On the whole hating Bulldogs thing I somewhat agree with everything that has been said.

Except, I've started softening to them this year, not as many controversies, but I still hate there dog of a fans.

 

[Blewy]

i have a feeling, that this game could be a anti-climax....

Something is telling me the eels could win this comfortably, so im gonna go Eels 13+ @ $4

 

[Mister Wright]

Good news for Eels fans. Since the finals have begun every game I've tipped bar the Broncos games I've got wrong so far. First week - Manly, Knights & Dragons, 2nd week - Titans. Only the Broncos' wins for me. I'm hoping that continues this week, so I'll be as nervous as hell tomorrow if Bulldogs win.

For those South of the border, I've tipped the Dogs.

3 beers in and the atmosphere is building

Tigers tearing the Dragons a new one in the Toyota Cup, Wooohoooo will have someone to support on GF day

 

[Johnners]

Well there goes Parra's season imo, win or lose tonight.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Glad I stayed home to watch this. What a start!

Two players belted and a potential 8 point try to start. If Parra win and Hayne's out next week though it'll be disappointing.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Jarryd Hayne...




EDIT: and Jarryd Hayne

Parra all over Canterbury for so long...and then the Dogs score. Burgey must be ropeable. Although at the rate Canterbury are going they'll have noone left by the 50 minute mark. Pity Hannant's not double-jointed.

Well done Parra, deserved that.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Well done Parra, deserved that.

Yeah they were very good. Some of the attacking play was unbelieveable. Just hope Hayne's not out next week.

 

[Burgey]

Woo hoo. Get that up ya you dirty Dog ****s!
What a game. Honestly, both sides were immense

 

[Burgey]

Fui for PM.

 

[Mister Wright]

It will be an anxious few days for Parra fans waiting on the result of the Hayne report. I still reckon the other guy put on report has more to worry about.

 

[Ausage]

Just hope Hayne's not out next week.

No way in hell Hayne will be out next week. The NRL won't be without it's leading light on Grand Final day just because of an errant knee to someone's head.

Happy for Parra. They threw the ball around and it payed off for them. Really thought the Dogs were going to grind it out after Parra had all the points but were still behind at halftime. Parra kept coming back though, and fair play to them. Feel horrible for the Bulldogs mate I went with though. He's horrified by the scum that tarnish the supporter base by rioting in the stands (there were a fair few ejections at the Dogs end tonight).

Pretty happy I made it home with my skin all things considering tbh.

Cheered bigtime when smoking Joe Galuvao put the ball down. Carn the Panthers connection!!

 

[Ausage]

Fui for PM.

Fui was gun. He just bounces off the big hits and keeps coming back for more. Fui sick.

A joke if Hayne gets suspended IMO.

Anyone who has played the game/watched the game knows that when a winger is going for a try like that down low, of course sometimes you slide across to stop him - sometimes you slide with your knees first, other times with your feet first. It happens so damn quickly especially on a slippery surface. There was no intent there to knee the guy in the head, and that's the only time you should rub a man out of a Grand Final - when there is intent.

 

[howardj]

Go Broncos by the way.

Rip their heads off. lol

 

[Burgey]

Can you hear the Bulldogs sing?
No, no!
Can you hear the Bulldogs sing?
I can't hear a ****ing thing!
No! No! No!

 

[Burgey]

Apparently if Hayne gets a grade 1 he's right as he has no carruy overs.

Only thing Keating has going for him is it wasn't a classic twisting motion on the ground. Might be able to say the force of the tackle caused the twisting. Will need a bit of luck though.
