Finals week 2 2025

[mtd#2]

Feel sorry for their fans, they had high hopes and their team just couldn’t perform in the games that mattered.

Empathy from tucker, I never thought I'd see the day 😂

I think the MPs should be paid a million dollars and get some other benefit such as their choice of opponent in week 1.
They put the work in over 6 months that no one else did.

Somewhat related, the AFL are paying snoop dogg 5 million for their grand final pre-game entertainment... Isn't that crazy in comparison to what the club and players are getting paid for the main spectacle.

Just on the Sharks…we on here often do not acknowledge their achievements. During the time we’ve been bumbling around, this is their returns:

• 2012 - finals
• 2013 - finals
• 2014 - last place = this was the year the drugs stuff happened
• 2015 - finals
• 2016 - premiership
• 2017 - finals
• 2018 - preliminary final
• 2019 - finals
• 2020 - finals
• 2021 - 9th place = the year they sacked their coach
• 2022 - finals
• 2023 - finals
• 2024 - preliminary final
• 2025 - preliminary final at worst

We could only dream of this.

Yeah I had a bad feeling Canberras season was going to end when Strange was ruled out.

Raiders had plenty of chances including Weekes but it’s almost like they forgot how to play football and shit the bed

Sharks defence was great and when they had chances to score they took them.
They’ll give Storm some big headaches next week.

They’ve always seemed like a team who just makes up the numbers every year, with this year being the first time in a while I can genuinely say they’re a threat

I think they beat Melbourne next week but fall short against Penrith / Brisbane in the big one

What will people say if Lachlan plays well today and is the difference?
There is a very unhealthy and reasonably pathetic obsession with watching him fail.
This isn’t life and death, it’s just footy people….

It will be one mighty effort if it pans out that way - penriff will target him all day in defence. If he can handle that and still have an influence in attack then i think he will have proven himself as a good footballer.

Funnily enough they are sneaking under the radar this finals series, the monkey's off their back after 2 wins where previously they have been criticised in a few finals appearances for going out early.

Make no prediction as to how far they can go but they look determined and on their game defensively.

Anyone see the Raiders press conference? Lasted just over 90 seconds. Ricky cops a lot of flak for being a whiner, but not enough for shutting down as well. I get they were the first MP’s in 15 years to be bailed out in straight sets, but be a man and actually speak. All he gave were one word answers, hence why it didn’t last two minutes. Arrogant twat.
