Controversial Opinions

[Big Pete]

We all have one

I'll start it off...

- Robbie Farah is the most overrated player in the game.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Tim Sheens is a Myth!!

 

[user_nat]

Are either of those controversial if you aren't a Tigers fan?

I'm struggling to think of anything better though.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Wayne Bennett whilst good is overrated....

Des Hasler is the NRL's best coach.

 

[Big Pete]

People go on about Jarryd Hayne and Jamal Idris, yet nobody really puts Farah in his place.

Others
- Don't rate Maloney. Think he has a good running game but that's about it. Think his kicking game is terribly inconsistent, floats in and out of games and his defence is at least Soward bad.
- Can actually tolerate the Storm, if only for their fans who not only had to put up with the nightmare of what their club had done but all the dick head fans laying the boot in. Thought they rebuilt well this season and I just have too much respect for Smith and Cronk to hate them.

#### the Storm. They ended our Premiership dreams 3 years in a row with illegal rosters. They can FOAD with Manly.

Glad to see them back to, comp. was better for their presence and beat the s**t out of watching crap like Penrith and the Gold Coast float around in the finals.

Gus and Rabs are the best pair of commentators in any Australian sport.

 

[Big Pete]

Aye, the Channel 9 commentary team is still the best.

ABC is probably the worst, Morrow ruins everything.

The quality of refereeing hasn't changed at all - technology has just exposed them.

State of origin has a negative impact on the competition and should be moved to after the grand final

 

[Ari Gold]

The Storm salary cap rorted with players they developed and should never have had to cheat to keep them because the lack of salary cap exemptions is just ridiculous, and therefore I don't care that they cheated.

Brisbane's 2006 premiership wasn't tainted. Refereeing performances are just part in parcel and Brisbane copped plenty of s**t reffing through out their time. Check 2001-2003 and 2011 for references.

The proposed mandatory poker machine pre-commitment that they've put forward is a rubbish policy. It won't work. It won't solve the problem they say they're going to target, and it will do irreparable damage to the hospitality industry. It won't work and it will hurt.

Thanks Rabs and Gus...did Matt Callender tell you to say that? :P

Super League had the right idea. Less teams, more money.

Poker machines do irreparable damage to the families of people with a gambling addiction.

That said, I hate legislation that is for the purpose of social engineering. It's an unneccesary infringement on personal liberties.

Of course it wasn't tainted.

The Storm, who have sinced proved the opposite, were unable to mentally overcome that adversity and if they were good enough they would have won. There was more than enough time to win the game. Brisbane only won by 7 points.

Case in point: Qld state of origin 2006. Some horrible refereeing in that game but Qld overcame and went on to win.
