The only way is up edition

NRL
>GAME 1
Cronulla Sharks v St George-Illawarra Dragons
7:50pm AEST on Fox, Kayo and Ch9
Sharks Stadium, Sydney
1.32-3.40
>The Sharks have dominated this derby fixture over the past six years, winning 11 of 12 against the Dragons. The Sharks are looking to find consistency after being comprehensively beaten 40-10 by the Warriors in their last start in Round 14. They have lost two of their last three matches. The Dragons are reeling from a 56-6 thrashing at the hands of the Dolphins. They will be desperate to restore some pride after a dismal performance. For the Sharks, winger Ronaldo Mulitalo makes a welcome return from suspension. Mawene Hiroti comes into the centres to replace the injured Kayal Iro. Forward Briton Nikora is set to celebrate a significant milestone, playing his 150th NRL game. The Dragons are impacted by State of Origin, with Valentine Holmes unavailable. Corey Allan steps in at centre. Tyrell Sloan returns to the wing to cover for the injured Christian Tuipulotu. The Sharks have a strong recent record over the Dragons, having won the last nine encounters. St. George Illawarra have not tasted victory at this stadium since 2018. Overall, Cronulla leads the head-to-head matchup 30-23. The Sharks, playing at home and boasting a superior recent record in this clash, will be hungry to atone for last week's loss. The Dragons' defence was non-existent against the Dolphins, and they face a monumental task to turn things around against a Sharks side welcoming back key players.
Sharks 1-12 3.05
Sharks 13+ 2.12
Dragons 1-12 4.40
Dragons 13+ 9.75
Sharks -10.5 1.94 Dragons +10.5 1.86

Sharks by 40

40 seems like a lot. More like 22

anime has ruined a generation

Luai confirmed in, Burton to remain 18th man

>>149131571

Bad choice, put Burton in, luai played burton on the weekend and burton was the far better player.
Burton has better kick game, better run game, and plays for the top team in the nrl.

>luai played burton on the weekend

Remember Burton swinging for the fences against Gagai? He didn't land one but boy he wanted to

>"It is what it is. We are disappointed for Mitch, but excited for Jartome." - via Fox League
Who is Jartome?

Just did a poo lads

>>149131816

Hmmm all my drinking is catching up with me. Burton outplayed Moses* so thats Burton straight in for me, luai just lost again vs a bottom of the ladder team.

>>149131571
So what the fuck is the point of having an “18th” man if you’re just going to call someone else in?

>>149132215

500% agree. Burton has been robbed.

*pretends to hate origin now that qld is going to lose and says it's because there's less footy during the week*

>>149132260
can't be robbed of something you never had

>500% agree. Burton has been robbed.

When did plebbit spacing infiltrate this poomunity

>>149132215
>>149132260
It's really not a big deal

>>149132399

>>149133101

Also this.

why is there no talk about flano vs his old club he got kicked out of for cheating with drugs?
Is the NRL trying to hope everybody forgot?

yeah bad look for the game so they dont bring it up

Trading in Isukko lads so expect him to get struck by lightning or something on Saturday.

1 hour 10 minutes to get 2 chicken snittys made and cooked before the footy ladies wish me luck

>>149133409

Can’t cook it in that time, you shouldn’t be in the kitchen.

Dan Atkinson moved to reserves Put the $2.5 I got back on this.

Sam Walker just broke his thumb at training and will miss another month.

>>149131571
Burton can cover more spots in the backline, makes sense to have him play #18. Sucks for the dogs though

Suli is on a try drought. Get on for ats

Genuinely pissed off lads
>leave for work this morning
>door soft closer thing shits it self for some reason
>okay whatever can replace it later
>get home tonight after working overtime again
>trying to open the fucking door in the cold and dark
>won't unlock
>fucking around with this fucking lock looking like the most retarded crook
>eventually opens somehow for reasons I don't know
>turn front door lights on now that the door is open and testing the lock to try and figure out what the problem is
>key then sheers off inside the lock
>internal latch can latch the door locked again but will not unlock so door is now permanently locked with broken key stuck in the lock
Fucking pissed about this shit and the trouble it's going to be to get it fucking replaced when I'm finally supposed to fucking get some holidays next week after working my fucking arse off with unpaid overtime every fucking day for months

>>149133526
all cooked eating now :D

>>149133906
hot glue gun will get that key out, or even maybe allow you to turn it

>gets me more hyped than a grape soda
what was fox league doing picking that song for their promo kek

>>149133906
Bunnings is open till 9. Time to get a new one, you’ll only need a screwdriver to swap it out. You’ll miss the footy though

A TRY ON DAYBOO

Its time for Hynes to put his crooked chompers on the line for a man of the match performance

Could not care less about these two teams, nor their manufactured rivalry

>>149133980
It’s what makes it the perfect Thursday night game

THESE PEEMS HATE EACH OTHER™

>>149133927
Gotta be careful with those though. There’s a lot of rules for using them
>>149133906
Search “hot glue rule 34” for the list of 34 safety rules

Swap Atkinson for Hynes anyday

Cannot wait to see the look on Slater's face when Queensland get fucked in the anus again and the first question he gets asked is about DCElite. Fuck this cunt, fuck Cameron Smith. Cannot let go of shit that happened over a decade ago. DCE = forever the Queenslanders scapegoat!

>>149134966
Kek

wonder if they will still do $5 tickets for dead rubber at homebush for origin

Why didn’t they drop the forwards that didn’t have a fucking go and show some mongrel, or their backs who didn’t take tough hit ups, wtf is DCE gonna do with the team going backwards

with any luck nsw can put 50 on us by just going through the middle
