Grand Final 2002

[LionsForever]

Well, the finals are approaching who do you think will be in the Final Top 8 and what are your predicitions on the Grand Final!?

My Tip: Canterbruy Bulldogs v Brisbane Broncos who are currently 1st and 2nd.
Replay of the 1998 GF would be sweet.
(Most Important of them all)

In the AFL Brisbane Lions v Port Adelaide Power

Brisbane vs St George Illawarra ... they will come good just you wait and see
GO DRAGONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LionsForever]

I absolutely hate St.George Illawarra Dragons, I don't think they have a chance of the Top 8 they've got a pretty tough run home into the finals, although they have a pretty good team, Parra Scum Eels will just hang on and Melbourne Storm will wrap the Top 8 up.

I agree. It WILL be a Broncos Vs. Bulldogs G/F with the Broncos coming out on top again.
St George wont be there cause as my little mate Alfie said after the '92 & '93 G/F's "Saints can't play"

 

[ozcoltsfan]

dragons have a hard draw?
they play the Knights twice who are out of sorts
Eagles = Win
Souths = Win
Bye = Win
Roosters will be a win, i dont consider them a serious threat

Cronulla v Newcastle

Canterbury-Bankstown/Brisbane Grand Final in the NRL (current league position ... 1 and 2 respectively)

Brisbane/Port Adelaide Grand Final in the AFL (current league position ... 1 and 2 respectively)

You're really taking a punt there ....


... its called ... sarcasm

 

[topdon]

For the record ... i'm going for a Knights/Broncos GF.

 

[Possumisagun]

Eagles will not lose a game for the year, finish seventh, then go on to destroy everything in their path, win the next eight grand finals in a row, and create Rugby League history...

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the Warriors.

Perhaps because they have started showing signs that they don't have the self confidence to win it all this season.

Not a good time to rediscover old habits.

 

[mattyc2422]

I believe the Bulldogs will be there, as for the other team i'm not too sure. It could come from a few teams, but the Broncos were damn well impressive today against the Storm.....Cronulla are a dark horse to be there...

 

[LionsForever]

Well I still think the 2 toughest competitors in the comp are Brisbane and Canterbury and they'll come together in the big one.

 

[Ms.Storm]

For me it will be out of 3 teams :

Warriors
Bulldogs
Broncos

All 3 fantastic teams, and if Joey Johns stays on the Park, the Knights are a big show.

In the AFL :

Brisbane
Port Adelaide

Cheers

Ms.Storm, wouldn't you like a Brisbane Lions v Melbourne Demons or a Brisbane Broncos v Melbourne Storm Grand Final at least no Sydney teams.

Yes, and you could possibly add the Sharks in there aswell.
Can someone please help me out here with the Finals series?

Is it still 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5?
Is it possible for the Warriors to host a home game in the Preliminary final? The Warriors have been a stand-out team this season, especially at home. It's hard to see the Bulldogs losing a game with the form they're in.

Sounds pretty good to me

But where could we hold these great G/F's

 

[LionsForever]

Both in beautiful Brisbane

It will never happen with either the NRL or AFL grand Finals. The NRL has contracts to play GF’s @ Stadium Australia and I’m sure the AFL is contracted to the MCG for another squillion years for their GF’s.

I would love nothing more than to see a non NSW NRL and a non Vic. AFL Grand Final

Go the Broncs.

 

[Latrobe]

This is how the McIntyre Finals System works:


Week One: Quarter Finals
4 v 5
3 v 6
2 v 7
1 v 8

Week Two: Semi-Finals
3rd highest ranked winner v 1st highest ranked loser
4th highest ranked winner v 2nd highest ranked loser

Week Three: Preliminary Finals
2nd highest ranked winner v 1st S/F winner
1st highest ranked winner v 2nd S/F winner

Week Four: Grand Final
1st P/F winner v 2nd P/F winner

There's a great finals predictor at OzLeague.com, so go there if you're still confused.

 

[Latrobe]

And this is my predicted Grand Final:

Cronulla v Newcastle

Clive Churchill Medallist: Chris McKenna
Premiers: Cronulla
Final Score: 24-18

Thanks for the above info on the G/F,,,,,,wasn't it the one the afl used 2 years ago?


Latrobe,
Quote: *Cronulla to win EVERYTHING* he he he.....not that you are biased one little bit, hey?

Is Chris McKenna still going to play in England next year and for what team, pls......or has this fallen thru?

Thanks
