Just finished watching it on iq.

For the first time in my life I Lol'd WITH Souffs. Great game by both teams.

Unbelievable game. Holy shitbags.

Big hits, freaky trys, nail biter finish. Great advertisement for the game.

Souths still shouldn't be pleased with that effort. They were atrocious in the second half. If they are a genuine top 4 team, they need to learn how to play for 80 minutes.

Yeah you're right. So many unforced errors for most of the game and we weren't really in it in the 2nd half. Still, we'll take the win :)

Roosters got away with a few forward passes and owned the penalty count... and SKD's "knock back"... I think it all evens out
Those are all decisions that need to be made on the fly and will always be gotten wrong on occasion.

The video referee has the benefit of time being stopped and being able to watch the replay as many times as he wants. Yet he still comes up with a decision that is completely inconsistent with how the game has been adjudicated all year.

Roosters were robbed.

We couldn't play to our best because there was some outright disgusting refereeing.

Sam Burgess gets penalised for some Easts scum holding him down in the tackle to milk a penalty. Of all our "forward" passes ONE was forward. The rest were no different to what they did all game and didn't get pulled up for. Then there's the BLATANT knock on, it didn't go sideway, not diagonally, it went towards the posts. Right infront of the ref. And it was ignored.

To still win after all that and being down by so much in the last 3 minutes is incredible. It was the stuff of contenders, not pretenders.

Top teams like Melbourne and Manly are getting smashed. We're winning, whether we win pretty or ugly, we're winning.

One of the best wins I've ever watched us get.

Wow.

Im still stunned. Who wouldve believed the same result as the first game different winner??

Great game though, another classic rivalry.

You'll hear plenty about it tomorrow in the papers.

Uh huh, so your knock on should have been called a try and this missed forward passes, offsides and unfair domination of the penalty count is all cool :lol:

Seriously, from an objective perspective, this must be undoubtedly the best rivalry in the league. You could just feel it in the crowd

The more amazing thing is Souths and Easts haven't faced in a final for like 70~ years

I agree, I'm not one to usually jump on with the "refs robbed us" excusers, but that was some shitty refereeing. And I'll give credit to Easts, I think they actually played really well. Few errors, and good up the middle.

.....any mention yet in post match stuff on the Souths bench players jumping up n down, being on the field as the winning try was scored?
Is it an issue?
