1. so sad to see Bedsey's career end in that fashion. the worst part about it was that for the 10 minutes prior to that hit, he was putting on a masterclass of hard hitting ruck defence. Newcastle were legitimately starting to build pressure on the Roosters thanks to some brilliant Buderus tackles
2. the Roosters played excellently. nothing can take away from that, their play this year has been superb and they completely deserve their place int he Grand Final.
3. what the freaking **** was up with SBW's pass to Napa? How on earth did the referee and touch judge miss that? But what bugged me even more is that Sterlo, Rabbs and Gus kept referring to it as a 'suspect' pass, as if there was some conjecture over whether it was forward or not ... it was a pass that Tom Brady would have been proud of. Stop beating around the bush and just call it forward
