It was like watching an Anderson coached St Helens!

Good game and a great atmosphere. Seeing the see of gold at one end and then blue and white at the other end was amazing...

Does anyone think Jarryd Hayne will get suspended for the GF?
I remember a few weeks back when the Eels played the Tigers and Bryce Gibbs was put on report for a similar incident on Luke Burt but the knees of Gibbs got Burt in the back as Burt was scoring a try, IIRC they gave an 8 point try for that aswell. Gibbs got banned for that, i cant remember how many games for but Hayne's is very similar so he could miss the GF which would be a cruel blow for him and Parramatta. The one thing in his favour is that he hasn't got any carry-over points so if he's charged with a grade one offence he could escape suspension with an early guilty plea.
Keating could also miss the GF, it was a chicken wing tackle on Hannant.

and cayless looks very doubtful?.. could be the end of their good run

cayliss said he is fine now . prob make it . hayne grade 1 . wont miss the gf

If the NRL are consistent, he will be charged, but like you say, due to his good record, I think he will play.

At the ground, I thought it looked pretty bad, but after watching a replay of the incident at home, it looked a lot better for Hayne. I can't even say if it was his knee that hit Goodwin. Hayne was already turning his leg and it looked like a lot of thigh hitting Goodwin. Whatever the case, malicious intent clearly wasn't there.

It would be a great, great shame for Hayne to miss the Grand Final.

Melbourne have just hammered the Broncos 40-10. Well done to them and it should be a great match against the Eels, Slater and Inglis are freaks, some great stuff from them.

great game and atmosphere. this is the sort of spectacle RL needs every week of the season. The bulldogs attack looked quite short of ideas at times, but i think everybody in a parra jersey has been playing at 110% since July and its hard to beat a team were everybody performs so well.

I hope the Eels win and i really hope hayne plays

Melborne will have them Sunday week.

Same here, i think Melbourne will win next week. They look unstopable ATM, best form they've been in all year. The likes of Slater, Inglis, Smith, Cronk and Finch are all in top form and the forwards are setting the platfrom. It's been a good move by Bellache putting Blair in the second row since Manu got injured and young Tolman has done very well since coming into the side.
I bet Brett Finch wasn't expecting to meet the Eels in the GF when he left for the Storm, he especially would love to beat the Eels and stick it up Daniel Anderson after being told he wasn't wanted earlier in the year. Watch him go and win the CC medal, that would be good just to see Anderson's face


Anderson/Grand Finals, hang on, i can feel a choke coming on

Hayne and keating free to play if with a early guilty plee

Hold on a second.....


Anderson told Finch he wanted to go in a different direction and would be sending him back to reserve grade. The club said he could look around for another club if he wanted.

Anderson has been proven right! Finch went out of the top grade side and they started winning!

So Finch got bad advice. Walk out on a million dollar deal to go and play for a tenth of that for the Storm. He'll be on even less next year!

only from a financial view.

everyones been a winner in the move.

Didn't Parra get over 74,000 for there semi?

Aye. 'bout 40% were Bulldogs fans. An incredible atmosphere and an incredible game
