LIVE GAME 2026 NRL Grand Final discussion

Newcastle's errors in the first half took them out of the equation. Far too much possession to the chooks and it took it out of the Knights. Young and Marzhew did not put in GF performances.

I never said I wasn't going to support them … I said don’t assume why.
Does that make enough sense for you?

Thats correct. By the way, my post was untended to be light hearted and deliberately over the top as a clear underdog verse tall poppy banter

Talk about setting the cat amongst the pigeons KS

Dont know if im to old, and seeing things that dont exist, but when Marky got that ball back, then kicked it straight away regained it and scored the try,

I was sure I saw the ball come in contact with another rooster player who was lying on the ground in front Of Marky when he kicked it, and it contacted his right hand,
Ɓut try given, not looked at.

Did anyone else notice this,
Or am I going nuts.

I mentioned it to my son at the time but we didn't get too many replays of it to study it more closely.

 

[hank37w]

Yes, I definitely thought at the time that it was a knock on or at least unintentional off side.

Surely we are not the only 2 that thought it.

It looks like it.

Ah Dennis, looks can be deceiving.

They just don't want to admit that we are right. 🤣

 

[Odessa]

The problem is that Roosters Storm and Broncos pay Aldi prices, we pay Myer and David Jones prices.

I don't think they pay less at all I think they all get there fill they just act like they do to cheat the Cap easier

I thought it looked like he had kicked it into another rooster but didnt get another replay

I thought it was off his right foot onto his left foot.

I thought it was off his right foot onto his left foot.

That's how I saw it

 

[innsaneink]

Yeh..kicked it twice
Nothings ever straighforward with this bloke

Nope.
He shanked it off his shin then kicked with his other foot to straighten it.
Brilliant play.

Everyone always says he's arsey but I'd argue if you're arsey the luck runs out at some point, it never does for him.

Easts will be much poorer without him next year.

Yes he drops the ball to kick,
But first attempt comes off right shin then kicks with left foot it then touches fingers on right hand of rooster player who had originally batted ball back to Marky,
And he was still laying on the ground in front of Marky Mark when he kicked it with left foot.
