2016 Week1: Finals Footy Sept 9,10,11

[Bazal]

Jeez Cheyse Blair is still a complete no hoper in defence

 

[hineyrulz]

Shocked a call went against the perfect Storm.


Come on you Cows!!

 

[Haynzy]

I know they've been soft on it for weeks after threatening to be strong on it but fair dinkum I wish someone would get a foot to the ball when they're playing it.

Can you imagine them throwing out the snap in NFL, or letting them pick the ball up from the dribble and run for a few steps and then dribble again in basketball or just ignore handballs in soccer. It's part of the game dammit!

 

[hybrideel]

with all the penalty goals i am now confused as to which game is league and which is rugby

 

[BoneyBlake17]

Looks like melbourne will make another bloody grand final got themselves onto the easier side of the draw

 

[Kornstar]

f**k!!! Who's gonna beat them down there?

 

[jk13]

Pretty mundane game, maybe it's the wet

 

[Bazal]

Ugh all the teams I hate won and I hate both sides tomorrow....

 

[hineyrulz]

Cows did well to get close considering they did not get once close call.

It was 2 tries all, a hundred penalties the difference.

What was the penalty count the cows couldn't buy a penalty

 

[phantom eel]

f**k!!! Who's gonna beat them down there?

Not the Sharks, and probably not the Panthers/Bulldogs...

Bugger.

The fact the play-the-ball even exists suggests it is intended to slow down the restart after a tackle. If that's the case why are all modern rule changes seemingly intended to speed up the play-the-ball? And why not just allow a roll between the legs like in touch footy? Or f**k it off altogether and have the tackled player stand up, tap it and pass.

GF will now be:

Storm/Canberra/Penrith/Dogs
vs
Sharks/Cowboys/Broncos


Still likely storm v cowboys i would say

6-2 I think, laughable considering what they do in the ruck.

Whatever the case if storm are in it as expected. The game will be boring as batshit. The 2012 grand final against the dogs put me to sleep

Yeah, conditions tonight were bad but still, was very dull. Almost as boring as the footy show that followed it.

Not f**kin wrong ... that show was a shocker

 

[TheParraboy]

There wont be a rematch of last years GF, well not in the actual decider


Dogs v Broncos GF for mine, put your house on it

 

[Kornstar]

I don't like that try that was awarded when BJ took out the Sharks player. It is an illegal play no matter what!'

He probably wouldn't catch him, but it is very possible that Barba causes the player to put the ball down is a worse position thus making the kick harder. Two points can and does decide games.

What happens if the raider player drops it ?

Shouldn't have been a try!!

I was watching on my phone without sound during this game and am only just seeing the replay on Fox now, it appears they just went with common sense rather than the rules as Barba probably wasn't going to catch him.

Are they allowed to do that? Serious question.

I'm with you though, it doesn't sit well with me. What if BJ coat hangered him? Would they have ignored that too because he wasn't going to catch him?

At least we know who won't be in the GF now......
