NRL Finals Week 3 *spoilers*

[Spud_Murphy]

Whole league community will be behind the green machine ?

Why?


Ok - then the answer is - I'm going for the Storm.

I still remember 1989, even if some don't.

So you are supporting a team that was proven to cheat the cap
A team where a Queenslander is the captain
Who comes from a state you appear to loath
Over a team that beat us fair and square in 89
Because Warren Ryan took off Roach and Sironen with 10 to go
Makes sense
So what your saying is you love Cameron Smith
Now we all know the Truth

Who will you choose between Melbourne and Penrith
Or should I say Cameron or Ivan

Melbourne

They didn't do anything to the Tigers, like beat us in a GF, Get off the Bus, or the 1909 Fiasco.

Sure they cheated - probably still are. Cameron Smith is a QLD'er, hate Melbourne as a place.

Hate Smith as a cheat but he is still the best DH (not hooker) in the past 20 years.

So best of a hopeless choice of 4 is "The Storm' CT - I don't have to appease my wife.

Funny I see the advent of the Storm as being the main reason why Wests and Balmain had to merge in the first place and I have always resented them for it. Sick of Melbourne, sick of Souths, hoping for a Penrith/Canberra GF.

I’m not sure why anyone would hate Ricky Stuart - been a world class player in two codes - wears his heart on his sleeve - isn’t politically correct - his players love him - has a great tactical brain.

I was at “that” GF and Canberra never gave up. Hated the result but that’s footy.

The $100 I’ve got on the Raiders at $14 has got nothing to do with it lol

His reaction when he lost the Australian gig put many off ....I was one of them ...but have heard the stories about how wonderful he is with his Austistic daughter and how much he does for Autism Australia and must admit i've softened a lot

 

[GNR4LIFE]

It helps when he’s coaching a somewhat likeable club, unlike every other club he’s coached.

 

[gallagher]

I started liking him when he walked out on Parra

 

[rustycage]

Ricky's doubters might end up with egg in their faces. He's a bloody good coach. Go you Raiders.

 

[Furious1]

I’m warning to Penrith this week. While Souths have the attack, I don’t think they have the defence to hold Penrith’s. I think the Storm can pip them though if that’s the GF.

I agree. Penrith can attack as well as Souths and their defence this year has been fantastic. The one thing they have on the other teams i think is enthusiasm. They just never stop coming which eventually wears sides down and forces errors. I really hope they lose, but they have been the best team this year by a fair way and i expect they will win.

Penrith will be hard to toss, but who knows, it wouldn't be the first time that a week off has taken the wind out of teams' sails.
I always thought I hated Souths but these days it's a 'no contest' when it comes to games against Penrith. Go the bunnies.

The Bunnies can't win. If penrith fall too far behind, Voldemort will summon the dementors.

Penrith vs Storm Grand Final. Storm to win. Love Ricky Stuart's passion and a brilliant player. Warren Ryan loss Balmain the 1989 Grand final with dumb changes. Also Benny hit the crossbar. Looks like Moses taking a leaf from his uncle.

Not at all, i never saw Benny give up.Benny is a knob off the field but one of the biggest hearted players who gave it all on the paddock

 

[Magpie1969]

Yes Benny was a great wholehearted player not like Moses. Heard stories about Benny being a bit of a ladies man and not the most popular player amougst his peers. I rate Benny alongside Steve Walters but Cam Smith is in a different class. I love WT but also love rugby league in general since 1977 so am not bias against other teams and players. Irrespective of the result 1989 was a brilliant Grand final.

A Harry Potter reference re: Voldemort and the dementors.

In Harry Potter, Ivan Cleary is Voldemort and you can’t mention his name less evil befalls you.

Not a Harry Potter fan? Me neither, but my kids are.

I give the Bunnies a chance ...the more open the game is the more the Bunnies chances improve
