NRL finals footy discussion 2026

He’s arguably been the best fullback this year.

He has lost that yard of speed in attack that made him elite

 

[Odessa]

Teddys not a winger.

No he's not

Leota would be a great addition to us. Maybe he could drag something out of May and lead our pack. Add Martin or Hudson Young and now we’re talking. Some aggression and competitiveness that we just don’t have.
And then I woke up!!

May looks cumbersome, slow and soft compared to guys like Whyte. I am not sure what’s the story with him because I think he actually has it in him but there’s simply not enough drive and aggression in contact. Maybe less minutes so he doesn’t preserve his energy? Benji needs to fire him up and challenge him to think pcms and breaking tackles.
As for Pole, i think he improved in the latter part of the season. He just needs more output and to learn to stamp himself on a game. Again just 2 x 20 minute stints where he rips in.
One more quality front rower needed to start (Leota would be great) and then Hunt makes up the rotation as long as he’s fit and firing. He builds fitness up to 2 x 15 min stints.
This would provide the grunt we need to play off.

Group 3 grand final

 

[Wezt]

The finals crowds have been so bad from the Sydney teams

Huge contrast to Eels Dogs in 2009 that got 74,000 and Tigers Dragons in 2010 that had 70,000

Sucks that the big fanbases are run by idiots

any mix of
dogs, tigers, souths, dragons, parramatta would generate huge crowds

roosters penrith sharks manly just do not draw the same crowds even when successful

not sure roosters sharks draw much of a crowd, roosters should win by 20

 

[Milky]

Ugh tough one between Knights and Wahs for me, either of them beating Penrith would be nice

Fins v Knights/Wahs grand final would be so different and would be awesome no matter who won

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I think it probably still ends up Penrith Roosters grand final
judging bu today's game it would be a good GF
