NRL Season 2020
It was an interesting round just gone. Some of the competition heavyweights barely got the job done...
The Roosters were exceptionally lucky to get away with a win against the Titans by 6. The Titans had a try disallowed and the Roosters were awarded one off a Tom Brady special forward pass.
The Raiders barely held on to beat the 13th placed Cowboys by 2 points.
The Eels were very lucky to get away with their 2 point win against the 16th placed Bulldogs as well.
The Panthers on the other hand looked red hot. I thought the Sea Eagles might trouble them, but they completely dismantled them.

What did everyone think of the ROosters vs Dragons games? Roosters just too organised. Can;t believe the Dragons kept letting those bombs hit the deck... Isn;t that rugby league 101... dont let the kick bounce?
Interesting;y they were mentioning the Roosters may be in "a heavy training load" in preparation for the finals. They went through a lean patch last season in late May/early June around round 12-14ish then won all but 1 of their last 8 games before finals. I understand that, and have heard teams doing this to make sure they are best prepared for finals... but this season its not like the Roosters are guaranteed top 4 so it would be a bit risky. Personally I think they are beatable this year come finals.

Foxx and Latrell got $ 50K fines for breaking Covid rules; Bennett - who is on Project Apollo and helped helped MAKE the rules gets a slap on the wrist. Disgraceful.

We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately
Agree, very soft penalty for Bennett.TC wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 4:30 pmFoxx and Latrell got $ 50K fines for breaking Covid rules; Bennett - who is on Project Apollo and helped helped MAKE the rules gets a slap on the wrist. Disgraceful.
