Super Cool GF thread Mel v Bris

[Bates]

The broncos were mainly shit all season. .limped into the semis . Fluked a win over the riff. . Were getting flogged by Melbourne ..and the game changer ? Kamimalakakitha drops a sitter..Reynolds who is useless is off..Hunt Walsh teamed up like before Reynolds came back from injury. Itwas the best thing to happen to Brisbane . to steer the ship.Couldnt give a fark who won.Walshs performance was sublime and determination. He was lucky he didn't get binned otherwise they would've been finished by Melbourne. Plus the worst coach I have seen snags another comp.One thing Reynolds will be a great coach..he has been coaching for 3 years now .Useless as a player.

100%

Game set and match if he scores that try.

storm will be competitive and probably pushing for a top four spot. too early to say if they'll be genuine contenders

Was busy with other stuff so didn't watch game live.

Reece obviously had a blinder, and saved what would have been a Melba last minute victory with that tackle on Pappy (if only the ball carrier had dummied...).

But the non sin binning for direct contact with shoulder on head (he wasn't even falling at time of impact as Atkins justified, his height was stable, and in any case they haven't granted a "falling" ball carrier as an excuse in the past, players have still gone to the bin), was consistent with all the other Brisbane friendly "controversial" calls throughout the finals series by the NRL, both by onfield refs, ESPECIALLY the bunker (Vlandys' master invention to manipulate game outcomes), and a very honorable mention to the MRC for their sympathetic calls on broncos players.

It was obvious the NRL had Brisbane winning as part of their business plan.

I tell you, rugby league as most of us know it, ended after our back to back GF wins in 2019.

Having won the AFL and both the NRL and NRLW, the Queensland Bulls will most likely win the Sheffield Shield i would imagine.

One of my first thoughts this morning was wondering how much the NRL coffers will be filled from merchandise sales now with both their teams as premiers. I haven't been so annoyed with an outcome since 2014..$100 for a polo shirt for starters..ugh I feel so dirty just going onto their online store..

Conspiracy-free summary: fark Melbourne and Brisbane!!! No premiership awarded to a team other than Easts is worth celebrating about. One for the statisticians that I'll happily forget after a smooth limoncello night cap.

2025 was a bust... bring on 2026...

Way things are going a Queenslander will win Bathurst & a Queensland horse the Melbourne Cup.

These are un Cool times we're in.
