NRL Week 2 wrap up
Before I start, I'm slightly nervous about the future of the NRL. For two reasons basically. Firstly, their isn't a shit load of really good Aussie talent coming through into the competition. Secondly their are increasing numbers of NZ born and trained players coming into the competition, but league numbers in NZ are plummeting. They have nearly halved in the past few seasons thanks to that awesome organisation of fucken dumbo morons known as the NZRL. Anyway...
Cowboys 43 Roosters 6 (21396) ****
Dragons 12 Newcastle 16 (12,326)**
Penrith 40 Bulldogs 10 (16,652)*** Put this result in our What the Fuck?! Category
Souths 31 Parramatta 6 (15,165)***
Raiders 16 Melbourne 32 (9556) **
Titans 18 Cronulla 16 (17,946)****
New Zealand 24 Brisbane 14 (16,700)***
Tigers 8 Manly 19 (15,185)***
This weeks games further confirms that the Warriors WILL make the playoffs. There are so many mud sides in the comp this year. The Titans have weakened a few teams with their buys but not the likes of the Warriors who lost no players to them and in fact the Warriors are on the improve.
The Cowboys will piss in to the 8, the Broncos will make them but won't go near the title this year, the Storm will also walk in and may well go all the way. the radio commentators were suggesting on Sunday afternoon that the Warriors v Storm clash could be the clash come grand final day. I think it will be between the Storm, Warriors, Cowboys and Bulldogs. But there is plenty of water to pass under the bridge between now and then. The Bulldogs have had a pretty awful start to the year but you win competitions in September, not March.
Stat for the week. Nigel Vagana now has 133 tries in the NRL. Just 5 behind Phil Blake. Still 32 behind Andrew Ettinghausen though. Steve Price has now got himself 29 tries.
Oh, one other stat for all the freaks in the house. Out of the 38 points scored at Mt Smart in the weekend NZ players got........ none.
