The NRL Season of 2016

Pity. I don't give a shit about the Storm, but I did want to see that useless fluffybunny Gallen lose again.
And I'll reiterate a point I've made countless times before; the skill level in league is fucking shite. The passing is crap. The backline moves are entirely predictable and telegraphed. And yet the donkeys still can't defend.

That's the first I've read about you making that point and you probably shouldn't make it again since it's a pretty fucken stupid point.

@Sneakdefreak I don't care how many times you've read or heard me make that point. The point still stands.

Stands as a pretty fucken stupid point. We agree.

@Sneakdefreak Don't take it so personal petal.

Good to see Chad Townsend win a NRL title. He was a good bloke in his time at the Warriors. Maloney, maybe not so much a good bloke, but three GFs and two championships now. He gets it done.
Luke Lewis just won the MOTM. Probably should have been Fifita but they didn't want him speaking.

@antipodean Nothing personal but at least the last sentence of your statement is fucken stupid

Bird was massive I thought and unlucky not to win MOTM IMO.

True he was massive, and with a damaged arm. Looks like Feki won't be named for the Kiwis - knee is buggered.

That sucks. He's in excellent form and a real handful coming out of your own end.

Townsend, Maloney, and Ennis were the reason the Sharks didn't have that put to bed early. The better side took far too long to win that game.

And yet someone is rating Ennis an 8 on news.com.au
League media/supporters have real troubled identifying the flaws in a winning team.

The best thing about that was Cameron Smith's concession speech, I thought he payed great tribute to team that finally won, when the Warriors finally win in 30 years time I hope the opposing captain is so gracious. Don't know why he has to be such a grub on the playing field though - same goes for Ennis I guess.
Anyway, I sat my fat ass down to watch the game at 7ish last night only to discover Foxtel don't have the final - all game live all year ... except for the final. So I had to wait until 9:30pm to watch a replay.
Anyway, back to the game, it was pretty average, although my leaguie mate (think Sneak x 10000) was telling me it was the greatest game ever but only the 3rd greatest grand final, so go figure. I was cheering for the Storm, but like with the Canes this year in the end I didn't mind as a team who have never won it made it over the line so that's good for their loyal supporters.
I'm still bemused that Fifita is a thing, the guy waddles and somehow evades everyone time and time again.

Good bloke, shit player, at least Maloney was a good player (aside from that last season) for the Warriors. How old is Luke Lewis? He doesn't look a day over 60. He's aged worse than Neil Back.
So I guess now we wait to see how many NZers suddenly turn up injured in the next few day to find out whether this years Four Nations is worth watching.

@Nepia you have pay tv but not FTA? Channel Nein.

I was at the game , the Sharks were great , they would've scored more than 2 tries against any other defense I reckon . Storm nearly pinched it off the back of that amazing defensive effort , but can't deny the Sharks as worthy winners .

The FTA channels mess with the signal of the Foxtel (which reduces the quality of the feed) and I assumed I wouldn't ever need to watch them now that Foxtel has all the NRL games (but clearly not all).

Some dirty shit going on in the contract zone. Wonder how long it will take until someone sues the NRL for letting this stuff go. There was a chicken wing tackle earlier that looked fairly shit.
I forgot this was on and only watched the last quarter of an hour.
It's a bit soccer mum-ish, but I wouldn't be keen on my kids playing league, in the same way I wouldn't want them taking up boxing.
That Storm guy who came in with a swinging arm to the neck that led to the Fifita try - that would have been a definite yellow card in rugby and even a possible red. In league, it's just a penalty and play on.
