by the bunker but didn't affect the result I don't think. Could this finally be the year they win the treasured spoon.

Tigers looked poor, not sure how many games they'll give Maguire but it's a thankless task at Wests.

I like Newcastle, always good to see them going well after years and years of crap, hopefully they turn Penrith over. Unlikable bunch, I'd almost want Storm to beat them.......almost.

They were pretty comfortable for most of the game. Bunnies not really firing yet.

Sharks dominated the Knights in the first game too. They're looking quite good this year.

I might get up at ridiculous o'clock tomorrow to watch the Warriors Broncos game. Maybe I like the misery....

Edit: I didn't get up at 5am, I was a lightweight and recorded it and got up at half six :pac: Good win all the same, with some amazing inability to hold on to the ball from both sides. Think we actually got a bit lucky with one or two calls today too, which goes against the usual narrative.

Think this one's done already. The supposed high tackle that led to one of the Roosters trys was a joke though, how the fūck is a defender supposed to not tackle high when the man is about 10cm from the ground.

Woo woo. Cracking game (partly due to very ordinary play from both teams) with loads of tries, and a golden point win for the mighty Warriors.

Tigers finish the Easter weekend round of with their first win of the season. Parra their own worst enemies, trying to score off every possession. Maybe didn't give Wests enough respect.

Understrength Warriors put up a decent showing v Roosters and as per, against Sydney, didn't get many/any favours from the officials. Anzac Day v the Storm next up, so that was just a taste of what's to come, even though Storm won't need any help.

Good win for the Broncos this morning, Sharks the better team first half without finishing Brisbane off, and then completely outplayed 2nd half.

Great start to Origin. Delighted the Maroons got the first win.

Yeah saw that, wonder will be be cleared for the play offs, or even the World Cup. He was definitely having some kind of seizure. Can't see him being back next week anyway.

Lots of mistakes 2nd half, Roosters did well to hang on in the end. Still fancy Storm to beat the Eels and get top four.

Spectacular just how far the wheels fell off for the Broncos in the second half of the season.

Horrible feeling the Panthers will hammer the Eels. Hope I'm wrong though, it'd be nice to see Parramatta break their long stretch without a Premiership.

Panthers very good and the Eels choked, but they've been doing that all season, so no great surprise. Didn't make for much of a contest for the neutral though.

Amazing win for the Dolphins over the Roosters this morning, brilliant way to start their NRL journey.

Yeah it's been an enjoyable start, Dogs beating the Storm was a bit of a surprise, Roosters beat the Warriors (who only had 1 left on the interchange for half the game) but very unconvincingly, Broncos and Cowboys were in a great tussle this round too. Hopefully it'll be wide open this year.

Season has started well, 'phins a worthy edition to the League. Blow outs haven't started yet, so lots of close games which is always good.

Warriors going well this year too. Deserved the win, although the game winning try should have been pulled back for obstruction. (I'll take it though!)

Right gambling fans. Paddy Power have The Dolphins at Evens with +12 against the Bunnies next week. Am I missing something or is that a good a bet as I think it is? Well I've already stuck a few quid on it anyway but seems very generous, especially when they're only giving the Tigers 10/11 with 12+ against the Eels.
