  • Opinion: this is one of the most boring, cooked up seasons yet

    Just an opinion but after the Faders winning the minor premiership, the Drongos were then railed into a round 1 'victory' during week 1 of the finals that destroyed the Faders' energy.

    Panthers had a somewhat gratuitous late season energy surge but flopped.

    Sharks had enough of a surge to beat us (we played our worst game of the season against them with errors during every key play despite physically dominating them in the middle) and then meh... beat the Faders convincingly enough when they were still recovering from 90+ minutes of heartbreaking footy (where they won twice and still 'lost').

    Blah blah respect to Bellamy but I'm not watching the GF and couldn't give a hoot who wins between Brisbane and Melbourne. It just feels like a bland game against 2 teams that were never the 'best' this year and we coulda beaten if we didn't fark up against the Sharks.

    Women's game... I'll get onboard but do I wanna watch this GF? Naaah. IMO it's not gonna be between the best 2 teams and there's just no 'soul' about it.

    Then we hear Marky Mark's p!ssing off in 2027 so will probably play dead in 2026. Damn I wish I could just fast forward to next season with Reece Robson in our colours, the DCE situation settled and a clearer view of who's playing on our wing in 2027 (Toops will be ~36 by then!!!)

    PS - this post may be alcohol induced

    Speaking of drinks, there will be a lot of them between now and 2027. Might make a thread about wingers.

    Fairly entertaining season if you like to watch more than 1 game per round as there were plenty of upsets.

    I'll be definitely watching the GF. The Broncos imo will blow the Storm off the park. Hopefully Klein doesn't get the gig! There was only 22 minutes of live play in the 1st half of the Storm v Sharks final. It was all about the Clown. Look at me look at me.

    Imo Atkins should be the GF referee.

      NRL definitely want a Brisbane GF win.

      The "bunker" overturning of the raiders try in first final because of a phantom knock on, and the calling back (presumably by the touch judge, as Atkins was running downfield, play on) yesterday of the intercept by Penrith because of a phantom offside, were just 2 egregious examples of massive leg ups to the donkeys.

      Quite a few crowd penalties and 6 agains yesterday too when Penrith were looking fatigued.

      It took them all game, but they eventually got them in front.

      Hats off to Penrith - what a team, and the Clearys were very good sports in the presser, but they were definitely reamed by the match officials.

      Cleary = best ever player.

        I prefer to be a Pollyanna and be really grateful for the fantastic highlights reel showing off the likes of Mark, Hugo etc..

        I'd said to my neighbour back at the end of May that the recent highlights package the club had put together for that month was so entertaining. It only got better after that and my tip for us had been 11th not 8th.

        I doubt very much if anyone in the 2026 Roosters squad will be 'playing dead'. I was always under the impression that we only had Marky for 2 seasons so I don't get all the hand wringing and whinging. As for the current grand finalists I wish them well as I have family who follow both clubs but I will be outside getting some fresh air after hopefully watching our girls go B2B. I manifested a 2024 Roosters premiership after all..I just didn't specify which gender it would be..

              One more thing about the Penrith final - Dylan Edwards - they really could have used a special game by him, but he didn't have one in him. never had any right to displace Teddy as number 1 fullback.

                  Don't you hey me.

                  You owe me, Andy and his Mrs Walker an apology for misrepresenting my marital status online. That's a crime in some countries.

                  And stop posting smack about Jack & Horrie too whilst you are at it. I hope I have made myself crystal clear councillor.

                  We all want a calm peaceful environment on here now that some of us have returned. We need the comfort and familiarity of old friends after losing family members and friends recently. Chris and Red do not need the stress of cleaning up any more nonsense. Post some songs and recipes to make us feel better. . You are an excellent cook so please get me up to speed about what you have been making as I need some inspiration for the warmer months.

                  Now let's all give peace a chance and enjoy the offseason. Watching Storm v Broncos is like watching paint dry..
