With the RL season starting in a few days in Australia I thought I’d start the thread for all NRL related chat. Please try and keep it all in here because some of us watch the Thurs and Fri games on delay in the evenings and don’t wish to have stuff given away when they come on here to talk about Saints in the afternoon, etc. If you keep it all in here nobody can grumble, and anybody coming on to this thread does so knowing there are potential spoilers galore.
As for the season, reckon it could be a good one with Melbourne possibly dropping down into the pack, Penrith looking strong, Parra containing to improve and the usual suspects like the Roosters and Souths again knocking on the door. I’ll be interested to see if Justin can continue the good work he’s been doing on the Gold Coast and get them into the 8, which in year 2 would be a good achievement for him and them.
