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
-
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…

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

@dice Surprised that Josh Schuster is in there. Many see him as a future Origin player, so I doubt he'll jump over to the Kiwis.
Also surprised to see Tohu Harris in there. He's already indicated that he's retired from Test footy.
It looks like Tongans don't want to play for the Kiwis anymore. Only DWZ has Tongan heritage in the team.

Agree. I was hoping the days of the Kiwis naming players then having them bail had gone, but it doesn't look like it. Happy to eat my words, but there is no way in hell Schuster is committed to NZ at this stage.

Where did this come from?
Redcliffe Dolphins revealed as ‘preferred candidate’ for 17th NRL team
I really don't know league by I do wonder how or if they'll drag any support away from the Broncs.
At least they're basing it on an existing team, like Freo and Port Adelaide, so they'll have some sort of base support.
Apparently loaded too. $70m in assets and $20m cash. Maybe they were running Manu's cartel.
I liked the idea of a Central QLD team (Mackay, Rocky, Gladstone) but probably to spread out a region. And less $$. A few years ago when the mines were humming I may have been different

Redcliffe Dolphins revealed as ‘preferred candidate’ for 17th NRL team
Redcliffe was close to bankruptcy back in the day before poker machines became legal and the local bogans started emptying their dole money at Dolphins HQ. Im guessing the NRL were seduced by all that sweet sweet cash that wasnt spent on food and clothes for bogan kids. Personally I think the Jets would have been a better bet given the population and massive expansion out that way. But I'm biased because I live in the West and absolutely hate the North Side (which I assume the Dolphins will encompass with a passion). Ultimately I want a local team to support that isn't the Broncos but I'll support them any day over some farking northern team.
-
@rancid-schnitzel why do you absolutely hate the Northside? Not much difference between Northside and Southside of Brisbane I would have thought.
