NRL 2022 Grand Final Discussion

[Dash]

how do the AFL do it to stop that happening

They don't. A team of the Suns' draft picks would be unbeatable, except none of them play for the Suns any more.

The difference in GF experience is really showing.

Panthers have been in the last 3 GF's, they know what to do. Eels don't and it's showing, those trick shots weren't on and instead of building pressure they just let Panthers off the hook. Panthers took advantage and it didn't take long for them to have the Eels on the ropes.

Gutherson is easily the most overrated fullback in the NRL.

He was awesome a few years ago, been below par this year.

 

[Browny]

Stop rewarding players backing into the defence

 

[vertigo]

It doesn't though.

The top draft picks go to the shit teams, they spend 2 or 3 years getting them fit and matured into first grade players before they bugger off to a top 4 team for unders because they want to win a premiership.

What is your solution

 

[Morkel]

Edwards is the one that flopped backwards there. FMD.

 

[Super Freak]

You can't tell me that wasn't an intentional offside.

Should have been Panthers penalty.

 

[Dash]

What is your solution

A sliding scale salary cap based on where you finished the previous year/s.

The bottom teams are forced to overpay for players, we should give them the money to do it.

 

[Wolfie]

Surely he took Moses out there

 

[Super Freak]

This has been an obstruction all year.

 

[vertigo]

Horse shit.

 

[Foordy]

yep the Panthers cheque has cleared

 

[Wolfie]

This has been an obstruction all year.

Not tonight

 

[Super Freak]

That was a defensive decision by Moses on second look.

 

[Morkel]

So every commentator has said it should be a "no try". What does the video ref do?

 

[LockyersLeftBoot]

This has been an obstruction all year.

Not tonight though…

That doesn't happen in the AFL specifically. The problem is the majority of the players come from Victoria and when they get drafted to interstate teams, the Victorian teams try and get them back.

The AFL tries to mitigate this by enforcing a two year initial contract for draftees and anyone who goes home after that must be traded. If a bottom team loses the player, they get compensation by the AFL of another high draft pick and/or the team who wants the player has to trade high draft picks. The 'victim' can also match the contract for the player and force the player to the pre-season draft where they end up at whoever has pick 1 there, likely the worst team in the comp.

Lol not even surprised
