Still doubt Parramattas chances for the finals, because we were woeful.

Doubt ours now also.

Mateo man of the match. Hindmarsh close behind

 

[innsaneink]

How can he know he's missed it?

 

[Scorpio30]

Haha...Mitchell was heading to the corner but Falou was going to mow him down so he heads back the other way and Winterstein almost gets him.

 

[Rovelli]

Big win for the Eels. For and against is bad, but if they win out and head to 30 points, I think that will be enough for them.

 

[renouf]

cheers Parra, I cleaned up on that $2.10 they were paying.

Broncos just too predictable.

 

[kay]

Might have something to do with Brisbane directing 100% of their play towards Inu/away from Burt

which is why I was surprised at Gould speaking about inu and hayne's lack of involvement which he emphasized when the former was put in for a try.

Got wood, had a brilliant day, wife doesn't want any.

At least Parr won

Was a great game; I feel sorry for Broncos fans, Thaiday was very unlucky to score the try that would have put ya's back in the game, and they were definitely better than the Eels for the majority of the game. I think they were just unlucky on some occasions, and the Eels got lucky on others (i.e. Luke Burt's try).
On that note, what did you Broncos fans think of Luke Burt's chip-kick-for-himself try? I think it's got to be, when considering the context of how close the game was and how the momentum was with the Broncos, one of the tries of the season?
Your thoughts?
My ratings for the teams also;
Broncos 7/10
Eels 6/10

EDIT: Also yes I agree some of the decisions were a bit suss, some favoured the Eels and led directly to tries
This from an Eels fan mind you.

 

[Light Reflections]

Luke Burt has been doing that stuff all his career, it really didn't surprise me at all.

 

[Frank_Grimes]

Well done Eels. Brisbane weren't good enough to win it, but f**k me they got raped by the refs.

 

[chrisD]

As a panthers fan who is highly critical of our halves I still can't say I miss Wallace.

 

[some11]

Well Gillett at 5/8 worked wonders didn't it, just like Carroll at halfback 09 preliminary final.

:lol: Looks like XPOX and Bumwarmer will have to do :lol:

 

[oldmancraigy]

Notice who wasnt there to congratulate burt, despite being the 2nd closest support player?

"Awww, hes stealing my limelight"

That's funny - I saw the 2 of them having a laugh about it. One walks up to Burt and makes some comment, Burt laughs and points and obviously says something like "that's how you really do it"

[in your version I think Burt cops a ragepunch on the chin by the other person who then storms off to the showers after spitting on Mateo for winning motm]

 

[Timmah]

The turning point was the Burt try, if that wasn't scored Brisbane really had the momentum coming home IMO. Shouldn't have been awarded with the obvious forward pass earlier on but sh*t happens, Tigers will hopefully smack Parra round next Sunday

 

[Big Pete]

That and the Inu strip penalty. That was a real 50/50 call and the Broncos had the Eels absolutely pegged inside their own corner.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

The day when the refs don't try to get the Eels home at every chance, will be a glorious day for rugby league.

LOLLLL :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

So true old man craigy, i saw it the exact same WAY you did because i was actually keeping a lookout for Hayne and i saw them talking and laughing with each other.

LOL @ bulldogs.
