Can the commentators honestly not see Egan jumping on his neck for the penalty?

The Warriors are a tough watch. Maybe these guys flying home will actually help them build a siege mentality team spirit? It can't be easy with some players going, some coming. I think those with young families who want to return should never have gone to Oz in the first place if they couldn't commit to the full season. There's no point blaming broken promises about families flying out etc. Nobody is in a position to give any promises about any international travel at the moment. I think it's amazing that the NRL has been up and running for all the weeks it has so far this year. Just hope it can continue. And I'll continue to watch Warriors games through my fingers.

Mate, that's an incredibly shit take if you think I'm leaving over rank. If cared as much as others do here about rank and bailed when it got tough i would have never made it over from Sportal. I have never been a top player and only have played for fun. Hence why every year i volunteer amongst the mods to run the lower leagues because shit like rank and that doesn't bother me. Last year I made it to L4 my highest league ever and i gave up my spot for Stuffness because he arrived late and I thought it was fair he had it.
The fun for the game is wearing out for me i haven't liked it since they reduced the squads but kept the trades the same and inflating prices making it impossible for new people to know what the fuck to do and stay around therefor not growing the game.
Like the game this forum is not fun anymore. I've tried but i am getting sick of seeing good posters leave and sick of reading the same thing every week every game.
"Oh good that player got injured thats really good for my team im glad his livelihood is possibly destroyed because my player now got 3 extra points"
"What is the coach thinking he averages 55mins but the coach only gave him 53 mins this is fucked"
"My player was injured IM SO UNLUCKY"
"Wheres his TS"
"Wheres his TA"
and the pages upon pages of tackle break discussion i don't think I've ever seen so much whinging for something we cant control
Frankly reading the same thing for like the 5th week in a row about Siebold was the final straw. I was going to quit after we came back from the break but i didn't want to let anyone in the leagues but there's no point now.
Oh and not that it matters but ironically i just hit my highest rank ever of 575.. So yeah I'm sure I'm not leaving because of "my rank"
Yeah fair call bud, I have always had a deep distaste for the general observation that someone backing down on their words is blatant cowardice, and I was raised to believe that it takes far more courage for a person to admit they were wrong. In light of this, I recant my statement about you leaving because of your rank and apologise. I was just looking to be hurtful for the sake of it, and in truth I had no idea how you were even faring when I issued the accusation. It was petty stuff and my spiel would have been better off without it.
As far as your issues with the forum, I can’t really say I have seen any uptick in those kinds of posts- people have always been squabbling over stats and lamenting their injuries. I came over from Sportal too, but I see these nostalgic glances for the older days as the same vibe most forums go through (anyone else on 4chan remember when /b was good?). If you arn’t enjoying your fantasy or the community here, then you obviously have to do what makes you happiest. You would be sorely missed around here as you are a very popular poster and, as mentioned already, a favourite of mine personally.
I really hope you stay. Or at least if you do go, you come back to us eventually. But I wouldn’t want it just to be just for our sakes. Sorry for the friction, I still love ya Fishies.

OK, here's the consistently test. If Lucy gets a LB for returning a kick for his second try yesterday, SJ should get one there.
*Edit* he did. Fair enough.

I think they might be different because lucys was from a drop out where a defensive line is set
Surprised SJ got one tbh

Brailey and Graham with more kick metres than SJ; an error or has SJ just not been kicking at all today due to the scoreline?

Sharks have barely had to kick out of their own end.

Sharks have had basically one kick from their own half which Townsend took. Actually there was one other one that SJ put into touch. Hardly any short kicks either because they keep scoring tries because they get to the last.

Not a good first 55 minutes of owning RTS but he only needs one big play to redeem himself so fingers crossed
