2018 Grand Final Melbourne v Roosters

[GNR4LIFE]

Don't let the fact that the 3 panellists are separate from the NRL and don't work for the NRL come between you and the tin foil.

 

[innsaneink]

I find myself leaning towards the storm … Dunno why
It's like when you're at the dentist.... You know you got a cavity and drilling reqd.... And she asks "would you like a needle"

Oh yeah sure I love needles... Especially in a gum... Gimmee a dozen please

 

[Fade_To_Black]

I cant recollect ever feeling so apathetic towards a GF.No matter who wins the code is the loser.
The NRL are destroying the game from within

Yep. Would agree with all of this.

Still hope the Roosters brutalize those vermin though. (It does make a bloke feel pretty disgusting TBH having to lower themselves to barrack for Unca Nick's cabana-boys).

Roll on 2019, surely next season couldn't pan out any worse than 2018.

Common sense prevailed with Billy Slater's decision. A love West Tigers however love watching NRL in general.

Whilst Slater is not a clean skin one has to appreciate for such a small bloke he has had one amazing career in the toughest sport in the world. I have been watching rugby league since 1977 and never seen a full back like him. He has changed the way full backs play the game and 2nd highest try scorer of all time. Will be an immortal in the future along with Lockyer, Thurston and Cameron Smith. Would love to see a prop like Webcke or The Brick with ears also be consider as an immortal.

Storm have class all over the park and Cronk (who would be playing a record 8th Grand final if fit) is a big loss.

Storm by plenty and Slater to win MOM.

I suppose the one question most supporters are asking is the salary cap and third party agreements fair given Storm and Roosters have contested the last 16 of 20 Grand Finals between them.

The other question is how does a team like Storm loss in 2017 the Australian half back, Cronk, an Australian Prop, Jordan McLean and a Kiwi International second rower Tohu Harris and still make another Grand Final the next year? If it was WT lose players of this quality we would be using this as an excuse all year. Gotta admire the quality of the Storm system that demands quality every year unlike WT who appear happy just to try and scrape into the top 8\. One can only dream for 2019

Would happily share the tinfoil with the snowflake pinheads who moan "people only wanted to see Slater get found guilty only because they don't like him".

 

[patwalker]

In a perfect world the Rorters beat the storm 50-0 because the Storm are grubs. Then, a week later, Uncle Nicks second set of books are anonymously handed in and the Rorters are booted out of the league all together for 15 years of deliberate salary cap breaching.
Hey, I can dream right!?!?!? LOL

Yeah, because there is zero truth to that. Especially coming from those indiviiduals begging for him to be maimed. Yeah, no bias talking there is there :laughing:

Got a feeling Cameron Munster will be the man if the Storm are to get up.

First and foremost he should of been found guilty due to his tackle being an outlawed act in the NRL, most people who follow the game were of the belief that his tackle was outside of what is allowed in the NRL these days. That is why he should not be playing this weekend.
The fact that people are hoping for him to be knocked rotten on Sunday no doubt comes from the fact that he is an extremely disliked player, who is widely regarded as a filthy grub. I can see why that is, you can't eh?
He had a rule changed "in his honour" in regards to the cowardly act of shoving his boots into the faces and backs of blokes scoring a try. That fact is definitely worthy of him having true maggot status IMO.
He is also known as a bloke who is very happy dishing out questionable acts on a footy field yet acts like a true cat when he cops anything in return.
So to sum things up he shouldn't be playing due to his dodgy tackle but people will be stoked to see him carted off ANZ Stadium in a horizontal position on Sunday due to the fact of him being an extremely disliked player by many who have seen him play over his career.

Though I would never wish upon any player on any sporting field an injury, I would have to agree with your thoughts on B.Slater. Leading with the knees when the opposition were scoring, feet in the face, diving, etc etc, now this. As good a player as he is, that is the way I will remember him.

It would be incredibly ironic if he were to be laid out flat this Sunday with a shoulder charge, but I would assume the Chooks consider this type of tackle illegal?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Pretty sure he'll finish his career Sunday night, win, lose or draw, in perfect health, being lauded as one of the all time greats.

If he gets the slightest bump in Sunday he will be the first to complain to the refs and loudly.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

People are way off claiming its now open season and a guy like Napa has free reign. Nah uh. You can only argue that Slater beating the charge makes getting suspended a grey area, which it may well be. Players will still get penalised during games though. Whether it goes further than that is the talking point.

[Blackpearl]

Like many here don't have time for either side.
This has all the hallmarks of another "fairy tale" finish to slaters career. Sort of similar to sowfscum beating the dogs and ringing their bell :unamused:

Storm to win by 8 points, Slater MOM, and teddy to suck an egg

 

[jirskyr]

Agree Lauren, Tedesco can go to hell.

Also what a dumb reason to support the Roosters - because the Camden Rams wore red / blue / white.

Get the memo out to all Wests and Balmain junior clubs - all club jerseys must now be a variation of black / white / orange only. Gold perhaps allowed, so long as it's gold that looks orange.

Yeah, from outside the field of play after being launched there by a player charging at him at full pelt with shoulder cocked and confused as to whether Billy was going to step back inside. Gifted athlete, though butt cheeks over Norm Provan's ears would be a fitting memory for his antics over the years.

:laughing: Hopefully for Norm's sake it's only on the actual trophy!
Love your work FG, fingers crossed Billy cops a beauty on Sunday….an arms-back, jetplane Napa special on the bridge of his nose. As long as Napa's right hand touches him first of course :wink:

 

[innsaneink]

Unfortunately Napa wouldnt even get close to billy
