Cleared to play.

Wow.

Bit farcical for those during the season that got suspended for similar tackles.

Well Geuraa did basically say that he dived during the hearing and jumped and dove into the ground. What would you do after that?

Yep Guerra fully admitted to attempting to get above the horizontal to gain a penalty.

If I was Isaac Luke I'd be fucking filthy :lol:

Did SBW go to the hearing and fully admit though?

No, because he's not a cheating scumbag like Guerra.

On that note, what the fuck is wrong with Guerra, what sane person throws themselves headfirst at the ground just to get a fucking penalty. Should be banned himself.

A few beers will do it

In the end it's not like I needed another reason to want the Cowboys to win, but got one anyway :lol:

Yeah but seriously Guerra should be thrown under the Bus for doing a fucking dangerous act to milk a penalty.

Fucking hell, Guerra actually said 'I'm still able bodied'. Jesus wept.

I'd also love to have seen what would have happened if Hodges and Guerra weren't QLD teammates

Come on cowboys ! one giving hodges the farewell to remember 2 not to have see bennets fugly mug trying to smile.

This is the reality. They're mates, and he helped out Hodges for that reason. I think you'll find plenty of instances as well of players intentionally getting themselves slightly above the horizontal to win a penalty, even though it is idiotic.

At the end of it all I'm happy though. For all his on field incidents, off the field Hodgo is genuinely one of the best blokes I've had anything to do with in footy

This lol.

Admitting to diving is going to be extremely damaging to Guerra's career. He's going to face the consequences of his actions. I really doubt it would be "just helping a mate" as he still has his career to look out for. Though i do agree that if it were someone he didn't know he might just let things roll out and potentially not admit but it wasn't just "i'll take all the blame for my mate hodgo".

There will be 0 consequences on Guerra's career :lol:

It does make Robinson's comment earlier in the year about how the Roosters don't play for penalties hilarious.

This as well lol.

Nobody will even remember this or care (unless Hodges scores 3 tries in the Final).

One day to go.

Christ NRL this pregame build up is utterly crap compared to yesterday. Dubstep and Smoke bombs for "Pre Game Hype", Band of Brothers references and music for retiring players and dragging out Cold Chisel for another pointless pre-game show.

The band of brothers bullshit has got to be the most overused cliché in Australian sport. I cringe every time i hear it

Oh fuck, Jimmy Barnes :lol:

This pre game show is like a cliché country pub on a Friday night

"Right lads, We need an exciting and fresh approach to this years GF entertainment and that means we need a decent artist to make the event appeal not just to the southern states but also overseas. "

"Katy Perry? She did the NFL"

"Nah we couldn't get her to come to Australia"

"What about Sticky Fingers? They are a local Australian band and the young kids love them. Plus they won't cost much."

"You fucking serious karnt. Like our match day audience of overweight, alcoholics and welfare slags are going to care about some hippy band out of newtown.

"Fuck it, this is all too hard. Get Barnsey and his dealer on the phone. He'll do it for a tenner and a case of beer."

TV on mute and Roy and HG on the radio instead. The only way to watch the GF

Fark when that kick went through and the red lights flicked on it looked like they unleashed flares from every bay :lol:

Fuck. Needed to go into half time in front

Need to cancel out that penalty asap.

Two cock ups leading to two tries, we wont be able to sustain any kind of back to back sets off our line.

Jonathon Thurston now has the mantle as the worst tattoo I have ever seen.

Dem angel wings.

They need their own float at the mardi gras next year.

Amazing moment

Thurston's kick hitting the post almost as big as Benny Elias's field goal hitting the cross bar in '89.
