2023 FW1 Sun - Newcastle 30-28 Canberra @ McDonald Jones

[Canard]

I was watching the game from my spa at chez Pneuma when that try was disallowed. I thought to meself ‘that’s a try’ every replay they replayed. And there were plenty. Horrible decision.

How close to the TV where you though?

That disgusting no try when Mariota quite clearly got the ball to the turf ends up costing us.

Chris Butler and Ashley Klein are the only reason Newcastle are still alive. Absolute f**king bullshit.

f**k you NRL. You got what you wanted.

Canberra were pretty damn fortunate not to play a man down.

The ata no try is a bit strange
Like I’m 100% certain that ball hit the deck and I think there was enough evidence to overturn
But I also understand why they didn’t in some ways, since there was no smoking gun

but everyone who watches footy honestly says that’s a try

How did the TV in the spa not electrocute you?

No sense no feeling.

The Raiders stretch every ounce of talent they have... it's a credit to the club. If my club did the same we would be Top 2.

Knights vs Warriors should be super entertaining next week.

Also re wighton
I didnt see any biting motion
The mark on gambles arm was visible so that might carry the day at the judiciary but he’s shoving his forearm in his mouth. And again I go back to not visible biting motion

not that I particularly care, they can give him 30 f**king weeks for all I care
He’s Souths problem now

I was electrocutable

That makes it all worth it.

Seriously felt bad for Canberra though. They were the better team and were unlucky to lose.

Moaning about the ref is crazy though. Klein spent the first half doing all he could to get Canberra over the line. Not to mention the cannibal getting off scot free.

 

[Exsilium]

I'm absolutely merkined but I don't have to wake up tomorrow. So YOLO

Up the Knights......or whoever won

 

[GongPanther]

I thought it was 10 each way

It probably used to be, maybe players were gassed.

 

[nick87]

Btw I reckon that would have been a cracking game of footy for a neutral

swings and roundabouts, points and controversial calls
That’s a good fun time if you’ve got no dog in the fight

[Ruby Roundhouse]

seen way to many pathetic performances this year

tell me about it, we suffer every year

 

[GongPanther]

I was standing close to the TV??

Holy f**k, that's an all time LU classic

LOL no, on the way to the kitchen to finish cooking...the bunker was deliberating, so I had a closer look as I was near the telly.

 

[perverse]

Got a real kick out of that game
The raiders are a terrible football team who had no right being in the finals
I was expecting to be embarrassed

to push the knights all the way that far, genuinely tickled me just right
Mercifully our season is over and if the knights had that much trouble putting us away, they’ll follow us very shortly lol

Yeah may be the case, but I mean... we beat you with 20 minutes of good footy and a bunch of garbage. Let's not get too excited. Better luck next year!

It was, one of the best all year

If you told me pre game the knights played 20 minutes of good footy, I’d have told you they win this game 30-12

mostly my excitement is the season is over. This was a rooough year of raiders football and sneaking past the knights would have been hilarious, but getting f**king belted off the park by the warriors would have stunk

I am perfectly happy to go out on that game haha, that raiders team is the worst finals team you’ll see in 10-20 years

 

[ColdWetPanther]

So one side of the draw has Penrith, Storm and Roosters, while the other Broncos, Warriors, Knights.

Did George Lucas script this finals series?

Bit harsh some of the comments relating to poor Jackie boy. He’s just hungry for a premiership.
