i thought finchy was wearing the 21 jersey

This announcer is ordinary...lol

You think he could have rehearsed so he didn't need to read off paper. lol

 

[skeepe]

Hardly noticed him.

I did notice Burgess, Rose, O'Donnell, Shillington, Tupou, Thaiday.

All of which I thought played as good if not better than Thompson.

Not saying he didn't play well..i'm just not blowing my load over the dude.

I guess I'm basing it a little more on the fact thar he's only played about 10 first grade games and he showed that he belongs on the biggest stages of the game.

As a Raiders fan it's very exciting.

 

[Chook Norris]

and the inaugural all stars Preston Campbell medal goes to a player, none other than.... Jonathan Thurston!!

 

[natheel]

Such a fun game to watch and looked like a fun game for them to play

loved the nrl stars jerseys had the players team on the sleev thought that was a good idea

Burgess is an absolute champion felt his way into the game and had a great game

 

[Non Terminator]

He played a great game on the biggest stage in the Toyota Cup GF, not the same, I know.
EDIT: Thompson that is.

 

[Big Mick]

LOL at Daine Laurie and Yow Yeh dancing in the background.

The players look like they've enjoyed the concept and that's an important thing.

If the players were not into it then it wouldn't have been a success...so full credit to them.

I'm excited about what this season will bring both on and off the field...hopefully the players behave and man up and help take the game to the next level.

 

[Dragon]

Seriously Souths are looking good things for the 8, maybe even top 4.

*edit* goddamn Preston you are a champ

 

[user_nat]

I wonder if that didgeridoo will count against Brisbanes salary cap.

 

[Jono078]

Kept thinking Joel Thompson looked like Chris Houston for some reason, he did well, Raiders have a great forward pack.

Burgess is a f**king beast.

On that note...I will definately agree.

He is showing a lot of promise.

And tbh it wasn't as though I would have been watching as closely as yourself as well.

But he is certainly a talent and yet another of the Raiders young guns that will make an impact this season.

Nice to hear the positive feedback on the game. I thought it was great.

Wasn't it Jamal idris?

That was a great game to watch. The only thing that I didn't like was the stupid double try crap... that gimmick brought the overall quality of the game down a little IMO. I wasn't sure if the quality of the game would be up to standard given that some of these players hadn't even had a trial game since last season ended, but overall they were pretty good.

Especially happy with how dangerous Michael Jennings was. Made a few mistakes, but he looked as dangerous as ever with the ball in hand and was one of the few NRL All Stars players that looked to trouble the Indigenous defence... which was absolutely outstanding. The try savers on Farah and Hayne were incredible.

 

[nqcowboy87]

yeh souths should lookd forward to to burgess tearing up for them

 

[Chief_Chujo]

He played a great game on the biggest stage in the Toyota Cup GF, not the same, I know.
EDIT: Thompson that is.

Thompson didn't play in the GF, he was injured.

 

[SuperSoward]

yeah sam burgess played awesome. he is a real hard hitter

and jamie soward is ssoooooooooooooooooo fast. outran jennings!

 

[Big Mick]

yeah sam burgess played awesome. he is a real hard hitter

and jamie soward is ssoooooooooooooooooo fast. outran jennings!

To be fair...Jennings was limping + Soward had momentum up already and had 5m headstart on him...but he is definately bloody quick for a halfback!

He proved tonight he wouldn't look out of place in Origin.

 

[Timmah]

Soward must be NSW 6 this year.

 

[Borat.]

Yeah he didn't really out run him....but jennings didn't make any ground....

Can't see how soward proved anything tonight....but I'd pick him over Mullen or Pearce any day.....Then again I'd pick Fitzhenry over Mullen.....
