2020 NRL Round 19: Teams and Game Day

[Botman]

Sualli would be pretty amazing anywhere in the back 5. Best talent I’ve seen for a while.

Inglis and Folou stood out, but not too many like Sualli.

It might be nostalgia but for mine Inglis and Folau were on another plane to even Sualli
Which to be clear, is not a knock on him at all.

Gagai off to the bin after giving the ref a serve!

[zim]

Teddy with some offload magic and Tupou scores in the corner. Classy stuff.

Ref missed JWH obstructing him at marker.

[zim]

I'd wager he didn't get 10 in the bin for saying "sir look at this"

[zim]

Roosters score again with Angus. Had them stripped for numbers. 34-2.

[gangrenous]

Well this is not good for our top 8 chances

[zim]

Teddy line break to Walker to Butcher. Roosters in again. 40-2 with the kick to come.

[zim]

Knights with some nice work down the left. Big Edrick puts Crossland away for a try. Milford converts. 42-8.

[zim]

Teddy gets an early mark. Suaalii goes to fullback.
Butcher with a huge hit on the line. Knights keep it alive on the 5th. Big Edrick too Big for Suaalii to stop on the line. 42-12.

[zim]

Newcastle come alive with Roosters resting 4 on the bench late. Klemmer head butts Butcher. Let the boys eskimo.

[zim]

Better directed pass sees another late try for Big Edrick but we end up Roosters 42-12.

[zim]

Studs:
3 Tedesco
2 Keary
1 Butcher

Duds:
-1 Verrills
-2 Fitzgibbon
-3 Gagai

Just walked past McDonald Jones Stadium and was offered a 3yr deal.

[-PJ-]

AND..

Mitch Barnett should get 6 weeks for that haircut.

Klemmer to..6 weeks.

[gerg]

NAS cleans up Murray pretty badly with a swinging forearm to the head and its no sinbin huh?

[gerg]

Ooof, lovely hit on Walker by Olam there.

[zim]

Come on Storm. We'd really appreciate a win here.

[gerg]

I can't remember the last time I saw Storm this flat?

[julian87]

I've never seen them so bad. And I almost take offence to the constant reminder of their injury toll as Canberra's is worse currently.

It's bizarre because they're still fielding an international pack bar the lock, the Australian 6 and the NZ 7.

I think they're finally in a bit of trouble moving forward. Whatever forwards come in won't be able to manipulate the ruck like the Bromwichs, Kaufusi and Smith and Pap may never be the player he promises to be.

There forward pack is gooone. Too old. Bromwich's, Kaufisi all look tired. Losing them all and Smith this year will force them into a rebuild and they'll find a way but they don't have much coming through. Not sure what happened with that young Scholong or whatever his name was, from last year. The big fella with no neck?

[zim]

Fiery bulldogs titans game. Tino copping heaps and giving it back. Bit of a carve up by the dogs though.

[zim]

Titans have got some points in them when they control the ball. Should be another game like the Warriors except against a better running game and worse kicking game. If we build pressure we'll win.
Extra cover efforts in defense from the inside will be important.

[zim]

Tigers up 16-6 at the half. NQLD really lacking a bit of enthusiasm in defense.

I was at the game last night. The conditions weren't ideal, but the Storm's handling was atrocious. The go-forward was also completely gone without the intensity of Brandon Smith on the park.

Clearly next season will usher in a huge rebuild of their forward pack with Smith, Kaufusi and the Bromwich brothers moving on, but they'll mainly miss Smith.

Munster is a gun, and both Hughes and Grant are really solid, but they are hugely missing the X factor of Papenhuyzen on top of the intensity of Smith.

Big transition for them ahead.

Tough call on Maumolo. So inconsistent in this area.

[Canberra Milk]

There it is. The worst bunker in fact any call I have ever seen.

[Canberra Milk]

And Brandy's right, it wasn't challengeable, play hadn't stopped. That just makes it doubly worse

[Northern Raider]

That was wrong on so many levels

[Seiffert82]

That is next level **** up.

They shouldn't even have been able to challenge a call after the siren after the ref called play on.

Such a terrible end to the game.

That's a terrible way for the Tigers to lose. Ties into what I was saying this week about shepherding/blocking the attacking player.

[Seiffert82]

Not sure if that's unconscious bias, or just incompetence.

How did they even allow a challenge. You can only challenge a decision. Ref let play go. You cannot challenge a non-decision.

[Thomas Raider]

Klein is a joke!!!
