@sneakdefreak said in NRL 2018:
@nepia Everyone is rumoured to be going to Newcastle because they have so much cap space.
I don't think Lino would take up much would he?
I wonder if they need a midget prop who plays centre?
-
Lino is very average. If someone wants to pay him, then good luck to him.
Could be a very interesting off-season. The Cowboys have freed up an enormous wedge of cap space to have a crack at some established players (Valentine Holmes most openly, but possibly Cam Munster as well).

Footy finals!!
Tonight will be a spiteful grub off. Dark arts masters vs blatant grubs. These games are generally pretty close because both teams play very similar styles. No Gallen decreases the Sharks grub factor by a million, and also decreases their number of slow 4th tackle hit ups. Melbourne should win, but i somehow can't shake the feeling that the Sharks will get it. I might even put my money where my mouth is. Either way, a great player will finish their career tonight.
Tomorrow we get the Sydney derby. East v South. The Roosters have stacked their team with approximately 47 rep players who are apparently being paid in food stamps. The Bunnies have to ignore the media focusing on Sam Burgess's cock. Surely the Roosters win this (or, according to Steve Roach, it proves Cooper Cronk is no better than Mitchell Pearce. I think it's great the way Fox Sports gives jobs to the mentally deficient), but this Rabbits team can score big and quick. This will be the most entertaining game of the weekend.
I hope there is a fight.

Delicious. Fifita being a fuck head costs his team 6 points.
All Melbourne and Slater

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

Slater is also 35.

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:
Smith hints he may retire after grand final
Melbourne Storm skipper Cameron Smith has dropped a bombshell ahead of next week’s grand final, declaring he could retire at the end of the season.

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