I think they wore the away jersey because roosters finished minor premiers…so they get the home jersey.

No fairytale farewell for Billy the Kid as all-star Roosters rule the roost

I must be the only person who thinks the result would have been the same without Cronk….keary has already won a comp and I don’t think he needed Cooper to tell him what to do …. Why didn’t the roosters just use Cronk to run water and organize attack just like Langer does… remember the roosters added an origin/Australian fullback and Mitchell is now the best centre in the game … which wasn’t the case in previous preliminary finals losses.

The Storm didn’t get stage fright, they just got destroyed

What was the point of having Cronk there….if they wanted him to give orders just let him run the water like Langer does…to win like that with basically 12 men was impressive… they going to be even stronger next year too.

Roosters smash Storm to win 2018 NRL Grand Final

I reckon they can win because there is only two sides left….and either them or the roosters will win it.

Why the Storm can win the NRL grand final

Yeah Google the haka for all blacks games in the 60s and 70s….. nothing like it is today… obviously the culture has only developed lately….I love watching it before a test match… I turn the volume up as loud as it will go …but… gotta agree with Bernie here…. they doing it for everything now…. and boy don’t kiwis become indignant if you don’t show it the ultimate respect….we may not have as much ” culture” as our kiwi cousins …. every kiwi I know in Australia absolutely loves everything about nz…it’s got the best of everything they always tell me…. they just don’t wanna live there.

Kiwis give RTS spine-tingling haka after receiving the Dally M Medal

I thought rugby league beat the AFL for viewers for the first time in a long time this year…. were did you get your” turning off in the tens of thousands “figures from?

Most people simply believe that you shouldn’t miss a grand final for that tackle…I think it’s called…common sense.

Anyway you are going to get hammered for this article…so don’t take it personally…it’s the internet.

If Billy Slater plays on Sunday, I won't be watching

I’m shocked Chris Sutton didn’t get the assistant ref job.

Surely they have a cousin as well who Bernie could throw in to the video ref position.

Sutton, Klein to officiate 2018 NRL grand final

The fine should be for stupidity.
They have a massive leagues club.
Lock them into one of the function rooms and they can do what they want.
If they don’t know after all this time that photographers are sweating on a picture of anything to do with drunkedness they aren’t very intelligent.
That the coach was there and didn’t tell them to put their clothes back on was another mistake. Get naked in the showers after the game…not the pub.

Bulldogs' Mad Monday fine slashed by the NRL

I never watch channel 9 so can’t comment there except I know Hadley is shocking.
I don’t like Warren Smith on Fox and will listen to music now while game is on if he is commentating. Every single game after the first try he yells out ” and they will play from in front today” …he will carry on all game about a decision he disagreed with and I’m certain he doesn’t like my team which makes him difficult to listen to.
Corey Parker is quickly developing into someone who infuriates me as well.

Rating the NRL commentators

Agree with albo…. they’ve looked flat for a while… McGregor absolutely copped it for apparently not managing the workload but I’ve heard nothing but praise for seibold.
Also they had a massive reliance on that left hand side triple decoy play and when teams worked it out they didn’t seem to have anywhere else to go.

How the Roosters-Rabbitohs game was won and lost

Ah Dane…
You are the island oasis in the middle of the sea of…refs robbed us… penalty try…rules are rules even if they are stupid.
Thank you.

Time for Titans to formalise unlimited cooling-off period

The stupidity of the rule is that you can shoulder charge….if you have the ball… you see it every week… tuck the ball under your right arm..turn sideways….brace your left arm and charge into the line….

Slater is guilty but shouldn’t miss the grand final

If they don’t win it’s not really that successful…I’d rather not make GF at all than lose one…. manly dominate team mid nineties… only 1 out of 3 …. roosters 4 gf in 5 years early 2000s…. only 1 win….. equivalent to tigers 1 premiership….losing gf really hurts…. don’t get too cocky till full time Sunday.

Seven talking points from Melbourne Storm vs Cronulla Sharks NRL preliminary final

Wow peeko and Randy… you guys make some really sensible points but did you know that more people attended AFL games this year so that makes it a much better game… because…. more people went to the game…so… it’s just better. Also Tim didn’t include regional ratings… and did you know more people went to AFL games…

Rugby league saves itself from itself… Again

You sir are a genius….I have been reading all these comments of which you have written many and you have done all of it in only 10 minutes…. whoever employs you is mighty happy with your productivity I bet.

The smaller NRL crowds confirm the AFL is the superior code? Rubbish!

I take a similar attitude towards the news and current affairs shows… don’t watch them….it’s all negative,scandalous and depressing….I think it’s because life is too good in Australia….I’ve just come back from 2 years living in Asia…..no road rage over there…why…. they struggling to survive… the last of their concerns is someone making them slow down or not indicating…..try that in oz and people ready to kill you.

Is this the rugby league media spring?

Good to see…. hope he spends his whole career there…fans love players who show loyalty….good for rugby league.

Cleary on the verge of signing massive new deal with Penrith

The one rule I would change is the try off the kick….no conversion allowed… you’ve had your kick….a team can score a try off a well placed grubber and it’s undefendable…at least if you dive over from dummy half … that is defendable…. rabbits nearly beat storm the other week yet two tries came off bombs while most storm tries we’re great tries…it would encourage you to throw the ball around especially if you behind by 6.

Four rule changes for rugby league

I dont think Souths can win the comp….they looked really flat and nothing like the dynamic team they were a couple of months ago….at least they are still in with a chance and luckily they dont have to face mitchell next week.

According to Seibold, the pressure is on Roosters

This whole thing started because Sutton has no feel for the game….sure he knows the rules but doesnt have common sense… In state of origin…cronk picked up from dummy half….paused…then so obvious…. deliberately threw the ball into nsw player…if at that moment sutton yells out..play on…qld would have been disadvantaged and he wouldnt do again… instead he awards penalty and in the next 12 months everyone started doing it….it was crazy….so they changed the rule…. now if you make a legs tackle… just stay there and make them pass around you… as long as you dont hold on…you are sweet…common sense again last night would be play on….dragons disadvantaged….everyone happy….how souths could get a kick downfield and six tackles from an obstructing player is ridiculous.

Seven talking points from South Sydney Rabbitohs vs St George Illawarra Dragons NRL semi-final

I’m amazed that people praise Tallis for his “courage” in leaving the dragons high and dry yet require an apology when another star player leaves your team.
As for his ” long list of misdemeanors”….I’m genuinely searching for exactly how bad they are.
Any assaults?
Any DUI’s?
Because we’ve got plenty of players who have those who don’t seem to get half the heat Dugan does.
I’m constantly reading how he’s always injured. Apparently he averaged 17 games a season for my dragons.
Not too bad when you throw in a few origin games.
It hurts when you lose your favourite players.
Morris twins, Merrin, Matt Prior, Beau Scott, Gasnier.
West’s tigers fans probably have the most to complain about.

Josh, you want a fair go? Start by saying sorry

Where is that kennethcarntsayanythingniceguy and emcee…. been bagging dragons all year…hello…is there anybody out there.

Sims City: Tariq hat-trick breaks Brisbane hearts

I was so pissed off when we couldn’t match the dogs offer for Brett Morris…then you find out what was going on…. karma.

Where to now for the troubled Bulldogs?

Remember a few years ago when if you copped a little tap to the face you went down like you were shot… video ref looked at it…you got an easy penalty….they changed the rules that video ref couldn’t rule on it instantly… problem solved…now we have the slight neck pressure….stay down…grab your neck ….the refs will nearly always blow a penalty….you don’t have to go off for a hia even though if you are really injured it’s much worse than playing on slightly concussed… You get the penalty and play straight on…I have no doubt it’s being coached that if you get any neck pressure…stay down…ok the Chambers one was deliberate but most others appear to be a complete accident.

Cronk guides Roosters through to home prelim

It’s amazing… Tallis picking broncos.
Ennis picking sharks.
Anasta picking roosters.
Rothfield picking sharks.
I can sense a pattern.
