NRL 2K17 - Boncos star on drug charges

[mxlegend99]

Boyd out.
Moylan out.

Kinda even each other out.

Broncos have a shitload more experience still though. Benji. Marshall and Hunt each individually have more experience than Edwards, May and Cleary combined.

[Madmya]

Yeah I'm disappointed Boyd won't be playing. Brisbane can't afford to play completely retarded again on Friday night.

[Peppermint Lounge]

Where are they playing?

[Peppermint Lounge]

Checked. Good fortune for Brisbane to get a home final after losing the week before. What's Penrith's record like up there?

[Peppermint Lounge]

Checked. Brisbane won four of the past five at Lang but Penrith have won four of the most recent six. Griffin seemingly has the wood over Bennett.

[mxlegend99]

Well Panthers have only met Broncos twice in the finals. They won both times.

But our teams were a hell of a lot better than this one. We have a ridiculously young side. Obviously they are extremely talented but not many of them have played in a game this big before.

Infact outside of Tamou, Wallace and Merrin this would probably be the biggest game of all their careers. Broncos in Brisbane will have an Origin like crowd behind them. Going to be a huge factor I think.

[Candy Arse]

Don't forget the NRL wants the Boncos to win so expect a lot of home cooking...

[mxlegend99]

Plus after the controversy last week they will justify it as square ups.

Nevermind Matthew Wright punching DWZ in the mouth and not getting penalised or binned for it. A sin binning would have put them out of the game earlier.

Hard to see Panthers having much hope tonight. But I think the crowd will be the biggest factor against us. Those kids havent been hated by 40,000 fans before and I think that will put them off.

[Madmya]

We're at home and I think everyone would much prefer to see Broncos vs Storm than Panthers vs Storm. I'm expecting favourable calls from the referee too

I'm nervous about tonight. Pressure is on us, none on the Panthers. We should win in a canter, but I've just got no idea what Broncos team will turn up anymore. If we defend well I think we win comfortably.

It's been a tough year for our spine, constantly chopping and changing due to injury.

[stanard]

It's been a pretty damned tough year for our spine too, and not just injury related

[Madmya]

Ha, yeah probably the last supporters to complain about injury to are Penrith supporters. Do we think Moylan tried to play this week bit was denied?

[Madmya]

Marshall can't kick his dog up the bum tonight.

[Madmya]

That's got to be one of the worst officiated games of rugby league I've ever seen. From Brisbane's very first defensive set the refs allowed them to lie all over Penrith without a penalty and it set the scene for a slow and boring as fuck game of footy.

The deliberate penalty within the 20m is also a massive blight on the game, again the refs should be have been threatening Brisbane with the bin and didn't. A fast game of football suits Brisbane, we shouldn't be playing that sort of trash.

[Madmya]

Having said that, really happy with the win in trying circumstances. Bring on Melbourne!

[stanard]

Yep, was shit.

Go Parra I guess?

[Madmya]

Parra have struggled in games they should win. Go Cowboys!

[Candy Arse]

Don't forget the NRL wants the Boncos to win so expect a lot of home cooking...

And there you have it. The NRL wanted a Broncos/Storm final, and they made sure they got one.

Unquestionably the most undeserving preliminary finals team in at least a decade. Congrats Melbourne on making another Grand Final.

[Madmya]

What was the tackle count inside the opposition's 20m? Last I saw it was 32 to 6 in favour of Penrith. Given the game was low scoring, they had plenty of opportunities to win.

[Candy Arse]

So if the Eels lose this game, which is likely, where would this rate in the pantheon of legendary Eels finals losses?

[Candy Arse]

Oh shit this is actually happening

[Candy Arse]

OH MY GOD ANOTHER EELS FINALS CHOKE

[Madmya]

That was fucking classic! Parra had nothing!

[Madmya]

Parra have struggled in games they should win. Go Cowboys!

[mxlegend99]

2005 is still the king of chokes.

Dragons and Eels fighting to out choke each other.

[Madmya]

2001 is king, surely.
