People wanting to move Blake to the wing for 2017 are way off. Simply has to stay at centre

Hiku to wing... and then reserve grade when Mansour is fit.

If Blake is on the wing its fir Peachey. Not Hiku. Nice problem to have though.

 

[umina panther]

Edwards over Hiku imo. Peach back to the bench if Whare is the same player before the injuries

Roosters Panthers.. who saw that coming lol

not me apparently hahaha

 

[mxlegend99]

So that forwatd pass against Panthers early on... was it forward? I thought the pass went back and bounced forward. But i didnt see a replay.

 

[GongPanther]

Not in this at all at half time. Pushing passes and silly mistakes have crept into our game.

 

[mxlegend99]

Roosters lead is too big unless Panthers get a 7 point try early.

I don't think it was forward

Panthers have started a trend from now on.Simply send most of your young players with 4 or 5 NRL players.

you need a collective will to do something as well though
the Raiders squad ( among others ) had an attitude of meh ... lets have a weekend in NZ

the Penrith players had an attitude of
nah ... we're here for business
we're here to win

kudos to them
excellent effort & just another reason why the pennies will do very very well in 2017

 

[GongPanther]

See how the roosters fare with the sun in their eyes

 

[Raiderdave]

i think the officiating needs to be given a rap this weekend too

simply tremendous refereeing in the main
lots of bigs calls with no video ref / bunker back up & 99% have been correct on review

we're quick to bag them
we need to give credit when & where its due too

well done NRL refs

Mostly agreed.. forward pass situation was pretty bad though.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Entertaining final. Congrats roosters, well done panthers. Lol@broncos

 

[OVP]

Woohoo well done lads, bloody good effort. All that first grade experience last year paid off

 

[GongPanther]

Well done to both sides.Played a lot of good football to get to this point.

Latrell will be lucky if he doesn't get cited for that headbutt on Cleary after he tried to improve the ball when he scored.

 

[TheFrog]

Well deserved win Roosters. We made them work for it in the last bit but they were too far in front.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Wow what a shock! Watson and Carter were amazing.

Time for a few beers now!!

 

[pantherz9103]

Disappointing to lose after coming so close and annoying to lose to the Roosters in a final, but this weekend was about giving the youngsters a run and they well and truly exceeded expectations.

 

[DiegoNT]

Roosters won it without Pearce, Keary, Ferguson, SKD, Friend, Cordner, Napa, JWH
Panthers were finalist without Moylan, Cartwright, Wallace, Merrin, DWZ, Mansour, Peachey, Fisher-Harris
Storm were Semi-Finalist without Vunavalu, Chambers, Cronk, Slater, Smith, Bromwich, Harris, Proctor.

If their is a 9s next year I hope people stop whinging about 'stars not being there' or 'teams aren't taking it serious'

Saw this on my fb timeline from a Broncos fan page.

They aren't the best at maths in Brisbane

Technically true. Broncos v sharkies trial game was streamed online last night
