Finals Week 1 Discussion

[Big Pete]

Broncos finally get it right and while it wasn't smooth, Barr uses his brute force out-wide to score.

 

[Big Pete]

There's Adams big problem - his hands.

That was a bad drop there, Brisbane had the Eels on the ropes right there.

 

[Big Pete]

Yep, these captain's challenge are absolute BS.

And it costs Brisbane a try right away.

 

[Big Pete]

Great kick from Taylor there to set Nikorima up.

 

[Big Pete]

Ahhh! Barr could have won the game there. A real do or die pass from Berrell from dummy half and Barr just spilled it under the pressure of Lavaka jamming in.

 

[Big Pete]

Now Parra go the length of the field but I'm sure there was a forward pass in the lead up.

 

[Big Pete]

Soft try there.

Tanginoa just ran straight through Taylor there and wow that absolutely sucks for the Broncos - they defended well right up until that play.

 

[Broncoman]

What time does the Storm V Bulldogs kick off? Big League says coverage starts at 3.30 but I just want to make sure.

3:30 it is.

 

[Big Pete]

Ipswich and Wynnum will be far more entertaining anyways.

22 all at the moment.

Last night the Pride beat the Tigers 8-7

 

[Big Pete]

Great play there from the Seagulls.

Thought Granville killed them running on the 4th but Seamark was able to get the pass on and they had the numbers out-wide for Bowie to score.

28-22 Seagulls

3 and a half to go.

 

[Big Pete]

Omg...

So instead of just winding the clock down with no time left with a penalty goal.

Wynnum decide to take a quick tap and go for the try.

Thankfully Buckett finds Bowie on the half volley and he scores in the corner to rub some salt into the Jets wounds.

Now Granville converts from the sideline. Why didn't we hand him the boot?!

34-22 Seagulls but it was anybody's game until the strip from the Seagulls which gifted them the opportunity to take it from the Jets.

With that we say goodbye to Ipswich for 2014.

And one of the better stories in Rugby League. The Walker Bros. have generated a lot of hype amongst the Queensland Rugby League community with their innovative and fast-paced style of footy. Hopefully they can keep it up in 2015.

Meanwhile Easts meet Wynnum once again in the Grand Final Qualifyer in what should be a beauty.

 

[Super Freak]

This crowd at the Melbourne game looks pretty poor so far..

Hopefully it picks up. The crowds this week haven't been great.

 

[Super Freak]

Ref called held, Storm dragged the player back about 10 metres and no penalty...

 

[Super Freak]

Storm are soft in the middle. If Bulldogs offload in the middle, they can gain easy ground.

 

[Big Pete]

The Dogs mean business early.

Melbourne have to weather this storm. I reckon this is just a front and if they can get through this period, they'll catch the Dogs out.

 

[Super Freak]

Eastwood scores!

That was nice work.

 

[Big Pete]

There's the points the Dogs have been working for.
