Interesting theory thats done that rounds very often.

However i'd like to suggest you'd have a tough time convincing 34 players to play a game exactly how you wanted them to and also the players making it look legit.
You wouldn't have to convince 34 players only a few and MONEY TALKS.

In my heart I hope it ain't a rigged event, but with all the hoopla, Media Coverage and the dollars involved it is quite possible that a few players could take some big dollars on the side to f#ck things up. It's happened in cricket and other sports, so why not Footy !

Of course it's fixed, but I'm just not sure how the coaches say 'Ok guys play tough tonight, but lose!'

The NRL is trying to make league a regular sport in Victoria to try and steal fans from AFL (which is a gay sport IMO). So it's obvious that having the decider in Melbourne would be a great way to build up the game there.

It sux for us that we have 4 guys out for another game in 3 weeks.

Yes. SOO is controlled by a ASIO. It's used as form of mind control for the masses. I've said too much....

That is more like it. They use the soothing tones of Rabbits Warren to brainwash people to join the armed forces ... hence the mumerous "war" analogies over the years.

You're very close to the truth. Be careful. They're watching. One day we'll come for you.

There is no way in hell the game is fixed!!!
Imagine telling Mason to throw a game - he would punch you in the face.

Players careers and reputations are on the line, I know every man has his price but I can't see where the NRL would find the money to pay off 2 teams plus all the coaching staff.

Imagine if the TAB found out - they would loose millions.

The Blues just lost to a better team, The game in Melbourne was very close to being sold out before the game even started.
