[Bulldogz82]

The nrl will making it waaayyy too obvious that its all a set up these days
2014- souths...43 year drought
2015- cowboys- first premiership
2016- sharks? First premiership

I get the nrl is a business but come on!!!

2012- Storm redemption
2013- Return of SBW
2014- Ring the Bell
2015- Maiden finals victory
2016- Harrold Holt and Asada redemption feel good story

Yep NRL is scripted. Proof is the blatant forward pass that the refs let go...

Agree...3 officials directly inline with that pass too

 

[Bulldogz82]

Maybe we will get our winning "script" by the nrl after a 30-40 year drought loll

 

[Moedogg]

2017 - will be scripted for the under achieving Warriors

I can bet my left nut, if not next year then the year after eels are lifting the trophy.

Come to think of it eels would be perfect fit for next years script after the season from hell this year.
Eels warriors gf next year, already planned lol

Yep! Parra are definitely getting a premy soon. Especially because the wanderers are killing it in the "west", the game needs to ensure success to keep people interested

It's not like our clubs makes money or carries footy in Sydney and NSW against the other codes...

 

[Dognacious]

I dunno. Thought sharks were clearly the better side despite 1 bad call that i can recall. The scoreline flattered the cows, sharks clocked off at 32-6

 

[blueyedsamurai]

3 teams I've got, Raiders,Warriors or Eels for 2017 premiers. Each team has a heart warming story of redemption.

 

[CHUCKYBOY]

The knock on call on Scott was the turning point along with the forward pass. Fans are not stupid and realise it has all been set up the way the Nrl wanted. The refs are out there clearly putting teams on the back foot. It's all a corrupt organisation and would not be surprised if losing teams are being compensated one way or the other. Broncos v Titans game few weeks back blatantly proved to all of us how this game is run. There was even a mention that the refs on field communication was dubious in that game. Nrl = match fixing.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Cowboys looked like they were:
a) tired
b) wanting to be anywhere else but playing footy

 

[_G-Dog_]

The reffing is a disgrace..

That said the porchlight will remain on this year

 

[GrogDog]

Don't forget they are building Warriors up now too. NRL = WWF

 

[Freakzilla]

Bulldogs over cap in 2002 win comp 2 years later.

Storm over the cap in 2010 win comp 2 years later.

Eels over the cap in 2016 will win the comp in 2018.

Next year will be another "fairytale".

 

[chris_e_fresh]

No one has mentioned he ceo coming out and saying

This is why we need the salary cap to make all teams the same blah blah blah

 

[chris_e_fresh]

2014- Ring the Bell

Also this is when I started to lose massive interest in league

 

[Bulldogz82]

Sharks were clearly the better side but it only takes one or two bad calls at crucial times to keep a team on the backfoot, its so hard these days to gain your breathe back with the limited interchanges so it only takes a couple dud calls by refs to help rig a game...that forward pass try was a huge moment considering when it happend

 

[Wolfmother]

I understand the need to keep the game flowing and forward passes do get 'missed' to avoid stopage of the game BUT If a try is being reviewed for authenticity then I dont understand the logic ( or lack of) for not reveiwing the 'forward pass'
And particularly in a finals game.

At least let this be a captains challenge.
