Blue v Maroon editionNRLW>GAME 1Cronulla Sharks v Brisbane Broncos7:45pm AEST on Fox, Kayo and Ch9Ocean Protect Stadium5.75-1.14>The Broncos got their title defence off to a cracking start in Round 1, demolishing the Cowboys 50-4 in front of a record crowd at Suncorp Stadium. The reigning premiers ran riot, showing off their depth, speed and attacking polish. Cronulla, meanwhile, battled hard but could not match Newcastle's class in an 18-4 defeat. The Sharks defended strongly for long periods but struggled to generate sustained attacking pressure, managing just a single try against Ben Jeffries’ disciplined Knights outfit. In this clash, the key will be whether Cronulla's middle can slow Brisbane's explosive forward pack. If the Broncos generate quick play-the-balls off the back of work done in the middle, Tamika Upton and Ali Brigginshaw will create opportunities all over the field. For the Sharks to cause an upset, their edge defenders must shut down Brisbane’s strike. Field position and completion rates will be critical. Brisbane enter this game as favourites, but if the Sharks, better for their opening hit-out, put in a solid 70-minute performance, anything is possibleSharks 1-12 6.00Sharks 13+ 21.00Broncos 1-12 3.10Broncos 13+ 1.67Sharks +14.5 1.90 Broncos -14.5 1.90previous thread >>156485168

So did Bostock finger it or not?>Fittler was told by officials on the sideline that the Bunker had used unseen footage from a camera in the corner post to determine Bostock had not touched it.>But the Best try took a shock twist about an hour after the game when the NRL released a statement saying the original decision on Bostock was, in fact, wrong.>“After reviewing all available angles, the Bunker did not believe there was sufficient evidence to overturn the on-field decision,” the NRL statement said.>“Upon detailed review after the match, the NRL believes that while it was an extremely tight decision, the ball appeared to be touched.”

Maroons honestly looked more dangerous with Walsh in the halves.Should the Broncos think about moving him to halfback? I think its a better fit for him than fullback. Just put a tackle machine out the back.

I look around the league and I don't really see a team that would want to pay up to $1m for Luai for one year just for him to go to PNG. Only one I can think of is Parramatta but even then I think the Volkmeister is playing better than him

>>156526805Cleary is a weird kind of player, he sort of goes hot and cold during a game, not like your typical great star players. I remember the whole game being run by Wally, it was kind of mesmerizing, you would be yelling at them just to tackle him but he had all the time in the world and it was relentless.

They do the bunker better in Rugby union.The video referee is there to ASSIST the on field ref. They look at the big screen and the angles together then come to a conclusion together.The on field ref still gets the final call

Is Tiana, dare I say it, washed?
>>156530319>duckfaceits funny how trends come back
I'm a Tigers supporter since i was 13 year old , im 27 now , and I think Jerome Luai has been a very expensive "ball distributor"...has hardly ever run the ball , or led the attack...except when about 15 metres out.....Benji needs to put a rocket under him , and also get the defence to move forward more than about 5 metres , then all mark time, and then someone gets stepped...all the good teams move a lot quicker to pressure the attack... and while on the defence , get the third man in around the legs a lot quicker...not rocket science, but they look like they aren't fit enough. And lastly ,surely they have a better 6 somewhere in the club than the little ex Rockets...they never let him go because he could play...not rocket enough. Just some thoughts.
quincy dudd just giggling and smiling at the end kek, at least pretend you care about losing

>>156528456Kino
>>156525585>Should the Broncos think about moving him to halfback?yeah buts its madge so he'll just put him in fullback stare off in the distance recruit over 35 retirees, let actual talent go to the phins and actual peems who know what they're doing and go to the board of bucks broncs and stallions and go they're just not trying enough but just wait till the off season guys I'll set em straight!! why is haas getting the fuck outta here?
