Can't wait, finally we'll have a real halfback
Re: Official NRL 2012 Thread
What's up with how the other sports threads have been going for 5+ years but NRL needs a new one each year?

NRL fans can't count past one.

Re: Official NRL 2012 Thread
Our threads in one year count for 2 or 3 years worth of other sports. So it's deserving of a new thread each year.

Money-Bill to the Roosters. A POS person goes to a POS club. Fitting.

Re: Official NRL 2012 Thread
The Eels are also going after Beau Scott for 2013. If Hindy retires next season that would be a huge signing for them. Fuck I'd love for Penrith to get a player anywhere near the quality of SBW or Scott. We're always losing that sort of quality and replacing it with shit.

As if you'd want SBW. He's shown his true colours, I expect he'll walk out on the Roosters for bigger money eventually too. Scumbag.

Re: Official NRL 2012 Thread
I can't stand him as a person... but he's a high profile player and a signing like that would do a lot to improve our crowds and until he inevitably fucks us over improve the team aswell.
Also... bear in mind that our big signing for 2012 was Clint Newton. Topped off with Chris Armit, Cameron Ciraldo and former Panthers Junior Tia Kilifi and Geoff Daniela. IMO the best signings of that group are the former Panthers, and that's only because they're both still fairly young and have both shown promise in first grade.

I hope they get their $800,000/yr money's worth.

I liked Daniela before he left Penrith.
He'll probably only play a dozen games due to injury.I hope they get their $800,000/yr money's worth.

Well done westy on snagging the rights to the 2012 NRL thread.
It's so typical that SBW would go to the Roosters.

Re: Official NRL 2012 Thread
I think it's probably fair for Melbourne to start as favourites, simply because they don't have the questions hanging over their heads that just about every other team does -
Warriors - loads of talent but lost their coach
Manly - turmoil, lost their coach
Brisbane - no Lockyer
Knights - big personnel turnover and lots of pressure
Raiders - one-man team
Souths - epic underachievers
Roosters - don't appear to have the talent on-field
Bulldogs - probably a good bet for top 4 but I hate them so fuck them
Titans - should really improve and contend for the 8 again but who saw last year coming?
Dragons - big changes, losing the coach is huge
Cowboys - strangely were bad when Thurston came BACK last year. WTF?
Penrith - are a team likely to improve into the 8
Tigers - they all hate each other
Eels - they're the Eels, failure is inevitable
The only sure bet in my mind right now is QLD, but it's not exactly a leap saying that.

Yeah - another 12 months of bullshit thread titles. Yay. They're about as good as Ben Ikin's commentary.Madmya wrote:Well done westy on snagging the rights to the 2012 NRL thread.
Here's a suggestion: we run the Games Ranch NRL tipping comp again this year and the winner bags rights to start next season's thread.
Thoughts?

Although I will admit I've made a lot of thread title changes, mainly the ones about laughing at Brisbane

Last year's were pretty mild. Brisbane making the top four probably helped.

Re: Official NRL 2012 Thread
Canterbury and Gold Coast will be the biggest improvers.
Thurston was still carrying that injured knee even in the Four Nations.
I'm tempted to go to Sydney for Round 1 against Parramatta.

Is the Round 1 game at Parra Stadium? Good chance that will sell out early.
