NRL finals footy discussion 2026

Maybe Roosters tonight in a really close game

At the price roosters at $2.10 looks pretty good head to head
Roosters holding Penrith to 13 points in semi showed great defence.
With Dolphins they got past warriors, again a team I simply did not rate this year.

Tipping Roosters forwards go straight through the dolphins forwards like a dodgy vindaloo
Both backlines are sensational to watch

Penrith by 16 plus on Sunday
That newcastle formline looking pretty dodgy in beating souths and warriors two teams i dont rate.

Penrith v Roosters grand final for me

Wouldn't that be something? If so, the 50 point rule says get on the Knights for Premiers

Itd be a great GF...something different

 

[GNR4LIFE]

How will Walker hold up???
Whats the story with Cleary???

I can see both Phins and Knights getting home...that said can see the other side of the coin too

A Phins-Knights GF would be the biggest underdog GF since 05.

That would be fascinating G but somethings telling me the Knights are going to fall short this Sunday.

 

[Speed2burn]

Knights are the weakest of the 4 but they’ve surprised plenty so who knows

I had them losing to Souffs in the first week now they’re in a prelim

That would be an insane turnaround! However, I think Penrith are on a mission. They are not the team they once were, but I still think they will take the trophy again this season.

Big reason why im going to the preliminary final..

In 05, the greatest game was the preliminary final vs the dragons..it was better than the GF... never experienced an atmosphere like it... the only thing that came close was that game vs raiders at leichardt this year.. didnt things turn after that!!

Hey champion @mtd#2 - thanks for this.
Probably my most enjoyable win apart from the G/F, we were outnumbered in the stands. but WOW! What a night.
And especially more poignant now is that my clan were in the same row as champion @Geo's family - a wonderful memory in itself!

 

[innsaneink]

Looks.like Gee had.put the 6 to goes away

 

[tig_prmz]

Ruck is quite slow, I wonder how long the ref holds the whistle

I think it was 30k dragons fans and 10k tigers fans... but i swear we were much louder!

 

[tig_prmz]

That's the best 3m I've ever seen.from Gilbert

 

[tig_prmz]

Dolphins running way too one out

 

[tig_prmz]

I feel like Phins are conserving energy.

 

[mtd#2]

I feel like Phins are conserving energy.

Agree. Just stay in the game and come home strong...

 

[tig_prmz]

The first 6 again or penalty will be crucial

 

[tig_prmz]

Agree. Just stay in the game and come home strong...

I know roosters haven't had a break but idk if that's a good strategy.

 

[tig_prmz]

First incomplete set, first error, no 6 against no penalties. Great game so far

 

[innsaneink]

Such a soft penalty in such an important game...players left behind in the ruck all the time

 

[Demps]

Marky Mark, so involved.
Wow
