JackieMoon Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Big win for the Bunnies. Some good games again. Eels and Tigers have done a 180 from last season.The Wolfman is MIA. Didn't even play this Round. Been plagued with injuries all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictoriaGooner Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The Bunnies lose another close one this week...when will this lack of offense improve? Broncos and Sea Eagles picked up two points each on Thursday. It's shaping up to be a good Easter weekend in the NRL.

JackieMoon Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Sharks showed some life against the Roosters, but a no go. Here soon we could see Cronulla and Newcastle out of the playoff hunt (already). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieMoon Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Stewart leaves Sea Eagles at end of year for Bunnies, sucks.Meanwhile, the Eels have lost two games now do to their kickers being inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 It's the normal wheel of professional sports. Players leave clubs for a chance to win a premiership with a stronger club, and the Bunnies are a string club. THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 In Round 8 of the NRL, the Roosters, Warriors, Rabbitohs, Sharks, Cowboys and Bulldogs all picked up wins. The Rabbitohs and Sharks had to fight off the Broncos and Panthers (respectively) from stealing the points. The Bulldogs are ontop the ladder but Tigers, Sea Eagles and Titans still need to play tomorrow. All three clubs are two points behind the Bulldogs. My Bunnies are four points off the pace in a log jam for fifth place...Can you say competitive season? THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Roosters, Bunnies, and Warriors have big wins this week.Sea Eagles lose a close one to the Storm. With Jamie Lyon out of the lineup it cost them the game. Matai, although great on Tries, had trouble on Goals only scoring 1 of 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluggerplugger1 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I've been lightly following the NRL this season and I need to pick a team. I'm heavily leaning toward South Sydney because their kits are gorgeous and I like their name, but they seem like a team with a large following and I wouldn't want to be considered a glory hunter at all. However, I think I'll adopt them and see where they take me.(When it comes to international sports, I almost always choose teams based on their uniforms/logo package).

VictoriaGooner Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Well you couldnt pick a better club Luke...but I dont know how well the Bunnies will be doing this season. Hoping for another league title. THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMoon Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Awesome game for "my" Sea Eagles this weekend. Wow! Watched it all. Cherry-Evans nailed a drop kick in the final minutes. Although they should have whooped the Knights, they still came out 15-14. A win is a win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 The Bulldogs and Sea Eagles are running away with the league at the moment. My Bunnies are barely holding onto the final Grand Final Play-off berth. I am getting worried. Luckily we are playing the bottom feeding Sharks this weekend.But the big Rugby League news is the start of the State of Origin series. The 2014 State of Origin series will be the 32nd time the annual best-of-three series between the Queensland and New South Wales rugby league teams have played entirely under 'state of origin' rules (1980 and 1981 were only 1 game series). It will be the second series to be administered by the Australian Rugby League Commission which was created in a major restructure of the sport's administration in Australia. Originally, New South Wales were to host two home matches this year, however the ARLC Commission announced in November 2012 a new five-year cycle which would see Queensland instead host two home matches this year, as well as in 2017, the Blues to host two home matches in 2016 and the remaining match in 2015 to be hosted at a neutral venue. Former Canberra, Queensland and Australian captain Mal Meninga will continue on as coach of the Queensland side, which will seek to win the State of Origin series for a ninth consecutive time, having won the past eight editions dating back to 2006. New South Wales will be coached by former Canberra, NSW and Australia captain Laurie Daley for a second consecutive year. Game IMay 28 8pm AEST Queensland v New South Wales Suncorp StadiumBreaking usual tradition, the Queensland squad was announced before New South Wales. Changes to the team were largely minor with Matt Gillett earning his first promotion to the starting side to replace the injured Sam Thaiday in the second-row whilst Aidan Guerra from the Sydney Roosters makes his debut from the bench. The halves combination for New South Wales were once again modified, with Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs pairing Josh Reynolds and Trent Hodkinson (making his debut) replacing the Roosters and incumbent halves pairing of James Maloney and Mitchell Pearce. Pearce, who played in every game as halfback since the second match of the 2010 series and held the record for consecutive matches in the position, was omitted largely due to him being arrested at a Sydney nightclub for drunken misbehaviour. After missing out from the second and third games from last year due to injury, Jarryd Hayne returned to the side to reclaim his fullback role over Josh Dugan. Daniel Tupou will be the second debutant in the side to partner his Roosters teammate Michael Jennings on the left edge, with Brett Morris switching to the other side to be alongside his twin brother Josh. Beau Scott was recalled into the side in the starting second-row after being overlooked from last year's series. Joining the bench, fellow forward Tony Williams was also recalled due to improved form and likely combinations with his club teammate halves. Notable forced omissions from the squad were Greg Bird (suspension), Andrew Fifita (injury) and Boyd Cordner (injury).

VictoriaGooner Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Souths made the Grand Final!! Bunnies-Bulldogs...anyone have any insight on how that game should go? #3 v. #7, that can't be very common, right?Live from the ANZNo 3 v 7 is not common in NRL. But I can see the Bunnies taking this match, it will be close throughout to the final 15 minutes. The Bunnies have the strongest within the last quarter of the game. Unfortunately Rabbitohs hooker Issac Luke is facing the possibility of missing the 2014 NRL Telstra Premiership grand final, slapped with a grade one dangerous throw charge by the NRL match review committee.

There really wasn't any doubt from opening whistle!

pluggerplugger1 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I've been following the Rabbitohs relatively closely (I follow their Instagram and Twitter accounts, so I usually just look for updates after game dates) since about halfway through the season, and I have to say, what a performance that was!! The game was really much closer than the score would indicate. I knew of South's long drought - Gooner (or anyone), could you help compare that drought ending to an American team's drought?? I'm trying to compare for reference so I can truly grasp how big this was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to compare for reference so I can truly grasp how big this was.Luke, the match was close at half time with the Bunnies being up 6-0 but the second half truly belonged to South. This was the Bunnies 21st NRL Premiers title but the first in 43 years. So for a comparison, the Toronto Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup in 1966/67. The Leafs are now in a drought for 47 years. Another comparison is the Chicago Cubs. It has been 106 years since they last won the World Series in 1908. So really this is a massive result for the Rabbitohs. Great to see the huge massive support out last night in the stands, including Russell Crowe (a life long Bunnies supporter).
