Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2779148, member: 1899"] I've got to say, I heard Gus go on about how great that game was, how amazing the completions were... I didn't see much if any footy being played. What I saw was a bunch of one-out running, ruck infringements, dummy-half running and lottery kicks. Whenever players decided to play what was in-front of them, THEN the game got exciting but neither side really risked it. I didn't tip the winner, but the game played out as I expected it would. Canberra were the more assertive side and if it wasn't for a couple of bone-head plays they would have found themselves in the grand final. I thought tonight the players would be a little more switched on but Wighton and Lee couldn't help themselves. What happened to Leilua by the by? I had to turn the commentary off, Gus riding the Raiders home got too obnoxious towards the end. So Melbourne versus Cronulla ay? If it's any consolation, I don't think it'll be anywhere near the advertisement the 2015 Grand Final was. With that said, it's refreshing to see a side like Cronulla qualify for a grand final. Outside of 1997 where the code was split into two, this is their first grand final appearance since '78. If they happen to win, it'd be by far the more interesting story. The only silver lining if it goes the other way is that it will add to the legacy of Smith, Cronk and Bellamy. All three are sure-fire hall-of-fame candidates and all three deserve to have more premierships to their name. [/QUOTE]
