NRL Preliminary Finals time

[Aucklander]

Pretty ordinary after you've dropped the ball just to stand there and say wo is me

And again!

Really good try from Jennings. This could get real nasty for the Knights. Really poor how they allowed that forward pass for his first try, though.

 

[Aucklander]

Very impressive looking Roosters. Will be hard to beat next week.

Fair to say this isn't living up to the prelim 13 years ago.

Yeah. If the come out hard like tonight, Manly will be in for a tough night.

Manly do have a few more attacking options than the Knights, so that should even out the hardness a bit.

 

[Fire Storm]

In hindsight.....

Maybe the Knights should've gone for the tap instead of going for 2 points with that penalty in first half? Put Roosters under pressure then.

Wonder what Alfie would've done under Bennett? Tap and run.

And better defence which has been pretty ordinary up the middle. Could be a great GF.

Losing BD hurt, but in the end they still lack attacking options.

Could well be one for the ages, just a pity about the two teams.

Suits Ch9 though. All Sydney GF. Could be a smash a thon.

Very true, plus it's the type of match up which will attract a lot of interest interstate.

Knights showing some fight.

In all honesty an Easts v Manly GF doesn't drum up much interest for me (apart from the fact that it is a GF)

Souths v Easts GF would've been so much better. Oh well.

 

[Aucklander]

That'll do me. Work in the morn. A great weekend of sport. Going to hate the off-season.

 

[moto748]

Looks like the GF will be one big arm-wrestle. Can't bring myself to want either team to win, though.

This year I think the ESL GF will have more interest for me.
