JohnM 6,993 Report post Posted August 5 Not just his players. It's been a revelation to watch so many NRL games each week. I think I've probably averaged 5 a week. These guys NEVER give up! 3 Quote Four legs good - two legs bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The NRL games are on first thing in the morning and so shouldn't clash. I was a bit sceptical of the NRL previously, but watching it to get my league fix during lockdown, now I'm hooked.

I don’t know why but I’ve looked at this weekend’s schedule and there’s only three games, unless I missing something Quote "Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice, socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality" - Mikhail Bakunin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curly perm 53 Report post Posted August 6 The drop in number of NRL games has hit me hard this week! I’m in mourning. I watched it prior to Covid but the option of all games has been brilliant to catch at least a few each week. The players can obviously learn from watching but any changes surely need to be led by coaches. Sounds like Smith is open to it, mentions that players will make mistakes etc. No relegation this year might help with trying out new stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
