NRL 2023 Match Thread - Round 2

[Sports Prophet]

Small looking crowd for the Dragons tonight against an interstate team for a late Sunday night kick off. 

Still, not a great crowd for a season opener. Are you down at the game @The Rocket? I’ve just tuned in and 26-12 looks to be a good start to the season

Yes, I was a little bit down when the Titans took an early lead, feeling much better now thanks.

How good are the dragons ? 4 points and they’ve only played one game . One thing the games today highlighted is I think to many NRL games have way to much ref involvement . Penalties and restarts are off the scale 

[Graham]

Lowlight of the round was just how poor Melbourne were.

They were rudderless and short of attacking threat. 

Credit to Bulldogs who took full advantage.

Saifiti’s red card was like a throwback to the 80s , that looked brutal

Something new from the NRL. They are showing the Broncos-Cows game in full on their YT channel. They are currently 27 minutes into the game.

They upload every full match onto the YouTube channel during the following week. They have done for a few years now.

Aha! I'd never noticed the full matches, just the highlights. I've got Kayo so I get all the replays and highlights on demand and so I haven't used YT for NRL-watching.

I catch the full matches on YouTube. Will be spending my free time tomorrow and Wednesday watching as many as possible back-to-back.

I find it strange that they're awarding points for a bye. Why do they need to add points?
