NRL 2021

Round 12 results

Thursday, May 27

Broncos 12  vs  40 Storm

no thunder, lightning, hail or rain, with a clear sky over Brissy, and yet a storm went through Lang Park….

Friday, May 28

Cowboys 29  vs  28 Warriors
fancy that!
what was a general run of the mill late tackle penalty 3 rounds ago, was a NRLC directed sin binning in this game, giving the Cowboys a crucial 10 minute period to get themselves into this game and eventually squeeze in another 1 point, pot shot win, in the dying stages of the game….

Tigers 34  vs  18 Dragons

that pantless deviant Pooh is happily getting into his honey pot again … the de-fur-balled Tiggers roared and soared…

Saturday, May 29

Panthers 30  vs  4 Bulldogs

The black cats had a quiet-ish day at the office

 Rabbitohs 38  vs  20 Eels

with injured/suspended players coming back the Bunnies showed where the Eels are lacking, against full strength top teams.

Roosters 44  vs  16 Raiders

all`s not well in Stickyland... and the tax system stinks too

Sunday, May 30

Sharks 38  vs  10 Titans

What can one say?.... the Titan`s didn`t bring the bread, let alone butter it for a fish  sandwich…

 Knights 18  vs  10 Sea Eagles

in the 2^nd 40 minutes it was great to see the Knights get so many rest perids, and breaks to regain their defensive and offensive structures, it`s co-incidental that the whistle stoppages killed off all momentum builds by Manly…. 

want to eliminate ‘crusher tackles’?  outlaw the ball carriers twisting and reversing into defensive players… after all, it`s for their own protection / wellbeing

Another strong NSW team on paper, but will they be good enough? Gaigai had a blinder this weekend and may just inspire the Maroons to another upset series win.

AJ Brimson
Kurt Capewell
Daly Cherry-Evans (c)

Could also put Ponga in the centres for Capewell and put Capewell on the bench at 14 and put Holmes at fullback.

Yep QLD will win again. 3-0

I hope that this years QLD is the worst in history again... I hope that numbskull (the grub) gets reminded of this every day for here in.

I hope he get's bashed in his next fight with that QLD'er.

16th June I think it is.

Anyone know how Hess has been playing? Oh and @Old Scaley don't worry, they do their best work 'on paper' .... . As long as our injured trio are good to go we've got 'em covered (ON the field that is .... ).

They moved him to front row and he has been going well. Seems he's more suited to prop these days.

if going on form, this looks a fairly easy round to tip... then again, even on their day, the Doggies can always find a way of missing out on the 2 points

sigh...

[kmcrosby78]

Looking forward to Origin 1 next week - have been far too busy with work to keep up with the teams news but have full confidence the Qld boys will play well ......

[ellicat]

I've told you before - "Don't mention the war !!"

[ellicat]

Looks like the wrong Maroons will be winning tonight.

 

[GregOug]

Just had a look at my tips for this week and how they are going. If anyone is prepared to part with $20 I am prepared to provide them with my tips before the round begins each week so they can go the opposite and race up the ladder.

I don't support them. I was just smart enough to tip them ........ 

[Drop Bear]

so far this has been a perfect round for me... 3-3 losses that is.

Steve and I are there for you mate.

[Drop Bear]

Did anyone pick the Sharks. Well done if you did.  I probably should have if I had realised half their team beat the maroons last week...

Never fear. You’ll probably still do better than some of us.

[GregOug]

That’s it. I’m officially retiring from the comp. I finally made it onto the first page. Quit while you’re behind. That’s my motto.

[natang]

After the way this round has been refereed with the touch of the head and players looking like soccer players now to draw penalty I am so so os close to tuning out of my beloved NRL for this first time in my life.... I am starting to not care anymore...

 

[ellicat]

It's just a matter of time before they get it bedded down and be more consistent. Hang in there.
