The Suns have a really bad record up in Brisbane but they have a fair few season ending injuries so you never know, this could be our turn. Tickets sold out in an hour.

Are you going, SB?

Neale being out is a massive loss on top of the already big list of injuries. I really don’t know how this will go. They’ve got some top young talent like the Ashcrofts and Will has shown he’s capable of stepping up on the big occasions and the experience of Zorko in a game like this will definitely help.

The suns have had some big wins to finish the season and have some momentum and have nothing to lose with a top coach. I expect a very fired up and aggressive approach from both teams considering the rivalry already there and this being a final. Exciting game.

No, my son tried to get txt but missed out.

Yeah Neale & Hipwood are big losses & im hoping we can keep Zorko & co quiet too. We’d not won against Freo in Perth till last weekend I believe so it’s a season of 1sts.

Really enjoying this Storm v Bulldogs final, though there have been a LOT of injuries during the game

That was a good game wasn’t it. From a neutrals POV who dislikes both sides I couldn’t help but have a chuckle but felt sorry for Toby Sexton & the way he’s been treated by the club. He’s twice the player that Gould thinks Galvin is. And now they dropped Reed Mahoney last night. Joke of a club.

Suns lions was a bit of a damp squib, for a neutral like me

Sigh, had been looking forward to that one

[peterbread]

No complaints from me. Easier than I thought it would be. Bring on Collingwood.

Suns have done well this season, first finals series and winning their first one away to Freo. I think they’d be happy overall and will be a big threat in the next few seasons.

I know I’ll be disappointed tomorrow when the Raiders beat the Broncos so I’ll enjoy this one.

It sure was. Quite a few players just didn’t get into the game for whatever reason. Oh well onwards & upwards.

Did anyone watch the Raiders Broncos game? Sounded like it had everything in it. Penalty after the final whistle to take it to extra time.

I missed the last 10 mins but all the media was saying there was minimal contact but the pretty boy Reece went down like he’d been hit by a train. He did turn the game though after spending 10 mins in the bin for a head but.

Mad mad game - I thought it was over about 6 times with the Raiders winning it - and after Walsh came back from the sin bin he was incredible - crazy brilliant game !! Watch the last 20 mins or so ..

Still hard to pick a winner in the NRL at this point ..

I watched the highlights. Canberra thinking they’d won it twice to be denied and then losing to a Bent Hunt field goal. Crazy game.

My biased opinion kicking in but I’d love to see Ben Hunt win it and be the major factor after his drop ball against the cowboys. I don’t think he ever recovered properly from that.

Walsh is some player but he needs to sort himself out. Silly mistakes on and off the field. I know he’s young but he’s been around since he was 18. When you’re in the spotlight especially rugby league QLD you’ve got to know everything you do will be watched.

After that game and looking at the draw - I'm leaning towards thinking the Broncos can win it this year - maybe only Panther's stand in their way ??

Would be hard for the Raiders to mentally back up this weekend after having the game won at least twice

[peterbread]

Broncos have lost Carrigan for their next game. Billy Walter’s is also out with an injury but Reynolds will be back. A couple big outs. How does Walsh only get a fine?
