Reason

and
#2740
for getting rid of giving free competition points for beating the bye:
Having 2 teams that have only played 1 game this season being top 4 at the end of Round 2 🤦♂️ that and the ladder won't be truly accurate until after the Rd 27 bye.
Please fix it
@NRL
A question for all my NRL friends and followers on here: if your team’s roster had to be completely wiped and you could only keep 5 players who would they be?
#NRL
There are a lot of takes out there about
#NRLMagicRound
, but for me I got the opportunity to watch Ponga, RTS and Munster do amazing things on the field in separate games, on the same day - lock me in for next year already! 🙌🙌
Recent meetings for the
#NRL
administration, probably
(except that implies they had someone in there capable of coming up with a sensible option in the first place)
“The worst season of rugby league blowouts in 86 years has forced the NRL to consider a rookie draft”
They’ll consider any idea except binning the one that helped create the worst season of rugby league blowouts in 86 years…
It's sad how many of the Panthers players supported May without hesitation in his Insta post. This article is a tough read but an important one for people to understand the victim's perspective (esp for those who ask how long May should have to keep dealing with negative replies)
I have always loved rugby league but its lack of regard for women and its abiding tolerance for the male players who mistreat them to the extent it lands them in court is absolutely the worst, most disheartening thing about the game.
@MattPNBL
Directing a homophobic slur to a straight person can't even come close to using a racial slur against the actual target race it offends.
Then you factor in Montoya's actual remorse and clean record vs Spencer's subsequent actions + 3 other contrary conduct charges... 🤦♂️
As much as we may be frustrated at his prolonged/uncertain absence from our teams, please don't hassle this legend (or anybody else who is injured) for
#NRLSuperCoach
or
#NRLFantasy
purposes!!!
He wants to be out there playing footy more than anyone else does!
Maybe if the Storm had let Harry Grant, Christian Welch and Ryan Papenhuyzen walk instead of the soon-to-be 34, 32 and 30 year old forwards that they have actually let go...
Brandon Smith is the only loss of note and even then, you'd have to think a lot of that was on Cheese.
Is it weird that I was actually happier after seeing the Warriors fight and come back to win that game than watching my Broncos get to 5-0 this week?
Genuinely feels like the Warriors are my 2nd team now. What a W for them this week! Let's Gone Warriors!!!
@RugbyLeagueNews
What isn't in dispute though is that he admitted to be engaging in a threesome (irrespective of the consent aspect) while his pregnant partner was at home. I guess it's a question of whether you want your leaders and role models to be of moral character and integrity.
Please don't harass this poor guy - and if you value his insight enough to DM him rather than just waiting for him to tweet out like he does whenever he has info, then get behind him on Patreon!
Apologies to those asking about Nathan Cleary, I’ve received 400+ messages/Q’s about him in the past 3 days & it’s impossible to get to them. As always if you need something more in depth than posts on here, .
Posted 1400+ words covering everything I could
The most impressive part of this clip for me was not Ponga but the guy who chases him all the way from the Knights 40m and still tries a desperate dive in an attempt to hold up the ball.
Jai Arrow, what a player. Pick him QLD!

Big ooft. Surprised at that number considering I got on Twitter just to follow other amazing accounts for

#NRLSuperCoach
, and also try not go engagement farming 🤣
Thanks for all the fun and informative interactions, and looking forward to plenty more!
Obviously stoked by the Broncos win last night but let's appreciate the debut of Trent Peoples.
64 minutes, 11 runs for 110m (47 post contact), 24 tackles (2 missed), 1 linebreak, 1 tackle bust, 4 offloads
Just missing the try on debut but wow, what a start!
#thePeoplesChampion
100% on board with this.
@NZWarriors
have given up far more than any other club for the sake of keeping the comp going last year and also this year. It's the least the rest of the clubs could do.
Just saw Payne Haas out with his family at a park. Didn't approach him out of respect for his family time.
There was something extremely heartwarming about seeing this 1.94m, 117kg massive human on the swings, swinging away happily while giggling alongside his little girl 🥰
@BigOtrivia
Like him more and more actually.
Making noise between the first and second serves is extremely poor form from the crowd, he was right to call it out.
Craig Bellamy will be devastated that he will need to fix the Storm defence this week, after conceding their first try since the 29th minute of Round 7... 202 minutes ago

preseason prep, I passed over 3,000 followers. It's a bit crazy since I initially signed up to Twitter to follow
@WackosWhispers
for crucial late mail.
I'll continue to bring the usual gif game and Milford hot takes to all 🙌🙌
I try not to whinge but if Cleary gets a TS/LBA for that pass to Luai, and Yeo doesn't get one for that pass to Sorensen, I'm going to be thoroughly unimpressed
#NRLSuperCoach
The salt in the replies to this... smh
He wasn't the cleanest player but there's no denying his positive contributions to the game - on & off the field - vastly outweigh everything else.
RL would be poorer without having him be a part of it, so cheers for the memories Billy.
Dear
@billyslater
,
Congratulations on an outstanding career & thanks for everything you've done for the game.
You will forever be known as one of the greatest rugby league players to lace up the boots.
Enjoy retirement & spending more time with your family, we'll miss you! 🙌
Legitimately I would never have won

players as sending death threats, but I seriously hope no one that follows me has ever sent a death threat / abusive message to a player for a low SC score or whatever.
They deserve far better than that 🤦♂️
The sheer shortsightedness of the NRL in not embracing, fostering and developing fantasy sports, whether it be
#NRLFantasy
or
#NRLSuperCoach
or anything else. Whether you like fantasy sports or not, it's undeniable that it brings in hardcore fans who consume content like crazy.
Surely the
#NRL
are prioritising a way to get the Representative Round back into the 2023 calendar and beyond! It's been an amazing week of footy and it's actually sad to think that it's already been scrapped from next year.
C'mon PVL, give the fans what they actually want!
Like every other SuperCoach out there I've had my fair share of horrid
#NRLSuperCoach
takes, but this new SC Receipts account seems like it will only bring negativity to the community (just like the Fantasy Receipts account has done in the NFL fantasy landscape).
BREAKING: vision secured from the coaching facilities of Catfish's Champs this week, explains a lot about this week's sub-1000. The board have called an emergency meeting to consider the head coach's position moving forward.

Just wanted to say that I've done you all a favour and lowered my IQ by reading this already, and you'll all be better off not reading it.
The tl;dr version: someone who has absolutely no understanding of racism at all tries to weigh into this issue as 'stupidity' only.
Maybe I'm a bit late to the 'party' but it feels like the "awareness" he speaks of is more about not getting on the drink in public [because he might say or do things he shouldn't say or do publicly].
Not awareness of how his actions were obviously hurtful to the victim and...
Look SuperCoaches, I know trading the best hooker in the game who played for the Melbourne Storm to Jake Granville was a killer bye strategy move for me in 2016 but I couldn't recommend that trade to anybody in 2023
#NRLSuperCoach
Regardless of what the
#NRL
draw looks like, we'll have to navigate 3 byes per team (51 in total) across 27 rounds, 6 of those rounds featuring mid-week State of Origin games... sounds like heaven for overall
#NRLSuperCoach
players who can handle some old school bye planning!
I don't know who needs to hear this, but Kevin Naiqama is who the Roosters signed to replace Matt Ikuvalu, not to replace Brett Morris.
Joseph Suaalii takes that jersey as soon as he's fit and ready to go, which could happen quite early in the season.
#NRLSuperCoach
I think for my
#NRLSuperCoach
mental health I have to move heaven and hell to fit in Nicho Hynes for Rd 1, I'm getting massive FOMO watching him accumulate SC points and knowing they won't contribute to my preseason SC team 🤣🤣
@JasonNRL
The arrogance behind implying that other teams weren't preparing for a season that was just as long, and to admit that they chose not to put our their strongest 17 against their first two opponents 🙈
Piakura 80 mins on the left edge, scored a try.
Deine Mariner with 4 tries in his reserve grade debut.
Ezra Mam with 2 tries, to make it 15 tries in 12 reserve grade games.
Can't help but be excited for when these guys are ready to become regular first graders 🥵

Listen to "Dipping our toes into SuperCoach 2024" by SuperCoach Champions.
Been in and out of it today, was hoping this Paul Green news was just part of a fever dream but unfortunately not. Vale Paul Green.
Weird to feel a sense of loss for someone I never knew, so I can only imagine what his family and friends are going through right now 😭
... imagine that it has been far worse for some other people.
Long story short, I don't sense any of that sort of "awareness" from Teddy or anybody else involved, of how a "harmless" off-hand comment like that can impact someone and why it's actually a big deal.
/End rant 😅
New era? I guess it is kind of a big deal to beat the reigning 3-peat wooden spooners, already missing their star halfback and then losing their star fullback early, and their 1st choice hooker for second half...
Seen a fair bit out there about the "tough draw" for Turbo. To me, he's the "too obvious" replacement for Paps that SuperCoaches almost seem to be going out of their way to avoid.
I get on paper the upcoming teams look 'tough' based on points conceded, but it's time for a 🧵
Talk about a rollercoaster of a season 🤦♂️
I took some risks early on after a strong start that definitely backfired. Then had a rough few weeks where I missed lockouts etc.
Been able to right the ship a bit but still a long way to go this season!
