2023 NRL Finals General Discussion thread *Spoilers*

[Todd Packer]

Not saying Wighton is innocent but a mark on the arm doesn't equate to a bite. If you push your arm against teeth, the teeth will leave a mark. I think he will probably be found guilty but not as simple a case as what the fox comms are saying it is.

He admitted he did it to the ref.
Rumpole of the Bailey couldn't get him off

no he didnt. He said something along the lines of (cant recall exact words)...he had his arm in my mouth and was pushing down on the back of my head. What am i supposed to do? i cant move where my mouth is.
Look, I think he is probably guilty. I'm just not certain of it and don't know how the fox commentators could be so certain.

Now. We can all get some sleep. Thank You Greg.

We need to take into account the character of both players concerned

 

[gallagher]

I reckon Gamble was offside when he charged down fogartys attempt in the first half of extra time. No penalty given. Consistency is non existent.

If javelin to have another look. But Hudson was like 4 mtrs offside. You can't make it obvious to the ref. Stupid

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Lol no chance

Either way, team that was looking bottom 4 is now playing for a spot in the big dance. Well done to them.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Newcastle to win the comp?

lol

Also Wests Tigers players

It was good to see Ricky talking up his team the way he did.
He is proud of them and rightly so.
They’ve done really well this year without a superstar.
If our side put in like his does, this place would contain a very different atmosphere.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Wighton is a super star isn't he?

 

[Tucker]

Wighton is a super star isn't he?

No. He’s a star, but I wouldn’t bet on him to win me the big games

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Time will tell. South's next year.

Win too much money and they will ban your account they only want losers lol

Wests Tigers supporters welcomed with open arms.

Wests Tigers supporters welcomed with open arms.

Not if you bet for Wests Tigers to win wooden spoon in 2024. They will ban you also.

I never bet against the Tigers but I also never bet they will win 🤣

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

I never bet against the Tigers but I also never bet they will win 🤣

Hmmmm. Line bets? Otherwise how do you do it.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Looking like a Penrith v Brisbane GF but if Johnson is back can see the Warriors getting past Newcastle and historically they have played well against the Broncos in Brisbane.

Could make the GF.

Shame Metcalf isn't available.

 

[earl]

How good is rugby leegue

Seeing Ponga play like that was special.

I've done this. I apologized afterwards and said I think I bit you and there were small teeth marks. The guy didn't react at all. I assume because I didn't bite him.

I also think if you bite someone and I mean really bite you'd take a chunk out of them.

 

[Tucker]

You make your own luck as they say....
They've certainly had some to get them where they're at.

Yes they have, but they’ve also played tough and hung in games long enough for that luck to appear and more often than not, they seized it and made it work for them.
They are a resilient squad.
