Did storm get beaten again ???

Melbourne 2nd place 10 - 12 penrith 14th place

What a wonderful competition us NRL fans have................ =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Common now eels, don't steel Beaussie's thunder, he like to give a wrap up of the NRL results. Shame he does it with one eye closed.

Here you go Beaussie, Eels has given you a start, I will help you out a little more:
- Eels, I would suggest Penrith were equal last when they beat the Storm
- Tigers continue to struggle, however were in it at half time, 6 all
- Warriors lost after being run down by the bulldogs in the second half
- Canberra get into the 8 after smashing 5th placed Newcastle ( I am sure I advise you AFL knumbskulls when you were bagging the raiders a couple of weeks ago that they would come good as they always start the season slow)
- Parramatta removed themselves from equal last after a good win over 8th placed Broncos
- 6th placed Titans at home, just got over the line with a late field goal over 13th placed Dragons

One game left Beaussie, you can close out the round if you like. Should be a ripper. Manly 3rd v Roosters 4th

On the flip side, the AFL results are out too, plenty of surprises there, not. How predictable they are:
1st beat 2nd, now someone had to win and Geelong did so by 30 odd points
7th Richmond Convincingly beat 4th Port
11th WC beat 14th Brisbane
12th NM Destroyed 16th WB
3rd Haws beat 5th Sydney
6th Fre beat 8th Coll
9th Adel Destroyed 18th GWS
13th Destroyed 17th

Only two games were within 30 points differential, even then, they were 28 a piece my my my. Looks lie KE is right. There is a destinct divide in this comp.

Well, well, well. Surprise it is from Phelpsy, getting a carve up, so lets twist the words to suit ourselves.
Lets not try and twist my words.i never even mentioned the sharks. I started with the tigers are struggling , however were in it at half time at 6 all. Completely different to brisbane being beaten and beaten well on there home =D> ground

Can the pot get any blacker there pieman or maybe i should take a leaf out of your book and replace the raw facts with ridiculous theories. Will that work for you sonny jim.

Seriously, i reckon my 8 year old could come up with a much more intelligent response than you did. Just accept ke is right. Your comp predictable. Nrl competitive, the quicker you get that in your pea brain, the quicker people might start taken you serious, rather than the piss from you

You have no idea on AFL mate. Comments like "Destroyed" in matches that were close for most of the game, just shows a lack of understanding. I dont know why you bother,because in the end what you did was exactly what I did but with no facts to back up your opinion (unlike me )
Here let me give you an example:
Raiders V Knights 44 to 14 is similar to the GWS game. "Destroyed"
Sharks V Tigers 30 to 6 is much worse then any AFL game this weekend (statistically)"annihilated"

Is it true? Statistically yes. The rest is just opinion. What you gave was opinion not fact.
Here you are going pot kettle with me when thats exactly what you have done. Get with the program, this is an anti AFL thread, so when I point out that AFL in some ways is a much more competative sport all I am doing is hitting back at false statements by others. Yet you seam to be the one getting upset. You are going on about us having no idea about NRL and then you pretend you know something about AFL, talk about a hyporite. Again no idea.

And yet points for and against, essentially the only real way to compare due to it being the scoring system, the West tigers are the worst team out of the lot. Eels ignorance always brings a smile. :D

[King-Eliagh]

The only real way to assess this is not what pies recommends. No, that's not how to do it.

One must assess whether the teams are 'competitive'. Sorry but the lions, gws, bulldogs, Gc and melb simply cant compete with every other AFL team. They cant even come close to competing. Just watch their matches. Unless they are playing against eachother its a deadset snorefest. The commentators of these matches sound like they're ready to put a gun to their heads the poor bastards.

To suggest that the 30-6 tigers scoreline is worse than the thumping gws received on the weekend highlights the ignorance of pies and his reliance on numbers to tell him how competitive a team is. Sorry pies but you're just plain wrong ol mate. Just plain wrong. I watch both codes and I'm right...as usual.

Now its high time we get some options back on the table for this thread. What do people think about teams in the basketcase league getting to hand pick 5 players each from the entire player base? It could be run like a lottery/draft picking situation at the end of this season. Just plucking players willy nilly? I know its far fetched and quite immoral but it'd even things up a bit right?

GWS has been competative in quite a few of their matches. Against the Swans, Essendon and Melbourne they were highly competative and had these matches finished at the 80 minute mark they would have won at least 2 of their 6 matches. Unfortunately the way you analyse is just opinion and to top it off your only recommendation is to boot teams. This just highlights your lack of understanding.
When I suggested that the 30 to 6 score line for the wests game was worse then the GWS game (it is statistically) I did so to highlight the ignorance of RL posters. I watched this game to some extent and i know that wests led this game for at least the first 20 minutes and although I found the game quite boring ( it was pretty much a cripple match with two poor teams) it was competative for large portions. The thing is that norths match against the bulldogs was even more competative with the scores deadlocked until late in the third, yet Dogs described it in his ignorance as one team "destroyed" the other.
Now the draft is the perfect system for sorting out any issues with poorly competative teams and it speaks for itself when it shows the most varied amount of different winners and runners up in the land. It makes RL look bad, with the amount of times news limited teams have won the premiership.
Anyway enough sense on this thread. Take over KE and Eels back to the trolling.

Here you go guys, an option for a lopsided competition.............

AFL clubs consider wildcard finals round and US-style conference system in possible fixture tweaks

However this comment from a fan stood out the most for me..........

Silas Bjerre of Denmark says… Today at 1:22 AM

Don't bring in a conference system. You only do that when you realise that your league is a joke.

Could not agree more Denmark.............. =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

[Beaussie]

South Sydney 54 def Wests Tigers 10

Brisbane 32 def Gold Coast 6

Friday night NRL matches of the round apparently. Talk about lopsided. What should the NRL do RL folk. It's embarrassing.

[Stewie]

What an upset win by Brisbane today! Also, Gold Coast now 4 wins and 4 losses. KE's so called "basket case" teams! LOL.
