NRL NRL 2025 - Round 6

[Big Unit 30]

Rd 6 and we’re playing Newcastle for the second time

 

[Aucklander]

Huge upset coming.

Jfc I hate being a broncos supporter

 

[Aucklander]

AAMI sold out.

 

[sosos]

Think Broncos brains trust got dazzled by the collective talent in the backline and forgot most games are won by dominance in the ruck.

Looked like they had the size advantage too.

Does anyone actually travel to these 'away' fixtures? Townsville to Perth, say, is an enormous distance, I imagine flights would cost a fortune? Much more than Wigan taking a game to Dublin or Paris, as has been mooted?

 

[windyhill]

Storm running amok.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Warriors phone it in too often against Melbourne.

Warriors coming back now. Storm q in rack

 

[Aucklander]

Yes!! We won the 2nd half!! Does that count?

 

[Big Unit 30]

I’m in Thailand and the songkran water festival meant I missed the Tigers win.
Looking at the stats it would appear Newcastle had a stinker though …

 

[balmainforever]

Newcastle looked like a reserve grade team. No go forward, Ponga was well held and didn’t look interested.
If that was the storm instead of the tigers, 100 mightn’t have been out of the question.

The try that Toa scored was really bad defensively from a scrum. 4 on 3 at a scrum should never happen.

AAMI sold out.

Either quite a lot decided to not turn up late or it wasn't sold out. Empty seats everywhere.

4 points scored across 2 games for us. And we had the bye before that.

No idea what we do in training.

Well, quite. And made worse by the fact that the Tigers aren't anything special.

 

[balmainforever]

Galvin refuses to sign contract extension with the tigers. Will be playing for someone else in 2027.

 

[Jatz]

That's who we should've been looking at.

Instead we've thrown everything at the 5/8 who's team is currently last.

Absolute morons.

 

[PhatBoy]

Well f**k I didn’t see some of those scores coming. Namely ours - we actually played genuinely tough footy on Friday and didn’t give the Broncos much at all.

Hate this ‘crackdown’ garbage they decide to pull every so often but it is what it is.

Major red flags for Penrith who seem in panic mode from kick off to full time at the moment. They’ve gone so far away from what made them incredible. Can do with a major injection of patience
