Live Matches Discussion Round 23

  • Roosters vs Sea Eagles: Battle for about 10th on the ladder lol
  • Panthers vs Storm: 1v4. Could well meet in the finals, and maybe even the big one.
No1 - 2.4yr

And that's full time. Thank God that's over. A pretty terrible game of footy to watch.

🐓 26-16 🦅

Here's hoping Storm v Panthers Friday night will be a good one.

Not a convincing win or a performance worth getting excited over by the sounds of it?

No1 - 2.4yr

No, not really. The game was so stop/start. And Manly didn't really look like they wanted to be there.Then they played hot potato for the last 10 minutes...

A couple of absolutely shocking sin bins and send offs in the warriors vs titans game. The nrl have got to do something about their refs because they’re deadset out of their minds.

Mo’s send off wasn’t even penalty worthy. It was a wrapping tackle on a shorter person. Tackles like that happen a hundred times a game.

The slapping sin bin was somehow even worse: https://twitter.com/foxnrl/status/1687380504209735680?s=46&t=Cbb3biYQblpmbWC3J0KfQg

Imagine telling a football player that that will get you sat down for 10 minutes. Imagine showing someone an official nrl promo video of big hits and then showing them this and saying he got binned.

Absolute disgrace. I’ve gone from watching 7-8 matches a week for years, to now maybe watching 2, 3 at most, 100% because of how garbage the refereeing is making the game.

Both of those were ridiculous.

Was the ref losing control of the game or something? I've seen, and kinda understand, where teams are getting too fired up and a ref will just start overreacting to try and stop it from exploding...

Whirlybird - 2.4yr

Not sure tbh, didn’t watch for more than a minute or 2 here and there after I heard about these send offs.

After seeing them I definitely wasn’t gonna watch any more lol

Toupou leaps, grabs, reaches, and try!

Looks about the only way Roosters can score

🐓 6-2 🦅

No1 - 2.4yr

And right on half time, Toupou is in the corner. Suaalii with another great conversion.

Half time

🐓 18-2 🦅

So many penalties and 6 agains for both teams. Coaches will be going off in the sheds.

No1 - 2.4yr

All the close decisions going the Roosters way...

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Smith - Billy, not Brandon or Sandon- scores in the corner.

Poor defence from Manly again. Should not have scored that

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Roosters have 3 Smiths, 2 Bakers and a Butcher lol

1
No1 - 2.4yr

And the ref finally sends someone to the bin... Sadly it's a Manly player

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Try for the young fella Wong

Nope, bunker rules double movement....

1
No1 - 2.4yr

And now Brown sent off.

Game is getting spicy

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Chip & chase by Schuster for a Manly try.

Is this gonna turn it around? Uhoh, Roosters!

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Suaalii scores from a scrum. Basic stuff, and that should be enough to ice the game

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Manly are so different with Turbo. Without him, they are rubbish.

And a score from a kick for Manly.

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Late consolation try for Manly

1
No1 - 2.4yr

And here we go Panfas vs Melbun! Let's hope we see the footy chucked around and it's not an MMA wrestle-fest

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Both teams start solidly. Panthers get a penalty, Melbourne dropout and Storm get it back!

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Panthers controlling field position now. And get a pen. Easy shot for 2-0

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Panthers player gets falcon'd and it bounces offside . 2-2

He wasn't even watching the ball 🤡😂

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Good play and a Storm try!

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Weight of possession leads to a sweeping backline training catch and pass for a Penriff try. 6-6

Game is so much better than last night, it's not funny

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Uhoh another quick Panthers try. Storm need to knuckle up here.

1
No1 - 2.4yr

I see that the Dragons managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...

Seriously, the ladder is a fucking mess. Sort yourselves out 😡

From a quick glance, if everything went their way next week, Roosters could jump into the top 8? Will have to check that out...

1
No1 - 2.4yr

And Manu runs over the top of a couple of Manly players to score!

Suaalii kicking like Golden Boots!

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Not exactly an open, free flowing game.

Both teams attack looking very ordinary.

1
No1 - 2.4yr

It looks like Penrith have 2 or 3 extra defenders 🤣

1
No1 - 2.4yr

And that'll do it for tonight. Panthers too good, and if they stay injury free, hard to see anyone else stopping them. Melbourne still don't have their top 13 on the field, and didn't play badly, but Penrith defence shut them down.

Panthers 26-6 Storm

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Cronulla looked pretty good last night. Until about the last 15 minutes, when they decided to take the rest of the night off. Funnily enough, the Bunnies took the first 65 minutes off, and only decided to play the last 15 minutes.

Another mad sin bin for no reason because somebody got tackled too hard. Luckily, had no impact on the outcome.

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Manly took an early penalty goal.

Roosters giving away penalties down Manly's end, making it easy tor them to march up the other end. And giving away 6 agains.....

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Stupid Storm penalty leads to another Panthers try just before halftime. 20-6.

Storm are their own worst enemy, and game should be closer.

Not a bad game to watch so far.

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Penrith always have a spare guy on the passes across the backline. Try to To'o.

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Good defence from Penrith on their own line. Hard to see how Storm can score here.
