    Anyone recommend a good weekly NRL podcast to keep me entertained on the boring trip to work.

    You could try the Six Tackles with Gus podcast. Most recent one here:

    Excellent - thanks

    That was some defence from the Dragons, must be worrying for the Roosters to have all that ball inside opposition 20 and only have 2 points to show for it. Handy lead now for St George with that try on half time.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    That last try from the Dragons is a farce. He lost the ball, how they couldn't see that on 85 replays I don't know.

    must be worrying for the roosters to spend all that money and still be Sh1te

    Yeah, might not bother with the second half of the Warriors Storm game :(

    Agree but the roosters are one of those teams that can splutter their way thru the season then once origin is over and the premiership takes full attention they switch on and put a huge string of wins together and fly into the finals with full momentum. That's why I keep telling my dragons brethren to calm down the excitement.

    Felt sorry for the Warriors. That was the kind of outcome typical of last season. Hopefully just a blip.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Fantastic try by the Broncos, ran it on the last from virtually halfway.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    That was a good game. Wasn't sure which way it would go but Broncos stepped up in the second half.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Pleased to see the Knights pick up the win. Hard fought victory for the Panthers too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria

    First time in decades since the Knights managed a win at Manly.

    Got a 20% off watch nrl code, APRIL20. If its any use to anyone. (anyone who signed up for the anzac day deal probably already knows this)

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Cowboys 15th after 8 games. Never would have thought that possible before the season.

    Exciting way to win for the Sharks. Titans gave it a good go.

    Exciting game between the Eels and Tigers with Parramatta edging it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Eels level on points now with the Cowboys, Bulldogs and Sea Eagles. Mad old season so far.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Broncos and Bulldogs was a good battle. Pity it was decided on a penalty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria

    Think the Bulldogs can feel like that's one that got away, should have won, Broncos were bang average.

    Doggies robbed but still need to be better ,that's all I will say on that .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Getting ugly for the Panthers against the Cowboys. Defence is non existent, 20 nil to Nth Qld after 35 minutes.

    On Bein Sports FR 3.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Game on this half, lead down to four.

    Edit: haha, kiss of death Cowboys score lead back to eight.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Looked like the Panthers were going to get thashed but they made a game of it in the second half.

    Big win for the Bunnies. I can't help but wonder though if Sio doesn't drop the ball do the Knights go on to win it. That seemed to knock the stuffing out of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Warriors back to winning ways, comfortable against the Tigers.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    No sign of the Dragons slowing down, comprehensively out played the Storm.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,980 ✭✭✭Pauliedragon


    I wonder how long the dragons can keep this up. This is unknown teritory for this team. Been very lucky with injuries too which must help.

    Great to watch anyway, they play brilliant attacking rugby.

    Victor Radley for the Roosters was great. Loved this tackle:

    Indigenous round shirts are pretty out there. Bit too similar to each other this game. (Tigers/Cowboys)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Cowboys lose again.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Good win for the Tigers. Cowboys with a lot of errors.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,980 ✭✭✭Pauliedragon


    Poor showing from the cowboys again. Thurstons swansong season could be a big letdown if they don't improve quick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Bulldogs win! Surging even further away from the Eels.

    Did you watch it - I was at work - were they at least completing sets? Did anyone play well? Any idea what cost us the game yesterday? Thanks

    I saw bits of it, the kicking game from kick offs was very good, put Tigers in trouble numerous times but the Cowboys completion rate was garbage, not sure of the stats but if they completed 70% I'd be surprised. Tigers didn't look that good themselves but maybe they didn't need to.

    Thanks - that seems to be a major issue this year - even when the team was threadbare due to injuries last year our completion rate was much better than it is now - frustrating to watch this season.

    Badly needed win for the Bulldogs. Eels players in tears after the game apparently. Nothing going for them this season.

    Nice win for the Panthers too although the Knights helped them out by gifting them tries.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Disappointingly another Warriors no show at one of these event games.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Storm are dirty, some horrible tackles that game, and I truly despise Smith.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,061 ✭✭✭✭Tom Mann Centuria


    Manly playing very well against the Broncos.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Some physicality in that Roosters/Warriors game. Napa with some big hits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,980 ✭✭✭Pauliedragon


    Souths were on fire. I hope Hunt is ok, he looks injured.

    To continue to my moan from last year, a decent sized crowd swamped in that huge stadium. Atmosphere not a patch on the smaller venues.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Great hit from Wighton on Segeyaro in the Raiders/Shark game, not that it had a bearing on the result in the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,980 ✭✭✭Pauliedragon


    Cam Smith retires from origin effective immediately


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,458 ✭✭✭Danick


    Cam Smith retires from origin effective immediately

    This is both shocking and terrible news for Queensland - hard to believe.

    will be an interesting series . c'mon the blues
