NRL Preliminary Finals Weekend

[Aucklander]

Tackle of the year in the 1st half of the Manly v Storm game.

Warriors continue to let the game down.

Weather terrible in NSW.

The final 4. The top 4 sides look a cut above the rest, but you never know.

The Rabbits and Roosters go head to head to head again, only this time Sam Burgess won't be playing. JWH will after he was found not guilty of a high contact charge despite opening half the head of his Souths opponent. With Burgess out, the Roosters win going away.

On Saturday night at 5.40pm I expect the Storm to make an emphatic statement to the rest of the comp, that they're here to win again. There is just so much to like about this team despite some of their tactics. Without a doubt, the best coached side in the comp and with a captain who has the refs in his back pocket. Sure they can be beaten, but the rightfully are the hot favourite. They could win by 20 or more.

Game 2 on Saturday is, Manly v Cronulla. The Sharks were very good last weekend, but I just think Manly at home is a different proposition. I think they'll win by 10.

Finally, Bankwest should be rocking when the Eels play the Broncos on Sunday afternoon. This will be the best game of the round and what a turnaround for Parramatta in 2019. I think they'll win, by maybe 6-10 points.

don’t think it would make much difference with or without burgess. or anyone else. time for Roosters to run over them. enough is enough )

Please win Parra. No doubt NRL would like a Queensland team in Week 2.

 

[Gigantic]

Ughh....Souths s**t, Roosters good

 

[NSWCROW]

YOU ARE ******* JOKING....

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Yes we Canberra!

 

[Mister B]

Lol. Assistant clearly calls strip when he sees a strip but then when asked by the ref says nothing. Nearly results in Canberra's second try. What a ******* cheat.

 

[NSWCROW]

Raiders fans know all too well what happens when Croke misses sitters in finals.......

 

[NSWCROW]

And THATS why you cant afford to miss easy penalties in finals

 

[juss]

Storm robbed of a decent chance by a totally inept touch judge in the last minute

 

[Santana]

What a * up on the touchline call. ****ed up what could have been a thrilling last minute

 

[NSWCROW]

I always knew we'd win....

It's amazing that in this day and age where there is irrefutable video evidence of an error, that it can't just be overturned

What's amazing is a man standing 3 metres away couldn't tell his hand was at least 20cm inside the line. There's no excuse for that. He's either a cheat or he should be dismissed immediately because that is incompetence at its finest.

 

[raskolnikov]

Go the Raiders!

It wasn't by that much, but it should have been obvious to the touch judge that his hand never touched the line if he actually saw it.

He's either guessed or is blind, in which case he's incompetent, or he's had a vested interest in Canberra winning

 

[Oscarman]

Storm's opponents next week will have no chance. Refs will give them nothing.

 

[lvandinter]

You’ve got to be ******* kidding me, touch judge can’t get it right, what a disgrace. Better not be straight sets for us.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Feel sorry for the Storm there.

Words I never thought I’d say.

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

Maybe the touch judge had fireworks shot into his eye as well. Eat a dick storm.
