NRL 2023 + Internationals

Gunner

Canberra wasted a couple of opportunities to go for a dropped goal in that first 5 minutes of extra time.

bayimports

Yep, entertaining to watch although I am not sure how the biter remained on the field with those marks as clear as day.

Knights move on to NZ

African Monkey

Great game, one of the finals classics. Still couldn't believe Wighton got away with a blatant bite at Gamble.

Great performance from the Raiders considering no one gave them a hope in hell before the game.

mariner4life

That was as good a game of football as ypu will ever watch. Just brilliant from both teams

Looks like Newcastle played their final last week.

Warriors carving them up.

bayimports

they are not dead yet, anyone who has watched many warriors games will know, we can only make those comments after final whistle ๐Ÿ™‚

Nepia

I missed the first two tries as I thought kick off time was Oz time. :man_facepalming_medium-dark_skin_tone:

bayimports

possession evening up looks a different game

Crazy Horse

The old Warriors would find a way to lose from here. Hopefully this team is different.

ACT Crusader

If you are watching the channel 9 coverage, they are so gunning for a Knights win. Didnโ€™t realise how much man love they have with Ponga. Sheesh he makes a regulation pass and itโ€™s the best thing since sliced bread.

bayimports

Well Warriors have a record of blowing 12 point leads, so Newcastle getting up not out of the question. Wont be watching 9 unless forced

mariner4life

Fuck this is tense!! Better start than I could have hoped for. Then 20 minutes of holding on.

We are still up. We're playing bloody well, we need to embrace the grind, get our linespeed back, and stop losing the territory battle

Donsteppa

Reverting to traditional form at the moment...

Can we get Tyson to play 6 for the ABs please? He's really fucking good

Tohu is a good size for a 6 - pity he played in the midfield in rugby.

bayimports

big try that one..Berry played really well today, good reward for that finish

taniwharugby

leagues interpretation of a shoulder charge/attempted wrap is poles apart from rugby

taniwharugby

surely you'd get SJ into an ice bath

KiwiMurph

Brisbane is gonna be pumping next weekend with Broncos Warriors and Lions Carlton

bayimports

I would probably get Tohu off now and play with 12 if I had too lol

Stag

With a performance like this in the biggest game of the year why the hell are they letting Sirinon go???

Donsteppa

Great night for the Mount Smart faithful.

ACT Crusader

The big question is how many kiwis will be able to get a ticket to Suncorp before all the Brisbane Bogans get them.

Going to be epic.

Hopefully all the faithful got tickets and the fairweather fans didn't snap them up.

mariner4life

Fuck that was awesome
Watched at home with my neighbour who is a Knights fan
Carried on like and absolute pork chop but had gun

What a fucking night!!!

taniwharugby

@Nepia my brother has had season tickets for years and years...he also went to Aus to watch them last week, not sure he'll be going next week...

Oh the poor bastard, I only had to take a train trip to watch that abomination.

I'm weighing up whether to go to Brisbane or to just wait and try snap up a GF ticket once we win.

canefan

Was at the game,

Oh what a night, watching the warriors on a Saturday night, knights just lost because they're fooken shite ๐Ÿ˜„

Seriously though, I was very nervous about the Knights especially as they were on a massive streak. Amazing start but we went flat in the final 15 of the first half and made basic mistakes. I was very worried when they scored early in the half, but that seemed to fire the boys up. What a sight seeing SJ soak up the crowd love a few minutes from the end, as did Tohu and Webster. What an epic game

mariner4life

How. Fucking. Good!!!

Awesome start. Then under the pump. And yet we blow them out? Who even is this team?

Love them. Looking in to Brisbane tickets as we speak

interesting one this, really versatile squad player and can fill in multiple roles, but master of none probably cost him.

bayimports

Great listening to SJ post match too, very relaxed and the calf isn't bad at all which is a good sign for next week
