NRL Finals 2020

[Blair]

Week One:

Panthers v Roosters.
Storm v Eels.
Raiders v Sharks.
Rabbitohs v Knights.

Pretty good, really. Seen worse.

 

[JJ]

Yeah, but as always the 7 and 8 teams are pretty dire... they'll probably both win this weekend and prove me wrong, but top 6 is where the quality is

 

[Beavers Headgear]

10.50pm kick offs for us are hard work !!

 

[TheDMC]

Slim pickings in teams I don't hate in the eight.
Will be on the Canberra bandwagon.

 

[Blair]

Tonight's the moment of truth for the Panthers. Are they really that good?

Tonight's the moment of truth for the Panthers. Are they really that good?

Don’t see that as questionable tbh, they are really good, but plenty of really good teams don’t win the premiership

loser here is still well in it, both quality teams

go the Panthers!!!!

 

[Blair]

6-0, Roosters early. Obviously not the start the Panthers needed.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Cleary on fire!!! Hat trick in the first half.
He can play.

 

[SmashEmBro]

How good is their halves pairing, Luai essentially has set up 3 of their tries and barely gets a mention. But yeah they're looking great

 

[Blair]

Not so fast with the Panthers praise, guys.

It ended up a cliffhanger.

29-28, Penrith.

 

[JJ]

Penrith will be better for that, their only weakness is relative lack of experience

if Melbourne and Canberra win and I’m reading it right (haven’t looked tbh) it seems they’ll all be on the same side of the draw as the Roosters? That’s a bonus if so...

 

[Blair]

With Johnson out this next one is just pure Raiders for me.

 

[JJ]

Cronulla started well, up 8-6

 

[JJ]

Dominating at 14-6 but just lost Brayley which will hurt

 

[JJ]

14-10 at halftime. Canberra lucky to be close tbh

 

[Blair]

Against the run of play, Canberra intercept a Graham pass and score.

All Sharks in that first forty though. Dominating everything, including the 'kick -chase'.

Sticky will be ropible.

 

[Blair]

Raiders in front for the first time, 16-14. They don't lose it from here, at home, against the Sharks, do they?

 

[JJ]

First Wighton try there a bit rough on the Sharks

Raiders taking charge now but have to like what Sharks have done

 

[JJ]

Wighton has a bit of Laurie Daley about him, ferocious ball runner

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Williams a half hit the line against 3 forward and scores like a back rower!
