Footy justice.

What was the final score?

Queensland won!

16-14

Thanks, the last time I looked it was 4-14

2 lovely quick tries in the last few minutes

Truckster,
I completely agree. They should either give it a miss and just give the ball to the other side or go back to a straight in feed where the best pack gets the footy. (my preference) At the moment it is just a waste of footy time.

if i ever watch it, i put Roy and HG on to try and make it entertaining... just not my cup of tea no matter how hard i try to get into it. i'm a fan of the origin concept and passion indeed but prefer australian rules. one of the most memorable games being June 1995 when Teddy did his final lap and Lockett "stuck it up them." But some of my oldest memories of the game are sitting up in the stand at Subi oval watching the Vics take on WA. Kevin Taylor, Brian Peake, The Krakouers, Cabes......

Truckster, I agree & disagree, I admit the thought of the decider has crossed my mind as well, but it was pointed out to me that these players are the best at it in the world, very evenly matched sides i recon is the cause, I think the last time a team has one it in the first 2 games was in 2003 by NSW, before that was 2000 by NSW, then 95 Qld, 96 NSW, 97 NSW.
the scrum issue you are dead right, they just throw it in behind the 2nd rowers legs, the hooker does nothing anymore, might as well just take a tap.
& I agree with someones comment that the ref must have been the same ref as the world cup soccer AUS V IT

Truckie....

I totally agree with you on the scrum, totally agree with you on the corp $$$$ and (worst of all) agree on the AFL.

AFL will soon be spelled T E N N I S

and I don't mean that as a way to knock tennis at all..... just that AFL will become a mobile tennis game.... it's even filtering down to junior level.... my son Keith is captain of his U16B team, asks the ump what a free kick was for, gets 50 given against him for asking the question .... I asked him how he said it, was he being belligerent???? he said no, and I do believe him, he's a good kid y'know??? Just the Umps treat the kids here like shyte and wonder why everyone bags 'em.....

(Brian gets off soap box)......

I try not to bag 'em..... it's damn hard though, one ump here is a good bloke, I always say g'day to him and have a chat..... but out of the dozen or so I'm familiar with he's the only one I would talk to.

theres plenty I hate about all codes these days.

NRL - its like a game of hot potato.. NEVER get caught with it, just throw it somewhere... and then theres the AFL coming into it - cross field kicks instead of passing the pill...

AFL - Same bleep , MUST BE FASTER - LESS SKILLS

Watching back to back games on Optus of their 1970/80's games of AFL, the old games are so much more enjoyable to watch. more of a sport, more of a spectical, and the crowds appreciated GOOD skills from anyone back then...

hate to see wat corp $ will do to sport over the next 10 years :('

oh..... and don't underestimate the power of the media and in particular the commentators.... they certainly know how to get things their way, don't they.....

its as funny as saying theres no corruption in the cops.

I didnt realise that the AFL umpires actually wait for the TV stations to give them the go ahead to bounce after a goal!

Theres a light on the grandstand or similar to signal we are ready for you now.

Yep.... we saw that at the Gabba a few years back..... it was funny as 'cos the ump was facing the wrong way and couldn't see the light...... The ruckman pointed it out to the ump that the light was going...... and play resumed.... Gotta have those commercial breaks..... never mind seeing a great goal again on replay, just cut to the paying customer!

I just read this in the paper on the net

that'll be the end of it for me I can tell ya!!

Cheers

Brian

that should add many hours to a game.

22 goals per team, 15 behinds to examine.....

5-10 mins each....

they will have to drop to 5 rounds per yr to get them all in..

you mean Kevin Sheedy? my theory was always that Mark Harvey will take over, still believe that but not necessarily next year.

Why would it?

Roger roger Mr K S himself. For any other coach who has failed to perform everybody would be screeming out to be sacked.

the smart state?

pardon me?

Isn't that Arnies job?

Opps forgot to put the 'P' in conspiracy......cause I'm sick of having the "P**s taken out of me!!

Sure I was pleased that Qld won but apart from that it was the most magnificent come back I've seen in league.

Takes guts to keep at it when you are down by over two tries, the ref seems against you, you are totally stuffed and there are only minutes to go.

The NSW team played well and the looks on their faces at fulltime should prove to anyone that this comp is not fixed.

read your whole post again ev...

DOWN BY MANY TRiES MINS TO GO...
then the last 6 words...

for the right amount of money I'd piss myself on the footy field.

ev700,

You'd think that NSW would know by now that Qld don't give up till the final whistle.

Truckie,

Mate, you've got to get away from 'bleak city' and into the sun for a while LOL You're starting to believe too many conspiracy theories hahahahaha

Gramps.....

Can't get more "into-the-sun" than the mighty Gold Caost for mine..... and I still agree with Truckster!!!

LOL......

Hmmm ... might be too much sun Brian LOL

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!

Tooooooo much sun?????

Never!!

LOL
