After watchin the GF again

[simostorm]

Cracker game.. Ive heard a few comments suggesting it wasnt
that good of a game. SO i watched it again..
Do not agree with any downplay of this game at all..
Best GF since the Panthers vs Roosters game IMO. <<<

Storm's big guns fired which just gave em a nice bumper in the first half..
but both try's were dam good to watch..
2nd half was great.. Parra played dam good.. Hindmarsh was great.. he was runnin hard and lookin to offload.. but still in every tackle in defence.
Mateo << havent read much stuff praising how good he played.. He was in everything in attack. id give him Parra's MoM for the GF.

Billy Slater tho.. I was thinking maybe Cronk or even big Adam Blair deserved the MoM..
BUT after watching it again..
BILLY was absolutly awesome.. fully deserved his CC Medal.
This kid was dam good.

Roosters-Panthers? I thought Roosters-Bulldogs was a better game IMO from memory.

ya.. both those games were good.

By the way, good post also.
It's annoying when it doesn't take much time to reflect on the best Grand Finals of the decade when some of them were so lop-sided.

i really enjoyed it on replay.

parra had plenty f chances.

but a lock kicked it to hoffman. needed a clutch kick there.

also. cooper cronk was man of the match for mine.

After watching the GF again it is plain to see that the Storm and Eels were the 2 best teams in the comp. Unfortunately in that order.

I reckon they will play each other again in the GF of 2010.

That was golden point extra time for us there and then wasn't it?

A good kick is a try near the posts or 6 more tackles.

Talk about wrong bloke getting in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Certainly won't blame Lowrie for that. One of the halves or Mateo should have been there screaming for it. Hopefully, if we're in a similar situation next year Daniel Mortimer with that extra experience will be there calling the play......

I cant remember the last time I watched past about the 50 minute mark..its been atleast 5 or 6 years i reckon.

On topic,Rubbish game imo.

It needed Archer not to blow that penalty in the 76 min.

IMO a great Grand Final always goes down to the final whistle, and the Dogs/Roosters indeed did, that 79th minute ankle tap... :crazy:

not blaming the player. but he didnt need the ball.

yeah, you were down by 6. if you kick it in and get a repeat set i reckon you guys score.
