Can Penrith get up the NRL Ladder

The Penrith Panthers have tried everything in the search of better NRL Results. Their coach Matt Elliott has employed Rugby League referee's, wrestling coaches and NRL Toyota cup kids to try and get his team winning.

But training and on-field Rugby League success are two different things. The Panthers have trouble with discipline and this has continued in 2008. Will they leaving their winning run too long? Can they get it together before the season slips away? Coach Matt Elliott has plenty on his hands and the signing of Petero Civoniceva alone won't get the Panthers on top of the ladder. They need a hell of a lot more, nobody's sure what though!

NRL Table Turned on Head

The NRL Table is getting hard to pick for the 2008 season, as Round 2 got underway last night, the South Sydney Rabbitohs who last year snuck into the Top 8 - were forced to an 0-2 record - their NRL Results taking a beating at the hands of the Bulldogs who played some nice footy to get their Rugby League year back on track and keep coach Steve Folkes safe for another week at least.

Brisbane and Sydney in NRL clash

In an exciting NRL clash for Round 2, the Sydney Roosters come face to face with Rugby League arch-rivals the Brisbane Broncos. Both sides looking sharp in Round 1, having wins over solid opposing teams.

Naturally NRL Results will be the first quest for them and then preserving players and ensuring no injuries are received in what should be a blockbuster.

NRL Results come in

The first round of NRL Results is now in, from Round 1, 2008 of the new Rugby League season. Crowd attendances and figures were also healthy as the public came out in droves to watch and cheer on their NRL teams.

While so usual big name sides had wins, other footy sides such as the Newcastle Knights, the Cronulla Sharks and the Gold Coast Titans had nice upset victories and the major upset was the Sydney Roosters accounting for the South Sydney side that was such a strong force in 2007.

Injuries have hit clubs hard already after only 1 round, with several players including Benji Marshall, Sonny Bill Williams and Steve Price shot down in the first match of the year - depth proving to be oh so important in Rugby League these days.
