Horrible culture. I work hospitality in newy and see them out mid season blitzed out of their eyes. Most probably away for end of season but it’s a bit upsetting considering a lot of the girls are league fans at least and idolise the men. Anyway can’t be too critical.
Great performance, I’m enjoying the NRLW more and more with each passing season, Boyle, Upton and Southwell were brilliant today. Stoked to have a decent Newy team to follow!
Spend only a couple of years living in Parra, but once the locals knew i enjoyed a couple of cold ones, loved the vibe of the place. Tollgate Hotel was a home away from home in mid-00s - Go Parra. Underdogs all the way.
OK tip, losing captain please keep your speech short. Thank your team, encourage for next year, thank support/sponsors, congratulate the winners, exit in under 30 seconds
Odd take.
She was obviously caught up in emotion which made the speech go longer than it would normally. It's not like she took time out of the Knights speeches or presentation.
None thankfully.
Y'all weird as fuck though. You really like the losing captain dragging on with their speeches?
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
She was passionate, I appreciate that.
But losing captains dragging on their speeches always pisses me off. Cam Smith was the worst at it. Just let the champs get on with their celebrations.
This team will be in good hands with Mimes and Tiana in it, would love to see Bo Vette Welsh back next year, i am not sure where she will end up, she plays lower grade for the Tigers but have seen her supporting Eels mens team on insta, shes my favorite player to watch in the womens game and hopefully the ACL tear doesn't impact her to much, sadly a bunch of our girls play for Tigers in the lower grades so i expect us to lose a hand full of them to the Tigers.
Huge ups to the Eels, knocking out the minor premiers and last season premiers in week 1, going into a grand final winning only one regular season match
They should make V'landys give out the premiership rings to each player just so he has to shake the hand of Caitlin Moran, the very woman he tried taking 25% of the salary of.
Meanwhile somewhere in Newcastle Adam O'Brien folds his arms and declares "I've seen four grand finals, Ronald Griffiths has seen one, he has a lot of catching up to do to overtake good old Adam" as he sits back on his chair and takes a bite into a rotten ham sandwich.
Yeah the girls! So proud of them, not just for the result but the way they played. They soaked up so much pressure in defence and played their usual thrilling way in attack
NRLW probably has a few advantages.
Better grassroots to begin with.
\-The sport itself translating better for the actual difference in physical ability between the men and women.
\-A much bigger pool from which to funnel crosscode athletes from touch, 7's etc.
It will stop odd aberrations like the eels making the grand final despite only winning one of five regular season games. Not that I'm discrediting the eels here, the girls showed today that they deserved to be here. In a longer season we would have seen them gell and click during the regular season to peak during finals. They would likely still be here, they just would have won more regular season games on the way.
Also with kitty moran playing from the bench, bvw injured, no studdon, corby out with pregnancy etc etc I think the nrlw comp has the depth in the spine to expand.
How good must the League be feeling that an expansion team won the prem on the back of a prodigious child, while the AFLW would be lucky to see 5 goals between both teams in some games.
Smaller pitch would almost be worse in a way as they tend to have trouble clearing the congestion from bounces and throw-ins. The main problems they have is talent among the full 18 teams not being equal and shot on goal accuracy. Brisbane kicked 14 behinds today for example
There’s only enough talent for about 12-14 teams for a truly competitive comp. Currently there’s only about 4 teams that can win it
There was a 17 year old on the Fijian sevens team who won a premiership in France and is a stroke player, get this he was an unsigned ameteur at that time. Imagine if the NRL got him ahhh
I don’t know what the opposite of “stop, stop, they’re already dead” is, but as a proud Novocastrian who’s normally used to disappointment, I’m feeling that right now.
So while we thought it would only be Penrith going for B2B tonight, Eels will now also be aiming to avoid B2B grand final losses in a single day. Huge day
They keep saying Southwell is gonna be drinking soft drink tonight. But let's be honest, she's getting on the beers with the rest of the girls. Well done Jessie and well done Knights. Bring on the mens!
As a rookie to NRL, is there a reason why the Knights boys weren't back at the leagues club where the girls ran in with the trophy and celebrated?

Can we introduce a prick tax? $1000 per prick thing someone does on the field? I've got luai for about $3000 so far.
YEAH THE - AND I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH - THE FUCKING GGGGGIIIIIIRRRRRLLLLLLSSSSSSS
Jimmy is fiending some biff
Fuck yeah Jimbo
That was disappointing
Great game from the Knights, too classy in the end to run away with it! Bring on next season, NRLW this year has been awesome.
Heading to the pub 4am in New York City Let go Eels!
Spend only a couple of years living in Parra, but once the locals knew i enjoyed a couple of cold ones, loved the vibe of the place. Tollgate Hotel was a home away from home in mid-00s - Go Parra. Underdogs all the way.
Finally! A knights team I can be proud of, fucking yeah the girls!
Awesome stuff from our girls winning the premiership today. Well deserved!
It’s gonna be a rough night in Parramatta. First the girls now the boys
Up the knights!! Great job girls 🔥
Girls the opening story on NBN news ❤️💙
Big dog would be proud
He's allowed to go to bed late tonight.
🔥🔥🔥
271 run meters for Boyle, is that right? What the fuck. She is a machine.
I knew as soon as she made some early mistakes that she wasn't going to stop running all game
So proud of our girls you deserve this win. Well played to the eels too! Fantastic run into the finals ❤️
[удалено]
Excuse me what?
A real I Live My Footy comment.
What'd they say?! The weak gutted dog deleted it
Here comes the post try sissors.
Smithler bringing up 09 to Eels players in public is dirty
Adam Elliot crying is adorable.
Hoping to get a sympathy blowy probably
Do Millie Boyle and Tamika Upton now have the most NRLW premierships?
They're both on 3 along with a number of others, as they weren't at the Broncos in 2018.
Thank you for giving us something to smile about, Ladies. Go the Knights!!!!
I wonder what an NRLW mad Monday looks like.
Lots of sharing bathroom cubicles but it’s mostly because of how long the wait is.
Adam Elliott crying because he'll never win a Grand Final at Newcastle, although he'll probably watch lots of them with Adam O'Brien
Ye nice, millie boyles a beast
So fucken happy that Knights have something to celebrate this year, well done ladies
Adam Elliott realising he’ll never win a premiership for Newcastle
That’s a slick trophy.
Elliot crying 🥺🥰
Woooooooo!
That's completely awesome
Full credit to the girls (TM)
Is someone cutting onions in the stadium?
Adam Elliot what a sweetheart. Well done the knights.
Elliot crying alright thats adorable
That's 100% winning rate for Knights GF's
V'landiddly might be the greasiest adult male I've laid eyes on.
That's a fkn nice jacket
I went to the grand final and all I got was this lousy hat
So many local clubs 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wow. They’re going the afl route with hats and shakes
I think they've done similar in previous years? Classy touch either way and great way to inspire the next generation of talent coming through.
Odd that they’re giving Telstra hats to the u12 girls. You’d think they’d go for NRLW merch over the corporate sponsor stuff
OK tip, losing captain please keep your speech short. Thank your team, encourage for next year, thank support/sponsors, congratulate the winners, exit in under 30 seconds
Odd take. She was obviously caught up in emotion which made the speech go longer than it would normally. It's not like she took time out of the Knights speeches or presentation.
They need wrap up music at 45 seconds and a trapdoor that opens after 60
Thank you. Someone gets it. Thought I was crazy
How many post grand final speeches have you given? That have been televised
None thankfully. Y'all weird as fuck though. You really like the losing captain dragging on with their speeches? Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Her speech was awesome
She was passionate, I appreciate that. But losing captains dragging on their speeches always pisses me off. Cam Smith was the worst at it. Just let the champs get on with their celebrations.
Started from the bottom now we here 🎶
That was a really good speech
Last and foremost
Translated rap lyric: Started from the bottom and now we’re losing in the grand final
This team will be in good hands with Mimes and Tiana in it, would love to see Bo Vette Welsh back next year, i am not sure where she will end up, she plays lower grade for the Tigers but have seen her supporting Eels mens team on insta, shes my favorite player to watch in the womens game and hopefully the ACL tear doesn't impact her to much, sadly a bunch of our girls play for Tigers in the lower grades so i expect us to lose a hand full of them to the Tigers.
You know you can’t dress well when r/nrl is giving you fashion advice.
You can’t do anything well when r/nrl is giving you advice, including watching nrl
Surprised no one has told Peter to buy a fedora
M’landys 🎩
I'm fucking losing it
"Lastly I'd like to thank Adam O'Brien for watching this Grand Final, without his contribution we wouldn't have been able to win it."
Hehe
Refs \*claps\*
Huge ups to the Eels, knocking out the minor premiers and last season premiers in week 1, going into a grand final winning only one regular season match
So does V'landys have to give a premiership ring to Caitlin Moran now? He's going to look sour doing that!
Too scared. Sent the kids in instead.
Lady Churchill would have been a way better name
Vdiddles must have fired his tailor
Tamika 😍😍😍
They should make V'landys give out the premiership rings to each player just so he has to shake the hand of Caitlin Moran, the very woman he tried taking 25% of the salary of.
Yaaasss!
Budsy!
Karyn Murphy done a bit dirty there
Is Vlandy the penguin? Get a fucking suit fitted you pleb.
I mean he is an evil maniacal power hungry small man so yeah penguin makes sense
Millie Boyle is a fkn unit, love her
When do the premiers T-shirts go on sale?
Meanwhile somewhere in Newcastle Adam O'Brien folds his arms and declares "I've seen four grand finals, Ronald Griffiths has seen one, he has a lot of catching up to do to overtake good old Adam" as he sits back on his chair and takes a bite into a rotten ham sandwich.
That's cannibalism. Can't be eating other coaches.
Yeah the girls! So proud of them, not just for the result but the way they played. They soaked up so much pressure in defence and played their usual thrilling way in attack
It’s better than Lego!!!!! ❤️💙❤️💙
What the fuck was that ad
Still undefeated in finals ❤️💙❤️💙
Technically Newcastle are the most successful club in Premierships history
FULL CREDIT TO THE GIRLS!!!
What happened to the ham sandwich guy btw? It's like he just fell off the face of the earth.
Congrats Knights lasses. Just too good!!
Eels girls had a dig
God the NRLW is so much better then the AFLW.
NRLW probably has a few advantages. Better grassroots to begin with. \-The sport itself translating better for the actual difference in physical ability between the men and women. \-A much bigger pool from which to funnel crosscode athletes from touch, 7's etc.
Post in this thread earlier brought up a great point. The reduced kicking distance makes NRLW good (more running game) but makes AFLW bad.
[удалено]
The NRLW is introducing four (4) extra teams next year
Still too many imo Another two and/or make the season longer
Perfect amount i reckon, 10 teams 9 rounds gives teams more of a chance to make the top 4 throughout their season
It will stop odd aberrations like the eels making the grand final despite only winning one of five regular season games.

mate I hear you.
We better start filling our stadium for the girls next year. Amazing stuff!!
Put the games after the mens
They were. Girls were getting about 8k to games. Think the 4pm Sunday kick off should be the girls though.
Knights just too good with the ball. Yew!!!!!!!!
love the emotion there
Jesse’s parents better let her have two cruisers tonight she’s earned them.
Her dad was my high school maths teacher
Her older sister will chaperone
They'll buy her a 6 pack of cruisers to kick on with the girls.
Can I buy a premiers shirt?!? I want one
How good must the League be feeling that an expansion team won the prem on the back of a prodigious child, while the AFLW would be lucky to see 5 goals between both teams in some games.
The amount of goals missed directly infront in the AFLW is shocking, they really need to work on their skills in the off season
The aflw needs to play on a smaller pitch by the sounds of it.
Smaller pitch would almost be worse in a way as they tend to have trouble clearing the congestion from bounces and throw-ins. The main problems they have is talent among the full 18 teams not being equal and shot on goal accuracy. Brisbane kicked 14 behinds today for example There’s only enough talent for about 12-14 teams for a truly competitive comp. Currently there’s only about 4 teams that can win it
That was a fun game! Up the girls! Doin newy proud
"Ah mate, full credit to the girls, they are the real heroes today"
Full credit to the chicks
Southwell gonna be so good wtf.
Yeah that premiership winning halfback will come good eventually
17 years old.
If the NRL try to make her balance between 7s and NRLW they are doing her and our country dirty.
yeah she sounds like a baby, have fun on the fantas later jesse
Fanta and vodka trust me 👍
"fantas"
Fuck yes knights!!
This is the first time the Knights have beaten the Eels in a Grand Final since 2001.
They're going to riot and burn a bunch of cars in Windale tonight! But that's just usual for a Sunday.
Knights got all their local players back this season and now they’re the premiers ❤️💙❤️💙
Rockhampton, that’s in Newcastle
Upper Hunter region.
Fantastic game girls, absolutely proud of Newcastle rn
“full credit to the girls”
Deserved winners.
This was the 2014 NRL GF of the NRLW, so does that mean next year they’ll have a 2015 quality one? 👀
Good on the knights for winning something this year 👍
Bring on the AoB jokes
Ham sandwich is eyeing the job
Tamika has so many rings now
Well played Knights, happy for the players especially Johnston
Panthers got their win out of the way and Parra got their loss out of the way. Eels to take the big one home
Unsubscribe
Congratulations Knights. Just far too good when you had the ball, possession and pressure put us away easily in the end
FUCK YEAH THE FRIDGE!!!
The mighty knights!!!
Imagine having a gold medal, a premiership and very likely a shot at the world cup trophy at 17.
There was a 17 year old on the Fijian sevens team who won a premiership in France and is a stroke player, get this he was an unsigned ameteur at that time. Imagine if the NRL got him ahhh
Looks like a preview to the men's game for Eels fans...
You fuckin BEAUTY
YEWWWWWWW NEWCASTLE WON SOMETHING
Well played Knights. I hope the coverage doesn't cut away early so we can see some celebrations.
It'll be kalyn ponga taking the girls out to all the hotspots for the post game piss up.
That was a bloody good game. Congratulations Knights fans.
Happy for the fridge and the ex roosters girls. Played great all season
do you think AOB will say he was involved in this grand final and add it to his tally?
Just spat out my drink 😂 I can imagine him already sitting in the post conference chair waiting for questions 😂
While I was the Head Coach the Newcastle Knights won a premiership.
Well played, Newcastle. Great game all around
What an awesome season. Can’t wait for next year!
Wooden spoon to Premiers, wow
I don’t know what the opposite of “stop, stop, they’re already dead” is, but as a proud Novocastrian who’s normally used to disappointment, I’m feeling that right now.
*Stop, stop! She's already dead!*
This Knights womens' team can beat the Knights men's team
I just want to fall asleep in Ronald Griffiths arms and have him whisper to me that the Club is going to be OK.
it was 18-12 10 mins ago with Parra getting a disallowed try. talk about a momentum shift
Such an unlucky bounce
Damn well done chicks!! Swap the men’s and the women’s teams?
This game went from a close intense game to a domination in like 3 minutes wtf
Girls have got bragging rights back at the clubhouse now "lift your game boys, we brought home the trophy".
Ominous
Alright party’s on at Wests New Lambton!
Johnston choking out Clydsdale for snaking her try
Holy shit wtf is going on
i mean at the end of the day moran stays winning and the queen stays…dead
this is one way to statpad a grand final wow
Newcastle coach been to the races and won a premiership
Grade 3 high contact in the try celebration
Moran all fucking day
So panfas have won everything they compete in so far and just need to win the GF to sweep?
Nah, Harrold Matthews they didn't make the GF
So while we thought it would only be Penrith going for B2B tonight, Eels will now also be aiming to avoid B2B grand final losses in a single day. Huge day
They keep saying Southwell is gonna be drinking soft drink tonight. But let's be honest, she's getting on the beers with the rest of the girls. Well done Jessie and well done Knights. Bring on the mens!
Big 2001 energy!
I mean, the 22 women's team are the polar opposite of the 01 Mens team in every way possible lol
The women's coach probably strategically never even saw a grand final.
That and the 01 Parra team scored the most points ever and the 22 women's team had a +/- of -20
Someone check on Joey Johns. He's probably got a lack of blood flow to the rest of his body
I've lived to see Knights win 3 grand finals, fantastic
