The NRL Thread- Everyone gets a coach

I noticed that (after years of me nagging about it) a Western Reds 1995 retro jersey has gone on sale. I always thought that retro jerseys of the deceased 90s teams would be a bit of a hit, hopefully this is just the start.

I would love a Gold Coast Seagulls or South Queensland Crushers jersey that didn’t cost upwards of $1500.

How about these Dolphins! This is beyond great stuff.

It is indeed a heartwarming story to see the Roosters getting pumped by one of the wooden spoon favourites.

Decent start to tipping, only results I got wrong was the Dolphins and Broncos games.

This week is pretty tough tipping.

Souths v Penrith. I’m tipping Souths but will find it hard to believe Penrith will lose two at hime in a row.

Dolphins win again and Canterbury whack Melbourne, happy rugby league to one and all.

The Dolphins game was actually a pretty good game to watch.

Atrocious conditions in Redcliffe. RIP the Roar if they have to play there next week, pitch ripped up the pitch.

Only game I’ve gotten right in my tips so far.

Surely that is it for Kayln Ponga - independently removed from the game last week for an HIA check and knocked clean out again this week…. Knights must be kicking themselves for giving him that massive contract

Surely he could just duck into a cubicle for a quick bump and sharpen right back up.

These Redcliffe Dolphins, how good is it!

Only four teams in the history of the comp have won more games in a row from their first game in existence (if my quick look through the records is correct). Dolphins can match Melbourne Storm if they beat the Broncos in the hot ticket game next weekend.

Eastern Suburbs 6
Brisbane 6
Glebe 5
Melbourne 4
South Sydney 3
Dolphins 3

It’s stupidly hot out here at Ringrose Park, Wentworthville. But very glad to be here, finally the real footy is back.

Ron Massey Cup 2023 is under way. Wentworthville vs the mighty Glebe.

That second half down in Canberra was piss-taking at its finest :joy:

Hayne found guilty (again)…

Fixed that for you.

So the Tigers have released their commemorative jersey for Anzac Day and offended everybody by having an image of US Soldiers, not Australian soldiers on it…

I’m not a Tigers fan but it’s obviously an innocent mistake. Sure they should have doubled checked it but people getting so offended need to chill out ffs

It’s embarrassing because not only is it apparently a ‘stock image’, the Tigers worked with the Australian military for it’s approval.

Oh yeah it’s definitely embarrassing for sure

Was approved by the NRL and Holsworthy barracks… whoever the designer was, they’re honestly idiots.
