All drawn up at half time.
JWH headbutt/shoulder charge and Luke dangerous tackle on SBW on report! Prob 6 weeks each since they are Kiwi's

Souths looking pretty much unstoppable despite a lot of heavy ref whinging.
SBW is an absolute joke in recent times, phoned it in as usual

I agree about Sonny Bill. He looked like he didn't want to put his body on the line. He played well last year, but I don't think he came back to the league the same player he was at the Dogs. the shoulder charge rule took away a lot from his arsenal.

Souths were awesome after conceding those early tries. Defense was sensational and damaging. Hope they win it all.

I just had a laugh with a Brazilian mate, who's a big Souths fan.

The last time Souths were in a grand final the great Pele was still playing for Brazil!

Lets go Penrith !

Dogs Rabbits has a air of borefest about it.

Uncle Ivan is deservedly an Ex Warrior associate who it would be nice to see get to the GF.

If Ivan makes it there, I think the sentimentality of a Souths victory will see all 50/50's go their way.

They have had the softest ride to the finals of any team in terms of getting the rub of the green from the officials.

The NRL are dying for a Souths fairy tale.

If Ivan gets through......If Ivans boys beat them......and the men in Pink....it will be one of the great GF wins.

Cya later Sonny :)

JWH is a stupid piece of shit, absolute idiot.

Luke should go for a skate for that but doubt they'll have the balls to do it GF week, could also ruin the fairytale

Sam Burgess is 1 of the best forwards I have seen for a long time

Luke has 50 carry over points which could bite him on the a$$.
On replay it didn't look like he grabbed between the legs and SBW came down on his elbow, not shoulder or head, but will be interesting since he is a kiwi.

Will be interesting to see how S Burgess goes in union.

Agree with all of this.

JWH is a disgrace to the Kiwi jersey, what a filthy grub of a player.
Its a pity too because he started out really strong with some big busts, then came the token brain explosion and off to sleep he went.

Lets go Penrith !

This!

While the ref's didn't affect the outcome of yesterdays game I felt, its no secret which side they were favouring.
A Penrith victory would be an outstanding result for the game.

Watching yesterdays game made me reflect on one thing in particular

These were two very good sides playing a brand of tough intense footy that the Warriors are miles miles behind. We would have lost by 40 to either side

Not sure it would of ment much but was that not a professional foul on the final penalty? Reynolds in the bin?
South's v Dogs grand final that most would of predicted mid season, but not going into the final series.

Dogs were gone about two weeks out from the finals. No one picked them. If TL's field goal had gone over in Cappy's first game would they have even been in the finals? Maybe eighth spot.
