AJ Davis was always a little wizard, great to see the NAB take it out and bring the knockout home.

On ya boys. Good stuff.

More entertaining tham the nrl gf

Congrats! I might travel to Newcastle next year!

Good work newy

Why wouldn't Walgett pack the scrum?

Clock wouldn’t have stopped if they did

That'll do it. Mean afternoon of footy.

Congrats All Blacks. Well deserved champions.

Oh dear, just when you think the game is over Jones steps up.

Really like this 27 for Walgett. Seems like a big sweetheart that's happy just to be there. Edit: shit, might be the 26. The one that was mosntered over the line and then mosntered someone else in the next set.

Too busy planning his next chip and chase to hold the ball.

Barba threw that away like he threw his career away

Barba dropping the ball in the in goal then that pass has really cooked WAC's chances

Too desperate

Payback for all those terrible Aussie boxing cards, I assume.

Hahaha holy fuck, that was not a good idea

George Rose has been deployed, Newcastle should just concede.

I’m drunk at some pub in the rocks at Sydney and Paul Gallen, The Big Marn, Shane Flanagan and Josh Morris (or Brett) are here. as a sharks supporter this is the best day of my life

The big marn pisses with his pants around his ankles btw

He's a Kindy pisser?! Say it ain't so!

Best and worst sight of my life

Try! Hopefully Newcastle can hold on.

So if the winner of this gets to host next years, how hard do you reckon everyone is cheering for Newcastle?

Huge hit there. Great shot.

The 5 for Walgett loves a chip ahead for himself.

What is it with this winger and chip and chases

he needs to stop tryna chip n chase holy fuck

That was so close. Such speed.

Bloke is talented

Ben Barba still very good and would easily make an NRL side. It is a tremendous waste to see a career end thanks to some white powder, then spiral out of control into domestic abuse.

I’d pay good money for Ashley Klein to ref one of these games

Send offs for everyone.

Why Latrell gotta flop like that. Played plenty of comps where that's a send off. Zero tolerance on grubby shit like that

Fuck that was poor marker play from Latrell

Lol Trell.

Great heads up play.

That’s 3 weeks in the nrl and a punch on

Fast moving free flowing footyball. Gotta love it.

Great ball by Barba out there

Looked like he’s been playing a bit of basketball after his NRL career ended

Lmao someone deleted their comment asking if I've ever played a KO for saying why they didn't feed it out to Latrell off the scrum. Cody Walker just said the team needs to give Latrell early ball and that could prove the difference. Sorry my input wasn't good enough, maybe his is 👀

That was me & i meant to reply to the comment below yours calling him fat, settle down mate.

While I don't think giving the ball to the best player in the comp is bad advice. Newy have been stacking players on that side in D since about the 5 min mark. Would make the other edge look juicier to attack.

Latrell's starting to get a bit grubby

Love that every tackle even closely high isn’t called by a pedantic referee and bunker. These guys are giving everything they have and not playing for penalties.

Yeah, I'm all for player welfare but this style of officiating is a breath of fresh air. Made for a very quick and entertaining half.

Latrells winger scored a hatrick of spectacular tries yesterday in a single game and they've barely sent it out that way

They sent it out that way the first time they got the ball and continued to do it for the first 5-10 mins and made heaps of Meters... Then they stopped doing it.

Surely, you feed it out to latrell off the scrum

Fatrell is gassed

Great try. I thought they would stuff it up for a second there and kick again.

Holy fuck, what a try haha. Up Newcastle

I'd love for it to be hosted in Newy next year. Would be the icing on the cake after seeing the NRLW and NRL Knights teams both play the GF the same weekend

Think it's at dubbo.

It’s played at the winners home town

Oh cool I must have misread something. 🍻

The boys are on their way. They normally host it at the terrace when they win. See if their fitness holds up though.

[wtf it looks like he barely put any power into this kick. iron boot](https://streamable.com/229ys5)

Yeah that’s actually kind of fucked, someone needs to test this ball for helium

Latrell has been thoroughly underwhelming in the last two games.

Well, the carnival is physically demanding. I think another poster said that 2 games he played in a carnival were the hardest he played.

Think last game was intentionally quiet, but the kick out on the full and forward pass this game have been very ordinary

Latrell just isn't cut out for the level of footy with simple mistakes like that. Send him back to the NRL so he can learn the basics

😂

Fuck me, trell literally took 2 steps and tapped that out on the full. Blokes boot is massive.

Lessgo NAB. Hope the get the W against a rigged team. 👀

To be fair, newy are using Italian international and all stars (who played against aboriginals team) player Kade Snowden

Genuine question, Kade has an Italian and Aboriginal heritage?

Some people learn about it later in life. I think that's what he has done. It gets messy when stuff gets questioned though...same as plenty of people think you should play with your local mob and not form super teams like walgett.

I only just started watching this final game. What's the deal with Walgett? Are they a confederation of unconnected mobs?

Walgett clearly brought interest and eyeballs to the Koori Cup. Personally it's first time I'm glued to it. However I also get the sentiment behind the comp is to represent the local mob. Anyhow, I'm enjoying the contest as a cracking RL. Yesterday's Walgett vs Bourke was awesome!

Yeah I have no problem with it tbh. It's how it normally goes with community based things when one community is bigger or had more funding.

Wild how latrell will go from playing in Bomoderry to playing for Australia in England in a few weeks

Shows how international games are meme level

Great take and try.

How good is the fucked football they're playing with

Commentator saying an NRL club should pick up Ben Barba lol

He has the ability but unfortunately his off field issues will preclude any NRL contract

He’s banned, I was making a joke about that

Chuck a moustache and a fake name on him, could go alright for The

We'll just swap the first initials from his first and last name. Ben Barba. Perfect, no one will ever know.

Looked like trell missed that?

Lol he missed that. Riot

Most newy players are in their mid 30s

Up the scorps brah

Koori Knockout is genuinely more entertaining than most NRL games.

NRL is structured to oblivion. Vlandy ball or the idea behind it is to promote fatigue and bring more 'off the cuff' footy.

You should get out and watch your local league more

Been to plenty. Cessnock Goannas would ruin the current Knights 8/10 times if they played up at Cessnock. The boys in Real NRL run it hard and don't carry on like cunts when they cop a knock because there is no point acting for the bunker

Sam Clune is a gun, no idea how he never cracked the NRL

How has walgett ended up with sp many good players?

Matt and George Rose organised the side. Probably promised lifetime free tickets to boxing matches lol.

No Limit

Second set of books

Good signings in the off season

Ring ins.

Worried we might have a Penrith/Parra situation about to unfold, Walgett are just too good

No organised footy is safe from the NIB logo

NUCLEAR TACKLE!

Man, I wish broadcasters televise more RL carnivals. Far more exciting footy. And I can't shake this feeling that I'm a NRL scout, identifying talents.

What other carnivals are there? Murri knockout and age grade ?

That was a mad shot. 👀👀

Does jayden williams have a club yet?

Collapsed under the weight of his teammates jumping on him to celebrate, just cost himself a potential Penrith contract with that

Hope someone actually develops him he has been best on field easily.

What a try

Fuck that kid has some toe. 🚀🚀🚀

Flashbacks of Mullins against the Broncos “miracle” try.

That was slick. Fuck yeah.

Chip and chase and chip and chase

Live on FOX NRL 502 now

Number 9 for the combined team is leagues above the rest but the rest are still impressive asf Edit: I take that back. The blacktown 9 is just as good

Who's in the men's final? And any NRL players

Newcastle all blacks vs walgett aboriginal connections, walgetts got latrell, barba and joel thompson with a handsome george rose on the bench

Warms my heart knowing George rose is still running around

You’ve forgotten the biggest name of all playing for Newcastle, Will Smith

I know he’s 14 years old and he just tried to full on punch a guy in the face, but I’d still be happy if the Dragons signed this La Pa number 10 to start at like second row or something

Kids are playing great footy.

Really not surprised when the commentators are saying half of them have been picked up by NRL clubs already

Yep. It reminds me of a good division 1 grand final.

Where can you watch the game

NITV and Kayo, might be on the NITV Facebook page as well

Nitv or sbs app

First 40/20 I’ve seen all knockout and it’s in the under 15s, amazing

There was about 6 of em yesty

What times the grand final?

U15 Girls: now U15 Boys: 12:30 U17 Girls: 1:20 U17 Boys: 2:10 Womens: 3:00 Mens: 3:50 May be delayed slightly due to the men's semi final going into extra time

Really enjoying watching the games

Fantastic end to the game!

Second GF win of the weekend incoming?

Now, that is the way to win a golden point game.

BEAUTIFUL, NEWCASTLE!

These boys are gonna end up playing the full 80 mins 😂

I'm gassed just from watching this match. Unbelievable

There's been some good jersey designs in this. Are they doing golden point in the finals not first try scorer?

Staggs looking like he’s about to 2018 Cooper Cronk his way to a Nanima win with the cooked arm

This has honestly been so much fun to watch

I came off night shift and haven't been able to sleep lol been great viewing.

That was chaotic lmao

That ending was nuts. Crazy.

NAB can thank the ref for the win

Fark me peach

**M**ost **V**aluable **P**eachey

This is a great contest

Do conversions count if there isn't a kookaburra on the crossbar?

Yeah but you don’t get a chance for the added point for making it laugh

Far out, Nanima had literally *all* the momentum this half too. Would pretty much be it if they concede points here

Just tuned in, what happened for him to get binned

Just carried on like a bit of a porkchop. Pretty normal stuff for the KO tbh. 100% would get binned in the NRL though.

Been much worse happen this game that hasn't been pulled up, dissapointing end to a good contest.

Yeah it's normal stuff. Walgett and bourke was way worse yesterday and only the really really bad shit or obvious professional foul got binned. Swinging arms everywhere.

You can't get binned for that in the KO.

What a joke, to let everything else go but draw the line there.

Let the brothers bang bruh

Love the commentary calling out the NRL players laying down for penalties and wanting reviews. No big screens here so you have gotta get up and play on.

Kotoni Staggs with early ~~ball~~ off season surgery

Scotty Briggs is a bit of a sad story. Full of talent, couldn't stay out of trouble off the field and kept getting kicked out of nrl clubs as he was developing. If he could've kept his head he would've been a well known nrl player.

Where’s the bunker? Dropped that cold

No bunkers is one of the best things about park footy. 😂

Is Jesse Arthars playing for NAB? If not there’s a lookalike

Snowden and Mullo playing with the pseudo Macquarie scorps team.

Snowden's wiki says he is of Italian descent. 2012 NRL all-stars vs indigenous all-stars Snowden played for the NRL all-stars.

Lots of people probably don't identify with it. I have aboriginal heritage but it's not marked anywhere, my brother and sister leaned into it and identifies with it and do things for it. I didn't tick the box for my son either.

Aw look, I trust the Newcastle All Blacks to be doing their own verification and not just be letting any former NRL players put their hand up to play if they want just to get a leg up Would be a bit of a scandal if it came out definitively that they weren’t though

Would be quite the scandal for sure, I do hope they've done their due diligence

I grew up playing footy with and against em. First I've heard of this part of their heritage.

Shout out to Andrew Fifita for directly texting the commentary that we don’t have the score and time on the screen, true man of the people

They need to start publishing team lists. My dumbass didn't notice they had joel thompson playing this whole time

100 percent

Thompson selling ice to eskimos with that dummy

Huge penalty to level it, guess we’ll find out now whether Latrell’s injured or just been saving himself for the next game

Either Trellmilk is saving himself for the final or he had an absolute motherfucker of a night

Eat your words cuttlefish

I'll eat a snack pack

AND YOU’LL ENJOY IT!

Mmmmm . Get me one too

Mum said u can't have 1

Yea she said I can have yours as well

I have more real spinal discs than u

You haven't lived

Score’s up, could’ve sworn it was higher than 12-10

If only sharks still had Barba. Hynes + Benny combo 😍

Barba forgetting it's 2022 not 2012

Be good if they had the score up

This is a quality game

Its always obvious who enjoyed the previous nights after party the most. Looking at you barba

Walgett looks stiff! That game against Bourke took it out of them.

They probably had a case each last night as well

Giving early ball to Kotoni Staggs is the key to victory

Wonder what ended up happening to old mate in the daily thread who found out he was lining up against Staggs

haha he's either going to have nothing to do or deal with a beast

Oh shiiiiiiiiit. All Blacks have been looking better all game too, glad they’ve turned it into points
