So I'm watching that game I just posted. The Cowboys started with the ball and pushed it up a bit. When they got like 3/4 of the way up the field one of the guys on their team just did a low punt, basically giving the ball to the Eels. Why would he do that? edit: Ah, I guess they have 5 attempts before they have to punt, eh? edit: and you have to give the ball back to the team that just scored? THAT seems unfair the fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Apr 29, 2014 |

 The most successful league club ever. Also you can just post to enrage the regulars. We also play good football, and are 4 years rape free which is more than all the rest.

the posted:So I'm watching that game I just posted. Think of tackles as downs in your football. Fourth down is the same as the fifth tackle, except the line to gain is always the goal line. If you get tackled a sixth time, it's a turnover. The tackle count resets when possession changes. Receiving the ball after scoring is weird. The theory is that with a decent kicker, the team that scored shouldn't be able to mount an attack on that next possession. As far as picking a team to support goes, stay the gently caress away from the Roosters (Cunts), Souths, Brisbane, Manly and Melbourne. The Raiders might be an option if you want a team that won a bit in the early 90s, but these days have some sort of crisis every other week. We have to check in on Burn Down Canberra pretty often to make sure he hasn't killed himself. The Warriors and Tigers are good choices if you want to oscillate between  BEST GAME EVER and  .

Support Souths if you like Russell Crowe I suppose. Sometimes you can hear him from the bunny costume on the sideline screaming "On my signal, unleash hell!"

Follow the mighty broncos! Once the best team in the league we became a pathetic rabble after losing the best coach in the game and our star player retired. Now we're starting to rebuild but won't do too well this year. But jump aboard the

It bodes well for anyone else that gets injured in the NRL as well, plus if it raises awareness for spinal injuries in general that's good too. I love my club!

Was really good to see him at the game the other day. Also, if anyone wasn't completely convinced of a Kangaroos victory, it looks like Kearney will start Tohu Harris at five-eighth and Ben Henry at hooker.

Well that's slightly better, at least John has played NRL in that position. Australian odds will blow out to $1.08 now.

I can't imagine why Australia's odds would be higher than $1.00, honestly.

Classy move by the Knights and the NRL. I can't remember the last time I saw a Kiwis team with this many borderline first graders. There was some merit to the idea of playing another forward at 6 and having Johnson play both sides on the field, but the downside is that I have no idea who the next kicker would be. Henry at dummy half is weird, I don't know if he has ever played there. Tuivasa-Sheck should be the fullback.

I guess things like this tend to generally be done after a player actually dies but is there an opportunity for something like a McKinnon award where players who overcome serious adversity (my thinking is inspired by the Bill Masterton trophy in the NHL)

I am firming up in my opinion that a tackle should contain no more than two defenders and two attackers except within the goal and 10 metre line. So many injuries are from players getting bent back by the weight of a third man in, it's ridiculous.

Lyon isn't too bad nowadays, Ennis is still a shitlord though. Bird is definitely up there, though.

Much better game than I expected last night. The composure of that Australian team was impressive, there was no hint of panic when they were trailing a team they should have beaten by 30+.bowmore posted:Why isn't Hargreaves playing? Don't understand The official excuse was that statistically he's rubbish every time he plays against Australia. Sleeping pills and energy drinks are probably in there somewhere too. ili posted:Ennis in his prime maybe, the other two are no chance. Ennis's prime as far as being an annoying little oval office extends from birth to 2040. Bird still beats him when you factor in his off-field activities.

It was closer than most predicted (I had Aussies by 16) but at no stage of that game was I in any doubt of the end result.
