Do you think an NFL player could make it in the NRL?

>>65015156
I reckon Jarryd Hayne would make a good league player

>>65015156
Literally no rugby player could stop a prime Adrian Peterson

wh-where are all the SC autists?

>>65021128
When the season starts m8. I think in 2 weeks

>>65021128
/nrl/ activity will pick up when the 9s is on, which is in less than 3 weeks

be patient lad

Do the Eels make the 8 lads?

>>65015156

Well there was Manfred Moore.

>>65021431
Hoppa to dogs, Lafai to Dragons, Roberts to Broncos, Hiku to Panthers

wtf some of these are so random

>"I don't hate the Parramatta players, just the team they represent," said Jennings, whose comments will light the fuse ahead of Saturday's final trial match against the Eels at Centrebet Stadium. "If you come through the Penrith juniors, you're brought up to hate Parra. That's how I was brought up and I'm sure it's still going on."

>>65021195
The Titans will make it in before the Eels do m8.

Who /bandwagoningthewarriors/ this year?

>>65022085

Titans are battling the tigers for the spoon.

>>65022085
Warriors will not make the 8. Adding more coconuts, no matter how great they are will do nothing for them especially with Mcfadden at the helm. Luke is actually a shit defensive hooker too and that's the area where they need to improve most.

>>65021471
Also Walkbro and Taupau to Manly. Let's not forget Burgess to Souths

It's going to get better, right boys?

>>65022149
You just got big bad Tim Grant m80

Will we see the return of the ballplaying lock with the reduced interchange this year?

>>65022169
Only because we lost big Marty Taupau and Kieffy Galloway.

>>65022186

No. There aren't any decent ball playing locks going round at the moment. It's all about the third prop now.

>>65022238
He's at least an upgrade to Galloway

>>65022285
I'm just happy they didn't sign another fucking 18 year old to play a veteran's position.

>>65022331

Instead they signed a 32 year old Matt Ballin to play fuck knows where.

>>65022357
May as well have him handing out cold tinnies on the fucking hill at Leichhardt. Signing him was a panic decision by the board most likely.

>>65022357
Easily the worst signing this year

Also can we talk about how fucking retarded the Tigers are?

>Tell Robbie to go somewhere else or he'd play reserve grade, even though he did nothing wrong
>He doesn't wan't to
>They then sign Matt Ballin to replace him
>He eventually asks for a release
>After all this they finally find out that releasing him would cost a shit tonne of money
>Decide to not release him
>Now they're stuck with both him and Ballin

Jason Taylor is the worst coach of all time

>>65022494
>Tell Robbie to go somewhere else or he'd play reserve grade, even though he did nothing wrong

Farah's a cancer.

Tigers fan here.
Predicting the first game, fucking book this.

Ballin will play hooker against Warriors. Luke Brooks is suspended for a match so Taylor will go full fucking retard and play Farah at half-back.
After losing he'll say the boys played well and they'll be working hard to book in a good start to the season.

>thatsthejoke.jpeg

Seriously though, they're a fringe side at best.

Gordon is solid, but over the hill.

Ditto for Beau Scott, and as good as he is he's just one shining light in a sea of mediocrity (see last year's Knights)

I can't see Foran running a side by himself. Do the Eels even have anyone to pair him with?

Also there won't be a side in the comp who hasn't studied Memeradra over the off season. He won't be nearly as effective this year.

>>65022494
>>65022562
Farah and Galen have the same problem, they try to do too much even when it's at the expense of the team as a whole.

Plus doesn't Farah have a history of undermining the coaching staff? Isn't that why Potter got axed?

I can see why JT would want to get rid of him if that was the case.

>>65022720
>see last year's Knights
Beau Scott was terrible last year for the Knights

Post your team's top 17

>Plus doesn't Farah have a history of undermining the coaching staff? Isn't that why Potter got axed?

Yes. Farah hasn't got along with any coach since Tim Sheens who stroked his ego and threw him into the Australian side. When you've got a really young side like the tigers do, you can't afford to have a senior player like Farah undermining your coach.

>>65022979
That bench is fucking terrible

>>65023020

Pretty much. Not really expecting much from any of them besides Parcell. I was honestly having trouble remembering who hasn't been released to actually fill out the bench.

>>65023067
Liam Knight, Luke Burgess, Brenton Lawrence and Josh Starling

>>65023130

I'm expecting Lawrence to be relased and i thought Starling already had been released to the TItans. Can't see Knight starting the year.

>>65023130
>Lurgess
>ever playing first grade again

Jason Croker is going to play in the 9s lads

>>65023299
>le hard nosed geriatric forward
why

>>65023465

So Canberra can have three Crokers on the field at once.

Not an lels supporter, but this is how i'm presumming they will line up

>>65024133
Takarangi over Morgan lad

So it's basically confirmed Radradra isn't going to score many tries this year since Jennings won't pass the ball?

>>65024149
yeah.

its still not as good as a team I thought it would be though, still too many stopgaps

>>65022785

13. Surgess
14. Turgess
15. Turner
16. Clark
17. Carter

>>65024224
Dunno really, Its probable that foran will play on that left edge as well, so it might just even itself out

>>65024269

Well last year it was Norman giving the ball to Radradra at every opportunity that worked, so depends what they plan on doing with Foran. I can't see what they're gonna do for long range kicking with Norman and Foran in the halves.

We'll be at least 7th

>>65025542
Need more forwards, Pauli Pauli is on the books though which would be nice. 2016 is basically going to be a building year. We went from having the oldest side in the comp to one of the youngest in a matter of years, got to trial a few of them out, find out their best positions and spend a fuckload on forwards next offseason. I have absolute faith in Brown though.

I'm going to end myself within 4 years.
