NRL NRL Round 6, 2024 Discussion

Storm looking ready to step up a gear.

Showing the dearth of props.
Loiero and Curran playing in the middle

Hughes was never trying to catch that ball. I thought they were trying to stop that!

Freakish plays aside, Melbourne look a little shaky in the middle to start this game. If only the dogs can hold onto the ball, this could be a good game.

Looking ok the Doggies but you need more than your best against this mob.

and you certainly need to do better than 50% completion against this mob.

Storm so far offside but no 6 again for dogs, don't really care tbh don't like either of em

 

[tyrael]

What a dumb challenge

 

[Zarjaz]

why would you challenge that lol

 

[tyrael]

Dogs have a good team except their halves. Burton is good but not exceptional.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

just like the dogs vs bunnies game. Dogs dominating field posession but just don't have the creativity to take advantage of it. Sexton would make a world of difference for them. Hutchinson is not nrl quality.

 

[Canonball]

Mahoney always takes one too many steps - cramps his support

 

[Inruin]

Be interesting to see if the dogs hold out in the second half. Storm are a top team and if they can compete for the whole game against them will give the Dogs some confidence.

I am listening on ABC radio - I could be watching tv downstairs if i wanted to but I like radio sometimes. Hutchinson playing shit according to radio commentary.

I actually don't think they are as good as people think. They have a top 4 backline but they are clearly lacking a big middle or 2, especially given the absence of Nas. They've been lucky in their recent home games against us and the broncs, but it's only a matter of time before their weakness in the middle gets exposed. We were rolling through them easily when we got into our groove in rd 2.

Relying on the brilliance of a couple of guys

Maybe, they certainly look like they are more vulnerable than previous seasons, but they still beat us and the Broncos. Two top 4 sides from last year.

The foxes first try, he must be wondering why he moved to the poodles

but we had half our spine out (CNK and Egan) and Broncs had no Walsh and no Reynolds in the second half. Yet both sides essentially outplayed Melbourne in rounds 2 and 5 respectively.

Risky stuff from the dogs but thats what they need
