NRL finals footy discussion 2026

First time Kayo viewer this season and one thing I’ve noticed about Cronk and his commentary - he always waxes lyrical about the Roosters and his time with them, but rarely mentions or praises Melbourne, rarely talks about his time with them, though he did make the odd reference to Bellamy’s coaching.

You’d swear he spent the majority of his career at the chooks and only a token year at Melbourne, it’s really odd. By all accounts he’s a former Rooster through and through. I guess those brown paper bags from Uncle Nick can change your whole perception about loyalty and where you achieved your major success.
Isn't Cam Smith affiliated with the Broncos now too?
 
Since round 24 the roosters have had 4 games under Gee for 1 loss ( they had their reserve grade side in)
The other 3 games under various refs they have lost.
Gee lets the game flow and ignores ‘line speed’ (offside)

Now they get a 9 day turnaround to the GF whilst Penrith who haven’t lost a game in the semis only gets 7 days

Who will be the GF ref —- GEE of course

Roosters ✅✅✅✅
Gee changed his style drastically lasst night
Week 1 Wahs v Dolphins and week 2 Roosters Sharks were 6 to go athons

Last night he.put the whistle.away

Agree. That is the problem.
All refs are different but the same ref should be consistent with there game.
When they have a style you can plan for it.
I don't mind how a couple of refs have a different style but the same person changing? That is a major problem.

He this week became favourite to do the GF when Klein was dropped.
Last night he reffed better than he has but it just goes to ahow how they can control a game depending on whatever reason they want
