Brave Bears Book Ticket to NSW Cup Grand Final

Enjoyable game to watch.

Roosters looked the better side individually but lacked connection in the spine.

Really liked the look of Foketi off the bench, skill, power and really put his hand up when the game was on the line. Completed his second year of SG Ball for the club this year & won forward of the year. I wouldn't be surprised to see him fast-tracked to the NSW Cup team next year.

Heartbreaking loss for the Bantams. Just not enough opportunities in that 2nd half, super brave in defence. Some tough hombres esp in the forwards, looking forward to watching their development.

Now Bears...please beat Souths!

Jake Turpin confirmed in for the Bears is massive, obviously passed his concussion protocols throughout the week.

Seems that Jordan Swann is being developed into a forward as he has played backrow in a number of games and prop today

One of those games when the Roosters just couldn't get enough of the ball in the second half - NSWRL don't have the match stats which are usually posted later

Thats good news. On the flipside big Al Fitzgibbon is out which takes away our punch on that side now.

No word on why Big Al Fitzgibbon is out—late scratching, as the commentators allude too.

Some Jess Marschke brilliance...10-6 Bears 12min to oranges.

Why on earth did we let Baker go, he definitely has a lot more upside to his game.

Lucky to go in 12-12 at half time. Not sure what the bunker has seen to take that last try off the Rabbitohs... looked good to me.

Can't keep them all, I like Baker but the Broncos offered him regular first grade minutes which we couldn't.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

All square. Errors keeping the Bunnies in it , but if the Bears can cut them out and apply pressure can kick away with this one. Look yhe more dangerous team with what looked like less possession. Lovin the speed of the play the ball JT has them workin. Thats creating space even out of territory.

Yet we've paid big coin for a prop that looks gassed after playing 15min straight

Few of the lads here at Comm Bank. Ran into Vic a couple of times. Gus and Cheese stuck in a loooong bar queue...too long for yours truly.

Reuben Porter ( i think) crashes over next to posts... Bears up 18-16...9 mins to go.
