Can any of the other boys stand a chance against Joel in this event?

considering its on sand you just never know. some of the other boys have shown they can kick a ball. but in saying that I hope Joel wins he has been very entertaining and always puts on a show whether hes any good or not so it would be good to see him win this one. But if anyone should beat him it will be billy. Go Slater!!!!!!!!!!

Wouldn’t be surprised if Joel lost because he plays a fool to much.  Billy Slater will be up there.

Joel Griffiths wins his challenge event! Here’s how it played out:

Saves at goal:

Hooker - 2

Added to the goals they scored, we ended up with a five-way tie:

Griffiths - 8
Deladio - 8
Tuqiri - 8
Whincup - 8
Symonds -7
Hurst - 6

Tuqiri - YES

And in the final shoot-out…

Tuqiri - NO
Griffiths - YES!

Congratulations to Joel - and also to Jamie, the only person who came close to stopping one of Joel’s kicks with his body!

congrats to joel for finally winning a challenge! he has been very entertaining so I was very happy he got a win. How close was this challenge, I was impressed. All in all Loti was the winner of the day (winning the force plate boxing and coming 2nd in the soccer shootout) its going to be a fight for podium places in the last challenge! Go Billy!

haha the penalty shoot out was funny, Joel tried to take Billy’s head off. that made me laugh coz billy was all like “WOAHH!” nah, but congrats to Joel for winning.
