NSW Cup GRAND FINAL - Bulldogs v Windsor - 12pm Sun @ ANZ

[Timmah]

That's right, we're gonna be there on Sunday!

12:00pm, Dogs v Windsor in NSW Cup. We're going for back to back titles after the Bankstown Bulls (run by the 'Dogs) won it in '09. No Benny Barba this year but plenty of first grade firepower.

The team for last weekend should give us a hint of what to expect from the lineup:

1. TRENT CUTLER 2. HEKA NANAI 3. SHANE NEUMANN 4. DANIEL RAUICAVA 5. JUNIOR TIA-KILIFI 6. RHYS JACK 7. JOSH REYNOLDS 8. BRAD MORRIN 9. NATHAN SMITH 10. TIM BROWNE 11. YILEEN GORDON 12. COREY PAYNE 13. DANNY WILLIAMS
INTERCHANGE: 14. KOSE LELEI 15. DANIEL HARRISON 16. HARLAN ALAALATOA 17. CONRAD TAAKIMOEAKA

No Jarrad Hickey?

 

[Bulldog Force]

I don't think he's eligible. You need to play x amount of games otherwise any team can just throw their first grade roster onto there.

I'm not sure how that works, though. Because Corey Payne only played 1 game in NSW Cup and 1 in first grade before returning to NSW Cup for the finals.

WELL DONE BOYS! Should be a great match. Two sides packed with NRL players.

 

[Timmah]

Matt, I believe it's about a minimum of NRL games, not NSW Cup. Not sure.

You're right - if you play x amount of FG games, you'll be considered as a regular member of the first grade team. If you play fewer than x amount of games, you are eligible to play NSW cup - I just don't know the exact figure.

 

[BM-dog]

I believe it's 50% of first grade games but I could be wrong. Helpfully the NSWRL doesn't have the eligibility rules on its site.

Hickey didnt play that many games in FG this year

Teams in there. Some solid Penrith players in the Windsor lineup too.

thats a pretty decent side the windsor panthers have

 

[MatthewA]

Both great sides.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Oh Crap. The magician Earl is in there too

 

[Ridders]

Bring it home boys!

 

[Timmah]

Not a lot of coverage of this one in the lead-up.

Let's just hope it's not like 08 with the extra time double :lol:

 

[Ridders]

Looking good so far

Up 16-0 in second half

 

[Ridders]

Congrats guys.

Deserved winners in a scrap of a game.

 

[Timmah]

WOO HOO! Premiers back to back! Well done boys!!!!!! They were truly stoked on the lap honour and there were at least 100-200 dogs fans there soaking (literally) it up.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Congratulations Bulls/Bulldogs - bringing the proud family club another piece of silverware Back 2 back Premiers. Good to see we salvaged something from what was otherwise a pretty disappointing year.

As a side note, some really exciting young pups yesterday were showing that they're ready for the big time. Good to see we have some prospects ready to step up if need be. Bring on 2011...

A great win. Back to back baby

Highlight of the day: Corey Payne laying out that thug Maurice Blair and breaking his jaw.

It was great because iirc Blair actually threw the first punch, but was way off. Payne was right on the money.
