and no one wants to talk about the chooks? freddy talked it up pretty good during the week, but yet again, all talk and nothing else.

anyone like to offer an excuse on behalf of the chooks? what about the broncos, being at home and on a roll?
Honestly though, is there anybody out there that was of the believe that the Roosters would actually roll the Storm?

Not even close.

If anything, Manly are the closest, but the consecutive losses have got to be having an effect on the Eagles psychologically. Storm look the goods for the minor premiership.

you're right, no one will fancy their chances against melb, at melb. but at this day and age, i reckon any team in the top 5 or 6 has the honest potential to beat any other. but the roosters never looked like they were in the contest, at all. maybe it is the graveyard effect.

against all theories, i think cowboys and dogs won't win another game this year, hence the spoon to the cowboys. also, realisticcally, knights won't make the 8, because they got the broncos and storms to go, and raiders should be 5th, at least.

I'll offer some excuses
We were missing 4 internationals and a State of Origin player, then lost our hooker early in the match
We were never going to win that match missing our two best forwards this year in Sa and Myles, as well as our top try scorer in Kenny Dowall
Worst of all, Brent fucking Grose was in the team. If he's ever picked for first grade again, I'll shoot Fittler. That shoulder charge on Quinn defending our line was horrendous.
On our day, I still think we can roll Melbourne

Is NRL dead?

Seriously, the game needs a massive revamp. it's pretty much on the rocks, and I'm not sure it can be revived. What do you guys think? Is the sport dead? Is there a way it could be brought back to the glory it once basked in?

Re: Is NRL dead?

it's basically at its potential as a code, and the media hype it up to be much more than it is

gallop's interviews on the footy show after the SBW thing indicate pretty clearly that if news limited pulled out tomorrow clubs like melbourne would cease to exist

it's basically a sydney/newcastle + brisbane comp that shouldn't expect more than about 10k attendances

big fish in a small pond basically

Super League matchs are almost always sold out, and the fans over there are always much more hyped than over here.

NRL needs to get rid of the salary cap, because fuck, everyone is going to go overseas, or to Union. <3 Money.


Great original idea, GENIUS.

How about coming up with a practical and feasible way of doing that instead of rehashing what those moronic footyheads have been ranting on about for years?

I think it's great that the players are leaving for lesser competitions and for massive money overseas. Just think, they will be getting like double, triple + what they are getting now and they may even be able to play longer due to the less rigorous nature of other comps.
