Listen to these Fox idiots defending Slater for his shoulder charge.
‘What else is he supposed to do to stop that try?’
Um, how about make the same tackle with your arms fucktards?They’re also debating if Slater will be suspended. Come on c*^+s, this is the GF you’re talking about and Loigue loves nothing more than a fairy tale ending - he’ll be playing alright, put the house on it.

@gunner this from a text commentery in the guardian newspaper -
A close up of a very long-faced Cronulla bench. He’s not the prettiest of humans at the best of times, Paul Gallen, but he’s got a face like a dropped pie right about now. -
As long as Sosaia Feki wasn't injured on the play the NRL will overlook it because of the fairytale storyline and the marketing they can do with it.
Watching it online right now I have no problem with the shoulder charge to be honest.
-
I have no love for slater or Melbourne, but missing a GF for a shoulder charge to the shoulder of another bloke that doesn't hurt him seems like a gross injustice
-
@mariner4life Refs should have given a penalty try to Cronulla or send Billy to the sin bin for a professional foul though. That's what the NRL will say on Monday.

Another grand final appearance for Melb , 3 in a row , hasn’t been easy this year either with losing Cronk and injuries , awesome effort
-
@mariner4life it wasnt your classic shoulder charge. His left arm was up , it just didn’t wrap around. I think he should be fine. How good did he play though. Why is he retiring
-
@chchfanatic has had a lot of injuries the last few years , and wants to put more time into his other passion , racehorses

This could be it for the mighty Melbourne Storm dynasty: Cam Smith is hinting that he might ride off into the sunset too if the Storm win another Grand Final:

Hands up who would begrudge the big man his chance to finish up on top?

Slater has an out now if the Roosters beat Souths as Friend's tackle was bad.
4-4 at HT.
I don’t know, on the replay I actually thought Inglis helped that look worse. Hard to explain without stills and arrows but it’s the way Inglis ducked his head.
Not that Friend would be missed. He’s a grub of a player.

The quality of this game is very poor. Pressure is high no doubt but both teams might as well have Warriors jersies on with the number of errors in the second half.
Now a Barrett-esque miss from right in front by the Roosters.

Reynolds is having an absolute mare.
