How far will we go

literally nobody in the nrl would trust fifita to stick to the pact, so they would never collude in the 1st place.

If we lose to the Dogs we don't deserve to be in the finals.

After the Disgrace of Gijon , FIFA changed the scheduling of world cup games to avoid teams being put in situation where the best approach is to play for a result that allows both teams to progress .
We know in sports that when you incentivise an outcome that allows both teams to progress, where other results would mean only one does, then teams will take the incentivised option.
The NRL shouldn't be allowing the option to exist, by being getting smarter about how they schedule the final round.

True, but we are now better than all of them, and we also beat the Dogs last time we met. No excuses next week.
My original comment was only tongue-in-cheek mate.
Obviously they would have to come down hard on match fixing, that just goes without saying.
What I was alluding to though, is that you really shouldn’t be surprised by any ****-up or double standards from the NRL administration, no matter how big or small.
They continually shoot themselves in the foot, contradict themselves and just make shit up as they go.
Indeed, we shouldn’t be surprised if they rewarded the Sharks for match fixing with a Golden Ticket to the GF.
After all, they really didn’t punish them for the peptide saga or salary cap breaches that conveniently only happened either side of their premiership year, did they...

It would not surprise me one bit if the nrl decision advisor was actually that cross-eyed dude from Spaceballs.
That's so far off happening I feel prettysave we'll be there

I'd almost invite the Tigers and Cronulla to **** us over. Not only would that cause an absolute shitstorm in the media, it would expose the shameless ***** who will happily piss the integrity of the comp into the wind for the sake of petty malice (Kent and Tallis). It would set an unbelievable self serving precedent which is frankly the last thing this comp needs right now with the likes of Melbourne and Sydney running around.
I openly invite them to do it, because the consequences would almost be more interesting and more profound than the Broncos just turning up in September to be rolled in week 1 or 2.

I think versing Manly in round 1 of the finals would be far better than versing the eels. In the second week, If we made it, is say the order of teams we would want to play would be raiders > Rabbits > Roosters > Storm. Even though roosters are the best, we just never beat Melbourne.
