@mariner4life yeah it's like quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers.

Bovidae

Looking at the full list of winners Taumalolo has been the exception when he shared the medal with Cronk in 2016. More positions were represented in the 1980s (lock, second row, centre).

Burr is a loss, had a very good season

bayimports

yeah I thought so too, apparently Payten very happy securing him as well. He knows better than anyone else his professionalism not just on field ability.

I straight up don't get that, the dude is an on field plodder, if he was a Kiwi he wouldn't be rated by anyone but he's an Aussie so he's supposedly good because we're on the endless search for the next Luck, Price orCampion.

Now that I've said that he'll likely become a superstar for the Cowboys.

raznomore

@Nepia yeah I agree. Too often we’d be on attack with a good head of steam and the ball would fall to him. No offload, no big metres. Just a quick play the ball. I’ll give him that. He got to his feet quickly.

The stats say it all. He was average as fuck.

Cam Smith and Richie McGod closer than originally thought? Its fox sports so cant take too seriously, but interesting relationship nonetheless.

I see a picture of the GOAT and guy that plays league 🎣

kiwiinmelb

Pissing down in Sydney, not sure who that favours , traditionally I might think Melbourne, but this team has been less methodical and Far more attacking than usual , scoring lots of long range tries with pace out wide and 2 running halves .

Cleary might have the best kicking game out there

ACT Crusader

Gee the Storm are pushing the pass

That’s how they have been playing this year so be interesting to see if they have to play conservative

ACT Crusader

I’ll be really interested in how the refs play the advantage 6 more rule tonight.

bayimports

Clear penalty try, but one of those decisions if May had time to think about it would have not kicked out, making the kick from the corner in this weather would have been tough

tough to handle in this weather, even the storm have now now made two handling errors in their own half already

ACT Crusader

Wow I’m not sure about that last no try call.

tough but consistent on how the have ruled all year. Probably a few more chances coming down Brenko side

ACT Crusader

Two grabs around the neck both ways gone unpunished.

koro probably lucky not to have one against his leg pull just then either

The amount of unpunished high tackles is hilarious.

At least twice the Panthers tried to go from dummy half from quick plays and Storm markers not square. No penalty.

refs clearly reluctant to penalise or use 6 again so far early, lets see if that continues..almost playing SOO type of reffing rules

ACT Crusader

Scramble from the Storm has been good

NTA

1 Smith is a total grub
2 Panthers are nervous as shit
3 Gould and Rabs as commentary team make me want to retch

ACT Crusader

Hilarious commentary from Gus.

ACT Crusader

Game is about to open up I reckon.

sounds like a lot of games versus the storm, other team probably controls game better, Storm scramble well in defence and then make the most of opportunities

still anyones at this stage though

ACT Crusader

@NTA Freddie and Joey offer at least a little bit of insight to accompany the geriatrics

Agreed, in spurts; Freddie isn't the brightest and Joey is cooked from a career getting whacked in the head.

ACT Crusader

How easy was that wide pass to read??

bayimports

that's going to make it hard to come back, storm don't let many points in at the best of times. Panthers are going to need some luck to get back into this

Donsteppa

Terrible play all round from the Panthers there. Floaty Harbour Bridge pie from Cleary, followed by a half pie tackle attempt

I don't watch much League, but when I do the general rule of thumb appears to be that whenever Gould says one team is dominating then the other team scores.

Donsteppa

Gus doing his best to will the Panthers back into it, but would be very strange to see Melbourne take their foot off the throat from here...

ACT Crusader

Panthers are all at sea in attack

It’s absolutely hilarious. Comedy show surely. Can’t say a bad word about them.

Donsteppa

The Panthers overawed implosion continues...

I think you'd have to decapitate a player to get penalised in this game.

The Storm's finals experience is showing.

I don't care who wins but listening to Gould's whinging is delightful.
