If sharks win it....

[Boxer]

The game is corrupt and it proves when sutton the dud is reffering after that Broncos -Titans match.
How is he still able to ref a game after fucking up the Titans ?

 

[Bulldogz82]

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.

Agree....captains challenge might help in situations like this although im sure if there spending 2mill on this bunker they should get the technology to rule on a forward pass, the same way a straight line in soccer can rule on offside and same way nfl can rule on a first down with a line of technology

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".

If Sharks win it's because of the drug cheating. The nrl loves to reward any type of cheat.

 

[The DoggFather]

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

At least the WWE doesn't pretend to be legit.

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...

2018 - 30 years since Terry Lamb KO'd The Black Pearl

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

What about Newcastle....won one only 1 match in 2016, to be premiers in 2017. What a fairtytale

They dont have the squad capable of winning games. Its funny how Newcastle were the team that made the superleague lose the war but now no one really gives a shit about them.

 

[Realist90]

Cowboys won their first premiership last year its only fair and politically correct of the nrl to rig the game for the sharks to win

 

[Jackson.CT]

2014 final is proof enough

 

[Jackson.CT]

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

Our sob story will be that we will win it when the refs cant make the other team win, opposition will have 16 players on the field and throwing it forward like american football, but we will some how win.

H

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".

Hope we cheat the cap next year so we can win the comp in 2019

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!!!

I picked this at the start of the year so did @ASSASSIN

In many threads earlier on in the year

 

[FaceBreaker]

I'm pretty sure it's set up for Gold Coast to win it next season.

Hayne, the need to growth in that area etc. I hear Archer already has a penthouse apartment promised to him if he can get his refs onside next year for the GC games.

2014 - Souths were far and away the better team... they played better than we did in the GF. If you watched the GF, you would agree
2015 - Cowboys left it to the dying seconds. They did not turn off in defense, the Broncos did. They did not knock-on in extra time, the Broncos did. The Broncos lost the GF more than the Cowboys won it
2016 - If the Sharks win, you can't deny them. 15 straight win, leading the comp for most of the years. The stats speak for themselves.

 

[Wahesh]

Also just as a side note, the competition being open to all teams is what makes the NRL a success. Imagine if it was like the EPL in the 90s when Manchester United won everything, or the La Liga which is a 2 horse race between Barcelona and Real Madrid every year. How boring and lifeless will the competition be? The comp like this not only makes it more exciting, but it makes players and fans more appreciative when their team wins the Premiership. Souths and The Cowboys are prime examples of that.

Im not saying they wouldnt deserve it or its such a massive rig, its more along the lines of the nrl has a script to make them more money and over the course of the year those certain teams get heavily favoured by refs with alot of 50 50 calls or just dud calls, the team itself still has to obviously play well the refs cant do it all loll
