Rugby League Thread

NRL is back in Australia tonight with the Brisbane Broncos taking on the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Should be a cracking game, especially with the return of Wayne Bennett as the Broncos manager. For anyone who doesn't know he was at the club for like 21 years and won a lot of trophies. After he left to say the Broncos have struggled would be an understatement. He's practically the Rugby League version of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Reckon the Rabbitohs will have to much for the Broncos tonight and win by 10+ I reckon.

Been soooo good having league back on TV and I can't wait to start playing again

Some shocks in round 1 as well.

Sharks beaten by the Raiders in Cronulla and the Eels beating Manly

Wouldn't call the Eels win a shock, Manly lost a shit load of players plus the turmoil surrounding DCE. I tipped Parra to win that one about 2 weeks ago.

I thought it was a shock. Even losing players and the DCE saga honestly couldn't see the Eels winning in that fashion. Perhaps a narrow win, but not so convincingly like that. Queensland teams are in major fucking strife this year I think, can't see the Broncos or Titans making the top 8 and the Cowboys as per usual will be dependant on JT dragging their arses across the line. I think Rabittohs could go back to back.

Bullshit call by the referee in the Manly v Storm game tonight when it was locked at 6-6.

Should have checked a try with the video referee, didn't and it turned out to be a clear cut try.

Manly went on to lead 24-6 at the break and it eventually finished 24-22.

Didn't catch any of the saturday games due to a wedding but they fucked my tipping up well except the Panthers game lol

Well Manly didn't deserve to beat the Storm and the Sharks should have beaten the Broncos.

Bulldogs leading 16-12 with three minutes to go at Brookvale.

Broncos absolutely thrashing the Cowboys 32-6 at half time

Been a crazy weekend.

Eels beating the Rabbitohs started it all off before the Titans beat the Sharks and Broncos beat the Warriors in NZ.

Storm beating the Cowboys 10-4 at the moment.

Absolutely fucked week for tipping but I recovered and finished with 5/8. I tipped both the Titans and the Cowboys. This week is looking just as tough though. I will be at ANZ for the doggies/souths game as I am every year and every year it is a close one. Have to go with my team the doggies though.

Crazy scenes after the Bulldogs v Rabbitohs game

I was at the game, I wanted to throw shit too. I'm done with the NRL after that pathetic excuse for officiating and I'm not just talking about the penalty at the end.

Typical Lebo Doggies fan

Nah it was pretty disastrous wasn't it. How about the officials dive as he was coming off?

Canberra beat Manly tonight, another shock result.

Stop stereotyping my club I'm Aussie you fool

I tipped Canberra to beat Manly, I should have tipped the Sharks too, seem to have the wood over the Rooters the last few years.

You're an honorary Lebo if you support the Doggies though

Sharks were superb against the Roosters, controlled the game so well.

Oh please I follow the footsteps of my father who has supported them when they were the berries, loooooong before we became a "lebbo" club lol

For some reason I like the Rugby commentary more than the games. This being a good example.

At 1:20 "What a magnificent try, shove it up your arse!"
