finals week 1

[fletch]

has there been any speculation on the finals timeslots, I'm assuming that Channel 9 will want the Broncos on Friday night, so that should lock our game into the Friday timeslot.

[Johnny Tobin]

99% will be Friday because Swans are on the next day.

[stringaz]

God if we could just bring our composure and execution to the semis it would be great. Apart from penalties, I think we may be passing a bit too much. I don't think I've screamed the word paitence so much in my life.

[redrooster]

It will either be Friday or Saturday. I think Friday as the Storm play later tonight & channel 9 love the Broncos on Friday.

Yes. The NRL will want the Broncos on Friday Night.

[easts4eva]

If we play with the same composure and execution as we did today well be fine.

[King Salvo]

Friday Night will be Roosters vs Bronco's - Manly are giving it to Penrith currently - 28 to 0 after 64 Minutes - a real bogey side of ours is Manly- Penrith were plus 61 /Cows plus 24(having played ) and Manly plus 24- all on 30 - Dragon on 28 plus 89 with a game in hand vs Dogs- a real dog fight for 6/7/8 - Sharks should beat the Knights currently on 32 plus 61. - Manly will be 6th one would say unless their is some Panther miracle revival - Sharks 5th - with Penrith/Cows/Dragons to fight out 7 and 8th

A story about a possible rift at the Panthers doing the rounds - apparently Moylan wants a release and not happy campers(players) with the coach

[fletch]

kind of hope we don't run into Manly again in the finals, when they are on, they have the pace/power that we would have trouble matching, as we have already found out a couple of times this year.

They are a worry.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Whatever the NRL decides in terms of next week i just hope that we don't end up with that muppet Cummins and his touchie mate wearing that stupid cap today.
So many of their decisions this afro were disgraceful.

[King Salvo]

Manly won 28-12 meaning they will finish 6th on 32 - Penrith either 7th or 8th finish on 30 / Cows either 8th or 9th finish on 30 /Dragons either 7th or 9th -win they finish 7th on 30 and lose 9th on 28

So week 1
Friday
2-Roosters vs 3-Brisbane

Saturday

1st game ??
2nd game ??

Sunday
Only game ?


1-Storm vs 4-Parra - I think will be either the 2nd Saturday game(7:30pm) or the Sunday day game

Other games(5 vs 8 and 6 vs 7) to be decided- depending on Dragons result - Dragons win they finish 7th lose 9th -If Dragons win Penrith finish 8th - If Dragons Lose Penrith finish 7th - If Dragons win Cows finish 9th - If Dragons lose Cows finish 8th

5 vs 8 - either 5-Sharks vs Panthers or Cows
6 v 7 - either 6-Manly vs Penrith or Dragons

[Mickie Lane]

I think if there is going to be an upset in week 1 it will be Parra beating the Storm.

Prefer them to Sharks.

Apparently theres is no AFL in Melbourne next Saturday night. So I understand that to maximize the crowd the NRL want the Cheats playing their game during the 7:30pm Saturday timeslot
