2 exciting games so far. And really excited for the main game, haven't been excited for a grand final since 2009. Probably because this one is interesting, Souths looking for their first premiership since the 70s, having fell short twice in the last 2 years, & then there's the underdogs, the Bulldogs who have pulled off a coaching masterclass through the finals, they looked gone a month ago & they are a gritty team so you just know they're just gonna keep going at it till the end & it will be up to Souths to overcome that grit & the pressure of being the big favourites.
 
Easy to whinge because it's not my type of music but I agree it's ordinary.
I love slash & Miles Kennedy but that was ordinary too... Fancy a taped voice over live guitar at a grand final. Bloody hell!
 
I'm going dogs... It was hard to believe there was another team other than souths in the lead up to the game
 
It should have been a sin bin for sure, How good was GI's run !!

How did the refs miss that 40/20 ?? :lol:
 
Brad Fittler: "How's the cheekbone?"

Sam Burgess: "What?"

Brad Fittler: "How's the cheekbone?"

Sam Burgess: "Fuc*ed, It's gone" :lol:
 
Bulldogs can't match the mighty Bunnies at the moment.

Slammin' Sam Burgess will be missed, whatta soldier.
 
Pretty sh*t feeling for the missus at the moment, even if the score board doesn't agree, they are getting hammered. I think the flood gates will open in the second half
