At least 1 hated team will go out next Sat night. Unfortunately 1 hated scumbag team will go to a prelim but I'm sure the Panthers will dispatch them.

Parramatta will be lapped !!!

What a rabble. Seeing half of these teams in the semis instead of manly. We were beating top 4 teams pre-injury plague.

And we were beating them pretty traditionally, defending our line and grinding them out. 9-8 vs Roosters, 14-6 vs Raiders, game where we fought back vs eels and 'won'. I haven't seen many wins like these from other clubs this year. Really starting to think the six again rule is a dud. Our team is a lot less suited as well which doesnt help. Penrith are laughing, as are the Rabbits.

I hate how knights score 14, in ten or so minutes rabbits score 14, then next minute it's 46-14. Same as roosters 12-0, next minute 12-all, next minute panthers confidently on 28, then next minute they win by 1?

Oh, how sweet that would be. Something to look forward to in a $hit season

And how I would love to see the NRL bring in strong penalties for players picked up faking or exaggerating injuries. Would love to see them hand out a 1 game ban and fine against Walker for that "crusher" performance. It would quickly cut out the nonsense.

Drop by Pearce and another shocking tackle attempt by Ponga.

I feel sick to see a team like the Knights playing finals. It really highlights just how low and pathetic our season has been

Looking forward to next week's games. Big chance Roosters and Parra out in straight sets.

We were terrible, but honestly we should of beat them twice! Our own errors gave them the match rather than them beating us with good footy

Give me 4-0 final 2013 against roosters over this.

that was such a gripping final, even though we lost was such a game to be at live.

truly if you think about it this weeks finals matches and this ridiculous 6 again rule is just not rugby league.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Big thing I noticed this weekend is again, how important it is to have a quality hooker. All the hookers from the winning sides have been instrumental

Yep, that game was cracking. Ferocious defence

42 to 14 coming up

Almost

Cannot stand the 6 to go. Hate it. They are given out too often and not warranted and too inconsistent. Just let the team's bash it out

66 points.
What a joke of a sport we are now.

Give me local A grade any day.

 

[mickqld]

66 points. What a disgrace.

 

[mave]

230 odd points scored over the 4 semis.

It's like AFL scorelines

 

[ManlyArmy]

Rule to get rid of: 6 again

Rule to bring in: Refs awarding the try instead of going to the bunker every time, but the bunker can then reverse then decision before the goal is kicked.

Reflecting on the Knight's today, they actually looked very much like we did this season. They have some weak outside backs that get rag-dolled running the ball out (particularly Chihuahua and Hunt) and leak points in defence. They were missing a decent hooker, and their half was pretty much left trying to do it all himself. They were also missing a fullback.

Edrick and Klemmer were their best today I thought.

Compare that to Melbourne last night. Everything done is clinical and fast and with so much intensity
