Well I think Roosters will go all the way after that.

That game was very frustrating all in all. The contest was ruined for me the moment Buderus was injured. Any chance we had was gone through no fault of our own and we completely fell apart mentally not long after that. We would have been long odds to win anyway but damn it was still 2 - 2 when that happened. Terrible luck for us and Buderus.

Mate it was men v boys. the writing was already on the wall even before Bederus got hurt. Wouldnt have changed the result one bit

Well in Roosters. Even with Bedsy for the full 80 we would have struggled to contain them

Manly have their work cut out for them

How many troll accounts does BHP need btw?

tbh, I felt rather robbed after the first half. Thought we were in the contest and all that separated the teams were some rather shit calls. First 20 of the second half was a disaster. Really shameful stuff.

I'm not fussed who wins next week at all.

As a fan of RL, I think its going to be one of the great GF's though. WIll be a torrid and tense game. Can't wait.

Jorge Tafua should be calling up B Moz tonight to get tips on staying in on that left flank. The game could come down to staying in like Moz did.

Rugby League is a bitch and the good guys normally lose.

The classic gf's of the modern era have been Canberra v Balmain '89, Penrith v Canberra '91, Knights v Manly '97, Penrith v Roosters '03. All involved some kind of fairytale story or heroes v villains.

This one is villain v villain and those just don't end up as classics.

Proper old school LOL @ the knights, they simply werent in the roosters class, the first side this finals series that showed up and played their best, wiped them off the park.

Agreed. It's going to be an absolutely cracking game.

As opposed to having a team not at all involved in the finals, lol.

Aiden Guerra was sensational tonight, as was Jake Friend... both would have been my MOTM contenders

Dont worry Persy, the raiders were absolute bollocks, i just got confirmation a few weeks earlier.

It may seem like trolling, and maybe it is, but is it not accurate? The roosters were in a totally different level to the knights. They over-achieved this year and that is something they as a players and you as fans should be very proud of, but they were never going to win the comp. They just arent a good enough team.
