NRL finals footy discussion 2026

So fit collins fir a big bloke...he was in front of the tackle of billy smith then had to get back to take that crash play...huge effort play

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

DCE is still a great halves player
shame tigers couldn't have got him here instead of luai

 

[Tucker]

That was a bloody awesome try.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

roosters wha a try
quality

 

[Telltails]

Got to love Radley - what a player.

 

[Flippedy]

So many missed tackles in that one, Dolphins are shot.

Roosters seem bigger and stronger than any team in the comp. All of their young players have crazy size and skill on them.

 

[Flippedy]

Lindsay Collins is one of the best big game front rowers in the comp.
Origin, finals…he shines on the big stage.

Love him! Love that he wears top and bottom mouth guards too lol.

 

[Telltails]

Dolphins beyond disappointing tonight.

They have built a cracking good squad over the past couple of years.

 

[Tucker]

Experience has won this game.
Terrific game Roosters.

 

[innsaneink]

Class half play identifies the tired pigs

DCE was a very very good buy for them

Dolphins beyond disappointing tonight.

Had a great season, but it’s a bridge too far tonight. Still no team having had 50 plus put on them during the season will be winning the comp. And still no team, bar one, will be winning the comp in their first foray into the finals. We hold many records for all the wrong reasons, but that one is our only positive light 😁

Bit underwhelming as a prelim unless you are a Roosters supporter

Yeah no doubt.
Their pack are a bunch of tough hardarses as well..
Fancy having the luxury of bringing Angus C off the bench!

 

[Flippedy]

DCE was a very very good buy for them

They did the same thing when they purchased Cronk before he retired and they won the GF. I really didn’t think DCE would be able to produce the goods though because unlike Cronk, his final year with Manly was pretty crap. Just shows he still actually has it when playing with a better squad.

Leniu didn’t get minutes

I’m enjoying it. Some good footy being played.

it has probably set up a sensational GF
two best teams roosters and penrith
13-12 in semi deserves to be the GF
