Sometimes GF stands for Grand Final. Sometimes it doesn't - gf. haha

Those two played the GF in 2005.

Don't really remember the game, but I do remember I was in Ravenshoe at the highest pub in QLD. 

 

[ellicat]

It was the Tigers that won. The famous Benji flick-pass to Pat Richards.

[Rebel]

Benny Elias has had enough.

I think he has his cheque book out.

[Rebel]

Manly V Easts.

Great game.

[Rebel]

Newcastle V Bulldogs.

Newcastle to good.

ROUND 18  results…

THURSDAY JUNE 29

Sharks 52  vs  16 Dragons

The Dragon’s showed interest for 50 minutes…. then the Sharkies chewed them up…

FRIDAY JUNE 30

Warriors 6  vs  28 Rabbitohs

after losing 4 of their last 5 games the Rabbitoh’s decided to make the Warriors their bunnies

Storm  16  vs 34 Panthers
for 30 minutes the Storm were thundering, with lightning strikes… the Panthers waited for fair weather and ran away on the score board…

SATURDAY JULY 1

Raiders 26  vs  22 Titans
this game was a constant swing in momentum, with a few ‘iffy calls’ added in…eventually the Raiders held in for the win

Cowboys 74   vs  0 Wests Tigers
Tigers had just 37 per cent of the ball, completed a 52 per cent (18 from 34 sets), ran for 1003m — 1381m less than the Cowboys, had less than half the post-contact metres, missed 54 tackles and made 16 errors for the match… = 74 – 0 scoreline

Broncos 24  vs  16 Dolphins
The Bronco’s half time lead of 8 was the final score line’s winning margin, thanks to 2 late tries to Selwyn Cobbo…..

SUNDAY JULY 2

Bulldogs 0  vs  66 Knights
well, what can be said?... the Doggies made the Knights look like a team of Marvel Super  Heroes.

Sea Eagles 18  vs  16 Roosters
for me, this was the game of the round…
both teams wanted the 2 points on offer, and fought for a win.
The lead changed 5 times during the match and Manly eventually prevailed

Bye: Eels

[Gad]

hmmmm. looking at that Bloo's list, it's obvious that Freddy felt he had limited flakes left in his corn flakes box... just saying 

[ellicat]

They've got a pretty lightweight bench. Must be looking to go around Qld.

[Angry51]

I reckon freddie will be applying at Centrelink Thursday!!

[Gad]

 

only 5 games this round.
looking through the round there is the high chances that there may be a couple of blow out score lines...

Tigers V Sharks.

Tigers were going ok.

Sharks pickrd up the pace.

Bunker up to its usual tricks.

[Rebel]

Dragons V Raiders

ST.George nearly won. They played their best game of the season.

[GregOug]

Eels vs warriors. I give up!

[Rebel]

Souths lost it.

[Rebel]

Dolphins V Titans.

Great game.

Dolphins just got home.

[Gad]

ROUND 19

THURSDAY JULY 6

Wests Tigers  12   vs  36 Sharks

Watching this game, waiting for the Sharks to run away on the scoreboard, was similar to being prepped for root canal treatment… just saying
 

FRIDAY JULY 7

Dragons vs. Raiders
injuries cruelled the Dragons, but then again, the Raiders tried hard to lose the game

SATURDAY JULY 8

Eels 10  vs   46 Warriors
With the Eels missing a few key players, the Warriors had a spluttering start to this match, but the scoreboard tells us they got it together and ran in the points

Rabbitohs 32  vs  36 Bulldogs
Well…. if the Doggies were going to make a statement in 2023,  key Bunny players missing gave them the opportunity to hold out for the win.
 

SUNDAY JULY 9

Titans 21  vs  23 Dolphins
Fancy that, was it ever in doubt. LOL

BuT QLD lost the plot in the decider.

It is called outclassed.

Cheers.

State of Orgin NSW V QLD under 19's.

I saw the second half of that game.  Some big boys and some good skills coming through for both teams. The real SoO game on Wednesday looked like the teams had swapped attitudes for the night. NSW played like they should have and Qld played like NSW in the first two games. Still can’t understand why Cody Walker wasn’t in the team ahead of Luai For the whole series. He is a real footballer while Luai is a show pony. Looking forward to the next series already!

You’re funny, I like you . On a serious note, look up the meaning of ‘decider’ ….. think you’ll find that the Blues were ‘outclassed’ so one wasn’t needed this year …. .

14 of the last 18 series .

Shhh Steve, not so loud, Freddie is still  thinking he’ll recall the gun touch footy player next year …..

[Rebel]

Fredie has to be appointed first.

I don't think Freddie will make the same mistake picking Luai again.

[Rebel]

Newcastle V Tigers.

Tigerwere in it for a while.

They let it get away.

[Gad]

Soo the Bloos won the Game 3 skirmish... while the Maroons won the battlefield honours for the series and the SOO shield, again....  3 out of 4 series.... are they fine tuning for another Bloos shut out dynasty.

 

ROUND 20  results…

FRIDAY JULY 14

Knights 34  vs  18 Tigers
The Tigers were kind of kept in this game, helped by Ponga’s missed conversion kicks… but what will the game be remembered for…. a serial ***** slapper getting 10 in the bin….

SATURDAY JULY 15

Bulldogs 24  vs  44 Broncos
The Doggies turned up to play but were outclassed, and overwhelmed by a Reynold’s master class and a points hungry Broncos outfit

 

Sea Eagles 8  vs  19 Cowboys
An at times spluttering Cowboys side ensured their 2 points for the win, by their committed defensive efforts.

Roosters 16  vs  30 Storm
The 2023 misfiring Chooks, keep on misfiring… The Storm have now won 7 of the last 8 games, that these sides have played

SUNDAY JULY 16

Warriors 44  vs  12 Sharks
The Sharkies look good playing outside the Top Eight sides…..

Dolphins 14  vs  24 Panthers
The Dolphins need to play the 2^nd half of their games first, that way they would be warmed up for the first 40 minutes LOL

Eels 25  vs  24 Titans
fancy that… the final score may not have looked that close, if the Eels did not have 2 payers in the bin at the same time.

Bye: Dragons, Rabbitohs, Raiders
