NRL 2023 Finals Week 1 Discussion

[Super Freak]

How are you going for Raiders?

It’ll shut Johns up.

Knights look like the Aldi version of the Broncos. All across the park on a head to head basis I'd pick the Bronco over the Knights player.

Totally agree, I said a couple of weeks ago that it seems like AOB was peeking at Walter's home work. Just don't have the skill /youth/energy/reyno to pull it off like us

Eliminates Ponga from our side of the draw

Player resting may have backfired on this one.

Basically gave his whole squad a bye last week and may have killed the momentum they had built up.

A bit like the Warriors, they've had a relatively soft run in and it is showing. Both teams have had a false sense of going better than they actually have been.

Newcastle haven't respected the ball or their opponent

More like they have been reading their own press.

I think knights form was pretty accurate... they've had some tough teams to play and have piled points on against teams that didn't turn up.

Warriors have had a soft draw coming into the finals and struggled to put their opponents away in pretty much every game.

O'brien is known for a spray. Time to use it. Playing with no intensity. You can always tell from a teams first set of defence and line speed whether they are into a game. Raiders made 60m.

Newcastle aren't in it, Canberra can't just fall off, surely..

The look on Ricky's face would be amazing. Lets hope.

Two of the tries have been through a drop ball of a hit up and a short drop out that young was knocked over. Newcastle play with any actual intensity I think they still run over them.

Been 60% possession against and only at a 10pt lead so far.

Game not over at the moment, but knights will need to start showing something.

If we get Pete Badel in there asking the hard questions, it could be one of the all time great pressers, if Canberra lose from here that is..

Hasting gone

I don't want to see anymore of Ricky

Hasting gone

Massive risk playing him gone horribly wrong.

In any case, it really does look like teams playing for the right to be belted in either of the prelims. All the teams left are banged up and running on fumes.

What odds Hetherington gets 10 mins or more
