Roosters beat the Penrith despite some dodgy whistle.

Gutsy come from behind win for Souths. Wayne Bennett weaving his magic with a l side that looks like a spoon contender if he weren't there.

To be fair it was a bludger, St George probably lost that, but you have to give credit to Wayne and biceps Humphries

Enjoyed it myself haha, but agree that the Dragons lost it. They gassed hard in the last 20.

If sharks weren’t failing in a lot of last play options this could be another blowout. Still Cowboys hanging in there somehow

@mariner4life a quadriplegic vs a paraplegic cripple fight
And Turuva makes himself look a complete fluffybunny by carrying on because he scored a try.

For anyone who watched the Chooks how did Marky Mark go? I only watched the highlights and was surprised to see him in the centres,. Looked to be going ok but hard to tell from 10 minutes of highlights.

In ground 40 degrees should not be played

Agreed, it explained why the error rate was extremely high.
The Tigers improved massively after the 30 min mark. Jeral Skelton was quality I thought. Looked like a taller version of Inga Tuigamala out there. Him and Christian Tuipulotu had great games for their sides.

Roosters reject May plays 65 mins straight in the middle in that heat 42 tackles. Beast.
Tuipolotu looking the goods helped by sweeping Gutho and a decent centre in Val, could be a big season for him

Yup, May could be closer to Origin selection this year than people think.
What I like about Tuipulotu is that he's upped his workrate and is starting to accelerate into contact. He's an early pick for me for winger of the year.

Round 2 Wrap Up: Send the memes
We started with the Knights flogging the very average looking Dolphins. Knights look ok despite the soft start to the year, but the Dolphins have serious attack issues and look in the Spoon pool.
Friday night it all got weird.
Firstly we had the hottest team of Rd 1 taking on one of the shittest. And to start it looked ominous, with an early sexy long range Manly try, another pulled back for a forward pass, and space on the edges anyone could run in to, let alone Tommy T and Saab. But then Manly made errors, and dragged the Warriors in to it. And lo what the fuck? The Warriors not only win, but flog them
Then in Sydney we had the 4-time premiers who looked good in Vegas playing the Roosters who looked dogshit a week ago. And in a game with 70 points scored, the score wasn't 60-10, somehow the Roosters kept finding holes in the previously impregnable Panthers defense. Despite the refs trying so very hard to get Nathan Cleary home, the Roosters hang on for a huge win.
Saturday's early game was a bit of a bludger skill-wise, but Wayne's wounded bunnies beat Flannos old man Dragons with a late field goal.
Saturday arvo i sat to watch the Cowboys show a response to their pathetic Round 1 "performance" and instead i watched a coach get fired in real time. They were absolute dogshit, and if they didn't have the most loyal fans in teh comp they would have been booed off the field. Sharkies were pretty sharp though, Nicho Hynes ran around doing pretty much what ever he wanted.
Saturday night the Raiders hosted the Broncos, both teams coming off a big Rd 1 performance. And it was the Raiders who were the better side throughout i thought, just swarming the big name Broncos out of it with boundless enthusiasm. Ricky is coaching a blinder so far with this group, he's letting them play, and they look good doing it. Broncos weren't terrible, they will still be at the pointy end, but this was a good early reality check that they can't walk it home. Also Reece Walsh is the most overrated player in the comp. Gets sucked off like he's an absolute superstar because he's fast and wears makeup. But he's a dogshit footballer with very little brain. He had a genuine stinker on Saturday, and his error count alone would make most teams blush.
Yesterday we had our first spoon bowl, and the first half an our looked like it. Errors, penalties, shit play, the Eels and the Tigers served it up in large bowls. But the Tigers sort of worked out they have a few pretty decent players, and proceeded to tear the Eels to bits. There is a shit load of talent out there, and they are fast. I saw enough yesterday to say the Tigers won't be near the bottom of the ladder this year, and should look at playing finals in 2026.
The last game saw the Titans start their year at probably the most hostile ground in the comp. And the Bulldogs were not welcoming, scoring almost instantly, and putting up 40 in basically 3 quarters of football. The Titans have huge issues, but they do have a lot of attacking talent, and big Tino coming back and running hard will warm a few hearts. It was costly for the Dogs though, as they may have lost Burton and Kikau for a spell.Good luck betting on the NRL this year.
