blue and gold electric eels on fire

Great game and what a good team to watch Parra are.

Moi Moi caused no end of problems after his early game batterings and Hayne was supreme with ball in hand(if abit poor without it).

Top stuff.

moimoi was about half a second away from receiving the ball. had hindmarsh not pass/lost the ball, then i think play on would have been the call. it was only because the tackle stopped moimoi from having any chance of taking in the ball that it was a penalty (not that moimoi would have particularly wanted the pass, had hospital ball written all over it)

I thought Hayne's 40/20 was fair. I was down that end and it looked to go into touch 5m out. Didn't think it was controversial at all, but TV angles may make for a different story.

That hit off the ball.....I have no problems with it.

If someone wants to run hard at the defense, ball or not, they have to expect to get smashed!

The defense can't disappear and they can't just allow themselves to be bowled over either!



Thing is....they all celebrated......WTF!

NRL: Grand Final
Followers of 15-a-side won't want to miss this very special rugby union match: the all-important season finale for Australia and New Zealand's world-leading premier division.

oh dear

I metioned it in the other thread the other day. It does not surprise me.

They are probably not allowed to put the real NRL description in print or on the TV until after the watershead.

Dont deserve to be allowed to show the great sport when they aint got a bloody clue about it.

completely agree, If you stick yourself in the defensive line, especially as a potential receiver, you gotta take the knocks.
