The NRL Season of 2016

NTA

Grubs versus cheats... Cheats versus grubs... Jeez it's a hard one

ACT Crusader

Ennis has a rubbish kicking game.

Damo

Storm doing bloody well to only be 8 behind. They look fúcked.

Not surprising though, because the Sharks playmakers are rubbish. Maloney is damn good in broken play situations, but other than that the 6, 7 and 9 aren't much chop.

Sharks playing much better. Very low error and missed tackle rates, plus they're just too big and too strong with ball in hand. It's like watching a club's senior team playing the U18s.

Yeah but this can't carry on. Storm will need to get some Ball in the second half or they'll be buggered.

Only one team playing. I hate these fucking grubs, but they're playing awesome and deserve this game so far. Amazing performance so far

Sneakdefreak

Storm looked tired the way they're bunched. Sharks are just waiting for them.

Sneakdefreak

Storm are playing like the Warriors right now. It appears Cronulla is going to win its first title in a romp.

ACT Crusader

Sharks have now lost their best player - Feki - to injury. Was an ugly tackle by McLean and Chambers.

Storm are back

Sneakdefreak

Bromwich gets the Storm back into the game with a try. 8-6 to the Sharks.

NTA

Some dirty shit going on in the contract zone. Wonder how long it will take until someone sues the NRL for letting this stuff go. There was a chicken wing tackle earlier that looked fairly shit.

Ennis' grubbers have shit on some good work by the Sharks

ACT Crusader

Ennis and Townsend kicking game is what keeping the Storm in it.

Sneakdefreak

Sharks are now losing guys - Bukuya got fucked up by Tohu Harris's knee. Bad tackle made by Bukuya.

NTA

Sharks going to run out of fresh bodies. Storm will win this just through experience in the playmaking positions

ACT Crusader

Shocking kicking from the Sharks again.

Storm not really creating much in attack though.

Sneakdefreak

I'm with Gus right now - I cannot believe this.

ACT Crusader

Haha, just like that from an offload and Storm are in.

Sharks look out on their feet now.

Sneakdefreak

Apparently stripping the ball isn't a penalty anymore. Sharks holding on by two right now.

Sneakdefreak

Storm nearly steal the game but Chambers doesn't notice a wide open Cronk.

Sneakdefreak

Melbourne try and do a Warriors at the end but they've never been able to do that. Cronulla are champs with a 14-12 win.

Break out the coke and hookers boys, you earned it.

NTA

On that last set the $torm shot themselves in the foot. Trying to keep it alive instead of hit it up and set a last play...

Sneakdefreak

The best team won, no doubt about that, but fuck it would have been funny if Melbourne scored on one of those last two sets and won it all.

ACT Crusader

How hilarious. Storm would've won if Chambers knew how to pass. No wonder he didn't last long in rugby.

Chambers is a grub (along with the rest of them) so I'm loving the fact he cost it for them.

mariner4life

Shit game. Best last play in a final ever.

Best team won though, with half decent playmakers they win by 14.

antipodean

Pity. I don't give a shit about the Storm, but I did want to see that useless fluffybunny Gallen lose again.

And I'll reiterate a point I've made countless times before; the skill level in league is fucking shite. The passing is crap. The backline moves are entirely predictable and telegraphed. And yet the donkeys still can't defend.

NTA

I do love to see Billy Slater look like he's been told to suck a dick

That's the first I've read about you making that point and you probably shouldn't make it again since it's a pretty fucken stupid point.

antipodean

@Sneakdefreak I don't care how many times you've read or heard me make that point. The point still stands.

Sneakdefreak

Good to see Chad Townsend win a NRL title. He was a good bloke in his time at the Warriors. Maloney, maybe not so much a good bloke, but three GFs and two championships now. He gets it done.

Luke Lewis just won the MOTM. Probably should have been Fifita but they didn't want him speaking.

Siam

Nothing personal but at least the last sentence of your statement is fucken stupid

Bird was massive I thought and unlucky not to win MOTM IMO.

True he was massive, and with a damaged arm. Looks like Feki won't be named for the Kiwis - knee is buggered.
