NRL Grand Final - Storm v Cowboys

[Morkel]

Revolutionary tactic of playing two halfbacks? Green really has ascended to the next level.

We do it every year in Origin. Thurston can do both.

 

[Dash]

Yep he is a great coach. Don't forget, they also get McLean next season, one scary team that's for sure!

That must have borrowed our salary sombrero. How can they be adding players to that squad, but we can't even afford to keep a fringe prop?

Yeah but it isn't the Broncos, so not a peep in the media about it.

Pre-2015 before I started getting to know a few Cowboys fans first hand who have blue-blooded Bronco hate (cheering for Manly over the Broncos ffs) this would have been an easy grand final to watch. My days of having a '2nd team' are well and truly over. As much as I hate it, I'll be hoping the Storm get up (notice: not cheering) as I couldn't handle another Cowboys' premiership even if it isn't against us.

It'll be a wankfest either way

Yep......I want them to feel the pain of a Grand Final loss.

2005?

I want the members of the 2015 team to feel it.

I hate both these teams with a passions. The Storm slightly more so here is too Thurston making a miracle recovery and leading the cowboys to the title. It just really really really pisses me off knowing that all we had to do was beat Melbourne and we could have smashed the cowgirls in the grand final. **** its frustrating

btw, I think Melbourne will shit this is personally and quite easily as well.

Has everyone noticed that all of the players who have stood up in this finals series are all Queenslanders.

Can someone please tell me how the Broncos and Roosters are the only teams who have their cap questioned? And where are these average players that the big 3 make look better? The team is filled with rep players and future rep players..

 

[mitch222]

One thing that is quite clear for the storms list, is no major injury to anyone this year. They don't have 2-3 important players out like some teams do. Winning a premiership these days in the NRL requires a bit of luck on the injury front.

Has everyone noticed that all of the players who have stood up in this finals series are all Queenslanders.

And for the first time ever, the Grand Final will be played by two teams that don't have any former or current NSW players.

 

[ZTop]

I've seen some butt hurt on here over the years but some of the cowboy hate is OTT but funny as ****.
Why can't you just enjoy an incredible sporting effort as it happens?
They don't come along that often, it's unfolding in front of you and you can't see past old defeats.

Go back and watch the finals games and see Morgan grow into the greatest park player to ever live.
Watch the moves they put on to draw a defensive error and the effort to correct a mistake (O'Neill last night).
Watch the sheer will to not let their team mate down in D.

This is a once in a longtime thing, enjoy.

Can someone vote for this post as the post of the year seeing as I have already nominated another one

 

[BroncsFan]

A Cronk field goal in extra time please

**** that would prefer a vunavalu hat trick by half time and addo carr to get his in the 2nd half

No, a loss is easier to take when you get flogged.

But when you're literally seconds away from victory and it's taken away from you.. That hurts A LOT.

Cowboys need to know this suffering.

But in saying that, I hope Cowboys win. **** Cronk.
