The NRL Thread- Everyone gets a coach

Most ridiculous thing I ever saw

I guess that’s ok.

I was waiting for the players union to blow up about the turf.

The Tigers really want to challenge the dragons as the leagues biggest basket case

We are surely there already. I don’t know a lot about what is happening at the Dragons but there is no way it could be worse than the Tigers.

Sounds like a good way to incorporate Mad Monday into a season opener. Kudos to the NRL for such forward thinking !!

Surely Marshall as coach is NOT going to solve their problems. The least they can do, though, is to be competitive most weeks. I don’t know how in a salary cap competition, 3-4 teams can be so far behind the rest, and the top couple are often far ahead of the rest.

Man, the Phins really hit Brisbane like 2013 Wanderers.

Wests Tigers fans get ready to buy your Grand Final 2024 tickets.

Fa’alogo is having some debut for the Storm. The kid is going to be fucking terrifying with a few years of experience.

Broncos manage to shit the bed and could now miss out on the minor premiership
 I hate to agree with Joey Johns but there needs to be more prize money to get people to put more importance on winning it

:rofl:

I wonder if the NRL can move the game somewhere else in this circumstance. I doubt the live site thing will quite kick off the way the FIFA sites did. It’s not like any of the finals games are unavailable on free-to-air 


So glad the government spent 100s of millions to give these morons a stadium for big games and they won’t use it

I’m no fan of the money spent on Allianz, but let’s not pretend it only services rugby league.

The NRL’s policy allows for suburban grounds in week 1. The Sharks have earned the right to play at their, admittedly decrepit, home ground. I don’t see the problem with this.

Exactly this - if a club plays at a suburban ground that gives them significant advantage come finals time

Otherwise it’ll be the afl where everyone plays at Docklands or the mcg

The whole thing is complete and utter bullshit. The Sharks have opted to play there, it’s their choice. If they’re happy to lose the money and exposure to ensure they get a home ground advantage, the bully to them!

Earning the right to a home semi is still a feature of the A league finals series - except for the GF, obvs - isn’t it? A feature universally liked?
Go the Knights

Any tips for parking at Shark Park? Haven’t been in about 15 years.
