NRL - 2019 Grand Final

[Fernando]

Why do they count Cronk’s grand finals from the salary cap cheating era but they don’t count Brisbane’s back to back in 97/98?

Sin bin the trainer.

 

[Alec]

Typical cheating Roosters with trainers getting in the way lol.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Notch down a nice stoppage to the trainer

 

[Fernando]

Maybe they’ll get the trainers off the field from next season, it usually takes some major **** up to force the NRL’s hand

They should be running off by the time the fifth tackle kick is on.

 

[Battler]

If they don't change the rules I guarantee that the storm will have several instances of trainer interferences next season, like them standing in the line and Smith passing it into them.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Imagine the uproar if it was Alfie.

 

[Dash]

How does the rule not say that's a penalty against the Roosters?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

We're only 5 minutes in and can already see the superiority of the Roosters roster. Too much composure, too much experience.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Tapine asleep there.

If that happened against the Broncos I'd be ropable.

Why are trainers even on the field in the first few minutes?

It’s all to do with crowd numbers and marketing. Brisbane, without any marketing, will always do good numbers at Suncorp. Nrl have focussed a lot in Melbourne for a long time now. Meanwhile the Sydney numbers were dying so now they need a glamour club to pump up in Sydney. The nrl doesn’t give a crap about Brisbane anymore, we’re safe.

The fix is on for the chooks here

Me too. Seriously, if your trainer interferes with the play you should be penalised.

JWH has is forearms into faces every hit up, and he never plays the ball with his feet.
