Back in 2006 I cheered for the Storm and when they lost I felt quite sad at the time as Storm had been minor premiers and because I hate the Donkeys. I didn't know that they were cheating the cap yet obviously.
Now for the first time in 37 years, I won't be watching the GF. Neither club has a single redeeming feature, including the trash cities they represent. I can't believe bloody Brisbane were given the Olympics for 2032 either. It will be far inferior to Sydney 2000, the best games ever.
Just a suggestion, but you COULD just be happy with what our boys have accomplished over the last 5 years (5 consecutive Grand final appearances, 4 of those resulting in consecutive premierships) and being proud of them in the knowledge that no other NRL club has achieved this in the salary cap-era and no other club probably ever will.
You also COULD just sit back with a few bevies, stress-free knowing you have no dog in the hunt and enjoy the athleticism of an otherwise great Grand Final, not necessarily caring who wins, like I will be.
Just a suggestion… How you spend your Sunday arvo and evening is completely up to you.
