If this is what the NRL conspired for, they must really have it in for their fans.
The hardest decision any neutral fan will have to make is going to come on Sunday when they have to choose between who they want to win out of the Roosters and Sea Eagles, since unfortunately they both can’t lose.
But who is the easier to hate?
The junior-less Roosters are the masters of chequebook rugby league.
Uncle Nick and his boys from Bondi dragged to the grand final on the back of some astute theft. Your favourite team was no doubt affected by their reckless spending and if only your club had their financial clout, they’d be in the grand final too.
Their second best acronym, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was poached from the peninsula. Star centre Michael Jennings was pulled in from Penrith.
Sonny Bill Williams added to the pack, proving crossing codes isn’t a problem for Easts.
Seas are little more than an inconvenience for the latte sippers, bringing back Sam Moa from the motherland, James Maloney from across the Tasman and the most important part of the spending spree, coach Trent Robinson from the south of France.
The calibre of person at Bondi Junction is extremely low. Sonny Bill Williams is a traitor to the code, deserting it and only returning for the thing every Sydney Rooster lives for, cold hard cash.
Jared Waerea-Hargraves used his forearms to attack the opposition, including the nicest guy in rugby league, Danny Buderus.
Mitchell Pearce has been living off his last name for nine Origin games too many.
And perhaps worst of all, they’ve been the beneficiary of the NRL’s conspiracy for the entirety of 2013.
Money can’t buy happiness, but if you’re a Roosters fan, it just might get you a premiership.
But then again…
Everybody hates the Sea Eagles, especially you, neutral fan.
Jamie Lyon is the best centre in the game but refuses to represent his state or country, Geoff Toovey would have a whinge about having to remove the wrapping paper on a birthday present and Steve Matai writhes on the ground at the slightest bump or nudge.
You really couldn’t find a less likeable bunch of blokes. Seems Manly have embraced the culture of being ‘hated’ by not including one half decent bloke in their top 25.
They’re greedy too.
The men from the northern beaches haven’t missed a finals series in near a decade, not caring at all about your team, which is no chance of making the grand final if clubs like Manly keep hogging top-four finishes and grand final appearances like they have done for the past six years.
They proved they don’t care who hates them, even if it’s the NRL administration, when they ended the season of the Rabbitohs, and put off the feel-good story of South Sydney ending their forty year premiership drought for at least another year.
So there it is, now who do you want to support?
Or maybe a less painful question first, would you rather gouge out your left eye or right eye?
You better figure it out quick because come Sunday, you’re going to have to pick your poison. Manly or Easts, who do you hate less?
