Finals series 2017 *Spoilers

@ said:
The Sharks got some real dusty calls, but they are a negative and grubby team and probably deserved to get beaten. How gutsy are the Cows

There were dud calls on both sides - one of the worst displays of refereeing i have seen this year. Most of the bad calls resulted in points to the other side which made it worse.
 
How does Fifi get away playing the ball like he does - i'm pretty much over league - its become a joke. I watch the odd game but i am no longer an avid follower of the sport.

Sharks presser is a classic

Flanagan should be fined 10K for being the biggest sook of the year :laughing:

When you get rorted in round 1 to 26 you might let fly at the ref,but in a knock out semi when there is no tomorrow, you graciously congrats the other side and save your spray for another day because you can't change a thing and it comes over as sour grapes.

Let's face ,teams at the bottom cop crap calls and plenty of them week in and week out based on the perception they are a bottom team, so Iam glad the big boys are now getting the same treatment

I mostly watch every game every weekend if I can. The play the balls these days are a joke , it's touch footy at its best .. the defending side hardly stand a chance of getting to marker as the game is so quick …it's my pet hate with the game at the moment !

Fifita is going to be a fat slob 10 years after he retires.

I didn't realise he retired 10 years ago….

Very true he was buggered out there the last 10 of regular time….the cowboys exploited him brilliantly. Bad coaching by Flannigan right there having the big lump out there.

Comparing that dope to Artie Beetson was ridiculous. I reckon he is very overrated and wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes back when front rowers were the real enforcers. His last play earlier tonight was comical.
 
Hehehehe Flanagan, what a blouse! That press conference was a beauty. Would make a brilliant Kleenex ad.
Well done to the Cows, a real gutsy win.

Ah well, the drug cheats are gone at least. Now next weekend we have the Panthers playing the unofficial salary cap cheats for the right to play the original and best salary cap cheats in one prelim final, and the Cowboys playing another official salary cap cheat for the right to play another of the NRL's unofficial salary cap cheats in the other prelim final. Welcome to finals time NRL-style!
Go Panthers and Cowboys, good luck to both clubs and may one of them go all the way to the premiership. Only then will justice eventually be done for season 2017.

Flanagan and Gallen, always have been classless. Always will be.

Humility is not in their vocabulary

More front than a rat with a gold tooth. Gallen goes for the hero play when his team is setting for a field goal. He looses the ball like an idiot and it's everybody else's fault. No shame at all. Club should get rid of him.

It was shades of his time with us, running across field, trying to fend.
 
Gee there's alot of whinging going on about refs. But as a neutral observer I thought they got most of them right. Except for the Melbourne forward pass. There were a lot of tough decisions too.
But you were always going to get whinges from flnno, Barret and Arthur
 
Refing has been ordinary, but it has been the case for some time now.

Happy to see the Sharks get done. Since gallons dive against us I've been waiting for karma to bight them on the bum.
 
Sharks didn't deserve to win that. Their forwards were making plenty of metres but didn't share the ball with their backs. When you've got Holmes & Bird in your backline why wouldn't you spread the ball?

Well done to the cowboys. Imagine what they'd do if JT & Scott were fit.

Gee crowds were poor for the semis

As I said on another forum, the telecrap want us out of the comp and we draw near semi final crowds to end of season games with no bearing on the result. A strong Weststigers team would draw at least 25000 of its own following in a finals game plus what the other mob pull in. Manly have been the same for decades, they will not cross the bridge and Iam surprised that the Penny fans were not there in droves
 
Flannagan went off like a pork chop, should have cooled down before the presser. As I recall was very philosophical about referering decisions when in similar circumstances Cronulla beat the Cows with a try on the seventh tackle a couple of years back.
Admire what he has done with that side but they should have won that game and there tactics didnt work and no amount of throwing arms up in the air after every decision was going to win it for them.
