The Finals thread:

[Disco]

Pulling it back 20 odd metres for a liw percentage 2 pointer is wild, just put it through the hands, put it up, go for it.

I think it’ll be one of the best finals series we’ve ever had (especially compared to last years snoozefest). My guess;

Week 2: Bulldogs vs Penrith, Raiders vs Sharks

Week 3: Broncos vs Penrith, Storm vs Sharks

GF: Storm vs Broncos

That is some epic finals prediction!!!

 

[double hoops]

Panthers stopped attacking that entire 2nd half.

 

[The '47ers]

News ltd cheats vs News ltd cheats who both get every advantage in the GF.

So $1000 on a draw?

I thought even in the first half their attack was pretty ordinary. With all the ball and time in the attacking zone, they didn’t come up with too much. I think they have just run out of legs, TBH. If you think of how far behind they fell early in the season, and the run they had to go on to get here, it’s not surprising to see them drop off. I’m just surprised they were able to stretch it out this long.

Yep - madness. The two-point field goal in that position was such a low percentage play. Would have been much better off trying to throw the ball around or putting up a bomb. But Penrith were just completely out of gas by that stage. Really showed the benefit of the week off for the Broncos.

Odd second half by the Panthers. Blaize bein' Blaize was a liability out there, and they seemed intent on attacking down his side when they'd had much more luck going right in the first half. Was also surprised they didn't take the two points when they had the opportunity to go up 16-6. They were under the pump and you would have thought putting some points on the board and getting the ball back would have been the best option.

He just can't crack it up there.

That’ll be the excuse from those in the media,but it doesn’t give credit to the Broncos.Last week’s game against the Dogs was a training run

Yes. That was a very un Penrith like call. Go up 10, take time off the clock, take a breath.

They are showing the benefit of Madge’s training methods. Credit where credits due. They are a tougher team under Madge.

@Mark from Brisbane would be torture to be up your way this week hope you get a chance to be away.

 

[davohan123]

I said it in my top 8 prediction thread storm vs Broncos GF and it’s proven right.
Storm after last year will not let this slip storm by 7
Broncos GF was today

 

[Rafferty]

Good game, terrible result, hilarious reading some of the comments in this thread, not looking forward to next Sunday, but will get behind the Donkeys regardless, the Purple scum will be the fav’s, I could never go for them and will be death riding them all game.

 

[davohan123]

The last 2 finals show
We are no where near both these clubs
Very depressing thinking about it
10 years plus away at least

 

[andyeagle]

Go Melbourne🤮

Those words should never said on this forum without the words "f%#k yourself" in between. A club that still honours grand finals where they disgraced themselves in. Muppet hall of fame club.

 

[The '47ers]

@Mark from Brisbane would be torture to be up your way this week hope you get a chance to be away.

All we do is "let them go" for the week and pray like F for a Storm win.

Panthers
