NRL 2017

[Gunner]

Shitballs, I don't recall reading anything about Tohu potentially coming here. Usually that sort of signing is flagged in the media well before it happens.
Good signing.

[Bovidae]

@Gunner This signing was definitely suggested in the media.

@Bovidae Probably got lost in all the usual "Kiwi born player to sign with Warriors" stories that come out when someone is wanting to upgrade their current contract i.e Steve Matai, Alex Glenn.

Todd Greenberg says NRL Nines 'has a massive future' but maybe not in Auckland

[taniwharugby]

uh oh, I can see empty seats at the 9s, does that mean the honeymoon is over...

[Sneakdefreak]

Panthers look the team to beat, Warriors playing right now against Manly. SJ looks like he might not play the tournament - has a groin injury.

[Sneakdefreak]

4-4 at halftime. No idea who Sam Cook is but will have to look him up before I do the season preview.

[Sneakdefreak]

Kata also out with a virus.

[Sneakdefreak]

Lolohea/Ayshford combo does it - Warriors score to make it 11-8.

[taniwharugby]

whats the bonus point try about?

[Sneakdefreak]

Sea Eagles win 15-11. Mason Lino nearly wins it at the death but drops the pill. Oh well.

[Sneakdefreak]

@taniwharugby Score under the posts you get extra points.

[Dice]

Not as potent without Johnson and Kata.

Nice to see Isaiah Papalii out there. Very good prospect.

[Sneakdefreak]

@Dice Doubt they'll make the 9s playoffs tbh, but the NRL season is the main goal so let it be.

[taniwharugby]

some woeful defending so far in Warriors next game, missing SJ in attack

[mariner4life]

And in the world's least surprising development, the Warriors turn up to a league game looking unfit and un-coached.

Hey Tui, why don't you run guys out of space some more

World politics might have turned on its head in the last twelve months, but it's reassuring to know that some things just never change.

[antipodean]

I'm guessing they're targeting the finals...

For the end of season trip?

[mariner4life]

Reports Manly are trying to medically retire Brett Stewart and Steve Matai. If so, end of a couple of decent careers.

Also, Wayne Bennett finally got to make his adopted son captain of the Broncos.

All Stars game is on tonight, and looking at the teams, it's going to be a one-sided affair. Indigenous All Stars have 7 Origin players, and a host of really talented players. The "World All Stars" side doesn't even have fucking photos for half of their players on the website. It's a bunch of nobodies.
