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:

Thanks a million guys - I'll check these out.

So the Roosters v Dragons and Storm v Warriors should be free to watch.

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.

Tom Mann Centuria · 25-04-2018 10:05am

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

Tom Mann Centuria · 25-04-2018 11:01am

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.

Mr.Nice Guy · 25-04-2018 8:35pm

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

Tom Mann Centuria · 26-04-2018 11:24am

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

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-04-2018 6:41pm

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

Mr.Nice Guy · 27-04-2018 7:21pm

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

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)

Mr.Nice Guy · 28-04-2018 7:27pm

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.

Pauliedragon · 29-04-2018 10:17am

Hall of fame ballot was announced.

Mr.Nice Guy · 29-04-2018 2:37pm

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

Tom Mann Centuria · 29-04-2018 3:28pm

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

Mr.Nice Guy · 03-05-2018 9:00pm

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

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

kirk buttercup · 04-05-2018 9:41am

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

Tom Mann Centuria · 04-05-2018 11:43am

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.

Tom Mann Centuria · 04-05-2018 12:21pm

Game on this half, lead down to four.

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

Mr.Nice Guy · 04-05-2018 3:36pm

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.

Tom Mann Centuria · 05-05-2018 10:19am

Warriors back to winning ways, comfortable against the Tigers.

Tom Mann Centuria · 06-05-2018 7:06am

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

Pauliedragon · 06-05-2018 2:53pm

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.

Mr.Nice Guy · 06-05-2018 7:40pm

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

not to me it doesn't! only ray of sunshine is we are above the eels

Tom Mann Centuria · 10-05-2018 11:39am

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

Tom Mann Centuria · 10-05-2018 2:56pm

Cowboys lose again.

Mr.Nice Guy · 10-05-2018 6:28pm

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

Pauliedragon · 10-05-2018 8:05pm

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

Tom Mann Centuria · 11-05-2018 9:39pm

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.

Mr.Nice Guy · 12-05-2018 12:38am

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.

Tom Mann Centuria · 12-05-2018 7:44am

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

Tom Mann Centuria · 12-05-2018 9:47am

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

Tom Mann Centuria · 12-05-2018 12:14pm

Manly playing very well against the Broncos.

Mr.Nice Guy · 12-05-2018 5:59pm

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

Pauliedragon · 13-05-2018 12:23pm

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

Tom Mann Centuria · 13-05-2018 12:53pm

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.

Mr.Nice Guy · 13-05-2018 7:42pm

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

Pauliedragon · 15-05-2018 9:41am

Cam Smith retires from origin effective immediately

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