2008 GRAND FINAL: NEWTOWN v WENTWORTHVILLE

[Jeffles]

This will be no easy feat. The win at Ringrose seems like ages ago. When these two team last met it was a different story. At the same time, the Jets have played very well in both finals games.

Many probably didn't think we'd get there this year. The feelings that were there for me in 2006 have not been there this year. Maybe that's a good thing. There isn't the expectation there. I don't know.

It will be a long week!

 

[Die-Hard p/t Jet Fan]

We will win this for sure, it's our destiny to take this cup in our Centenary year. Jets by 4!

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

I too have a feeling that this maybe our year.... We've been slowly building up to the GF with a good semi final series.

 

[Jeffles]

I was shattered in 2006 so I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[Die-Hard p/t Jet Fan]

If we lose, which we wont, I will be shattered regardless of my expectations. So might as well enjoy it! Make sure the boys practice their field goals this week :lol:

Newtown coaching staff attention please!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the Grand Final, can we please have the BEST POSSIBLE team selected. #1 has to be Foley, Thompsons attempt at a cover tackle yesterday was disgracefull, he only has speed for the first 5 meters,as was the dropped ball that would have been a try. This is the GRAND FINAL, we need FOLEY at fullback, NSW selectors know hes the best fullback in NSW Cup, he has fisrt grade experience, he has that extra spark that Thompson doesnt have, PLEASE I dont want to loose a grand final again.

Guys,

I have 4 x Category 2 tickets (Cost price) for the GF that I don't need anymore. If anyone's interested, please PM me.

Is Minichiello eligible to play in the Grand Final?

 

[Jeffles]

No. You have to have played more than half your 2008 club games in NSW Cup or Toyota Cup to be eligible for the NSW Cup Grand Final.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

No. You have to have played more than half your 2008 club games in NSW Cup or Toyota Cup to be eligible for the NSW Cup Grand Final.

What about Frank-Paul? I know he played a number of games for Easts, but not so sure if he would be eligible.

Good Luck enjoy the day.

Thanks Quigs!

Being a Newtown Supporter that lives in the Shire and follows the Sharks in the NRL I apprecaite your good wishes!

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

Are we all going to try and get some streamers etc past the Fun Nazis of security? I think we should at least try....?

 

[Red Bear]

Couldnt be that difficult could it? Sneaking stuff into the footy is usually pretty friggen easy i've found.
Anyway, from a North Sydney supporter, good luck on sunday, hope you bring home the win!

Might just turn the TV off after NSW cup, Manly Melbourne just isnt very enticing.

 

[The Engineers Room]

Wenty for the win. That would make it a pseudo 4 in a row for a Parramatta/feeder team.

One wonders why they can't do so well in the NRL (Hagan)

Has there ever been an all Ranga halves combo in a GF before? I hope its not too sunny on Sunday. Jones & Rudder would be burnt to a crisp.

History is being made in front of our eyes people.

Go you mighty Jets. All the best for the GF lads and ladies
