So, who are you supporting for the Grand Final?

I can’t make my mind up.

I don’t want Penrith to win again. I hate dynasties, and I think it’s better for the game when teams rise and fall. It’s one of the benefits of a salary cap.

But I don’t like Melbourne, because of their historical rorting of the salary cap, ruining multiple seasons of the NRL. And the whole introduction of wrestling manoeuvres into footy. A lot of their game seems to be based on cheating or exploiting weaknesses in rukes rather than playing in the spirit of the game.

Or do I just barrack for the referee, touchies and video reviewers?

    There’s an independent doctor that also has a say in the HIA’s but I agree it seems players get rested for parts with the HIA tactic

      I’ve also noticed that it hasn’t been as obvious for a little while.

      Saving it for the Grand Final? Let’s see. Though probably not so important without Nelson playing…

      Wouldn’t put it past Penrith either. It’s funny that their footy has become more robotic and less fun to watch. Almost like they’ve turned into the Storm 🤣

          No doubt!

          Good luck to both teams.

          I’ll end up going for the team that chucks the footy about and avoids the 5 hitups and kick.
