2024 FINALS: [All Games: Week 1]

[eaglebuzz]

Well I think the Sharks will be able to account for the Cowboys, but either way I don't think either side can beat Penrith

 

[HK_Eagle]

Done. Knights really blew that. I reckon that blown try by Ponga turned the game. knights really should have won that. Oh well, that’s what happens when you rely on one man to carry the team. His mistakes are just as impactful as his brilliant moments.

 

[HoldenV8]

For us to win, we must have > 50% of the ball...
Simples...
But how do you achieve that?

Actually holding onto it when you have it is a good place to start. Cut the silly mistakes that cost possession.

Easier said than done.

 

[Eagle 1]

Wow, Ponga has had a brilliant game, but that missed conversion followed by that blown try really hurts them.

They could have and should have been 8 points up

Massive turning point, the butchered try. Knights Score that, they win the game.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

They need to put a viewer discretion warning before showing Cam McInnes. I'm used to it and I still got a jump scare when I went to watch the presser.

Universal are looking at doing a remake of the 1932 Tod Browning classic, ‘Freaks’.

Young Cam is featuring heavily in their plans.

 

[Rackets]

Ref has been sus

Refs have all sided with the home teams so far

Rumours of "The Goonies" being remade or a #2, he'd be a shoe in there for Sloth.
Unless Sam Burgess has already signed on

 

[davohan123]

So all home teams have won
Do we buck the trend tomorrow
Hope so

Hope so

All the favourites have won too,no upsets we have ourselves an absolute cracker coming up

 

[Wombat Junior]

And Cotter from the Brokebacks

Can we sign up that Lucas from Knights

1. Cotter is actually too fit and strong for us to sign him if you pretended his contract wasn't till 2028-2028, he reminds me of what Jake could be if he was fit, stronger and had more muscle and less fat.
2. Lucas is too young for the players we sign, you have to be closer to 30 than 25 for us to sign anyone.
We are going to end up in senior citizens rugby league with the way we are going with signings.

 

[The Who]

It looked a clear knock-on by Cotter but The Clunker somehow ruled he didn't touch the ball and awarded a try over the ref's ruling. Play the action in real time and there is no way that was a try,
Newcastle can feel unlucky. But with The Clunker having the final say in results it's not unexpected. The NRL would want a Queensland team in the running.

I know, from what I could see it looked like cotter touched it and I slowed it down and everything but maybe there's another angle? lol I don't know

Were you watching on 9? On fox they showed a split screen view which showed that Cotters hands got nowhere near the ball, it was quick but there was no question.

 

[frank stokes]

So one prelim will definitely be Riff v Gummies... cows are no chance next week after busting a gut tonight...

they woild have lost to the knights but for Feldt intercept, Cotters knee and Ponga hating Tyson Gamble...

Watched the Nine telecast and I agree. I don’t think he knocked on.

It certainly appeared like he had in real time.

Riff will absolutely smoke the gummies or cows.
Storm are beatable if they're up against an aggressive pack of forwards that can dominate. Just hoping it's our pack.

100% summed it up. Why Ponga didn't give it to Gamble, when Ponga made the break he knew that gamble was looming up on his inside he even momentarily looked at him. Ponga looked dangerous all game but failed horribly when it mattered the most.

Yeah it sux to say so because Knights would not even have been in the game had it not been for Kalyn but he came up short in a couple of big moments... if he makes the very makeable goalkick and passes to Gamble then the Knights lead by 8 and it is a different game with 10min to go...

Heyyy, wait a minute… team relying on one man 🤔…………….😳

When you're the main marquee player and virtually on the same coin as Cleary you are expected to ice those moments. The Knights supporters will be inconsolable on Pongas pass selection. They've got a long off season to stew on it now.
