NRL Round 22 Thread

[THE RED ROOSTER]

Games that are definately not a clayton's toss

West Tigers v South Sydney - Luke Brooks back for Wests and The man child for the Wabbits. - Have  I cursed Souffs withb the reverse malachi by tipping them as the dark hourse for the premiership.

Melbourne Storm v Paramatta Eels - Clash of the round in Victoria, Both sides depleted in the forwards though - One not to miss on Sky Sports Mix

Canberra Raiders v Newcastle Knights - Still not a lot of love being shown to the Knights on this forum. Only one tipser went with them v the Stom last week. They are not Origin affected and can score points. The Green Machine is at home though so will Ricky's Raiders rebound ?

St George-Illawarra v Manly Sea Eagles - A tough watch for Shane Flanagan with the incomimg SGI coach still contracted to the Silvertails. It's at the ' gong, SGI have Ben Hunt and Zak Lomax and while along with the rest of the forum the Manly result at Sharkies was a stunner. Can lightining strike twice, it will need to if Manly are to make the top eight. and Will Jason Saab motor away from the SGI defence to further annoy the SGI faithful as the man who demanded to be traded as he wanted to be near his home in Western Sydney and promptly went to the northern beaches.....

Good Luck with your tips

I assumed he was referring to the OZ slang claytons - a thing you're having when you're not having a thing. It comes from the old TV ads for Claytons non-alcoholic drink - the drink you have when you're not having a drink.

I hope he’ll put the sticks and anything else he’s demolished back together again.

The expression Clayton's toss is a slogan from a non-alcoholic drink called Clayton's, on sale in Australia quite a few years ago that was marketed as "the drink you have when you are not having a drink". So in Aussie vernacular, a Clayton's is anything that isn't quite genuine, not quite what it looks like, that doesn't quite fit the normal expectation.

In plainer English, In Cricet if you want to bat and they want to bowl at you, it's almost pointless tossing a coin or a bat-flip as the outcome is pre-determined. Hence NRL games that are  either evenly matched or potential upset's are anything but a Clayton's toss.

Posting about pre-ordained surely by now Uncle Nick is contempating a Bondi Bloodbath this offseason...

Players cut:

Late Mail: Luke Brooks (hamstring), Charlie Staines (illness) and David Nofoaluma (shoulder) are all expected to return. Shawn Blore (quad) is expected to come off the bench provided he proves his fitness after he was a late scratching last week.

 

Rabbitohs team: 1. Latrell Mitchell 2. Alex Johnston 3. Isaiah Tass 4. Campbell Graham 5. Taane Milne 6. Cody Walker 7. Lachlan Ilias 8. Jai Arrow 9. Damien Cook 10. Hame Sele 11.

Peter Mamouzelos 22. Dean Hawkins

Players cut:

Late Mail: Latrell Mitchell is set to return after finally overcoming a calf injury.

“He was very, very close to playing last week, but we made the decision to make sure we got that extra load into him to make sure he’s able to fire on all cylinders,” Rabbitohs coach Jason Demetriou said on Mitchell.

“The injury has been fine for a few weeks. It’s just been about being able to handle 80 minutes of footy. It’s not about getting out there and being able to play 20 minutes.

“You’ve got to prep your muscles to be able to handle the load over 80 minutes and then back up for another six weeks.

The last part of that half saw both teams chancing their arms with the ball being thrown about with abandon.

 No further points resulted though.

TIGERS 18 - 32 RABBITOHS

Tigers had a bit of a rally in that second half but in the end Souths produced a convincing win.

Mentioned in dispatches is Johston who scored a hat trick of tries for Souths.

For Tigers Koroisoi had a good game scoring a try, kicking a couple of goals and figuring well.

[Graham]

L Mitchell in his first game back from injury scored a creditable 74 Supercoach points, and that's before any adjustments are made.

Next up:

Great try early on from Russell.

Fantastic reach and touchdown in the corner.

No conversion.

He's nearly done it again but this time put it on the touchline.
