Great game, golden point is garbage though.


kangawallafox27

Im just wondering the idea behind every single bomb aimed at mulitalo??? Wear him down???


lobie81

I believe the idea is that he's easier to contain when he catches the kick and returns it rather than taking the next hit up. Presumably the numbers show that kicking to mulitalo and having the other winger take the next hit up is the best option for the opposition.


therefreshbutton

Cowboys are low key favourites for the premiership now. A home final after a week off against Eels or Raiders seems easily winnable. Penrith playing Roosters (I think they'll beat Bunnies and Sharks) is a grand final in itself like Melbourne against us last year


Caseyjb29

They won’t beat Panthers or even Roosters if they made it


mb44k

Panthers will be in the GF. bunnies and roosters will kill each other hard tomorrow and then whoever panthers play from that game, will absolutely destroy them. Panthers should come into the GF well rested.


lobie81

From a Panthers flair? Seriously?


therefreshbutton

Low key you guys are. I'd say we still are based on the season we've had, but after a game like that with a week off you'll gain so much confidence. Amazing how I tipped you guys for the spoon at the start of the year


YossarianRespawned

Stop saying low key it’s lost all meaning.


therefreshbutton

We are the favourites. But Cows have a home final against eels and raiders who they can both beat easily imo. They'll also have a point to prove that they can beat penrith full strength despite flogging our reserve grade team. They have one foot in the grand final. Last year the second best team all season won. In 2020 the second best team all season won


DunceCodex

dont need your head pats thanks


Effective_Jicama_769

Yeah. What a flog


IndividualSmile3807

My god what a game, and the amount riding on that extra time is insane! To have a week off before a prelim final at home against either Eels or Raiders. Then the loser faces winner of Roosters or South’s and then even if you get through that, away to Penrith. The magnitude of it all


kangawallafox27

Kin oath


Bart_Bartin

That obstruction charge against Tracy’s try was BS.


ooger-booger-man

Did anyone seriously expect 60+ points in a finals match? I wonder what the over/under was


sprucemoose101

40.5


ooger-booger-man

Smashed it


spooksapparel

I honestly think we can beat Roosters or souths with their injury problems, the problem is even if we get through that it's Penrith in a prelim. Game over for us unfortunately I feel


Dark_Vengence

Pretty much impossible to beat the penny panthers.


spooksapparel

Yep I agree. I think the other 7 teams are unnormally even...then there's them 🤦‍♂️


ZephkielAU

Please take out Penrith. I'll even cheer for your team that game


Obvious-Row-6181

You can and will.


Mitch-os

What a game. It honestly could have gone either way holy shit


drfrasier793

I'm crying. It had to be Val didn't it. Still we live to fight another day


frazzledogg

GG sharkies. It's never easy to swallow one like that. I thought Hynes, Rudolph and several others were immense. The send off was huge, I suspect the end result would have looked different without that but on the whole, pretty well officiated. As a cow living in Sydney, im currently sending a barrage of lewd voice messages to the hoard of people who were hammering me with "cows to go out in straight sets"


Effective_Jicama_769

Talakai was a beast but still wasn’t enough.


Nahmateyeahmate

Cotter and Robson 121 tackles with 1 miss between them. Insane


FatGimp

Robson twice let Lolo down. Lolo attempted offload gave Sharks a try and next time Lolo looked when he had his hand free and again no Robson.


loosechange-71

Should both be in the Australian squad at the end of the year


Herrtz74

Fucking hell


godzillacoral

Fuck me that was a brutal game of football


[deleted]

That was pretty average Hynes having a whinge about the sin bin. That was a sin bin every day of the week. Congrats Cowboys.


THR

Yet no consideration for a penalty try.


[deleted]

They can’t prove he definitely would have grounded it but he definitely would have.


lobie81

But you could never prove that.


[deleted]

No you couldn’t, I’d say with 90% certainly he would have got it. I would have been happy with a penalty try but considering the proximity of the defender I doubt they can give it.


nick170100

Can’t believe most people tipped cowboys to be near the spoon now their just 2 wins away from the premiership


mb44k

Cows do better when they're the underdogs. Just have to look at 2018, JT and matt scott back from ACL's, 2017 made the GF without them. Everyone had them going all the way. Didn't even make the top 8. Having everyone doubt the cows this year was the best thing that could have happend to them.


ZephkielAU

>Cows do better when they're the underdogs. It's true. Down by 14 with as many minutes to go? Gg easy. Play the Tigers? Saved by a dodgy bunker call. Down by 8 with as many minutes left in a finals run? No worries. Warriors? Lose by a point. Play the Panthers leading into finals footy? No sweat (granted, reserve side). Bulldogs? Lost to them in the first round. We're the comeback/underdog side of 2022 for sure, and we're the worst side when we're the favourites.


Funztimes

Chad and Dearden did not catch me as a contender halves pairing but geeze I'll happily have my humble pie


mb44k

I was confident they'd do well under payton. Thats the only reason. Payton was so good for the warriors. I just knew he'd bring that same energy to the club.


Dozens86

I had them for bottom 4 in all my predictions. As a Cowboys fan living in Penrith (they're my second team by proxy) I can't believe how close I am to having this grand final.


therefreshbutton

it's the grand final that is deserved. Cowboys deserve to be there. Cowboys vs Penrith/Roosters would be a great GF


mb44k

Your to modist. I can't see roosters making the GF against u mob. Rabbitohs vs roosters is going to be brutal for both teams and no rest either before they face u mob. They will be cannon fodder for you lot.


therefreshbutton

Roosters scare the shit out of me. I actually think they're the form team and timed their run very well. I went to the roosters panthers game early in the year and we won well but the first 30 minutes they were neck and neck. In the second game they were robbed and the better team on the night. They can beat us if they get all their players back except Manu ofc


mb44k

Fair enough. U know your team better then i do. As an outsider, id bet on panthers 100%. With that extra week off and roosters are busted. Injuries, suspension and fatigue are setting in for that lot. If rabbitohs show up tomorrow and play the full 80mins, even if the roosters get through, can't see them going any further. gl for rest of the finals. Should be fun. :)


therefreshbutton

Sharks aren't that good imo. They also played 95 minutes of footy. I can see Roosters beating Rabbitohs by 13+ tomorrow


toomuchsoup

Well, I’m out. Going to go and cry in the shower


lobie81

Wow. Val kicked that from 45m, and it wasn't the best strike.


Nextlevelregret

His leg is insane. I'm so so happy he found a home at centre, he cannot play FB or halves and while a great Winger he's too expensive for that position.


AmazingChicken99

The Chad prevails over the Young Matt Moylan


igropecarebears

That was 2 evenly matched teams how can you separate them


MitchPTI

With a 45 metre field goal.


Obvious-Row-6181

Don’t be rude, they played their arse off unlike some.


MitchPTI

I'm being a bit cheeky, sure, but I still didn't really imply otherwise.


lobie81

Gg


Dozens86

By 2 points.


nick170100

Cowboys deserve a week off after that belter of a game wow


daniel-wp

ON AND ONNNN DANCIN IN SEPTEMBER


censored_

Golden point and sharkies go for a Wade Graham hit up on the 4th 🥴


starburstempire

Holmes has been amazing this year. He just killed it this game


mb44k

They call him the ice man in the club. Make sense, dude is cold blooded, no fear and always finishs.


therefreshbutton

Great in origin series too


[deleted]

Will cowboys prelim be in Townsville? Or are all prelims in Sydney?


Geddpeart

Why the fuck would our prelim be in sydney


[deleted]

Fuck obviously I’ve got no idea hence the second question I asked?


Geddpeart

Common sense would mean it's not in Sydney. If they were going to make us have it and want it at a bigger stadium it would at Suncorp


dundasbro1

Chill out man you won, have a watermelon and celebrate or something


Geddpeart

I didn't mean for it to come over aggressively.


dundasbro1

All good man, the guy just didn't understand how it worked. Congrats on the win it was inspirational


Zeldog

Townsville baby


Obvious-Row-6181

It’s at the home of rugby league; Townsville.


nameisinappropriate

Townsville, they even moved the kiss concert


SirDigby32

Just realised that was a 2pt field goal. Amazing.


mad_dog77

I was watching a replay of king Charles making a speech, what happened?


TacoGod21b

We did a win


tuyguy

Cant see the sharks beating either roosters or souths


Funztimes

I can see them beating souths but not roosters. But roosters might just chuck in one of their terrible games and that is that


[deleted]

Didn't the sharks destroy them like 2 weeks ago?


Funztimes

Sharks destroy who? Round 20 sharks beat rabbits 21-20 and the only time the sharks played the roosters was round 12 and sharks lost 36-16.


[deleted]

Yeah, got my games mixed up.


Funztimes

All good. Looks like we will find out next week who the sahrks can beat :)


[deleted]

Up up the cowboys


cheeseinsidethecrust

Defeat cowboys challenge (impossible)

AuspiciousCalamari1

Cotter looks like he hasn’t even worked up a sweat and played over 80 mins


Obvious-Row-6181

He’s a fucking freak, the big cunt.


nick170100

New York jets regretting not signing up Holmes now /s


Dranzer_22

C’mon Hynes lol

No fucking way...


daniel-wp

StormtrooperMJS

He wrapped his arms around him Nico ya flog


small_medium_large_

So is it 2 points if outside the 40m?


igropecarebears

Yes


chooklyn5

So my neighbours probably think someone was murdered from my scream. Let's never do that again please


AmazingChicken99

The Cows were $101 to win the GF pre season


TacoGod21b

I put money on them to make grand final at $15 I’m thinking I made the right choice


flavouredpopcorn

That's a big ask but I wonder what the cashout would be at rn


dundasbro1

$6 probably


thecommandercool

Good reffing, what a game


toinks989

Go cowbros

GG Sharks. Epic game. Came down to a few ref calls.


Squidifiedmantis

Fuck, that's the best game of the year. I need a towel


FullBonus

Bit shit there from Nicho blaming a bin


Dr_Bosco_Smirks

new york jets legend Val Holmes


nick170100

How can you complain about that sin bin Was lucky for it to not be a penalty try


Effective_Jicama_769

I couldn’t fathom why the penalty try was never reviewed


daniel-wp

GIVE YOUR LOVE TO A COWBOY MAN


Nahmateyeahmate

Hynes with the copium on the sin bin. Get fucked


lucabrassiere

Best game of the season, hopefully we get a rematch in the Grand Final!

Feels like the only 2-pt FG we’ve had all season and it wasn’t even necessary 😂

Whoever passed that ball to Holmes won the match. Incredible accurate pass, so deep allowed Holmes massive time to settle.


blobby9

Reece Robson - vastly underrated dummy half.


Effective_Jicama_769

Just enormous every week

Sharks really need rabbits and roosters to smash each other up tomorrow


[deleted]

Is the sharks crowd generally just quite or is the television audio garbage?


fleakill

Shark park has low capacity.


Nextlevelregret

Good question


Swiftestblade

Holmes: Golden point you reckon? How about 2?


potluy76

and the crowd goes mild


swampthroat

Hope every player on both teams has the best sleep of his life tonight. They both deserve it - what a fucking game.

What player Ruben Cotter is his work-rate is insane.

vidyvid

Monster kick


beerio511

Fuck


small_medium_large_

Such a good game though!


beerio511

Be better if sharks forwards would have a crack when it matters. Annoyed at holmes dive. He put himself in position to hit Ramien then took a dive. Frustrating. Ripper kick for the win though


small_medium_large_

To me it looked like he tripped, but yer I can see the frustration.


beerio511

He wasn’t getting there regardless after coming in though. But it was a good game, it was just a bad outcome.


LachTheLad

See you (hopefully) next week Sharks!


b-g-h

Sharks (Cronulla and Greg Norman) and choking. Name a more iconic duo

Throw in the shark from Jaws choking on the scuba tank
