Dogs next week

[Vasco]

If we don’t put 50 on this team next round it’ll prove we are just making up the numbers

they will still be missing players that broke the COVID bubble and watching the Manly game currently their replacements are definitely reserve grade standard

We are making up the numbers.

[player 1]

I still remember that game against the Dogs in 2018. 6-0 after 80 minutes. Defence was the key there...Rugba Leeg is shite now.

Conservatism has its drawbacks, but right now we are seeing the drawbacks of radicalism with the major structural changes to the conduct of a game that has seen very few rule changes over a century.

I was a Vlandys sympathiser initially, weren't we all? He got the game going again - I still remember how grateful I felt to watch a game on TV after the initial lockdown.

I don't know the fellow, but I now fully resent his unilateral and far reaching intrusions into a game I have been invested in for 50 years. The prick could have at least asked for advice from rugby league experts, not just lawyers.

We are 100% making up the numbers even if we put 100 on them.Will end up probably in 6th position & be punted1st round of finals.Not bagging them,just too beat up & the blokes left are far too young & experienced to bring out a win or match it with the top 4

[Mickie Lane]

Not if our halves are Manu and Keighran.

Nah I think the Chooks should keep it as even as possible & play Lam & Walker in the halves.
Hows Mrs BB going & hows your lock down time going?

Pretty much agree with ya P1. I do still think PVL is someone who gets things done, a bit Trumpian in that respect as opposed to the 'nothingness' offered by most modern day western leaders.

However, in this case, the collateral damage is too great a price to pay.

66 nil?

Welcome to the touch footy competition that V'landys built.

So close and exciting!

Have you noticed the commentators spruiking the "not many repeats sets so it is not the 6-again" propaganda?

30% more tackles in a game than 2019 and it apparently has nothing do with rule changes.

[bondi paul]

5 games so far and the 5 losing teams have scored only 36 points between them and 178 against. A telling stat about the state of the game.

[Kentucky_Fried_Rooster]

I watched the game with my diehard Manly supporting brother, he loved the result obviously but we both thought the Penrith vs Parramatta game was the best so far this weekend.
As much as I love winning by 50 a game where we win by 1 or 2 points in an arm wrestle is far more rewarding and exciting.

Rubbish teams are deservedly getting flogged, new rules had nothing to do with that dogs performance.

I think the rules are being used as a bit of a cop out, the dragons/warriors game and penrith/parra games were great.

it’s the quality of the teams that is really being shown up, and to be honest, every year that I can remember recently has only had a handful of teams that can genuinely compete for the premiership.

the 66-0 blowout games this year, would probably have been 30-40 plus blowouts anyway a couple years ago.

I know for me, if the roosters were winning by over 40 points every game with a healthy team, I wouldn’t be complaining about the rules at all.

I don’t like the new rules, but it won’t change, so if I want to keep enjoying league, I have to accept them and hope the chooks can compete next year.

1 million percent.

How long did it take you both to work that out?

The refereeing of us in this game will be the same as in every other game.
Broncos game, Storm game...as but 2 examples.

We need to play the biggest players we can in every position.
We need to stop opposition teams scoring 30,40 and 50 points against us "every" game.
We need to turn up and bash teams in defence (legally of course)...this "perfect gentlemen" idea is getting us nowhere.

[BUDDY]

We lost 46-0. Dogs lost 66-0 so that means we'll win 20-0 simples.

I'm doing a Pick The Score on 0-0.

Yes, rugba leeg is indeed shyte.
It's 'nothing' like rugby league.

Making rugby league more entertaining was one thing, but rugba leeg is ridiculous. Ridiculous, like its draw and rules.

[Johnny Tobin]

We would be loving “Rugba Leeeeeg” if we were in the top two.
