[Mal Cochrane]

how poor is Thurston doing interviews.

The JT experiment should be over - i never knew how bad he was - but wont matter i will stick with FOX

Yeah , once a year for Nein does my head in.

 

[eagleron]

Starting his NRL coaching career at age 61? I doubt it. If he was going to coach them he should have done so 25 years ago.

He's leaving because he's sick of being embarrassed by the sad unit that is Parramatta

 

[Cioran]

Can anyone tell me the difference between Burton's try and Tom's last week?

I was fine with the Burton try as the decoy ran to the inside arm of the defenders (technicality) but the South's try should have been called back. The decoy impacted with Cleary's outside shoulder - just like Suli.

Well I gave fox up because they suck but I still have Kayo for footy

Appalling. I hate to say it but the Fox team is so much better.

True. Which just goes to show how bad Nine's team is, because the Fox team is nothing to write home about either.

The classic choice between the Giant Douche and the Sh*t Sandwich, except somehow Nine's douches are way bigger and their sandwiches are way sh*ttier…

Jeez the Grubbitohs will miss Reynolds next year.

He kept South’s in that game tonight.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Very definition of an arm wrestle that game. Penrith were using up a great deal of energy to restrict Souths yardage that they couldn’t run rampant against them in attack. Souths were very willing to hang in there and seemed ok to wait it out while giving up field position. It nearly worked for them but Penrith earned the win and had a bit of luck with Reynolds missing that conversion

Sorry mate but I didn't see a lot of difference, I'm pleased the Panthers won but for mine the interference with the defence was very little different from Suli's, anyway the season is done and dusted, let's look forward to a Sea Eagle assault on the competition in 2022

Give him the mic JT

Clueless. Probably had to tell him through his ear piece.

Legend players but legend commentator does not follow. Looking at you Cam Smith.

 

[The Who]

Last week against Manly Souffs got the bounce of the ball; tonight they didn't.
For me that was the difference between winning and losing tonight.

 

[eagleron]

Cleary shouldn't have got it. His missed tackle on Walker was nearly the decisive factor.

It was second prize for losing the Dally M

Souths may make the 8 but with no Adam dane, jayden or Wayne that won't be making it deep next year.

Even with latrine back won't save them from small fall next year.

No where near the GF in 2022.

 

[ABTK]

What a surprise, Cleary wins the Clive Churchill Medal.

Yep... I must've been watching a different game. But when the medal is already engraved before the match it'd be a shame to waste it...

 

[eagleron]

No worries , LOL

Gladys is gooorne, they can do what they like

 

[Damien2812]

Glad the gronks of Redfern lost and it's refreshing to see another team win thats not Storm or Rorters.

 

[davohan123]

Apart from origin it's back to fox for the footy again in 2022.

Man even though fox sports like Ennis voss and co I can't stand they are a breath of fresh air compared to nine, so glad I have fox.

Man nine is just awful and was so hard to watch tonight.

Brandy at the post game show priceless and shows what league means to ex players.

Thought he did a real good job with welcome to country. I’m not a great fan of it to be honest but it was good to see a RL player doing it.

Thurston and Lockyer are proof positive that former great players do not always make got good commentators.

Thurston is on a personal crusade to butcher the English language every time he opens his mouth, and Lockyer can't string a coherent sentence together to save himself.
