    Melbourne want the NRL Grand Final

    I'm Melbourne born and bred - but I really hope the grand final is not sold to Melbourne to host! It belongs in Sydney - you could argue Brisbane have a case, but to me it's a Sydney event and I love coming up every year for it!

    Best Back row in the nrl

    everyone is going to talk up their teams backrow... and I'm no different. Melbourne are running 2 kiwi internationals, and Finucane I'd be surprised if he's not playing Origin footy sooner rather than later. Proctor Harris Finucane

    Can anyone explain when the Video ref is allowed to overrule anymore??

    I thought it was always reportable offences, but then they were ruling on strips etc. I am sure I am not the only League fan who is getting more and more confused about what the rules are at the moment! Huge issue in the game... inconsistency in whether they can or can't intervene has a chance...

    Can anyone explain when the Video ref is allowed to overrule anymore??

    As the question states - can anyone explain? In the Storm v Souths game on the weekend, the on field ref got 2 decisions wrong, one where the Souths player jumped from over the dead ball line to bat it back in, where they were awarded a dropout. After the replay being shown many times and...

    Sisa Waqa

    I actually thought he ran the ball back strong last night. Starting to deliver on his potential the last couple of weeks

    The return to our old finals system.

    From a Melbourne perspective, hoping that if we finish second as looks almost assured now, that the game is not scheduled for Sunday afternoon. That would clash with VRL Grand Final day - obviously impacting a significant number of followers of the game.

    I think Rugby League just died...

    How was the question in the press conference though that was when Moore answered it was a fair tackle... think it was Andy Raymond 'Did you think further action should have been taken?'... Are you kidding me?????? It was just a cracker of a tackle that unfortunately hurt the bloke...

    I think Rugby League just died...

    It was a perfect tackle... joke of a penalty no doubt about it!!

    Playing the ball on the mark

    I agree if the marker would have been onside at the correct mark, then he should be allowed to tackle, but not regardless of where they are standing

    What good has John Ribot done for the game?

    The SG ball side mate... lost the GF with I believe it was 7 Vic juniors. That number is 12 this season, and to date have lost 1 game this season

    What good has John Ribot done for the game?

    the after party is a key part of that too... without a leagues club, it's been held in a foyer over the road, where the food/bev sales were part of Melb and Olympic Park trust... now that will be the clubs also. The new stadium is huge for the future of the club

    All Fair and Above Board.....NOT!!!

    so you talk of expanding into an area with an already thriving base... that's not expanding anything to do with the game outside of first grade. It's why expansion is about entering new markets... new people to the game. The only balls up with any of it is that the NRL have allowed channel 9...

    What good has John Ribot done for the game?

    Beachy... even Storm fans will agree with that. The day was always going to come, but it's early to be looking to pull the pin on a code in a new frontier. It's growing down here, there is little doubt about that. The SG Ball side has 12 Victorian born players in there, and has only lost 1...

    All Fair and Above Board.....NOT!!!

    What that shows is that we should all be thankful that the people running the game are able to see what happens if you have a game in 2 states only. This forum is starting to resemble a bar where there are bitter old NSWRL fans that want to turn the clock back to the old days where it was...

    What good has John Ribot done for the game?

    The article talks about struggling for sponsors... maybe they should check the facts about that. I'm pretty sure that as of last year our jersey was the most valuable in Aus sport... one of the biggest crock of sh*t articles in the history of journalism. No evidence anywhere... it's an...

    Lima to Roosters

    True, to a point. But... Cronk, Inglis, Slater, and to a point Smith can do nothing if we don't have a pack going forward. Lima is a massive, massive part of that

    '10 | R3 | Sat | Panthers 10-16 Storm | CUA

    I am ok with mistakes by refs, don't see how the Quinn one got missed, but they're human, so can deal with that. I was more confused by the ruling on the other one, whether it was a mistake or if the advantage rule only counts for one knock on??
