Very happy to see the lions win again and a bit surprised by the score. They look setup to potentially win another one or two in the coming seasons with the squad they have.

It was such a tight contest until just before 3/4 time & so many Geelong players just didn’t handle the occasion. They are a good side the Lions.

Brisbane vs Penrith was a cracker of a game. I think the win will have taken heaps out of them though so I’d call Melbourne hot favourites

Probably the worst team for the broncos to face in the final with their record against the storm. Hopefully they can get this one right but what a great first season for Maguire. Beating the Panthers might give them that mental boost that they can go on with it now. Coming from 14-0 down to beat the Panthers after they were on the end of the comeback in the final two years ago might give them that belief to beat the Storm.

Now to get my hopes up for the Roar with their preseason and good signings. I wonder how long that will last. I don’t think they’ll be anywhere at the top but maybe they can challenge for a finals spot but I’m probably being very optimistic considering their recent history. But I don’t think they’ll be anywhere as bad as they have been.

Regarding the A League, I’ve not been paying attention so when is it kicking off?

Christian Petracca potentially to the suns. Would be a massive signing for them.

That would be awesome. Hopefully making the 8 this season gives everyone at the club a lift & we can push on.

Happy for the jets fans they’ve had a terrible time for a while now.

Broncos joining the Lions with the win.

So happy for Ben Hunt to get the win after his drop ball all those years ago.

It was a great game from a neutrals point of view. Bne shut them out after HT.

That was an excellent grand final for a neutral like me - Brisbane's win felt a bit destined didn't it, after the Raiders win a few weeks ago
