This game scares me - in fact I think I would be too afraid to watch at all. I'm not sure how we can beat them to be honest

Cam Smith will, I believe, break Lockyer's record for most finals appearances this week.

Hi guys,

Disappointed Rabbitohs fan here... congratulations on making it to the grand final. I hope you win as I can’t stand the Roosters.

I have four platinum tickets available to the game and am willing to let them go for below cost, if anybody is interested in taking them off my hands.

Cheers

Well it seems it was too much of an inconvenience for the NRL to move Bill's hearing to the Monday night. I mean why would they? It's not like there's a grand final this week or anything....

Why would anyone want to focus on the GF? That’s not what the NRL is about. The REAL story is in the bullshit soap opera :roll:

Sells papers...
It would be nice if the actual game and its stars were the focus.

I pray Bellyache doesn't change the teams dynamic and move Munster back. I hope for Hughes to replace him if Bill is robbed of his chance.
It's a 50/50 game in my opinion. Won't be high scoring.
God I hope Cronk is out , gives us a slight advantage. Even playing injured will help us.

Brad Fittler should get hit by a bus!

I have to work Sunday so won't see the game live, although it's probably not the worst thing to happen. I get so nervous (even during the regular season).

Perhaps the one good thing about all of this is that I won't be at the game live (which I find my nerves are much better when I am there). The only grand final I made it to live (which still haunts me) is 2008. I swore then it must have been my fault they lost (some curse) and vowed I would only watch grand finals on TV.

Of course I will be sneaking lots of peeks at the score. I am definitely going with the heart for this one and that we will win. My prediction 14-6.

What a f*cking hypocrite this guy is.

Friend drops a bloke on his head - Defends it, blames Inglis, moves on the conversation.
Slater makes shoulder to shoulder contact - Screams "ban him" in every TV opportunity he gets.

Someone should be calling him out publicly for his clear bias and general douchebag-edness.

I am surprisingly optimistic about Billy's chances after reading most of the comments on LeagueUnlimited (who'da thought!?)

If this big shot lawyer got Whighton off of his shoulder charge then who knows what he could do for Bill.

What do you expect? Brad Fittler, Roosters legend. No conflict of interest there.
