***Aussie Brahs.. Official NRL 2011 season thread!***

[FiLL]

FFFFFUUUUUUUU how do the Roosters lose to the doggies?

Also feel bad for Cherrington, Season over in preseason game for the second time in two years.

Only a trial match brah, I don't think they won many pre season games last year either

Also **** Dugan is going to be a good player this year after watching last night.

Yeah man, I said last year he was a huge talent and will be a star.

I also think that if Canberra can keep that current side together for a few more years they can become serious contenders for the premiership. (provided they can play as good away as they do at home haha)

To bad he is an *******, He played Juniors a few years above me, He is as bad as Carney was before he got his act together at the roosters. Carney was a ****ing prick though, I saw him get his ass beat outside mooseheads for kicking a car door in a parking lot.

Raiders have a fortress at home.

Seriously, Its like a different country and the support is so one sided, its a totally unique experience. Its so loud compared to every other stadium, All these bogan fans and its so bitterly cold its draining, The turf is really hard that it feels like concrete after 60 minutes.

They will never be premiership contenders though, Just can't attract talent to Canberra (i have a mad soft spot for them living here)

NRL all stars won fairly convincingly but it shows how much talent the indigenous all stars have to even be able to contend with a team that is almost all australian reps. also they were missing thaiday, inglis and cambell and all three of those guys are easily in the best 13.
for comparison in AFL the indigenous all stars team would play against an AFL team and it'd be a heaps close game but if they played against an all-australian team they'd get thrashed. makes you appreciate how good indigenous players actually are.

I went to the Knights vs Fiji match today at Energy Australia stadium. Was quite the joke with the knights winning 72 to nill - Fiji had a chance to get on the score board but missed a penalty kick from 20metres out. Felt bad for them :\

Loooooking forward to the season.

Green Machine brah, they once were the heavy weights of the comp..

But yeah hard to keep the talent they have down there which is a shame.

Da phuck a trial match against Fiji

Todd Carney caught for another DUI FFFFFUUUUUUUUU.

Roosters saying they are standing by him, but you have to think this really is a last chance for his career. He would have to be the stupidest person in the world to throw that away.

Him and Pearce really could be the best halves combination ever if they finish their careers together. Two most talented players who have come through in the last few years.

[FiLL]

^^ Yeah they never learn brah.


Dragons won the world club challenge early this morning, 21-15

Without Bennet and in English conditions, they really are a good side.

Roosters haven't won a trial game yet.

I mean losing to the Doggies and the West Tigers is a bit of a worry, And round one we face a team that really has recruited well.

Gonna be one hell of a season.

[FiLL]

^ Didn't win a trial game last year either, or not many brah haha. I'm not worried.

i was just reading this thread and found it ironic how you only just mentioned Carney being a troublemaker b4 and then a week later he's in the headlines again for making another mistake. I doubt he'll get dropped though coz he can play. When you got his level of skill you'd need to do something like be imprisoned before you stop getting chances.
Any1 playing NRL dreamteam this year?

yeah he is, groin didn't pull up as well as he thought

4. Hodges

Didn't he re-injure himself in the trials again, or is he ok to play?

[FiLL]

Footy show is back on tonight. Hope its better then last year

[bamava]

He will never change, There were rumours awhile back of a few incidents that were kept quiet, other people taking the blame. Lots of fights.

But as a Roosters supporter, I'm ok with that lol. I wouldn't be suprised though, if he didn't last out his contract.

So psyched for Roosters vs Bunnies.

Going to be one hell of a season opener.

[FunSize1990]

3 so far. lol. come on guise!

Good seeing the Cowboys get a win last night.

That 20 minute lapse from the Roosters wasn't a good sign, hopefully its just early season rust and they don't continue to do that in other games, good performance from them though for round 1, Pearce's kicking game was looking sick.


Oh also forgot to mention guys, lets not post spoilers in this thread since NSW and QLD watch diff games at diff times.

Yeah, Ambiguous comments aren't so bad but lets not post any results.

That period from the 51st minute to the 72nd was definitely not a good sign, but the fact when we needed a big play, we found it with pretty much no effort was a great sign.

Definitely some impressive youngsters who i can't even name yet that had big games.

Lol they did that pretty much all of last season, it's how they play it can either click and be amazing or fall into a heap. Their unpredictability makes them so good but so it's hard to tell them to maintain structure the whole game.

[Deapht]

sigh, broncos of to ****ty start. not the team they use to be, they will be fuked even more if lockyer gets injured again

The red head Tom Symonds is a big talent, was injured early last year, hope he stays injury free this year. Had a good game

Yeah, they sort of got it together towards the end of last year though and didn't lapse as much, its just a worrying sign its still here in Round 1, or it could be a good sign, get it out of the way early ahah.

They were dominant the rest of the game though imo.

They have some good youngsters brah, will take some time for them to click I think, in a rebuilding phase the Broncos.


On another note, Parra looked really good last night, very solid performance, the question with them is if they can keep it up though
