NRL Rumour Mill Thread (Spoilers/Game Results)

[saintsforever]

Good we dodged a bullet, good young kid, but I don't think the Dragons need a winger.

Dragons to go back to catch and pass classes.

The North Queensland Cowboys have signed former Penrith Panthers half Te Maire Martin to the club until the end of the 2019 NRL season.

Martin, 21, will begin training with his new club this week after being granted a release from the Panthers.

This surprised me I thought he was heading back to NZ

 

[Jaede]

SKD signed with knights effective immediately until the end of 2019.​

 

[hobo]

Good luck to him I say.

 

[Jaede]

Just a heads up to those interested Steve Mortimer and Peter Kelly will be at the penrith collectable show from 12pm-1pm this sunday

Wow!

The knock on ruling for the Roosters try was horrible

Poor Knights!!

 

[footycardswaps]

I was listening to the wireless and the commentators were gobsmacked by the ruling.

 

[Brendan_B]

Game changer also. Only 12-4 at the time and the Knights fighting hard.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

No team has ever won the comp after conceding 50 points in a regular season match.

Oh when the Saints, go marching in.

And neither of the teams that played today will even get a sniff of the Big Dance!.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I actually turned on thinking Saints season would end today.

Even Newcastle haven't conceded 50 in 2017. Para nearly vs Roosters when Gordon missed a conversion and kept them to 48. Biggest points loss ever to win comp was 49 by Newcastle in 2001.

 

[hobo]

And neither of the teams that played today will even get a sniff of the Big Dance!.

Agreed, neither the Tigers or the Eels have any chance.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Down to Storm, Roosters and Sharks. Maybe Brissy or Cowboys.

I'm picking Sharks back to back.

 

[Dr Grange]

I think Storm or Brisbane.........

 

[Davebvd]

I hope Brisbane. The only reason I collected 20 bloody predictors was in case they won. I need to keep my Broncos set near completion!

 

[Rocket1908]

Storm and Roosters might be out of puff by year's end. If i had to pick i'd say Brisbane. Hope Eels can get a miracle though because it looks like Souths are gone

 

[hobo]

I think it is pretty open.

Melbourne with Smith aren't a threat.
Broncos without MILF aren't a threat and he is one good hit away from surgery.
Sharks will implode no one goes back to back. Maloney and his $$ will hurt them.
Cowboys without JT don't win
Manly well the Dragons have put almost 100 on them this season.
Roosters -no fullback now is a worry.
Eels - still have issues with the spine
Penrith well could do anything but Griffin is their coach.

So by that the Dragons are a lock, load up and put the house on them.

Outstanding explanation.

 

[Brendan_B]

Everyone's thoughts on the Soliola hit?

Should it have been a send off?

4 weeks?

My thoughts (hard to be objective) are that it was certainly late and high but Slater slipping made the contact much worse. I think a send off or ten in the bin with a couple of weeks suspension would have been fine.

With the uproar about lack of penalty on the night I think he will get 4-6 weeks. Sia is not dirty or a grub, just a hard but but unfortunately he got this one wrong.

Simply stating the obvious!!!
