Parra probably breathed a sigh of relief when the Cowboys beat the Sharks...

Hess injury will be what Cowboy fans will be listening out for.

What? Everyone's surprise? Melbourne have had more sin bins then anyone this year.

They are also the most penalised team but surprise surprise they only conceded one in the second half last week.

As for matching Melbourne, the only time they looked threatening is when Melbourne were down a man. Their other try came from a bit of luck and a forward pass

They were down a man because they cheated. They also scored off a forward pass. Everyone thought the refs were ordinary last week. Melbourne got all the calls.

Anyway tonight the refs were excellent. I can't complain.

I did. The Sharks have a better side than the Cowboys (minus Thurston), and were dudded by the refs. If we were outclassed by the Cowboys we would have been smashed by the Sharks.

I didn't blame last week's loss to Penrith but Manly's crap play. Moreso the referees.

Geez I hate a non NSW Grand Final.

So go the Roosters as I go for chemotherapy and a frontal lobotomy

The sad state I am now in too.

Broncos or Storm vs Cowboys or Roosters.

Roosters by location alone now.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Without Semi next year,you'll be looking for someone to really step up.

He's a massive loss, but we have French and Gutherson to come back into this backline.

 

[Vee]

Good enough to hang on when it counted and make it count when they could.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

To everyone's surprise? Storm have had 7 sin bins this season. The biggest surprise was that sin bin rules weren't enforced when Alvaro was throwing elbows and for semi's slap.

Those incidents weren't even charged by the MRC. They were nothing.

that's true nothing to be ashamed of by that, we sucked tonight but we've proven we can play at a level to beat roosters and storm that the cows aren't capable of....that i'll stick with.

 

[Vee]

Parra played their GF last week

Funny, plenty, including me thought they'd take a lot of confidence from last week, couldn't fix the errors.

 

[Pete Cash]

Its been a weird finals. No one has looked that convincing. Gotta think its melbournes comp to lose but you never know. They didnt look great against parra.

Yeah righto....

 

[Vee]

Again how did the Eels make the top 4?

Sharks weren't good enough to stop them.

 

[isaiah]

None of the teams are breathing a sigh of relief. You guys were fun but mental midgets when it matters. Will be better next year though.

Mental midgets were ma'u and Kenny with their histrionics.

 

[Pedge1971]

Better team won and carries some momentum into next week.

The other 3 teams are the f**king evil side of the nrl so whoever won tonight was my team.

f**k interstate rivalry this is club footy. Go Cowboys!

 

[Vee]

I'll just leave this here. Don't know why Parra were such heavy favourites. They're missing JT and Scott, Eels are missing Guthersom, French and Moeroa.

I know who I'd rather have.

So go the Roosters as I go for chemotherapy and a frontal lobotomy

I couldn't really give a shit where the contestants come from.

Sure, the furious masturbation from the type of people who wear Origin jerseys to Broncos games would be unbearable to say the least, but I'm essentially on the "anybody but Melbourne" bandwagon at this point in time...

Normally I'd favour the Cowboys over the Roosters, but of the teams left I can only see the Roosters realistically beating the Storm in the decider, should they meet.

 

[Pedge1971]

Mental midgets were ma'u and Kenny with their histrionics.

Yeah but to be fair the Cowboys lifted a notch and Parra shat the bed. This year will build them for next year.

Only capable of beating your mob who can play at a level to beat the roosters and storm. That I will stick with. Even though the chooks dusted Parra 48-10 if I remember rightly.

 

[Vee]

Should be 8 point try

You only have to do it a couple of times and suddenly, it stops happening.
