GRAND FINAL DAY - who cares ?

[shaggs]

Has a team lost as many GFs as Melbourne?
2 theyve won they cheated.

Bellamy.
Is he a myth?
How would he go at Tigers? Sharks?

His whole career.
Inglis. Slater. Cronk. Smith.
Then.
Paps. Munster. Hughes. Grant.

And yet has won so few comps.

I totally agree. For the squad he has had and the elite spine it should be more.

 

[shaggs]

I’m curious who Stake would sack from that Melbourne team.

Considering same result as last year. Isn’t that the measuring point?

 

[shadowboxer]

Imagine being a Canberra supporter.

 

[coolumsharkie]

I reckon we would have lost better to them.

 

[eddiesmith]

Atkins was better than , no contest really, but to not sin bin the biggest dog in the league for a deliberate shoulder charge was disgraceful. To then bin a Melbourne player for the same thing, you got to wonder.

When the bunker intervenes, ultimately who’s call is it to sin bin

Papenhuyzen out, Walsh in.

I dunno man.
That last 20 mins against us started their run towards what their team was to become.

I'm gunna take a stake and reckon that you're not really curious at all haha

 

[bad boy bubby]

From a different view point.
Ben Hunt (a confirmed Cronulla supporter) wants out of his contract to the Dargons and goes to a team that wins the comp.
I'm pretty f**king happy for him eh.

I really meant that we dont have a Walsh.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

This Broncos team is so stacked with quality players I wouldn’t be surprised if they went back to back.

The way the Broncos have run over the top of all their opposition in all three finals games from being behind by a fair margin is unbelievable. I’m sure it’s unprecedented.

They came back from being 16 points down against Raiders.

14 points down against the Panthers.

10 points down against the Storm.

Combo of Michael Maguire’s fitness regime that he has installed in the team and Reece Walsh.

 

[shaggs]

Anyone think Haas was quiet for his usual lofty standards.?

 

[Bookie]

Definately need explosive speed somewhere to go to the gf level , something we lack.

Literally no one.
Maybe nikora but he runs such a predictable line that acceleration is useless

 

[Quigs]

Anyone think Haas was quiet for his usual lofty standards.?

I said a few games back that he had done his lower leg. I reckon he has played on needled up.

For him to go off when he did and stay off as long as he did, well.

He is a machine.

What evidence is there that Ben Hunt supports the Sharks?

You only have to watch the start where he says it. And it's supported, not supports

McGuire was lucky that he was blessed with a great team, both at South’s and now with the Broncos, look at how he went at the Tigers.

 

[Since 73]

That's a very good broncs team but Walsh won them every single game pretty much single handedly in their run.

Their season was shot until he returned. He came back early and his leg still wasnt right but he juts started shooting the lights out in games.

Canberra had them. Game over. Walsh comes back from the sin bin and does the impossible.

Last night Melbourne had them. Karmakametha drops the ball (walsh) and momentum swings on his defensive effort.
He scored one. Set up 4 and saved 4.

Maguire got them super fit and tough to hang in for 80 and you just need 16 blokes who can finish the opportunities Walsh creates.

In big games..games against quality opposition... that is the greatest one man performance in the history of the game.

Every coach is thinking who do I have to do that next year?
Nobody does.
Can he even does again what hes done this month.

The dolphins had him. He asked for an early release from wahs to come home for his daughter and the deal with the dolphins was all agreed upon until wahs said no he had to go back where he came from if they let him go.

Raiders were robbed

I was in Ashbury last night at my brother in laws watching the Grand Final, when around 7:40 I was hearing fire works, which where gun shots, it was pretty full on.
