NRL
>GAME 1
South Sydney Rabbitohs v St George-Illawarra Dragons
7:50pm AEST on Fox, Kayo and Ch9
Accor Stadium, Homebush
1.85-2.00
>Last time they met, Jamie Humphreys landed his first field goal when the Rabbitohs rallied to win 25-24. Accor Stadium hosts a Thursday night clash as two clubs out of finals contention battle for pride. The Rabbitohs are chasing a third consecutive win after gritty victories over the Titans (20-18) and Eels (20-16). The Dragons have lost three of their last five but showed immense resolve in a narrow 10-14 loss to the Warriors after losing three starting forwards to concussion. The Rabbitohs are boosted by the early return of prop Keaon Koloamatangi from an ankle injury, forcing a reshuffle that sees Tallis Duncan named at centre. Winger Alex Johnston needs just four more tries to break Ken Irvine's all-time premiership record of 212. The Dragons are decimated by injury, with forwards Jack de Belin, Hamish Stewart, and Hame Sele all sidelined under concussion protocols. Ben Murdoch-Masila starts at lock for his first NRL game of 2025. The Rabbitohs hold a slight edge in the NRL era, having won 22 of the 42 encounters between the two clubs, including seven of the past ten matchups. The most recent clash in Round 2 of this season was a thrilling 25-24 victory secured by a late field goal. This clash pits two injury-hit sides against each other, with the result hinging on which patched-up lineup can cope best.
Rabbitohs 1-12 2.95
Rabbitohs 13+ 4.00
Dragons 1-12 3.00
Dragons 13+ 4.40
Rabbitohs -1.5 1.96 Dragons +1.5 1.85

Thursday night. Pissing down rain. Lucky to get 6,000 to the game tonight. He probably will break the record tonight

>>150329758
Hope he fucking doesn't that will be an awful sight

>>150330097
If he got to 3 Wayne would probably take him off the field so he can try to break it in a fortnight

Steak salted and drying in the fridge

THE Bet

the OTHER bet.

>>150329758
crazy how hes achieved this while remaining a complete "who?"
not sure ive ever seen an actual highlight from the fella

>>150329758
Who?

>>150329758
>4 tries on an edge in the wet
don't see it, even against st merge

Scores 2 or 3 tonight and breaks it next week at Allianz. Fans run onto the field and fuck the pitch up in the process

You don't let them play at the stadium nobody can!

He’ll get dropped on his head tonight and never play again. Twopoo breaks the record next year.

The bet

Bookies love him

>>150334635
It was a really fast response

>>150332481
He's elite at staying in position and falling over the line and nothing else. It's a longevity/durability stat more than anything, I think what Tupou is doing at an older age is more impressive.

don't forget to do your tippies family I don't wanna see any blanks like last week xoxo

>>150335184
Poor GG&TNQC has been blank for months now :-(

Anyone want to play SC Finals?

THE BET

>>150332140
>>150332158
Solid. But wouldn’t pay much less to take Souths h2h instead of -1.5. Take the 1pt win off the table

AJ is an indigenous all-stars, international (pm's xiii), and test player (png). He probably would've played at least 2 or 3 years for city. He's a winger who can play fullback and clearly an elite try scorer and he's good under the high ball too and there's no shit in him

>>150336486
yeah im not convinced

You might be retarded, go see your GP

>>150329607 (OP)
>Winger Alex Johnston needs just four more tries to break Ken Irvine's all-time premiership record of 212
How many games have each played?

>international
>pm xiii & png
top kek

He’s a shitter who lucked out and played the bulk of his career for a good attacking side that near exclusively favoured his edge.

latrell carried him

Alex played for Australia in 2015, 5 years before Latrell arrived at South Sydney

>>150337022
Comparing them only on games played is like comparing Mahomes to Bradshaw. Different eras, very different games

souths actually the favourites...interesting...

>>150337166
Cazzies compare different eras all the time. Maybe not Bradshaw but certainly from the Marino era

>>150337166
Johnston right now is sort of a man out of time, he is an old-school winger who more or less stays on his wing, isn't great at taking yardage carries (which is almost essential for the modern-day winger) nor is he, or ever been, a speedster or tall/a great leaper/athletic in any remarkable sense. His kind has been more or less phased out of the game.

>>150337248
So basically the NRL's Ryan Hall?
Though tbf Hall was pretty good at taking those shit yardage carries

Souths by 69

>>150337259
All I remember Hall for here is never scoring a try in his entire tenure in the NRL. I think Josh Morris once had him on an overlap, too, but dummied and went and scored himself.

shit players don't get rep jumpers,
shit players don't get to stay in a team playing multiple gfs and making the prelim finals how many years in a row

>>150337022
bookmark this https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/

He’s not shit he’s just mid. Doesn’t hold a candle to actual elite wingers of his generation wingers like Brett Morris or JAC.

>>150337030
pm's xiii counts as international, playing test matches for png counts as tests. Try to learn something new every day

>>150337298
Neato. This'll be useful

>i feel like the club (canterbury) needs emotional support
- cooper cronk, 2025

>png
>a peem that needs to select literal reserve graders to fill their side
>i-its totally legitimate guise

I got nothing against AJ but the media and souffs fan’s insistence on dickriding him is so off putting. Nobody pretended Hazel El Masri was an elite winger when he broke the all time point scoring record.

>hazel
lel, meant Hazem obviously

Hazem played for Australia, NSW, and City

Sione Matautia played for Australia

Semi Radradra played for Australia

Anyway, what I'm seeing is Souths fans and others defending AJ from accusations of being a shit player. It helps if you can think beyond binary codes

Nobody is calling him shit, just average.

Has Kyle Flanagan played for Australia?

Alex Johnstone played for Indigenous Australia

AJ is above average, in his prime he'd play first grade for most teams maybe all of them I haven't thought about it that deeply

>>150337383
Meme one off selections and City/Country is meaningless. The point still stands that nobody then or now thinks he was an exceptional winger.

>>150337390
They literally only did this to remove Folau from the history books as the youngest ever Australian rep.

If he were in his prime in 2025 with the way the game is played now, he would not make most First Grade teams imo, wingers have a lot more responsibility than they did when he was starting out.

No he’s fucking average. Take your Rabbitoh Goggles off.

Everybody knows that true greatness is measured in points per game.

I’d put him in the same basket as Wolfman and James McManus

one poo
eleven converted tries
and a field goal, nil

>>150337437
Crowe is the GOAT centre and GOAT publican

Luke Burt > AJ

I miss the welcome to countrys lads

tipped bunnies tbqh

I failed again :(

What's the story with the socks?

stole em from the broncs

>>150337543
You tried m8

>>150337556
They want to bring back City v Country so repping the Country socks

What’s the attendance tonight

Leaving it blank is effectively a Dragons tip, which is probably what he wanted to to do but it just looks funnier this way.

>>150337568
ITT, maybe 12 people?

>tip poogans
>zero points
>don't tip
>get 1 point

>>150337577
I just ate 3 family pizzas so I count as two.

>>150337570
Unless the Dragons win

Dragons forwards are tired already

If poogans win he gets the point. That’s my understanding at least.

>>150077777
El-el-el-Ellie
Ja-ja-ja-Johnston
Oh Ellie Johnston you're as sexy as hell
Your super thick thighs they be ringin the bell
Crispy and juicy now you’re havin a snack
It’s super spicy
It’s an Ellie attaccccccccck!

BROKEN ARROW BROKEN ARROW

No tip should be no points

you can thank climate change for all these injuries. the wet, the increased humidity, all plays hell on muscles.

literally not Australia's fault

Souths and an empty stadium. They should be kicked from the comp.

they would have filled up allianz (souths home stadium)

The bottom three teams should be kicked from the comp

Bin him

DON'T TAKE THE POO

Bin him

>>150337645
I’d like to see the based 98m attempt at poo

this is one for the poorists

Tipped Poogans

Tipped Poobitohs

nice pass retard

Tipped a draw

poogans bros...

>Host try
Multi in shambles

THE HOST THAT BOASTS THE MOST!!!
BUNNIES!!!

THAT’S A TRY

>>150337693
T-R-Y

webm bro if you’re in that was some good souths fans

k I gotcha

funny if he just webm some empty seats

Why the fuck didn’t the Poogans put on Sloan? Do they like losing?

you’ll see empty seats don’t worry

Why is Duncan so scared of passing to AJ

johnston is never breaking that record with duncan as his inside man. dude is a ball hog, like a temu kotoni staggs.

Milkman detected

ow muh neck

Death to all divers

He scored two tries last week because parra were watching for the pass. Once dragons start doubling him he’ll slip it to AJ

THE LITTLE MAN

ANYONE SEEN GUTHO!?

JYE THE RABBIT GREY!

Based unselfish AJ

THEY WEAR THE RED AND GREEN

>>150337772
he's on a plane to pooper peeague

Tipped golden point

>>150337739
What software do you use for screen capture? Kayo seems to block mine

johnston won't break the record this year and will do it in an away game against the warriors in like round 3 and it will be so anticlimactic

We should all go to Poosters vs Souffs in two weeks in case he breaks the record.

>>150337795
have to turn off hardware acceleration/ graphics acceleration in your browser

come on AJ get a try already!

3 to go

>>150337743
Duncan is already twice the player Staggs will ever be

AJ TRY NOT FORWARD

Forward by a mile but we'll take it

210 BABY WITH A FORWARD PASS

>le catch and fall man
Also that was forward

he better not break the record at this near empty stadium

Flat pass

Crazy how far Brandon Smith has fallen. Won a premiership and was so good, Grant couldn't start. People would rightfully say Melbourne had the two best hookers in the game. Then poached by Roosters on huge dollars. Played for the two biggest clubs in the league. Now, he's at a pathetic small club, doesn't start, keeps getting injured, and is generally shit.

Fuck that was a mile foward and fucked me bet cunt

Cheese has been really good since he's come back actually I just think he wasn't a good for for the Roosters fast pace attack

>>150337887
Wasn't a good fit*

johnston is actually lucky he's an average winger. if he was elite he would've missed a bunch of games to origin and would be further away from the record

They're STILL showing Vegas shit man the Matty Johns show has fallen

Based whistling ad

>>150337805
Thanks m80

Didn't someone bet on the Tohs to win the spoon?

Johnston is on the same tier as someone like Hazem El Masri. Great clubman, did one thing better than everyone, would be a certain starter on just about any team but had some defensive weaknesses in their game which is why they didn't make many rep teams

didn't johnshit play one Origin game after huge outcry about racism, so daley picked him, then inglis embarrassed him and they never picked him again after getting exposed so hard?

Nathan Merritt m8

Is it just me or is it super weird that Andrew Johns gets a hard on every time there's a new super young half playing in the NRL?

>>150337963
It’s 2025 m8 there’s nothing weird about being a poof.

>>150337952
Your thinking of merrit

seriously though how shit is Belinda?

Saints would usually take a tactical poo

BIN BIN BIN??

>two biggest clubs
>not souths and broncos
opinion discarded

comeback posting looms

Sutton is soo hopeless

>>150337952
Daley gave him bad instructions which he followed and it didn’t look good, also there wasn’t any outcry about racism around him it was why wasn’t he getting a chance when the wingers that were getting picked weren’t good enough and he was leading try scorer year on year

*waves back at trell*

>Corey Allan on Johnstons Wing

He's going to be a good bloke again and let him get it

DUNCAN YOU CUNT AJ WAS RIGHT THERE

brandon smithopotamus

ME MATE

>>150337945
This

>>150338054
Yes yes, no way could it be Merrit's fault he got exposed.

The Merritt thing was so heart breaking he still hasn't mentally recovered from that. His interview with Denan is a tough listen

>>150338088
Look, it was a long time ago and I can’t remember whether he was told to jam in or stay out but he did what he was told and it didn’t work and Daley is a shit coach and hates Souths

The racism stuff was Choc saying Daley was on old legs and the selectors were racists. That was a long time ago

GET THAT INTO YA FLANNY

I genuinely did believe the NSWRL had some beef with Souths for a while. Every year they stack their team with players from the current premiers but didn't pick any Souths players when they won

>mundine
lol. Also, isn't Loz part abo? The racism angle never made sense to me.

>>150338136
We didn’t mind

Souths most boring team

Merrit was just like AJ: a solid but ultimately mid winger who profiteered from South's left edge and Loz got memed into picking him because he bagged a shit load of tires.

Reyno should’ve been picked for NSW a lot more during that QLD dominance period when they kept going for Pearce and whoever else

Merritt was a fucking elite support player it showed when he played fullback. I do wonder how his career would have changed if he played their more

>>150338154
>2015: Pearce 6 Hodkinson 7

Daley is a terrorist

the best players in the 2014 rabbitohs team where either queenslanders, kiwis or english. Reynolds dudded but nsw changed halfbacks heaps

Yeah 5/8 was a revolving door but Loz kept picking Piss. Bird, Galen and Farah too. We all fucking hated it.

Another potential AJ try lost, wtf Duncan

Reynolds was the only legit snub, Johnston maybe should have got a game ahead of Mcmanus or Hopoate

>celebrating your opponent's error when you're 4 scores down
Gutho is a special breed of stupid

Actually scratch that Sutton should have got a bench spot or something

Hoppa was pretty elite before he fucked off for his mormon mission.

>>150338194
Was a solid workhorse but really came back slow

Nice try

WE WANT 50

try?! looks like a success to me

Ward is pretty good so it looks like we don't need to bring Jayden Sullivan back

These St Merge nibbas going to get skunked eh?

>>150338183
McManus and Hopoate played in AJ's debut season. It was never going to happen then. And then after that he's competing with Tupou, Ferguson, Morris and JAC.

>>150338250
They were still a mathematical chance going in and they look tired all game and don’t seem to care

What was Ilias smiling about?

I’m wondering if Jye could dummy half

50 still on

ANYONE SEEN GUTHO

gutho more like cuckho cause he just got cucked lol

Nice tackle Gutho

NOT

>>150338290
With 3 tries by AJ

>Google this Hoppa dude to read about Mormon shit
>Accidentally get John Hopoate
>See long list of controversies
Fuck was his problem?

Dragons gotta be one of the toughest teams to follow

Not good enough to compete, not shit enough to consider a "rebuild". Just fucking mid with no way out

he had a finger in every pie

just did some napkin math and 50 is NOT possible

LMAO GUFFO YOU ABSOLUTE MONG

Gutho is so fucking washed
