JackieMoon Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The 2014 National Rugby League Season is starting out pretty good. Dragons as of now, are the team to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yes the NRL season is going to be a barn burner. I am partial to the South Sydney Rabbitohs...here's hoping they can turn things around. THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm hoping the Sea Eagles make it to the Grand Final again. The way the Roosters played in R2, they could very well repeat. Although, it was against the Eels lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictoriaGooner Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Some huge upsets this weekThat's an understatement What was biggest upset?Too bad that NRL fantasy rugby league folded here on the board...an NRL and Super Rugby fantasy leagues are needed on here in my opinion THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Appliance Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 That NRL Live Stream last year got me hooked. Too bad it isn't available in America for this season. Wiziwig.tv is a my go-to live streaming site, but the appeal of the NRL on livestream.com last year was the ability to play archived matches from the night before. Wiziwig.tv can let you watch every sports game going on in the world, but only while the game is being played. That Sri Lanka vs. Bangladesh match at 4am is only going to be available at 4am...In the NRL, I was partial to the Parramatta Eels, Penrith Panthers, and Canberra Raiders, but I think the only real question for determining NRL fandom is whether one supports the Roosters or Rabbitohs (...and everybody picks the Rabbitohs).Go Rabbitohs.

Virtual Appliance Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Melbourne Storm are playing Newcastle Knights, so obviously NRL newcomers/new fans are rooting for Melbourne. My prediction: in the impending argument about which NRL teams are better than others according to relatively new NRL fans, nobody will come to support or defend the North Queensland Cowboys. Yegh.

VictoriaGooner Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Agreed more people support the Rabbitohs than the Roosters.But what a match by the Panthers this past weekend...ran rampant! I normally watch all my NRL, Super Ruby, Aviva Premiership Rugby, Super League Rugby on Rogers Sportsnet World and wiziwig.tv THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Well I think the big upset, and I hate to say it was the Tigers over the Rabbitohs. I am hoping my favorite team (Sea Eagles) can pull out a victory against the Roosters this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I just don't see it happening with the Sea Eagles beating the Roosters. The Roosters look far too strong this season THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Appliance Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 The NRL has probably the longest, most grueling season for players.If a team can get a few wins at the beginning of the season, they could coast into the playoffs like Melbourne Storm did last year.

JackieMoon Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yeah, and some teams have already dug a huge ditch to get out of (Sharks). I know every team still has 21 games left, so it's anybody's guess who the other 4 will be. Being that the four powerhouses right now are the Roosters, Rabbitohs, Storm, and Sea Eagles. If the Dragons, Tigers, and Panthers can keep up their ways, they can be a threat down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I can actually see the Panthers get into the top four with problems. If they use this past weekend as a precursor and stepping stone they can move up the ladder. The Roosters, Rabbitohs, Sea Eagles are always favorites each year but NRL is getting more competitive each passing year.

JackieMoon Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Rabbitohs are off to a rough start. Looks like Noah will need to start paying more attention to his team and less time on Jimmy Fallon acting like Johnny Cash LOL.Sorry Gooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I watched that match last night and I couldn't believe how bad they played in the first half. No defensive tactics what so ever. They started to pull it back in the second half but it was too late because of the big lead by the Raiders. Here's hoping the Bunnies can turn it around starting round 5 THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Wow, two games into R5, and already 2 upsets! Bulldogs come off with a big win over the Roosters 9-8. While the Broncos fall to the Eels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The Eels had a surprising good match. But for the Bulldogs, from this whole first four rounds of NRL I didn't see that type of defense played by them and was surprised to see it. But in the end, the season is still early (R5), anything can happen...love the NRL THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
