    That's just so fucking Warriors isn't it? If we were honest we were lucky to win last week as well. I thought we could win out, now i am back in usual Wahs supporter mode of expecting us to drop down to 5th or 6th as Penrith just roll up the ladder.

    Messed up round really. Broncos dropping to the Eels at home stuffed their top 4 hopes, and they continue to live and die on Reece Walsh either laying on a try for them or their opposition.
    The Panthers smack the Tigers who still suck.
    The Sharks are just a nothing side going nowhere. They beat the Rabbits reserve grade side by the barest of margins.
    Dogs and the Raiders are locked in at the top of the table, and will make the prelim, and you think one of them makes the GF.

      I see Origin eligibility is back on the table after three big name Australian players are set to choose to play for Pacific Island sides over the kangaroos. This is ramming home the stupidity of the rule that you can play Origin and a "tier 2" nation. Which was sort of fine in the old days, but now that every 2nd player in the NRL is a Pacific Islander, and thus their teams are now really fucking good, the rule is basically fucking NZ and to a lessor extent England.

      So they either have to go "to play Origin you have to play for Australia" which instantly puts the International game back to the 90s (and we'll end up with a kiwi team full of "kiwis"), or you say "if you qualify for Origin (moved to state before 12, meet all other criteria) then you can play for which ever test team you want".

      I know which way they will go because there is absolutely no way they are risking the prestige of Origin by playing it without Tino and Hammer and Haas and To'o and Chricton.

      Watched Scott Sattler’s show on Saturday morning, and he had a segment on SOR eligibility
      Making a few adjustments is a bit of a no brainer I think, should have already been done
      Be a double whammy – it’d make both SOR and international league stronger

      ALL NSW and Qld juniors qualifying for SOR, no matter who they play for internationally
      i.e. Victor Radley (NSW junior) for NSW and England yes; Sam Burgess (England junior) nah
      The other example he brought up was reece walsh (qld junior) playing for NZ (by descent)
      A player like Frank Pritchard (NSW junior) would have been SOR eligible; I think the only time Frank was ever in NZ was when the Kiwis had a game there

      Sattler then had a sook; whining that all the other international teams will be stronger, making at harder for Aus to win; “I just want Aus to win”; F’n pussy!

        Sharks with their roster should be doing way better. Just when you think maybe Hynes was judged harshly he brings a timely reminder of his frailties.
        Galvin looking more comfortable at the Dogs and the Dogs looking dangerous. Although I still dont think they win.
        Raiders looking extremely smooth and seem to know when to put the foot down.
        Wahs should make top 4 but probably wont because the coach believes in his players even when some are consistently underperforming.
        and Mitchel Moses is jus incredibly good

          What garbage.

          Can’t lose games like that against bottom sides and expect to win comps.

          DWZ has been a great player, but I think he’s done. He is an absolute liability on defence.

          This. I'd be coaching to attack his edge with block shapes all afternoon. He's a dreadful defender who is effectively not on the field in defence because his decision making is pants.

            I thought the Wahs would get up tonight. They have an ability to drag teams into dogfights, especially on their slow spongy track at home,and they executed it well, and Put Lussick on Katoa to make his life hard, which worked well. DWZ had a great game.

            Big win for the Phins though in conditions which are tricky for them. Goes a long way to cementing an 8 spot.

              And also, another NRL 360 knob James Hooper has been sacked for drink driving (obviously a repeat offender and not the first time he's done it).

              What a pack of hypocrites these clowns are.

                  Looool

                  Fuuuuuck Hooper, in an industry full of flogs this guy stands out.

                  Apparently smacked in to some parked cars, blew .253, and didn't provide details. Fuck this guy.

                  NRL360 continues to be a haven of the worst fucking people.

                    DWZ was only better once Herbie retired for the year.. he did play better than his previous games but if you cant do that consistently retire. Webby just needs to grow a pair and give Sio Kali a run before he gets stolen

                    We did great to hang in that game though, great dog fight from many

                          Titans get within a whisker and a dodgy trainer from beating Penrith, great game, shame about the result.

                            Dragons get up over Canberra too. It's a tough comp, the Dragons are nowhere near the top, but are always a team where you have to work hard to beat.

                              Now THAT is a weird weekend.

                              The Storm struggle but eventually get over the Eels, who are building something.
                              The Warriors get karma for the Newcastle result and the Phins stay alive.
                              The Broncos do what they should to a reserve grade side, but still no one thinks they're back
                              The Titans are robbed of a win over the Panthers. Yes the trainer shit needs are very harsh punishment, but To'o knocked a guy out that prevented a try, that should have been a penalty try.
                              The Dragons beat the Raiders
                              The Roosters go to Manly and beat them comfortably
                              The Tigers smash the Bulldogs
                              The Sharks beat the awful Cowboys.

                                And now it's all on for the minor premiership
                                The Panthers will get top 4 as we are in freefall and have the Dogs next, and we may even drop further away.
                                The Phins are hanging on to the 8 but losing Farnsworth surely kills them off.

                                And the race to the Spoon now has the Bunnies in front, with the Titans showing signs of life. The Tigers won't get the spoon!!

                                  The stupidest story of the weekend is Dogs fans demanding apologies for an apparent obscene gesture aimed at them by Tigers players.
                                  That's right, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs fans. The absolute worst fans in the comp. Violent, abusive mob mentality fuckwits. The only club i know who opposition fans actively avoid going to because there is always problems.
                                  What a bunch of absolute fuckwits. Have a sook fluffybunnies.

                                      The Phins are hanging on to the 8 but losing Farnsworth surely kills them off.

                                      Think 4/6 wks outside chance back for finals if they can hang on. Could be a Smokey if they do, as for Phin diesel one of the few players I wish injury upon, should have retired or been forceably retired for being a thug.

                                        The stupidest story of the weekend is Dogs fans demanding apologies for an apparent obscene gesture aimed at them by Tigers players.
                                        That's right, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs fans. The absolute worst fans in the comp. Violent, abusive mob mentality fuckwits. The only club i know who opposition fans actively avoid going to because there is always problems.
                                        What a bunch of absolute fuckwits. Have a sook fluffybunnies.

                                        Don’t think it’s even a story, just the perfect noise piece for these journos who love to wind up tigers and dogs fan weekly on nrl360, both clubs get so much airtime and none of them ask for it

                                        In the meantime sticky finally doing something right with his team and still not getting sweet F A.
