The first round of the 2021 NRL Season is now firmly in the books - and there were plenty of talking points to emerge! In this episode, we've dedicated almost 20 minutes to every match up from Round 1, highlighting the gamebreakers, what we liked and didn't like and what teams need to change to succeed or move closer to a Premiership
In this episode, we cover:
🕑 4:00 - Cameron Smith retirement. Was the timing selfish or just the way the cookie crumbled? And what's the go with those statues.
🕑 13:30 - Another Jake Friend concussion. Could this mean the end for his career? And how is concussions so prevalent to players at the Roosters?
🕑 18:20 - Fan Question Of The Week
🕑 21:00 - Storm v Rabbits. What a way to kick off the season!
🕑 35:45 - Knights v Dogs. A sloppy wet weather game. Not the start the Dogs were after, but some good signs for the Knights.
🕑 49:20 - Broncos v Eels. Almost the dream start for the Broncos. Almost.
🕑 1:04:20 - Warriors v Titans. The Titans hype train came to a screeching halt - while the AFB-led Warriors look the goods!
🕑 1:12:25 - Roosters v Sea Eagles. The Manly backline simply couldn't match the Roosters star studded outside backs - and the forwards didn't fare much better. What do Manly need to change?
🕑 1:20:40 - Panthers v Cowboys. The Penrith stay the season by keeping a clean sheet, while the Cowboys tried hard but fell very short.
🕑 1:28:20 - Raiders v Tigers. A slow start by the Raiders but their class prevailed in the end. Tigers showed a much improved defence, but with work to be done in attack.
🕑 1:43:00 - Dragons v Sharks. The local derby was tight until the final stages, with the Sharks coming out on top by the end as most expected.
