… unless they draw!

Would be the most Newcastle thing to ever happen I think haha

Its funny cause one of the Raiders or Dragons is gonna sit in the 8 until the very last game of the round. Almost cruel

Almost...if there's a couple of clubs that's funny for though, it's those two

 

[Jatz]

How perfect has it worked out as well. Dragons/Canberra (albeit unlikely to matter) and Knights/Dolphins being scheduled to play together is an accidental stroke of genius.

Im sure some conspiracy theorist types will say its the script writers but...

 

[CURVE]

It's unbelievable to think that this is the biggest game of the round.

‘Means a hell of a lot’: Stakes high as fans go all-out for NRL’s sold-out ‘Spoon Bowl’

 

[D Jenn]

Eels with their attack should be winning 13+ but Tigers will be up for it in front of a good crowd.
But Tigers have made a few too many changes for mine with injury. No Bula, Douehi... a lot will be asked of Galvin. and Api'. Eels have been good for the last month or so.

 

[CURVE]

The Ref and the NRL desperate to stop Wests winning three spoons in a row.

 

[nobbyiscool]

This is a super fun game in a disgusting sort of a way...

 

[CURVE]

Parramatta are leading by 16 against the bottom placed team, and yet I'm still not feeling confident of a win.

 

[CURVE]

A little bit of trivia, this is the third "Spoonbowl" since 2011;

2011: Parramatta defeated Goald Coast 32-12 and ended up jumping Canberra to finish 14th.
2015: Penrith defeated Newcastle 30-12 and jumped Parramatta, New Zealand, Gold Coast and Wests to finish 11th

 

[Great8]

That should surely do it
Enjoy the three peat

 

[CURVE]

I'm feeling confident we'll hold on.

 

[CURVE]

I believe Parramatta may be one try away from a piece of history, they could be the first team to both score and concede 100 tries in a single season and not make the finals.

 

[CURVE]

And there it is, try 100 for season 2024.

 

[CURVE]

No team has ever won the Premiership after conceding 50 points in a game during the regular season. The Tigers can now be eliminated.

 

[CURVE]

Super happy, Parramatta win their second "Spoonbowl" in 13 seasons and avoid their 15th wooden spoon. Tonight was the second Parramatta game in a row where more than 80 points were scored, despite Mitch Moses not playing for a majority of the season we are a pretty solid offensive unit, it's just a shame defensively we are every bit as incompetent as the Tigers or the 2023 Dogs.

Maika Sivo is an interesting player, finished the season with 17 tries from only 12 games but probably conceded almost as many with his poor defensive play. Last week he became the quickest to 100 tries, just 114 games. He may have finished his Parramatta career with 104 tries from 115 games (90.4 tries per 100 games), which is a slightly better try-to-game ratio than Semi Radradra who scored 82 tries in 94 games (87.2).

 

[nobbyiscool]

What a frustrating team to support. Would've been super dangerous in the finals, but lost too many leads to rubbish opponents early in the season, and laid down for too many blowouts when we were done early.

 

[NSWCROW]

knock off the defending premiers , the Roosters and come back from 16-0 down v Dragons in a 3 week span arrrgghhh

Enjoying this while i can

 

[eddiesmith]

To think some people had Bulldogs as a top 4 side just 4 weeks ago

Barring the upset of the season, Sharks now have nothing to play for tomorrow. Should just rest the whole side.
