NRL Finals 2022

[Blair]

Well here we are. The Warrior-less finals once again. If it's any consolation the whole series looks good, real good.

Panthers v Parramatta - Friday at Penrith.
Storm v Raiders - Saturday arvo/evening at Melbourne.
Sharks v Cowboys - Saturday night at Cronulla.
Roosters v Rabbitohs - Sunday afternoon at the new SFS.

Enjoy.

Ahh, that familiar feeling of jealousy that we aren't playing.

Hello darkness, my old friend...

Guy I worked with that was a Warriors fan always played Green Days “wake me up when September ends” every season at this time lol

Really interested in Sharks and Cowboys - terrific seasons, but I am not sure either are contenders...

Penrith obviously the best team, but the Eels can be scarily good, and scarily bad... Roosters were looking a threat, but Manu is a big loss... with the Raiders, Roosters and Eels rolling home, looks really interesting

Haha, I think you could play that song in March and it would fit being a Warriors fan.

I'm buzzing for this finals campaign. Genuinely think every side in there is capable of beating any other side. One of the most evenly matched in memory.

Before we kick off I'm enjoying watching Nick Kyrgios at the US Open. Gee, he has you on edge, both with the tennis and the persona!

I hope he goes all the way this time. What's not to like?!

Absolutely everything about him lol

Hey he's no Cherry Evans

I love Kyrgios haha, honestly makes tennis interesting for me as a casual

Lol I’ve heard it all now

Taylan May fined $7500 and suspended for 2 matches, but can play the finals and serve them next year

The only thing that would make that more of a joke is if he was heading to the Warriors next year!

But seriously, these guys can't help themselves, can they? They're out celebrating a GF win and they just have to get the police involved too.

Four top notch games this weekend, pretty exciting tbh

NRL continues to be a joke.
Guys stood down not guilty waiting trial due to the optics, which I get.
Yet a guy who is guilty gets to play finals.

He must be playing the good guy card like Aussie "f**ken incompetent ref" Jim did.

Lacking some real leadership in the head office in this area.

I feel Eels are overdue.

But they one of the few clubs that have waited longer than us for a premiership! (Yes they have won it before, we havent)

Anyone got some Kiwi player totals of each team?

Longer than forever???

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Quick edit.
But yeah, we have only been trying since 1995.
Their last 1986.
A quirk of history.
Titans and us standing alone with no premierships.
Dolphins added to the club next year.

Devil's advocate, it was completely up to the vagaries of time as to when his guilty verdict was passed down. It just happened to be in late winter, before finals. So to be honest, I'm OK with it. It's not like a spear tackle that happened last week.

Devils advocate again, didn’t we have Anthony Milford not allowed to play while awaiting trial, charges against him dropped, and with no guilty charge against him, the NRL still made him wait a few weeks before being allowed to play

Storm and Raiders with 5 each the most

NRL: Warriors are gone, but Kiwis abound in every playoffs team as finals footy looms

Kiwis coach Michael Maguire might be sweating over the fitness of 24 Kiwis hopeful at the business end of the NRL season.
