Should be the season but the Players Association would never allow it.

The defence was unbelievable. The whole thing has been a shambles from the start.

They had absolutely no right to win that game, incredible turn of events.

All too young. Very sad.

What a club even the refs against us tonight not to mention the commentators as usual

Melbourne Storm are the most looked after club in the history of sport holy shit lmao

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Sydney media reaction to Storm winning is pretty much the same as AFL media reaction to Cripps winning Brownlow.

Nah. It's a froth fest up here for Melbourne too. Nrl is doing everything in their power to keep some sort of presence in the AFL heartland. Union couldn't

How many Premierships were stripped from this 'looked after' club? Whilst Sydney teams run rampant

By looked after, do you mean that the NRL built their trophy cabinets?

You are spot on, as the competition should really be called the New South Wales Rugby League, as the spoilt Sydney Roosters were allowed to recruit Cooper Cronk back in the day and "somehow" managed to fit him onto their roster and under their salary cap when they already had 23 of the best players in the NRL at the club I remember hearing back then, and they would have been some of the highest paid buggers as well......tisk! tisk! tisk!

Lost two sporting greats the last few days, Dikembe Mutombo and Pete Rose today

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Tim Tszyu pummelled into submission by his opponent Bakhram Murtazaliev. Knocked down 3 times in the second round it was mercifully quick with the knockdown in the third round when his corner threw in the towel. Maybe seven months was too quick to get back into the ring with a guy who is much taller with a monster punch. I hope he retires. Such a brutal sport and the fall can be quick when the doubts enter your thoughts.

I've gotten some decent tix to the Benfica v Feyenoord Champions league game.

LFG!
