I'm a bit pissed tbh. It's a pointless game. Hopefully it's his mcl and he only misses the first month or so of the season. Awful.

loving commentators give me a heart attack saying Moses limped off seriously injured on the far side. Eventually show a shot and he's comfortably walking around looking completely fine. Hopefully croker isn't too badly hurt.

The world side is not even worthwhile, I casually strolled into a pub and noticed the Indigenous side was pumping World. Looked at the team, apart from Cartwright and maybe Friend or Mbye it's fairly slim pickings. Did every player just shrug off a selection to focus on their season prep?

That's generally how it goes, yes. Except for players who want to pick up an awesome season ending injury.

Tuned out when the scoreline hit 16-0. Not sure what the point of these matches are in a sport where injuries are so common

I dont want to come across as a bitter fuckwit here but its a dumb game for morons and should be thrown in the bin But seriously back when it started the world team was pretty good and the indigenous team had more to play for so it was a good contest. Now the indigenous team still has all that pride to play for and the allstars are a piece of poo poo Here is a far out crazy idea but enter an indigenous team in the 9s or have them play a pacific island team because right now its the indigenous team versus the footyplayers who are too dumb to get out of the game. EDIT Or play it at the end of the season before the grand final or something (obviously with all the grand finalists withdrawn) Burn Down Canberra fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Feb 10, 2017 |

Notes from tonight's trial: Somebody gave me a free ticket outside the stadium - thanks, random dude. Moses Soli looked the goods. The Dragons lock got ten for throwing a punch, so good passion for a trial game I guess. Idris also looked the part when he could hold the ball. Tigers offence was 90% hit it up and bomb the fullback (or drop the ball - so many dropped balls), but that's trials. Dragons looked pretty solid though, especially in defence. The referees were shameless of course but the Tigers seemed to get their share of the dodgy penalty calls which was nice. The Dragons hooker got opened up somehow and came off looking like Benny Elias at SoO. Jai Field scored a very nice try for the Dragons right on half time. WIN Stadium looks like a cool place to watch football, at least in summer evenings. Final score: Dragons 20-10. Also six weeks for Croker I hear, for a dislocated kneecap.

6 weeks is ok i guess Should see him back by round 3. We have cover at goal kicking (sezer) and i expect the raiders to start slow anyway (physically large team over the hotter rounds is not good) Still a lot of the raiders strength is outwide and croker is a pretty underrated centre. He is quite a smart player. Like last year against the warriors after defending most of the first half croker put a clever little kick in behind the line that turned the game. Plus his point scoring That said we started last year missing BJ over the first rounds because he forgot how to legally tackle for a period of time.

The latest rort from grubby clubs like Parramatta and Manly:Fox Sports posted:NRL 2017: Manly Sea Eagles apply for medical retirement clearances for Brett Stewart and Steve Matai Desperately resign ageing veterans on big backended contracts then weasel out of the cap hit on the back end by getting a friendly doctor to medically retire him. edit: in light of QBE turning down Watmough's claim and him vowing to return to training I loving hope that puts them back over the cap this year and last because of his un-retirement.

Any attempt to get Matai's money off the cap is laughable, his neck and shoulder were wrecked years ago. If Parra is going to screw Watmough around, I hope he gets them back. They got a huge break when his salary came off the books, denying him his option (which he's contractually allowed to exercise) is just dirty.

Imagine the court case, they could play an uninterupted 2 hour long clipvideo of Matai crouched on the ground holding his shoulder spliced from his career while Manly's lawyers shuffle around awkwardly in their seats looking embarrassed.

The Warriors are such traditionally poor starters that I'm nervous as gently caress about this home game v Newcastle. This fixture is as good as a bye for every other club but it's exactly the kind of thing we routinely gently caress up edit: ugh you reminded me of that loving putrid first half in last year's season opener

Stats time: Since their formation and inclusion in the 1995 ARL season, the Warriors have only won 7 of their regular season opening round fixtures (1996, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007 and 2009). The 1996 win also comes with an asterisk, as the Broncos forfeited the fixture due to fielding players not actually signed to the Super League, although the Warriors also won the second fixture that season as well. The last time the Warriors played the Knights in round 1 was in 2015. Newcastle won that fixture at home 24-14.
