From Warren Smith to Vossy, I'm in commentator heaven.

have trouble posting, is the forum having a melt done

A few threads are playing up at the moment.

 

[dylan the villian]

When's our next game? V who?

 

[JimBob]

Hahaha, pretty sure the guy Halligan was just talking up was the one who pharked up on the kickoff.

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

You know what i hate?

Aukland 9's. So much emphasis and hype given to the Warriors........
Indigenous All Stars V NRL All Stars.......a week of hearing only aboriginal hype.

The NRL is a joke in this way, they find some form of thing to hype up and just flog it to death, this is a 16 side tournament not 1. If the build up and attention is going to all face in 1 direction, then send the other 15 teams home now with their cash and save players from injury.

I think it's at like 2:15 or there abouts against the Titans.

Listen to the crowd mate. It's obvious that the Warriors are the heavy favourites at the stadium so of course they're going to talk them up. It's like the Olympics, whenever an athlete from the hosting country is about to compete the commentators talk them up and the crowd goes wild.

Is it fair to the other 15 teams? Nope, but they do it in all sports.

What a try for the warriors, these guys are the ones to beat IMO.

bit different to 100 people at a NSW cup game huh.

Im not talking about the crowd. Or the commentators, Im talking about promotion, the media is a joke in its biased promotion of the NRL and all its events.

 

[fishermanaxe]

Garner for a regular wing spot anyone? Yeah, yeah "his defense isn't good enough " I know , but could he offer more than he gives away ?

 

[JimBob]

Tomkins and Johnson, Jesus that's scary from the Sharks point of view.

 

[deano the p]

Tomkins and Johnson are carving it.

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Just the Sharks? All the NRL has to deal with them mate. Johnson is going to become Benji. His improv playing will start to unravel eventually. Great young talent, but he is going to need more than Chad Townsend in the 6 if he wants to win a premiership

Don't know what NSW Cup has to do with it, why bring it up?

Jesus, does it really matter? It's being held in New Zealand and rugby league is dominating Union in the press at the moment. This will help rugby league grown in NZ, and that's a good thing.

I think he is more effective sniffing around the ruck. If only we had a full time hooker and Gards could be a bench impact player. No point having a second hooker and Gards on the bench. and 2 forwards.
Gordon will do a stint on the sidelines, thats Gardners time to shine

Fullback for me, I think he would be exposed more on the wing than at fullback.

Just take a moment to appreciate this fellas.

We're actually arguing over outside backs because we have good players that'll have to play reserves. Oh how the times have changed at Cronulla.

Think of words like promotion, sponsorship, money, exposure, fan base.........all those things are important. TO ALL 16 clubs. In New Zealand by the way?
You wonder why we don't have a sponsor........cos of **** like this. BIASED MEDIA

 

[deano the p]

Warriors in again great try.
