Wigan are not a very good side. I know it's early season, but there be a sizeable gulf in quality.

Jayden has been carving up U20s for a while now, he was one of a few upcoming Broncos developed talent (inc Ash Taylor/Matt Parcell) that they let go of last year. Jayden is the younger and supposedly better brother. Hasn't played a proper first grade game yet AFAIK Not sure if Jayden has declared his allegiance to NZ like his brother but if he does I reckon you'll see them together in the team sometime in the future

There are some brave kidnappers in Vietnam: http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/feb/21/former-nrl-player-jamal-idris-victim-of-attempted-kidnapping-in-vietnam?CMP=soc_568 I hope Idris can get it together and come back - he's someone I always liked seeing play, even when he was testing our defence apart.

I like the little touches of realism in the newest NRL game, like when the tigers have been on a ten game losing streak there's nobody at the games.

Haha Tamou got knocked the gently caress out by Garbutt after slapping Galloway. Personally I'd prefer the slapper gets the red, gently caress that pussy poo poo.

Looks like the Raiders will just buy out Tapines contract. So 80k to start him a year early here. I think that is a pretty good win by the Raiders tbh.

Man did the Rhinos ever get slapped hard (literally and figuratively) by the Cowboys. I like to think that, if Leeds had their entire Grand Final side injury-free to start the game and NQL were missing almost half their Grand Final side, the Rhinos would have won. But the disparity in playing ability between SL and NRL this year was massive.

Apollodorus posted:Man did the Rhinos ever get slapped hard (literally and figuratively) by the Cowboys. It's always been a bit of a disparity, WCC results are fairly even historically but usually our clubs don't send over their entire A-grade teams and aren't used to English conditions. The structured and set play that NRL teams have used and refined for years is also at an advantage of the more natural style popular in SL. It's nothing to do with the athleticism or ability of English players obviously, with stars like the Burgeoi, Widdop, Hodgson or Graham being some of the best in their respective positions in the NRL, NRL is just played at a higher level of intensity. I remember my grandfather talking about when they first started airing NSWRL games in Queensland and people were ringing up and complaining that the games were being shown in fast-forward because they just played at another level of pace to the Queensland competition of the time.

Well the Cowboys definitely sent their A-side. Still, the first forty were telling--and encouraging for me as a Leeds supporter.

Super League often seems faster to me, but not as structured as NRL. Case in point, Leeds' offloading style of play that often doesn't really get anywhere but takes a lot of effort and energy to work.

Welp, that's the Gold Coast going under then. One of the many, many reasons they flopped is because they associated themselves with NSW far too much in everyone's minds. Being bought out by the North Sydney Bears and moving games to NSW isn't going to help. But on the other hand it's not like things could get any worse for the Titans anyway.

My first instinct upon reading quote:On June 15, 2015, he allegedly took her into a headlock and then pulled her hair. was to say that it was the natural end state of the NRL's banning of punching causing him to fight like a girl but I'm not sure that the NRL thread is quite that dark.

Also gently caress him, if that stuff is true he's garbage and should have the book thrown at him. Preferably in the face, repeatedly.
