NRL The Finals: Round 2

[Aucklander]

Well, what a weekend awaits. Two potential ripper games.

The Raiders v Panthers preview can be found here on nrl.com as can the Cowboys v Broncos here.

I'm looking forward to both games and both should be close.

Cowboys by 4
Panthers by 2

Extra time is so much better than golden point.

YES!! Suck s**t Darius!

Love it when good triumphs over evil, hopefully the dogs continue the trend

 

[Great8]

Suck it Broncos

 

[raskolnikov]

Great result. Broncos out and Cowboys hopefully struggle against the Sharks next week after having played two tough finals in s row, one in extra time.

 

[Aucklander]

Great result. Hopefully the Raiders get up, but not fussed if the Panthers do.

God it's **** having NRL and AFL finals at the same time.

PEN-RITH! PEN-RITH! PEN-RITH!

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Busy thread.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Been a lively 20 minutes.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Oh well. That sucked. Letting in that try after the start of the second half was the crucial moment.

 

[Aucklander]

Either team winning would've been good for the game. Can't see Canberra winning in Melbourne, but you never know. Cronulla v Nth Queensland should be very good.

Holy s**t... I can't believe it, I'm so excited to be able to go and watch the Raiders in a prelim final down here next week!

A couple of nervous moments when the Panthers scored the two quick tries, and it was starting to feel a lot like last week when we couldn't turn the first half domination into points. But when we scored the penalty goal I was at least able to enjoy the last 10 minutes or so.

I dunno about next week. If we can defend like we did against Melbourne a month ago, we're every chance. And I seem to recall that we have a decent record down here - without having played here a lot, I know we lost here 2 years ago. But I made the trip down to Melbourne in (I think) 2011 & 2012 (maybe 13) and we won both those games.

We'll be outsiders, and we'll deserve to be - but we definitely aren't without a chance.

First part of sentence does not compute with the second!

Already managed to get my seat for next week. Holy s**t NRL Prelim tickets are incredibly cheap! (In Melbourne where they're trying to fill the ground at least.)

I don't know how I'd feel if I were a member and a non-member was able to get in on the member allocation by correctly guessing the pre-sale code word on literally their first guess

(I know there's not too many Raiders fans here, but if you want a ticket in the Raiders allocation and aren't able to guess the code send me a PM.)

 

[Gigantic]

Pretty cool that we've got a team from four different states in the prelims.

 

[raskolnikov]

Will be an amazing year if the Sharks in the NRL and Bulldogs in the AFL can win the premiership. Will be cheering madly for them both.

ACT isn't a state.

After hearing the whinging about wrestling tactics Melbourne employ, I checked the calendar, of course, that old chestnut comes out every year..one of the greatest indicators its finals time..!!

Except now Cronulla do it too and only go back 8 metres apparently.
