THE GRAND FINAL VS ROOSTERS ❤️💙❤️💙❤️

In the 2001 GF I thought I'd missed out and I rang Sid Foggs and they seemed to be able to get as many tickets as they wanted for people paying for bus down and admission, and since they travelled from the Knights stadium, I got back to the big party in the stadium.
 
Is anyone struggling with the resale tickets on ticketmaster? I think i managed to make it through once before they got snapped up...
Managed to get something, might be slowing down for anyone else wanting to try and it being later...
 
Bulldogs and Broncos won the comp in the 90's from outside the top 4.
So we can do it.
Roosters can't win after conceding 50+.
Knights have never lost in a GF.
😂
Hope so anyway.
Your correct about the Bulldogs and Broncos, but wasn’t that when it was top 5, not top 8

I’m not sure, I can’t remember 🤷‍♂️

Bulldogs was the first year of the top eight, 1995. They finished sixth in regular season … same finals system as we have now.

That was the first GF I ever watched! I was over on an exchange at UTS and playing football (soccer) for the Uni team. We played a tournament somewhere and then got smashed watching the game. Being a football fan I remember saying how weird it was that this end of season play off thing happened as I was used to whoever won the league was the champ.
 
Anyone else worried about waking up tomorrow and finding out that today was a fever dream?
There Is a poor old bastard who was enjoying his beer at the venue I was at minding his own business who almost had a heart attack from the yell I let out when Sandon scored that would very much disagree with said statement.

Matter a fact he would like to have a word with you. 🤣
 
I just hope Kalyn continues to be himself like Justin says, don’t be nervous, everyone’s watching you and be cool, he seemed calm despite getting the job done, even humbly admitted ‘he got lucky’ when he smashed Leota. Just hope he enjoys the week the way the 2001 team did without the pressure, we know he wants one.
And I don’t ever want to hear anyone in the Sydney media talk about the leaving speculation ever again, no one that is considering options elsewhere is ever that emotional ever after such an impressive win . Just completely wrong on their part
 
I’m too hyped up to sleep, even though its 1:30am in NZ.

Don’t think you could find a Grand Final between two sides with two more contrasting finals campaigns. We’ve been in certainly two very intense battles, and played every week. Roosters have had a first week walkover, and rest and then a GF qualifier that they ran away with pretty easily in the end. And not forgetting the Roosters also rested a lot of players in the final round.

Roosters should have plenty of petrol in the tank, but we should be extremely battle hardened. Not sure which will work out best, but if it gets down to a nail biter, it might just favour us.

The Chooks have played 3 finals games too… Penrith beat them week 1.
