WELCOME
to NRL Finals Week 3

Everyone is welcome whether you've entered before or not.
There's just two games to tip this weekend.
There's no Sunday or Monday game.

FINALS WEEK 3 QUESTIONS:

*Poll Competition:
Which team in Finals Week 3 will score fewest points??

...And now the main event of the week

*Match Tipping Competition
Name the 2 (that's TWO) winning teams in NRL Finals Week 3 2012

*Points Competition
How many points will be scored by all the teams added together in Week 3 of the Finals?
This is a competition in itself and will act as a tie breaker for the match tipping comp if necessary. This is used as the decider when necessary so do give it a go.

There's no Home/Away win comp in the Finals Series

Fixtures:



Animated awards will be given for the winner(s) of each competition question.
Match tipping scores are added together.

See our Tipsters Ladder pinned to the top of the forum topic list page.
New entrants are always welcome: entering the comp is a great way to get involved in every game of the NRL this season.

Good luck everyone

Enjoy your Rugby League!

Just an hour or so left before the first of the two games gets going.
Last minute entries welcome up to kick off of first game.

[G Las D]

Oh dear, we've lost a couple of stalwarts this week!
There's no sign of regulars Southstander13 and Kiwityke.
Hope you are both OK

[G Las D]

Well we are up and running with Finals Week 3 games.

The first result is in for those ready to see it:

Spoiler

Storm 40 - 12 Sea Eagles Storm back in top form!

[G Las D]

That was a good crowd creating plenty of atmosphere BR. I looked out for you. There were plenty of celebratory crowd shots with all the tries scored.
It looked like a good night for a game.

[Bourbon Rat]

Was behind the corner camera & after watching the replay at home only the high centerline cam showed our spot a few times.
No voice left - Even after Fireball throat lube

[G Las D]

A quiet day tomorrow then!

[G Las D]

Enjoyed the game, especially the generous scoreline. Manly were closed right down and really only Jamie Lyon occasionally broke free of the shackles. Their forwards looked lacklustre and so they didn't create any sort of platform.
Storm on the other hand did and one way or another the score could have been higher. The commentators blew up at the bod try to Billy.
Maybe they were right. Technically they probably were. However when it was run through at normal speed there was then the possiblility of bod.
Once they go through movements frame at a time it can get ridiculous.
To be fair, if it had been ruled out I wouldn't have complained.
As it happened it wasn't a pivotal moment in this case.

[G Las D]

So it's Storm v Doggies/Rabbitohs next weekend.
Us six tipsters have split evenly in tipping tomorrow's game.
3 say Dogs, 3 Bunnies.
I'm looking forward to it

[G Las D]

Did you see Waqa pull up hurt in warm up? How did he manage to crock himself?

[G Las D]

Saturday result:

Spoiler

Bulldogs 32 - 8 Rabbitohs

Really it just didn't go Rabbitohs way after Adam Reynolds went off injured.
Dogs steam-rollered through to the Grand Final next weekend with a strong performance. Their forwards, especially Greg Eastwood, were dominant by the end.
