NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 81 - Can the last green dot please turn off the lights

Great game of footy! Feel for the Raiders, wait, no I dont!

Definitely entertaining. Kind of a strange game, both teams just going through stnts of dominance and then ultimately struggling to clutch up to win it.

Always had a soft spot for the Knights, love watching Ponga, think biting should be at least 10 in the bin.

Will ride them through, don't think they can beat the Panfers or Broncos though.

Just saw the bite, looks pretty cut and dried. Souths new star centre going be sidelined for 1/3rd of the season

They wont beat us next week.....

Great game to watch….thought Ponga might get sent for a HIA there before he got a chance to kick.

It’s not really going to be a 950pm NZ time kickoff is it?

Capped it off with a high shot on Ponga.

Fox flashed up next weeks matchups, it said 3pm saturday (aus time) for the warriors v knights.

Yeah im guessing probably gets away with that because the penalty was already given and MRC are bad at their jobs?

Proud.

Congrats to the Knights, what a fantastic game, proper finals footy.

Common sense prevails.

750pm on nrl.com still, so was worried

That game had BITE

As a Knights fan ... I am over the moon that we finally won a finals game (1st since 2013).
It's been a loooong tough decade in the Hunter.

As for Wighton's bite, to quote Rickey, "He's a weak gutted dog". Should have been 10 ITB at least.
The Raiders played as I expected, bash em up thuggery.
As for Tapine, him lying down to milk that penalty sums up them as a team in my book.

Knights played better. Raiders played dirtier.
