The NRL Finals Series - 2023

[Eagle 1]

Likely results?

Week 2
Storm beat Roosters in Melbourne
Warriors beat Knights in Auckland (assuming Johnson plays)

Week 3
Panthers beat Storm
Broncos beat Warriors

Week 4
Panthers beat Broncos in low scoring GF

Who ever plays Penrith and Broncs, they'll be batterd and bruised with floodgates wide open in the 2nd half.

I wonder who's going to be paying for Jack Bighton's Judiciary trip?
Surely the Raiders don't give a fuk whether he gets off or not, considering he'll be a bunny next year? Do the Bunnies foot the bill for his defence?

It would still be up to Canberra. If they refused to support him, that would be a very bad look in the eyes of their current roster and for any player contemplating a move to the Raiders.

He's still contracted to Canberra until Nov 1 I think is the date.

But Souffs might want to get involved in the defence and say he's ours, how could he possibly leave teef marks without teef?

Is a bite even a send off offense?

Yes.

 

[HoldenV8]

One thing that stood out to me was that Gamble complained to the ref and said he was bitten but neither he or any of his teammates took that much offence to it to go after Wighton.
Surely if he thought it was intentional he'd want a piece of him, wouldn't he?
Didn't even give him a gobful.
It was all very matter of fact, does that lend any weight to Wighton's defence?

I noticed that too that none of Gamble's team mates took issue with Wighton over it.

Maybe it takes a high tackle or a punch to get forwards revved up?? lol

It wasn't a full on flare up situation like a high tackle or a punch thrown. Funnily enough I can't recall many fights breaking out when allegations of biting have been made.

Not even when Elias bit himself and blamed Mario Fenech.

Talking of suspensions and trips to the judiciary, anyone else think it was a bit strange that Wade Graham accepted a $1800 fine for an early guilty plea? He may as well have copped a suspension. It's like Ryan Matterson in reverse

 

[HK_Eagle]

Love to see these two teams batter each other stupid.

Pity, JWH isn't playing. Would have added some needed spice

Piss poor crowd crowd in bleak city

Wishart just made Cheese look absolutely stoopid

NAS came off, but didn't really notice that he started.

He's much better as impact off the bench. I know Bellyache wanted energy from the start, but I thought that was a poor coaching move to start NAS.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Is that King or Keppie out there?

Also White got a kick in the bum coming off the bench also.

 

[HK_Eagle]

How the farrrkkk did you make that call, Klein Klown?

Oh wow. Tomato face is going to explode over that call with a try off the back of it.

 

[Eagle 1]

Kline going ape **** again penalizing the visiting team

 

[Eagle 1]

To easy...could get ugly..

 

[HK_Eagle]

Wishart having some game, just quietly.
