Panthers v Broncos GF

[BTRD]

I hate every team except us. I want to be in the GF next year.

The Broncos can beat Penrith if they get the offloads going plus Kevin Walters would have the blue print off Queensland on how to limit Clearys impact on the game.

Broncos to win

That would be Brisbane's best chance, as offloading has worked for Parramatta, for example, the times they have beaten Penrith.

They need the faster players to take advantage of this when drawing in defenders, which would leave gaps in the D line (Mam and Walsh).

It didn't bear fruit, but the Roosters looked a bit better in attack vs. the Storm in week 2 of the finals when offloading and keeping the ball in play—a season high of 18 offloads compared to the season average of 9.

The Roosters have never been a high-number offloading side but will need to incorporate more of this into their game, along with players supporting the ball carriers in numbers.

Too many times the Roosters player turned in the tackle vs. Storm to offload or pass, and there was no Roosters player in support.

Are you going to watch the game?

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Have to feel for the NRL a little. Worst possible conditions with big heat and strong swirling winds. Yesterday would have been acceptable weather wise and tomorrow is 12 degrees cooler! Don't think I'd even fancy being in the stands today.

If you’re not interested than don’t post.

Ive got a feeling it’s going to be a ripper.
My heart is with the Bronx because I really like watching them play this year especially Reynolds & Walsh but my head says the Panthers.
It can honestly go either way.

If I had to pick 1 team from both teams it would look like this

Fullback Walsh but Dylan Edwards is sensational
Wingers To’o & Cobbo
Centres Crighton & Staggs
5/8 Luia
1/2 toss of the coin
Lock, it’s so hard to pick out of Yeo & Carrigan
Backrow Capewell & Martin
Props JFH & Hass
Hooker Walters.


I think the winning halfback with get the Clive Churchill medal.

It has to be Carrigan . Yo yo is overrated, offers nothing , watch him all he does is catch and pass and does some really soft hit ups .

[B2B]

I am really torn about this game. One hand I don’t want the riff to eclipse our B2B achievement and on the other don’t want the drongos to win as we will hear about it for along time . It will be worse when QLD won the origin.

Can't believe it's been 17 years since the Broncos have won the comp.

No drinks break in NRLW, so the NRL players, being full-time professionals, should be well prepared for the weather conditions—hydration in advance and what not.

Almost Fisty Cuffs in NRLW

Congrats to the players in the NRLW gf, provided a good display in trying conditions. Knights a fraction too good, mainly thanks to Tamika Upton.

The footballs given out to the kids presenting the NRLW players with their rings look like old ones.

The Knights only won last year and this year because of all the former Roosters players in the team—7 of the 17 played in the Roosters Premiership Winning Side in the first comp in 2022.

NRL period - From 1998 to 2022 - 25 Seasons

The Minor Premiers when playing in the Grand Final have won 9 out of 18 Grand finals - so a 50% strike rate

Sydney Roosters (2018) and Penrith (2022) the last Minor Premiers to taste Grand Final Success.

Can't people toss a coin properly? - Should practice it at least

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

have to say on the 9 Broadcast, the 2 segments they've had, one for the retiring players and the other for people associated with the game that passed this year, were both very nicely done.
