so much revisionism of Cleary's coaching at the Warriors

He was one of our best coaches. He seemed to get more consistently week to week out of the team, without the awesome ball playing razzle dazzle of the Ali Lauititi era team

[bayimports]

looks like a bunny home game.. good turn out to be fair

Given the injuries penrith have and old man Wayne's 80% GF win rate, I don't think they will beat the rabbitohs, but we shall see.

Panthers with all the traffic so far, and now up 6 - 0.

Cleary's kicking game is giving the Bunnies problems.

[Yeetyaah]

Holy fuck that was good try

His defence isn't.

I had to join 9Now to watch this. Stupid TV rights.

I probably did the same last year and have another account out there under a different email.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

That was the worst award presentation I've ever seen.

Ivan and Nathan get their championship, courtesy of a gift wrapped intercept try from Souths

Souths were the only team that looked an attacking threat.

I only watched half. But Souths shot themselves in the foot I think

[canefan]

And Nathan gets the Churchill medal. A shame Ivan couldn't win a championship with another team in black jerseys

[bayimports]

Penrith were far more dominant on the night and somehow Souths just hung in there. Ironically Souths looked more dangerous on attack than Penrith just saw fewer opportunities. A weird game but a tight final. If Cody doesn’t go for the cut out and passes to Gagai that intercept doesn’t happen and likely 6 points down the other end. Could have been a different result too! Great game for a final though

More public apologies, this time from three Storm players - Munster, Smith and Lewis.

Does that mean no more Big Smiffy Smiff ads…

Gonna miss Sterlo. He was my favorite NRL analyst/commentator.

[Bovidae]

Contrasting days for two ex-Kiwis. Benji retires a legend in his sport and Manu will be a convicted criminal soon.

@dice Sterlo, the antithesis of many league ‘personalities’ and pundits. Doesn’t have the arrogance or drongo-ness, is insightful without coming across too technical.

Yeah on Manu. What a fucken idiot. Was 500k a year as the highest paid Warrior not quite enough to live on ?

Judges tend to come down pretty hard on meth importers so he is well and truly poked. Real shame, I always thought he came across as a genuinely good guy in his interviews.

Clearly you can take the boy out of the hood but not the hood out of the boy. No league saw him run with a bad crowd
