Oppo Camp Non-Lions Discussion 2025

[Nathan Barley]

Suns clearing out their forward 50 and leaving lots of space for when they win clearances

Not sure how to combat this but at the very least we need to not let them win unpressured clearances

 

[Squizz89]

Their team is built for finals footy really. Rowell, Anderson, Humphrey is a good midfield trio of inside bulls who really should give them a chance in most finals games they play.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Didn't realise Treacy went to the same tattoo place as Neale & Rayner.

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

What’s happened to Tom Berry; just can’t get a game or injured?

He didn’t take his chances
Couldn’t kick a goal
I was hoping for him

 

[martinson]

I think we're sick of getting teams at their prime with no easy matchups.

It's been a tough year.

[Sproj]

If we play to our standard, we will run them over in the end, they'll run out of puff at some point with all the travel. We don't usually play poorly two weeks in a row but even so, I'm nowhere near as confident as I was heading into finals after playing that badly last night, that's really thrown me.

If we go out in straight sets does that mean we get a fixture draw next year from 5th/6th position? Likely 6th because of our shit percentage.

Fifth if Hawthorn loses; sixth if it’s Adelaide.

Fifth if Hawthorn loses; sixth if it’s Adelaide.

Considering we have been 2nd/1st in the last 2 seasons for fixture draws, that wouldn’t be the worst thing.

*don’t get me wrong, I hope we go all the way again. I just can’t see it happening now, unfortunately.

We want suns to win so that we get them as the top 6 double up next season

 

[Nathan Barley]

Got to love finals footy

When we’re not losing them

 

[Nathan Barley]

Yeah you assume they’ll only improve next year so will definitely be a top team

 

[RU_]

Do we want that?
They were scary last time we played them.
They look scary tonight.

 

[briztoon]

Tweet gone.

Arguably it doesn’t matter at this point. We get the same fixture priority as any other top-6 team.

 

[Nathan Barley]

For next year we definitely do. For this year if we can’t beat the Suns then it doesn’t matter who we play next week we won’t be winning the GF

 

[Elixuh]

We get them as a double up regardless of finishing position. This year we got them as our bottom 6 double up instead of a team like Norf or wce.

 

[RU_]

Ah gotcha.
Essentially a travel free top 6 double up game.

Also lol @ Bolton to Frederick mess up just then.

 

[010203]

Rowell nearly ran into the umpire

 

[010203]

Another downfield free that looked soft.

 

[martinson]

Freo's nothing special verging on ordinary tbh.

Let's hope they can make a match of it somehow.

 

[Tom14]

Another downfield free that looked soft.

Miles softer than the Rayner free.

 

[010203]

I expect the NRL to schedule the Broncos final away to Canberra for next Saturday night.
