2020 Finals Week 1 - Other Team Lists and Game Discussion

[Cook]

Do we need any more proof defense is out the window in the modern game? 29-28.

There was some absolutely brilliant defence tonight. Great try savers on the line. That’s the best product the game can produce.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Hopefully rorters get Canberra wk 2 and go out in straight sets

Yeah I hate it give me forwards winning semi's with brutal defence any day. Not a fan of the 6 again rule.

I reckon the Chooks and Parra will go out in straight sets.

How does it get any more brutal than that. Did I watch a different game??

 

[Northern Beaches dog]

To win a comp, you need luck.
Injuries and bounce of the ball.
Both of those are on the Panthers side.

 

[Roll the Bones]

I reckon the Chooks and Parra will go out in straight sets.

I still can't believe parrascum finished 3rd. Without their ref-assisted wins, they'd be lucky to make the 8.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

I reckon inexperience will cost the Panthers when they come up against a team like Cam Smith and the Storm.

It nearly cost them tonight. Will tonight's scare teach them some important lessons? Or will they just focus on thriving on confidence? Odds are their sudden death game will be against the Storm, and could well be without Kikau.

Yup, loved the intent and line speed from the Pantsers defense in the last minute too

Cost them how? They fought back from 10-0 down. Nailed the field goal with one attempt, there play was textbook. Roosters beat anyone else tonight.

Thought both teams played hard as. Was some great defensive efforts tonight. Really enjoyed watching it

They were a bit slack with chooks try to Teddy, and Naden's play on the kickoff was daft, I've interpreted both as inexperience. Also a general observation they were clearly the dominant team for 70 minutes of the match and yet ended up winning by just 1 point against a much more experienced but out of sorts team. The difference between the 1 point win they got and a 12 or 18 point win more representative of what we saw on the field was experience.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Tonight we saw:

one rorted team over the cap

and one team who is majority made up of juniors

 

[Trafford10]

With this six again rule the referees can dictate who wins games even more.

We all know Chris Sutton is either corrupt or totally incompetent.

The knock back / knock on calls tonight I couldn't follow.
Penrith scored a try when a ball was lost in a tackle. Maybe technically it did go backwards but lost balls have been called as a knock on all season and forever.

Refereeing standards are the biggest blight on the game.

Maybe. I wouldn’t say inexperience though. Penrith played almost perfect today. It’s just the roosters we’re also on. Roosters line speed and overall general play was extremely high tempo. Be interesting to see how they go next week after that one.

Who are they likely to play, Raiders?

Unless Peptide Sharks start playing now, Chooks will play Canberra next week.

No SJ and sharon is the leader of the pack they are screwed lol

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Unless Peptide Sharks start playing now, Chooks will play Canberra next week.

No Johnson, can't see it, so very likely the Raiders. Could be a good game, revenge of the green machine? There would be nearly as many NRL followers who would cheer on a chooks straight set exit as cheered on a bonkos wooden spoon. Great stuff for the neutrals.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Oldcastle to beat souffs

Canberra will walk past the sharts

Parra will do the unthinkable and beat storm but lose to panthers in the final
