Finals Week 1 vs Rabbitohs - 7:50pm Friday 11th of September - Allianz Stadium

[Beatell]

Never in doubt. We got this 3 to go!

All heart and great coaching . Very proud of the whole squad. Our inexperienced forwards stood up and were not overawed by the occasion. Loved Gags outplaying Latrell as well. Controlled aggression and very few errors.
Bring on the Phins or Wahs, doesn’t matter. When we are playing like this , we can beat any team on the night.

What a fantastic game. We belted them from the word go. So many players stood up tonight when it mattered and we’re reaping the rewards now for it. We aren’t dead yet!

So bloody proud.

They've been doing it all year, tbh. Stepping up.

It was mostly doom and gloom on here all week, I was surprised I thought we still had a decent chance.

I was always confident because the rabbits just aren't an amazing team. We played better than I expected, they copped a few injuries and we did it easier than I had hoped

Phew that was stressful towards the end. Great game everyone!! In particular Dom, Frizz, Gags, McEwen, KP and Hopwood were fantastic

I thought we’d need to chance our arm way more. We were on top for at least 60 minutes. And yeah I never bought that the Rabbitohs were that good.

Obviously losing Walker ****s them but they weren’t doing a good enough job of getting into their game to where you could say he would have made the difference. We dominated.

 

[Mclovin]

He isnt going to get a lot of attention but that was a pretty dam good game from Smith, thought he was very good tonight and is just silently playing his role out the back and in truth we would be stuffed if we didnt have him here this year

 

[jamesgould]

Just wanna bask in this try. These are the sort of moments that win tight, tense finals games, and we can just pull them out of the bag from anywhere. Hang in there over the next few weeks and we’ve got the moments to beat anyone.

Big step up in opposition next week but honestly getting a finals game vs a genuine top contender is what I wanted, I’m a big believer that you need that baptism of fire, and we’re getting it. I don’t care about that result as much as I care about whether they give a good account of themselves.

Unequivocally an A for this season now. They will take so much confidence from what they’ve been able to achieve against the odds they’ve faced.

Many had Rabbitohs are a grand final favourite and quality team. Dolphins we have won 6 in a row against. I am quietly more confident in beating them especially after this win. We also get one day extra rest/preparation.

Hopwood, oh my, what a ****en freak

 

[Die Hard]

Ponga MOTM, Hopwood, Crouch, Crossland, Best, Gagai, Ponga, Manuleleua, McEwen to have standout matches.

Was close! Our team did fantastic.

Hopwood, oh my, what a ****en freak

Came here to say the same thing.

Where are the doubters now on this forum?

 

[Mclovin]

Who got MOTM?

I know someone going to a wedding today too. Who plans a wedding when the finals are on?

Haha best part is his dad is a big Knights fan too!

We got it done!! Up the Knights!!!!

Can’t like this post enough mate

Gags or Hopwood

What a win! Plenty of players deserve the praise, but shout out to Manuleleua. Don't underestimate the effort to get up for a game 2 weeks after an elbow dislocation, let alone have a huge impact on the game. All in a 12 game rookie!
