LIVE GAME Finals Week 3 Preliminary Discussion *Spoilers*

[BAGNF05]

You can’t sook because two clubs have gotten the best out of it.
They should be studied, not criticised.

When they studied the Storm they took their trophies away.

Good call!

 

[Telltails]

Robbo will already be putting together the shopping list

Will be really interesting to see what magic they come up with, no doubt players will fall out of their current contracts with ease.

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

What do you reckon they’re paying Eli Katoa? He’s nearly a million dollar player at most clubs.

🤔

A beast…and we have Bateman….

 

[hsvjones]

Can't hit the head with force. End of story. He is responsible for his tackle.

You should go back and watch it again.
He did not hit his head with force and was wrapping his arm around.
Didn't even need to be a sin bin IMO

 

[cktiger]

The game is going soft if NAS gets suspended. FFS.
There was a time that was a great tackle.
Storm's Spine is awesome.
Blore's decision to leave WT is looking an excellent one.
Penrith will thrash the Sharks tomorrow.
Two best sides will play the GF.

Talking of soft… what a dog pretending to be injured to grab a cheap penalty in the first half.

Good call!

I’m not the one bitching about the fortune of others.
There has been 35 seasons of salary cap and you are still crying.
Good call 👍🏼

 

[supercoach]

I agree, I also think the Chooks have a team that could win the GF. Finals football suits their style as the game is not controlled like a home and away game.

Sincerely hope Iam wrong and they get sent packing, but I think a upset is on the cards

As usual I got it wrong……thankfully

Those are the sort of contracts that need to be looked into. A weapon at Warriors, Storm pick him up. Then they handpick our best front rower. On top of all that existing elite talent. Good Accounting.

Collins knocked himself out!

They won two years after got caught cheating.
Seems fair.
Anyway, go the Riff.
Salary cap applies to them and they still win.

So they cheated then as well did they?
My god, how do you get through every day?

Canberra also in 1991 a massive rort.....made the GF basically no penalty.

Wouldn't want to be a Sydney club.

Never been a level playing field.

 

[upthetigers]

Munster and Hughes will be hard to stop in the GF

The punishment for systemic cheating is a premiership two years later. And opponents fans shouldn’t be suss? Or hold a grudge.

You do you. I’ll call them cheats.

Jonesy we get it, but Collins got knocked out and
ruled out for the game & next would have been with
next week with the Category 1 HIA. So now, NAS
will get hit with a grade 2 and serve 1/2 weeks...

Victim no.2 has entered the chat..
“What about meeeee? It isn’t fair…”

 

[supercoach]

Kevie gets the flick at the Bronks for underperforming, you would think a massive spotlight would be shinning on Robbo’s head at present.
A team with a 30 mil salary cap comes up empty again. Like most footy fans, I hope the club falls to the bottom of the cellar and gets relocated to the Macquarie Island

 

[BAGNF05]

The punishment was not winning premierships you bonehead, they had some taken from them.

Yes and they were allowed to keep a premiership calibre side including the big three together despite being caught with two sets of books. Hit with a wet lettuce.

Had they actually been treated more harshly at the time I wouldn’t hold the view that the NRL needs them to remain at the top. It’s an opinion, based on a lot of data.

To me, they are cheats. Didn’t do time, so no forgiveness here.

Funny I didn’t see Nathan Hindmarsh given a ring.
