Aussie Sports Thread - NRL, AFL or A League

How much will getting rid of those problems on the board help the tigers to become more stable now.

And good luck to Newcastle in the A league who now has them to deal with.

Nice to see the Aussie teams doing well in super rugby. Getting rid of Melbourne is looking like the right move so far.

What a win for the Tigers - always the hope that kills you

Sorry SB

I've been hoping so for the past 20 yrs ... ! Its the best squad now for a long time so lets see ..

Feel the same, sounds weird to say that we have a chance, given how epically **** we have been for so long

Cmon Tigers

Do you think the tigers can get themselves sorted out and make some progress and become competitive?

I watched the highlights of the Adelaide 4 MacArthur 5 both teams conceded from the GK playing some terrible passes out for the back. 2-2 after 18 minutes and big mistakes from both teams. Pure entertainment

I went to Eels v Tigers game yesterday - seriously baking hot in that Stadium - how do they even play in that 37C+ heat - Dylan Brown isn't the most popular guy in Parramatta and was relentlessly slagged off the whole game - Tigers were great for once

I’d be surprised if they don’t release him earlier actually. Big money move to Newcastle that. Tigers will get better by mid season if they keep most players fit.

Brisbane off the bottom of the league! With two games in hand on Perth.

Must be happy SB titans in 10th having played no games ahead of teams who have played twice already.

Yeah big win for the Roar.

Titans were pants for most of the match but had periods where we looked good. Had it back to 10 points late on only to concede again.

See the result last night. Adelaide 4 MacArthur 5

[SB]

And the Roosters beating the Panthers at home!

Yeah we flew over the stadium last night & just saw the result now that I’ve got wifi. Huge turnaround from last weeks Roosters result

[peterbread]

Just saw that result. Everyone had written them off for the season already and then they beat the panthers.

[Sus]

Some crazy results

Broncos by 50-14
Storm by 56-18
Manly by 42-12

And the Roosters beating the Panthers at home!

Wow. With what they’re paying Ponga as well they better hope they both stay fit and deliver the goods and quickly.

That’s a big gamble considering he’s not even one of the elites. I know he’s still young and unless you’re Cleary most halves nowadays don’t really consistently deliver until much later in their careers. Didn’t he also had some off field issues recently, can’t remember what exactly. Hopefully it wasn’t bathroom related like Ponga and his teammate

I can’t remember any issues but don’t trust my memory on that. Yeah it’s a huge risk, 10 years on that sort of money is crazy hey.
