Finals Week 3

[Mitchell_Broncos]

What I'm doing is last night I went for sharks because what Cowgirls have done to us in the last 4 or 5 years and now tonight I'm going for raiders and then in the grand final I want raiders to kick sharks arse. :takdir:

^ their coach and captain do though. They're fucking drug cheats and will be until no one in the organisation is left who was part of it.

Perhaps so but I will never support the biblical idea of punishing the many for the sins of the few. It isn't because I like the Sharks, I would feel this way about any as it's rational,reasonable and mature. The reason why the punishment was comparatively light was the NRL recognized that the players, Gallen included were unaware that what they received was illegal and were taking the supplements in good faith. The players accepted the deal as it was the best conditions they could hope for and saved the NRL from further embarrassment. ASADA accepted it for the same reason, namely the players were ignorant of wrong doing. The best part is this, no matter what you hope for, you have no influence on the result......hate away !!

Why is it Paul Green gets to have a word in the refs ear pre game about the Storms tactics, and Stuart does the same with the Sharks. Do they not get fined because it's done before the game?
I see this as undue influence, I realize all coach's are doing what's best for the team. But this is blatant.

If I was the sharks coach id be facing Todd Greenberg one on one if he's team lost and asking what is the go.
Well some coach should.

 

[Horseheadsup]

Yep. Wouldn't be so bad if they were speaking on behalf of all the other clubs, but it's just obvious.

Nothing to do with it, I wasn't cheering the Sharks, only happy for the Cowboys to get fucked off. I'm definitely not cheering them on for a GF win. I want the Raiders to win, if it's between the Storm and the Sharks, ideally the stadium collapses on itself.

What if the Cowboys were the only team standing in the way of a Sharks GF win?

Claims of ignorance, good faith, trusting team doctor, etc... are no excuse for use of PED's. WADA rules (under which ASADA falls) are pretty clear about this.

Look at where Essendon are, whose players were arguably in the same circumstances, but where the punishment did fit the "crime".
I'm sure there were plenty of innocent players there, as there were innocent people caught in the Bulldogs and Storm cap cheating scandals.

I have no beef with the Sharks organisation or fans, but while they have those cheats there, as well as POS grubs like Fifita, I will keep death riding them.

Well I'd probably become a short term volleyball fan and pretend the NRL didn't exist or something. **** that.

 

[Unbreakable]

Not sure who I want to win tonight, it's a tough one for a neutral supporter.

On one hand I think it'd be a great story for Cam Smith & Cooper Cronk to win one last premiership, and without the assistance of Slater nonetheless.. on the other hand I love the Raiders style of footy and think they deserve to be in the grand final because they don't play with wrestling gimmicks or any junk like that, they just play attacking footy.

 

[Broncoman]

If the Raiders win tonight I will be happy with either the Sharks or Raiders winning the premiership

 

[Browny]

Whoever wins tonight better beat the Sharks because #fuckgallen

Ch9 have some fucking nerve showing that footage of 08 while talking about how great the Storm are. They were cheating ffs.

Seen enough Storm gf wins, raiders have never won one in my lifetime

 

[GCBRONCO]

North Korea isn't either, do you think if Stuart was coaching a side from there he wouldn't be having a hard on over them as well?
