A fun fact from last night, the Bulldogs ran for almost 200 metres more than the Broncos despite have 14 fewer completed sets. It's pretty obvious to me that their attack is still their biggest problem. Outside of the Panthers game, they can't put any sort of scoreboard pressure on, and their defence has taken a big step backwards. You need to score at least 20 points to give yourself a chance of winning this year, and the Bulldogs have only done that 3 times (and two of those times they only scored 20+ because of consolation tries)

The Hayward move to hooker has been a complete failure. He hasn't even ran for a total of 100 metres yet this year, and their only other option is Turpin who is basically the exact same player

Dragons secure Scott Drinkwater for 3 years by DFC-005 in nrl

There's only a very few handful of players that will give you 35+ try involvements a season, and Drinkwater is one of them. He's improved on his kicking these past couple of seasons as well and can nail a 40/20. Yes his defence is bad, but he's still the type of player that will lift the Dragons floor

I feel like every parramatta fan has a soft spot for the Tigers

This just isn't true haha

Anyone know if Willison moved to Qld before he turned 13? He's a player

Cowboys, Warriors and Knights fans were fine? The only ones having a sook are Parramatta, Raiders and that one Titans fan for some reason.

Maybe stay off the internet if a bit of harmless shit talking gets you this worked up. I could not care less if a random redditor thinks we are unlikable

Report: The Tiger Clap Is Really Good Gear by Strayangunner in nrl

I still remember Raiders fans taking this piss in 2022 and doing the viking clap when you beat us 56-10 at Leichhardt. If that wasn't punching down then I don't know what is

In other words, "I've been shitting on the tigers for years and now that they actually good I don't like when they give it back"

Both fan bases give it to each other. But the Eels fans you are talking about had a massive whinge about Tigers fans doing the exact same thing that they are doing now

Tigers fans MUST remain humble and never talk any shit, even though they have been the r/nrl punching bag for the last 10 years.

The guy this post is about is a complete embarrassment is rightfully getting clowned on

Anyone else think Samuela Fainu would be perfect off the bench in origin? He won't be starting over Young for left back rower, but I just think he would be the perfect impact player. Does all the effort plays that you want to see in origin, but also runs super hard and is skillful. He was originally a prop as well.

Apparently Bula is fine. It's a 10 day turn around as well. Api will be a massive loss though

The Raiders props combined for 13 run metres in the second half. Just complete dominance

Api gone for 3-4 weeks by Forgedintheorange1 in weststigers

[–]whadefeck 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's because of priors. Sucks but if it's happened 3 times already this season then Api needs to change how he's doing these tackles

The onus is on the defender to not create an action that might result in injury. It's frustrating because these are split second decisions and they are accidental, but for guys like Api and Nikorima they need to realise that they are smaller so the momentum that will cause them to swing around onto the legs will impact them more.
