Honestly think you guys win the comp/gf comfortably in 2014 with a better than average half. James Graham's ball playing has covered over how big of an issue it for you guys imo. I've been told by a pretty reliable source that if Cronk does leave Melbourne the Dogs is where he will end up. Having said that though they did also say he's a good chance to be staying in Melbourne:lol:

Classic Roosters crowd, fucking nobody there :lol:

What is it with Allianz Stadium and shit crowds??

Its also the worst game for the season too

Farken hell Newcastle have some major issues.

Will take years to fix that club.

the aftershock of the tinkler years :\



Im sure there were more people at the shute shield at sydney university oval number 2 this afternoon (it was ladies' day) than there is at the sfs right now

Honestly I'd give both my legs for a half that could control a game rather than one who either bombs to the fullback or give it to Josh Morris on the last.

Feel like we'd be much better off with Reynolds at 9, Mbye at 6 and a half who can take control at 7.

Coote's 40/20 3m off the Manly line.

Phwoarrrrr....

I was tempted to come here and brag about the Roosters being back after tonight..then I watched that Cowboys first half:lol: Unbelievable footy. I'd feel bad for the opposition because no team can match this quality other than Brisbane, but it's Manly so fuck em.

lol @ Lyon diving.

Finally a Broncos day match.

Finally not on a Friday night :lol:

-PB

A couple of poor matches (Matches you would tape over on the old VHS) leading into rep week

Someone take Fittler out back to be shot.

Nine's commentary team is so shit lol.

That would've been try of the season for the sharks - if it wasn't for the two blatant forward passes, being in touch and knocking it on.

Cronulla upsetting one of the big three this season

Cowboys
Storm

and Broncos (but theyre the closest to being a pretender of the three)

Toppa da lig.

Got corp box for Cowboys v Broncos too.

24 hours till the Eels get reamed out of this season.

-PB

Fuck you! :evil:









But yeah, youre right. :lol:









:(

lol docked 12 points and stripped of their Auckland Nines title.

Wonder if they lose the prize money as well.

-PB

gotta say the nrl has been particularly enjoyable this year

I'm just annoyed that we (Canterbury) played and lost to the Eels twice already. Once they shed players and have nothing to play for, they will be a lot easier to beat. Robbed of 4 points ;)

Very interesting to see which players they shed. They can't exactly do it easily either. They have to find clubs willing to pay the players the same amount the eels are, with any difference still coming out of the eels cap. Unless they handle this very well from here it will cripple them for seasons.

Fucking :lol: Parra

Breaches in 5 of the last 6 seasons
$3m over the cap since 2013
More than $500k over this season
Can't get pts this season until they're back under the cap
Breaches aren't just from 3rd party deals
Agents and players conduct to be looked at
Club literally gave players cash outside the cap

Yea I'm not sure what they are going to do, they've signed a ton of guys leading into this season and I'm sure none of them will want to move on after just changing clubs.

Best case for them - move on Junior Paulo early to the Raiders, get rid of Moeroa (he's an overrated cat - but would be highly rated by many clubs) + a combination of De Gois, Edwards, Folau, French, Gower, Kelly, Morgan & Wicks. Not sure if that would be enough.

This is a huge opportunity for so many clubs. I'd love it for someone like the Tigers to sign Ma'u after just signing Taylor, would completely overhaul their pack in a matter of weeks.

Parra can't even cheat the cap right :lol: at least us and Melbourne cheated the cap to be good, the Eels somehow managed to cheat the cap and finish last in 2013.

So starting this season finals games will change to 5 minutes extra time each way, then golden point if scores are still level after that. I don't see a need for golden point at all but still a move in the right direction. They need to make the same change for origin as well.

Wally Lewis trying to justify Semi's professional foul as the right thing to do.

What a fucking idiot.
