Trying to think which teams have won the premiership the last two years...wait, Brisbane and Melbourne, don't recognise them as Sydney suburbs. Perhaps, the Sydney teams are the ones who make up the numbers...

Isn't that Brisbane side located near Broken Bay. And that Melbourne side a feeder team for Central Coast Storm.

C'arn the Warriors. Would rather travel to Auckland than Cronulla.

in most finals series around the world you usually get a 2nd chance at home ground advantage if you lose first up, for the top sides.

No, in most finals series you don't get a second chance at all. It's an Aussie invention afaics. (And an excellent one too, it brings more meaning to the regular season.)

Hak now has an understanding of rugby league. Probably the only person from Norway as well.

ANZ most likely, as Manly will either play at SFS if Storms lose or ANZ if Storm win.

Talking about Week 2 from a Roosters perspective tbh

That penalty against Kirk was so soft.

Worst penalty I've ever seen tbh, Warriors should win this game tttt. Ref keeping Melbourne in it.

YES! YESSSS! Best game of the season by a margin. Both teams played out of their skins.

Better game than Origin III, better than Brisbane v Parra and better than Melbourne v Manly.

 

[Craig]

Can't believe the Warriors won that. Neither team deserved to lose for mine.

Probably still repeating it right now.

Might buy my tickets for Saturday night now.

****, what a game alright. Can't believe the whole Warriors team stepped up like that. I found myself jumping around & yelling at full-pitch as they broke for that final try

 

[James]

What a game! What a weekend of rugby union/league!

Simply incredible stuff, so fantastic! Absolutely breath taking stuff!

 

[Simon]

So happy with that result as it means we get to meet Melbourne at home rather than what would have been a likely preliminary final against them in Melbourne a week later.
Still going to be a very hard game but I think we have a slightly easier task of winning the comp now.

AWTA. Suncorp to be a sell out I would guess.

Just looking at the predictor thing and it looks like you will be playing us if you win not the Sharks.

I thought the Raiders were gone from the comp now
