NRL Finals 2025

Sam Walker having a bit of a shocker

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Ramian knocks that onto Walker there?
Walker needs to give away a penalty and get the challenge. But I suspect it would be considered a professional foul? Can that be reversed or challenged?

Looked like he was trying to give away a penalty as well

I’m mixed on it, was a very poor carry from him

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Too many errors from the chooks

 

[Blair]

14-10, nulla. Ten mins left...
...I think I want the Sharks to win.
Rudolph seals it, 20-10. Final. Up! Up! Cronulla!

Ashley Klein is rubbish. Like, really bad

Ashley Klein is rubbish. Like, really bad.

I'm not sure anyone's all that good. My mother asked why we can't get a Kiwi ref from time to time, but especially in finals. I told her how bad Perenara was when we had him.

It's game on, as expected, in Canberra.

12-all, 28 mins...
18-12, Canberra, Haas limping, which is huge news for Brisbane's chances...and that's halftime.

 

[Blair]

I've never seen ugly violence like this at Warriors games:

From the ABC, I heard this live, but couldn't see it on TV also, as Nine has their umpteenth ad on:

Walsh in bin for brain explosion headbutt, should've been sent off? But he's come back on and is firing. Involved in two quick tries.

28-20, Raiders. Nine mins left but all the momentum with Brisbane...now a 40/20! He's brilliant...Shibasaki scores! 28-26, six mins left...
...two point field goal by Walsh!!! Hits the post!

Seconds left...another two-pointer? Charged down...and Canberra hold on...no! Contact with Walsh's leg. Penalty in front. 28-all. Extra time. No golden point, yet.

...first five mins done, still locked up.
...the ref knows what a forward pass is in this game. Absolute mayhem, Canberra blow a great chance to win by a field-goal with seconds left.
Now it's golden-point.

... Canberra win! But Bunker review a bomb knock-on!

Now Hunt scores with a field goal to win, 29-28, Brisbane. Final.

Wow.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

My Canberra mate will be in the foetal position all night, absolute killer. Raiders their own worst enemy and can’t complain about the calls at the end, they had enough to give them many chances to ice that game

That try taken off was the correct call, very similar to the Warriors one a few weeks back, no way he could have knocked it backwards

 

[Beavers Headgear]

The 2 teams I want to win the least are now sitting in the prelims

Bit ironic that Buzz has been flogging all year that Madge is working them too hard and will burn them out, and then they win a 93min game at the end of the year

Are we picking a $1500 fine for a headbutt ?

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

I tthink these 2 will play the GF

In that jersey and poster boy it won't even be mentioned will it? 2 weeks if it done in a Warriors jersey.

Madge nearly popped a few rivets!
Must have a great cardiovascular system!

From the ABC, I heard this live, but couldn't see it on TV also, as Nine has their umpteenth ad on:

I don't see that as a no try. Schneider's whole upper body finished over the line. If it was a Warriors player, I'd expect it to be given

 

[JJ]

Headbutts are ok now? Interesting…

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Headbutts are ok now? Interesting…

I don't usually go down this path but Walsh doing it in finals will produce a much different punishment than a rookie in round 6

 

[Beavers Headgear]

What a massive surprise, $3000 fine for the headbutt and $1800 for giving the crowd the finger for Walsh.

Carrigan gone for a week for his head clash

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Walsh is on another planet. That kid can absolutely play. His effort to get the Broncos back into that game (after he almost cost them) was Joey like.

The solo try, the Karipani assist, the 40/20 all in what like 10 minutes. Kid is a freak.

Once he can figure out how to put it all together for 80 minus the brain snaps he will be an elite of the game.
