Finals thread

Yep agree with everyone's sentiments here - that was a shameful disgrace from those officials. I just don't get it.. Why and how on Earth this can happen in 2016 I cannot fathom. The Gold Coast deserve and need a competitive footy team. I don't know if the refs were just intimidated or what but I'll say one thing. The lot of them involved in that game should play zero further part in the finals and start referring B grade in 2017. If that doesn't occur then I just about give up and that breaks my heart as a footy fan for 40 years.
 
I said last night that Cows v Storm was streets ahead of us and they clearly are the best two sides.

I'd expect Cows to beat Donkeys up in Townsville.

And Raiders will be lost with Hodgson ( and real pity as they are entertaining to watch).


But still the Choccy Soldiers could do it, come on boys do it for Mick, probably the last ever opportunity he will have to see them in a GF!!
 
Why babtise ran on the last with 10 on 2 was mind blowing. Plus a shot for field goal.
That was a major brain fade right there. I think all the Sharks defence was around the play the ball having just run down Wighton (??). Spin it either way and try time....but he goes himself and kills it stone dead. Dumbest play of the day.

Watching the Storm and Cowboys just shows a whole other level. Thurston and Cronk forcing repeat sets at will
I'd kill for a bit of this action at Manly

I noticed that Baptiste did this a lot in our game against the Raiders often to the detriment of the team.
Can play. Has talent. But looks for the line himself too often when he should be passing it out
 
Man there's some theatrical BS before kick off on Fox. I reckon the average Joe knows the importance of a finals game without having to have all that dramatic rubbish

But mate they have to trot out all the pretty blondes to get all us old farts worked up.

And you need time to do that, or pills !!

I wouldn't complain about pretty blondes, I'm talking about the dramatic over the top sequences involving players talking about what finals means to them etc
 
Panthers 5th tackle plays are worse than ours

How bad is Cartwright going lately.

With Cartwright at 5/8 they are. To me he's a bit like Gifty was for us, a back rower with the skills of a 5/8, but not one you would actually play in the halves. They're better off playing him as a ball playing back rower.

As a pivot he is too slow. Mbye made him look silly scoring that try.
 
Thanks for explaining that Gaz...."it's sudden death, these guys need to understand, if you lose, you're gone!
FMD....
