I would be in favour of just having a top 4 finals series.

Semi final and then GF.

The two games from the bottom 4 teams have been bludgers. Not finals worthy.

Yep watching Penrith and Brisbane destroy 3rd and 4th would have been much more enjoyable for a neutral than today's nail biter.

Sharks did everything they could to lose that game. There were two moments that stood out.

In the 54th minute Sharks attack down the short side on the left, Mulitalo puts in a kick back in-field and Brailey makes a complete meal of it trying to grab the ball knocking it on over the try line.

Then in their next set with the ball, they're in the attacking zone and Sharks have the Roosters shot on the left but Brailey goes right instead and Tracey throws a cut out pass to Ramien who loses it.

Sharks should have had the game wrapped up at that point, but instead they fail to do so and Roosters come back to win the game.

5 on 2/3 smh

Freaky just wants to cut to the chase, Penrith/Brisbane GF next week.

There's still a chance that'll be jeopardised.

Rapana's "Noooo" and subsequent spit bubble was pretty funny

Gif?

Bite, or Gamble forcing his arm into his mouth? Which is what the argument will be in the judiciary.

 

[Midean]

**** it looks bad.

 

[Fitzy]

It looks bad but Tyson is putting heaps of pressure into his mouth. You never know. I think it’s an intentional bite but I think the refs dealt with it correctly either way they would have either fan base screaming murder I think it was just easiest to say it could go either way we will let the judiciary determine the punishment if necessary.

100%.

Let someone else review that nonsense.
Cant prove beyond a doubt its a bite in the moment, so wouldnt be fair to do anything more than put it on report.

That being said i too think it was an intentional bite and should mean he will miss the entire first month of the season with Souths.

I'm pretty sure Gamble was offside on Fogarty's last FG attempt just quietly.

From the scrum? He was at the feed of the scrum, so right next to the ref, not offside.

 

[BroncosFever]

If Ricky were a professional boxer, he would be raking it in..

Everyone who isn't a Raiders' fan want to see him blow up at the press conference

 

[Foordy]

Wighton referred straight to the judiciary for biting

Pretty disgraceful that he was allowed to stay on the field. The precedent has already been set (twice) this year, but he's an origin blues player and it's a finals game so.........reasons.
