What major rule confusion sparked backlash in the NRL?
G'day and welcome to Kentie Blitz, your daily hit of NRL news. We are back for a new week. Kentie, good weekend?
Yeah, good weekend. I had a bit of a trip away down the coast. It wasn't down the coast, it was inland a bit down Jindabyne. Oh, nice.
What insights were shared about Munster vs. Luai's performance?
Just to get away and... Recharge the batteries. Very good.
What are the expectations for teams heading into the finals?
You looking refreshed? Oh, mate, I'm not looking refreshed much at all these days, but I'm trying my best.
Well done. So some big news off the top. Tata Boyd, it looks, too, have re-signed with the Warriors for another three years.
Yeah, got a crowd in. interesting problem there at the Warriors isn't it he looks like he's extended three more years only last year Luke Metcalf extended I think three years as well but now I think well it's already been mooted that his management Metcalf's management is going to look at having a talk with the Warriors about where what's next because While he has said he is prepared to play 5-8, he has also articulated that his long-term plan is to play halfback and he wants to play halfback.
How has Manly's resurgence impacted their season?
Now, it looks like the Warriors have basically sat there and put them down on the table together and had a look at it and thought for what they're getting, the price they're getting Tanner Boyd for and what they're paying Luke Metcalf because he was at the top of the leaderboard of the Dalliams and all the rest of it and was exciting everybody when he extended. So he was right at the peak in the market when he extended. So it looks like they've sat down and they've said, well, okay, we need to prioritise here and they've gone Boyd's way. I think probably because he comes in a bit cheaper in the market.
It's a long shot, I know, but with Dearden out, Tanner Boyd. would be an option for Queensland.
What changes are being discussed for the Bulldogs' strategy?
I know it's a, it's a long shot.
It is a long shot. And look, everybody's talking about Sam Walker and look, I'm one of those that loves the way Sam Walker plays, but he's not a classical halfback in that sense. No, neither was Alfie though. No, I know that, I know that, but Alfie was a genius.
How did Annesley's explanation address the golden point controversy?
Yep. Uh, Sam Walker, where, you know, we've still yet to find out how good he can actually be. Uh, The thing that Alfie was able to do was he played his way and he took everybody with him. Alfie was able to dominate the team's personality, so to speak. Walker's still on his way to doing that. Now, Alfie, as you remember, when he first came in in origin, he had Wally outside of him, but he was able to work around that. I think Walker, it might start to count against him because it does seem to take a little bit of time, as we've seen with the Roosters, to get used to his style and how he plays. Now, Billy Slater might take that chance for Origin 1 and declare him for the series. Or he might go someone more classical like Tanner Boyd.
Fogarty, maybe. Well, Fogarty, yeah. Look, who knows which way they're going to go. There's going to be a little bit more said about that later this week, I think.
Yeah, we'll talk about that a bit later in the week. Let's talk about a few of the games on the weekend. Obviously, a great game in the nation's capital with Canberra. Yeah. Fantastic game there. Nathan Cleary, outstanding. And the Raiders really... got their way back into form.
Yeah, look, clearly just when the game was needed to be won, he won it for them, didn't he?
Mm-hmm.
So they just keep on trucking the Panthers. I thought the Raiders were very brave. They stayed with them as long as they could. They lost their way a little bit at the end. But given where they were even only a month ago, they're all over the shop. The Raiders have got Hudson Young back on the weekend. They've got Ethan Strange back on the weekend. So they've got players returning, but they're a long way out from the finals, from the playoff series at the moment. When you came in today, you were talking about how you were impressed with Ethan Sanders. Yeah, look, he just – look, three weeks ago, he looked flat and he looked like he needed a spell. He had a big start to the season. But as we've seen with rookies, rookies, the emotion of their making their debut and their early parts of their career can carry them through the first month or so.
