Bring back the biting lol

Jack Bighton 😬

I’m so gutted for Papenhyuzen I can’t even celebrate this win right now 😒. Confirmed same injury as Yow Yeh and we all know how that ended. Absolutely brutal, he did not deserve that after what he has been through.

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I hate the storms but like paps. Hate the fact he came back only to get injured again. I don't want him to retire, same way I don't want turbo to retire, but why would he come back?

It can be an absolute cruel game to some of the best players.

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Uh oh, it's To'o!

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Broncs 8-0 at halftime.

Fair enough scoreline. Broncos did have one really promising attack that they messed up.

idk why you wouldn't get some early ball to Staggs. I think he only got the ball twice that half.

Flegler with the dick fingers. Reckon his long term Fox League sponsorship is safe.

Ahaha, now we've got a dual storms ko. What a nightmare.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Jeebus that 2 player Melbourne head clash was brutal

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

No-one wanted to tackle him because he's a ponga...

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Hughes with a huge kick and...

No chasers.

No heart from the storms tonight.

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Anyone vs the storms is an instant bandwagon hop for me.

Brisbane bullying the storms around the park, can only hope for a big scoreline against them (not 40-0 tho, that is sacred).

He lost ALL the ligaments 😞

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Looks like he's waiting for a bus while they pull their finger out on the medicab.

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So despite the confirmation last night of a broken ankle and compound fracture it actually wasn’t a compound fracture which is HUGE news. Last I saw they were doing the surgery and would then confirm if it was an ankle break or just a straight tibia/fibula break, with the latter being preferable as it would have a much lower chance of being a career ender. Fingers crossed!

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Saw they were expecting him to be training at the beginning of next year!

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Fantastic turn of events! Looks like it’s just a broken fibula- pretty much the absolute best case scenario!

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lil sparkle eyes over. Gotta love it!

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Love some of those crowd shots more...

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Great game from both teams in the wet.

Respect to the Broncos defence. Melbourne never looked like scoring. Broncos well deserved winners.

But holy hell, that last 10 minutes or so of Melbourne injuries... I hate Melbourne, but no, not like this....☹️

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Yeh I can’t remember a worse 10 minutes of injuries ever tbh. Coates was in a world of hurt, that head clash was one of the most brutal I’ve ever seen (how one of them managed to get up and stay on the field before going off 10 minutes later is amazing, the ref should have sent him straight away for an HIA), and then Papi going down like that. Just terrible.

I’m a Broncos diehard but I like the storm as they’re basically another QLD team, so that end just took all the wind out of my jovial sails.

Broncos going to definitely have to fix their errors if they want to beat Penrith though. Walsh made a couple of unforgivable ones in the 2 play the ball errors. Also his insistence to challenge the first one was bad. You could tell Reynolds didn’t want to but Walsh convinced him. Terrible call by Walsh.

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

That knights v raiders game was a cracker. Did not like the penalty goal to win it but what can you do, it's the NRL and they're gonna do that every now and then unfortunately.

looks like ol' Fighton is gonna be sitting out a few weeks for Souths. Can't believe he didn't get sent off, he even admitted to biting him when talking to the ref!

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Knights have flipped the switch.

Hard to see the Raiders holding out now

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

No, not Papy!

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Oh no. Paps with a broken ankle?

[–] _ed@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Broncos,Warriors,Sharks,Knights. - (hopes not predictions) looking forward to it.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Roosters having to defend too much. Gonna be out of gas later...

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not too impressed with Walters so far...

Edit: and he pulls off a nice kick that leads to a penalty. You're welcome, Broncos! πŸ˜€

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Walsh. Too slippery in the wet!

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Bit of dirty dancing there!

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Carrigan searching for a staple gun. Putting some serious respect on the man bun tonight.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Melbourne's only chance to score seems to be from a kick....

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Not if NAS keeps doing that

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Bellyache upset that Walsh is stealing Studs Out Slater's signature move.

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

When he remembers just how big he is, he's a machine.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

This is madness. I was saying 5 minutes ago, it'd be better for both teams to just agree to end the game

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

The worst thing about sports is injuries. I always wanna see the best playing the best. Fans are robbed!

[–] Juggs@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately I think he has as much chance of playing next week as he does ever playing again. Devastating.

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Didn’t think I’d be cheering for the panthers but I’d rather they win now so we can play them in a grand final rather than the prelim. Then winning today gives us a much easier path to the grand final.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Broncos, Panthers, Roosters, Knights are my totally unbiased picks πŸ˜€

[–] abhibeckert@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm only going to watch the Sharks v Roosters game. Seems like the only one where the result is up in the air.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Broncos v Storm is a bit uncertain. Only because Melbourne has some strange voodoo hold on the Broncos. I suspect Bellamy sold his soul to the devil and is a secret master of the dark arts. I hope the Broncos can yeet him into the cauldron of Lang Park to break the curse!

I liked watching the Broncos this year. They play good attacking footy, and Reece Walsh is a firecracker. And I hate the Storm. It will be an epic good vs evil battle for me 😎

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Neither of these teams look good enough to deserve to win, tbh

Roosters had some good possession later in the half, which might balance things out.

Not sure if the wind at the back of the Roosters for the 2nd half will make the difference

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Ugh, injuries take out Sualii and Manu. Teddy takes himself out for 10 minutes....

[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wow what a great finish to that game. gg all round.

Gutsy effort from the Raiders to get back into it.

That Newcastle crowd is gonna be rowdy tonight 😁

[–] No1@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Hang on for Haas!

[–] No1@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

When Staggs is on, he can't be stopped!
