NRL Round Discussion 2025 NRL Grand Final

[WAH MAN]

So my call every GF because we aren't in it is.......

Up the refs. Everyone else can get stuffed. Blow a hundred and fourteen penalties and send Grant, Papi, Hughes, Herman and Eli to the bin and let Reecey, Patty, Haasy, Reyno and not Pork trotters Hunt for HIA's.

Wow I'm really good at talking rubbish but it's because I don't actually speak Grand Final that well.

 

[regenerated borg]

Big Reason I don’t like the Storm is that they still claim to have 6 prems too- the arrogance of displaying their stripped premierships as if everyone would forget. Weren’t they a Murdoch team for most of their existence too?

Yes, Newscorp did own them.. but since 2013 a private consortium does who've won 2 titles... the storm won 4 with Newscorp 2 were stripped. Now you know why I won't back anyteam Newscorp owns...

 

[Mr Drag]

I'm conflicted, the fascists or the toilet drinkers... I don't know.
Still hurts seeing Eli Katoa winning trophies, he should still be ours if we hadn't fucked up his development. Gutting.

Something tells me he will come back to retire

 

[WAH MAN]

Kind of a lose-lose situation with this grand final, both sets of fans are pretty shit but I guess Broncs will be at least some change from the boring Panthers/Storm show. Crazy to think it’s been nearly 20years since Brisbane last won

Glad we're not doing a cross thread forum with broncos hq.

Damn. I can't wait to win the premiership so I can be insufferable. Not normal every year insufferable. Like because we win and have a right to gloat well beyond our achievements. Like greatest of all time rubbish talk.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Must be nice to wake up GF morning with the excitement/anticipation of your team being in the big show.

Damn have only experienced that 2 mornings in 24 years!......c'mon boys....in our lifetime....please

Anyway time to dig out my old Bronco's jersey......teams changed a bit since i used to follow them but go the donkeys!

 

[Po11um]

Go the storm. Let's do this

 

[WAH MAN]

Couldn't give a rats rectum about this GF. Best games of the finals have already been played in Penrith's first half demolition job and Brisbane's comebacks against Cambra and Pemriff.

And Teddy Swims doesn't do it for me. It's about as entertaining as doof doof.

Only interested in Cup v Bearsies

The NRL have lost the plot with that opening Disney style homo erotic montage.

Hard rock or Gangsta rap is the go....what do we get? I love Lucy
and men hugging up close sprayed with droplets in slow mow.

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

Along with the roosters these are the bottom 3 teams would want to see lift the trophy.

storm are last though. Yah brenkos I guess. I don’t resent walshy and haas is impressive. Maguire did a good job for the kiwis

 

[Warriors55]

The Storm should win. Brisbane would have to play excellent for most of the game and Storm would have to be below their best for Brisbane to win. Brisbane need to dominate up front otherwise the Storm have too much class and composure.

That spine of Paps, Grant, Munster and Hughes rivals their peak of Slater, Smith, Munster, Cronk. Not quite as good but very close.

Brisbane's spine is very good as well but probably only Walsh would make it into the Melbourne spine.

Storm by 6
Clive Churchill - Will probably by one of Grant, Munster, Hughes, Paps. Would go for Grant or Munster

 

[Warriors55]

These two teams I have always supported when the Warriors are out. But I hope Melbourne wins. More Kiwi's in their 17 as well.

But if Brisbane win that would be good as well, to see Ben Hunt get his redemption.

Love GF day. but the entertainment is shit. just put up with some terrible Aussie bimbo singing John Denver. As Aussie Osbourne would say 'Play some rock1"

She couldn't hold a tune

 

[Wrighty]

Teddy Swims will kill it later

 

[tajhay]

The prematch entertainment selected for each footy code demographics is messed up. We should have got snoop and afl got country singer and teddy swims.

 

[Ref]

I really liked Reece Walsh when he played for the Wahs.
Tried hard and was mostly our lone attacking threat.
Arthurs whilst 18th man also played for us in those Covid years.
I’m always for the underdog.
The return of Carrigan is huge.

Walsh was crap for the wahs. wouldn't tackle. how many tries did he let in by not trying to stop someone running at him. was glad to see the little tosser leave.

Yeah that was odd for a country western artist.

She started well, the opening notes were nice and her tone was on point.

Just don't understand how you make a career as a live artist in a competitive genre like that and go flat?

The NRL have been plugging country roads and sweet Caroline all year, (so out of touch without English fans singing to make it make sense).

He was both good and bad for us. I think some people have rose tinted glasses when remembering things. You could tell he would become elite with time. But he did have defensive lapses and bombed some tries while he was here.

It seems clear that he was always going to go back to the Broncos and we were almost used in a way to give him a taste of first grade and some decent coin until the Broncos had an opening and the coin to take him back.

He pretty much got his body in front of attackers most of the time fighting a losing battle.
It’s not like he didn’t try.
