NYC Grandfinal Roosters vs Panthers

[Cockadoodledoo]

Special mention to the penrith captain, great speech and very humble.

Good call, he showed real class.

well done roosters nyc...got to be honest i went out at halftime so had to listen on radio in the end...see people theres no conspiracy to make sure the roosters dont win...good teams seem to get the rub of the green and im guessing thats down to momentum i mean surely if the nrl didnt want the roosters to win would 13 have happened...funny thing is i work with a rabbits fan who is actually a good bloke but says we cheat the cap ?? wtf

[Cockadoodledoo]

Great win. And to think Latrell, horrie jr, Watson and Nikorima were still eligible to play under 20's

Hastings out was a plus imo. Panthers missed Nathan Cleary and James Fisher-Harris.

[Kingbilly]

An amazing effort. Tony Barnes has made a huge difference. I heard the other day this player group is pretty tight , no cliques or favourites. All the players get along.
Last year was a very different story. Tony B and SAm are very no nonsense

My cousin is a 50 yr rabbits fan and swears we rort the cap. The general consensus out there is that we do..........Fark them.

FB looked good. Amazing we win minus Hastings and nikorima

Not only do Rabbits fans not understand any of the rules of RL, they still think the salary cap is probably $10,000

Great win Bantams! Not bad for a club with 4 (?) Junior teams.

As stated Radley and Butcher standouts but a lot of guts and belief across the whole team has been evident during the finals. Overcame the dud calls and stood tall.

You bewty! Hope some fans got a piece of the good odds too..

Nat Butcher and Victor Radley what great prospects for first grade. Gutsy but with skill, their futures look bright.

Also, was Joey Johns constant comparison of Radley to Gidley pissing anyone else off? Only my first viewing of Radley but couldn't see any similarities at all.

Gidley could not hurt people, Victor can

Just on the 9 coverage rare kudos to them.

Normally the kids gf game gets a wannabe comedian or 'legend' who wouldnt know one player from the other.

The main caller and joey johns were v good...research and focus on the game and individuals.

Lockyer hates Easts so a bit...whatever...re him.

Yeh I agree it's one of the few times I've watched 9 over Foxsports this year.

I actually find Foxsports coverage of the NYC quite painful, as you say there's very little research and they add nothing to the viewing experience.

[Andrew Walker]

Great cameback win. Showed real heart commitment and character all involved should be very proud. Nice way to end what what has been a season from hell for the club and supporters WOOOOOHOOOOO

I can't agree with this. Whilst I have never really rated Andy Raymond or Kimmorley, they clearly showed a pretty decent knowledge of our players and were also quite 'pro' Roosters for the finals campaign. Throw in it was in HD and it was an excellent coverage.
