I've always felt it's better to have one owner than two (or 32 if you count all the Auckland rugby league clubs separately). Dunno anything about the Autex family except they have some history with Pt Chev Pirates.
-
Aren't owners less important than a competent front office? Who pays the bills has to come second to the guys in charge of building a football department and making intelligent roster and contract decisions surely?

Collection of deplorables left playing for a GF spot.
Only saving grace is one of the Roosters and Melbourne won't make it
Tonight is the battle of a couple of coaches i can't stand. If i had to choose one side to hope wins, i guess i will take the Raiders as it would be their first GF since 1994. But the thought of Ricky Stuart having a crack at a Premiership...
And then the battle of the perennial finalists. Roosters looking to be the first team to go back to back in like a hundred years. Melbourne looking to make their 419th GF in a row. Can both teams lose?

Grand Final will be Souths V Sydney City. It's rigged.
-
Seeing Ricky Stuart blowing up in the coaches box after a turnover is hilarious.
If it’s Raiders and Storm grand final there will be more footage of Stuart and Bellamy than the actual game given both of their carrying on.

Loaded field, but Sam Burgess might be the dumbest fluffybunny in the NRL

He's also a protected fluffybunny - takes a guy out with a high shot and the commentators go on for 10 minutes about poor Sam hurting himself doing it.
Saw the Storm team in Darling Harbour this morning, would have joined them coffee @jegga but they chose a shit tourist trap place for breakfast. They're staying in the new fancy Sofitel and on the whole they're a lot smaller than I thought they'd be.
-
Raiders vs Storm would be a good "fuck you" to Sydney.
SF2 would have been the NRL's preferred final.
I actually think they would’ve liked a Souths v easts given their rivalry,
I’m hoping for a storm v raiders to stick it up Sydney but don’t think it’s happening...... but haven’t given up totally.

Two yellows in the first play of the game for a bitch fight
-
Good shit Roosters. Kind of cool to see a bit if a man hug between Cronk and Smith tho. Good sportsmanship given their recent history. Fark there were some big ass hits.
Totally going for the green machine in the final though.

Not a fan of the Roosters but I thought they did a real number on the Storm tonight with their defence and were impressive.
Tedesco is a hell of a player.

TBH, I think they should have put the Storm away a lot earlier and by a lot more. The Storm probably need to play Cameron Smith at half next year if he stays on again. If he's going to be the key playmaker then have him in that role and let Brandon Smith have a go as a running hooker.

Luke Keary, in an absolute shock, is clear to play the GF despite deliberately whacking Kaufusi in the face, and pulling out a clump of his hair
Perhaps the NRL owe Sam Burgess an apology?

Assuming there is a whole lot of sarcasm there as surely it wasn't a shock....

positively dripping darling...
I'm actually happier about this NRL final than the AFL one. The only reason i hate the Roosters is that they obviously operate on a different financial plane that everyone else. Other than that, they are reasonably likable. Gun players, no out and out grubs, just a good footy side. I even, whisper it quietly, quite like a few of their players. They have a fucking good coach too.
The Raiders are a good story, and as much as Ricky fucks me off, with his whinging and whining, he's been easier to take while they have sucked. Beyond that, he's been entertaining, what with the blokes hurtin' in the sheds and all.
Please just let it be a great GF decided late by a bit of skill.
