Of course they are. They ain't ****ing mugs.

Jobe will be a big addition to Jaffas, they have a fantastic keeper in Ireland and are solid in defence and with Maj up front they have some attacking punch with Dries and the two wide mids and they play some good stuff in the final 3rd and Magic are not the strongest at the back.

What will be a loss for Jaffas is young Abe Wheelhouse limped off in the second half.Magic will start deserved favourites but are no certainties and many will view Jaffas as a big show

Have heard Abe will be out for a while, may have broken a bone in his foot.

Agreed member,a fantastic keeper. Why is this kid not at the jets.

I honestly thought Ireland was much older...good keeper but ffs how bout takin the goal kicks yourself. Thought George Rose was solid for Jaffas up front today

haha i dont see why the goalkicks is an issue at all. he actually has a massive kick when he needs to, he has had a history of knee problems so doesnt see the point in risking injury, no matter how small the risk, and if he can just get someone else to take the goalkicks it makes sense.

It does look odd particularly when he does regularly kick clearances long from back passes and hoofs it up the park from the hands without any hesitation or apparent concerns yet the rest of the time won't take a goal kick :sigh:

yeah definitely unusual- just means 1 less kick he needs to do i guess

As long as you dont want to play out from the back successfully or mind keeping everyone onside on the return ball should be no worries

Playing out from the back is fine, but what we're missing is that transition phase. It was nonexistent last year.

And in the grand final, I reckon the Jaffas can get up over Magic. They would have learnt from the semi final.

anyone know why the forum isnt working on mobile phones

Jobe to get his usual 2 yellow cards for playing down a few grades.

The liney on the near side doesn't seem to be very good. That ball just before clearly went out. Good to see that the consistency with the ref's is nationwide. A leagues crap, my local league is crap and now it looks as if the nbn state league is crap aswell.

Started watching the 2nd half with this, it was actually brilliant. Hats off to NBN and the State League.

The stream is great.... but it just died :(

good thing it wasn't a close game then

NBN grand final replay on Saturday 1.30 pm NBN

Was very good coverage really, though the cameras were off centre.....odd that Rabs was there and not next door watching his beloved Knights. His commentary was sometimes cringeworthy - typical of a league guy trying to cover the round ball game ( I remember Daryl Eastlake doing it once). One good moment when Rabs head gets into shot !

Also sounded like an old fashioned stereo LP - voices to the left and crowd to the right ? Picture quality was excellent.

Levity comes from the sage words of Newcastle's very own "Mr Football" - Bridgey.

who's coaching the buds ?
