Round 11, Magic Round *Discussion / Spoilers*

[supercoach]

Souths no15 is a very good player and he is the kid we are apparently trying to lure over . I think we are Buckley’s but Richo has a connection from his Souths day

Another game where Latrell’s laziness shined through, minimal hit ups and didn’t even crack 80 run metres.

Great night of footy.
Magic round is a good event.

Superb
I’m gonna go next year

I thought he’d fire up when he beat half their team to score and he did get a couple of try assists but he still isn’t involved enough.
He ain’t a fullback and never has been.

They definitely got their money's worth from the games today.

Always great when Souffs lose 👍

Cowboys ended Roosters unbeaten magic round streak last year, ended Souths this year.

The Roosters Sharks game was great, easily the best today. A lot of skill on display and Talakai is a bulldozer.

This weekend has been Manly's home game against Broncos, South's home game against NQ and Tigers' home game against Dolphins. That is BS. Basically, the league takes NSW team home games and just hands them as freebies to Qld teams.

Why couldn't the NRL change these games to Qld home games and change the reverse games to NSW? Are the NSW teams financially compensated for losing their home game advantage?

How do you consider a North Qld game in Brisbane as a true home game from them? Townsville is a 2 hour flight. Double what Sydney to Melbourne is. They have to travel further than Sydney teams.

Just realised that the Wests Tigers biggest losing streak is 7. Currently 6. Crazy if this team doesnt win in the next couple of weeks. Worse then the old teams

We have lost 10 in a row twice.

I posted last year how close we were to hitting some ugly records.

If that happens again we will be the only team in 100yrs+ to have achieved that milestone.

Reality is Benji can sprout defensive efforts etc but if he doesn’t win games then we are no worse off than years before.

Surely it's more of a home game with Townsville expats in Brisbane

Sharkies ruining my tipping because it seems as though they’re actually good but I just cant see it because I was there when we pumped them at Leichhardt

That's exactly me too.

Thompson the prop from Newcastle ....is he from Qld or NSW ??

Born in Muriwai, a settlement and rural community at the southern end of Poverty Bay, in the Gisborne District of New Zealand's North Island, south of Manutuke and yes that's in Queensland.

After the Sharks game we have the bye and we can probably pick up the 2 points there with a pinch of luck.

Knights fought hard for that win. Tough D from their players won it.

Probably didn't deserve to win and were very lucky.... Some call there way and some really dumb play from them... Reminded me of us

2 points they shouldn't have

 

[Tucker]

Raiders culture. Stirring stuff.

Twelve
End of 22 till about round eight 23...panthers in Bathurst

Locked into Sun Corp for next 3 years
Right spot for it as long as the weather good, looks like a fun w/end

 

[hank37w]

Nice tribute by Loz and all the Canberra boys.

Nothing like the self centred tributes that our old pumpkin head was involved in.

Rapana had a shocker of a game and almost single-handedly lost Canberra that game, but led a highly respectful Haka.

The 12 game losing streak we needed. Forced Justin & Lee to panic and abandon their strategy after 6 weeks. Ultimately Sheens was the fall guy but at least we got rid of the muppets.
