This could very well be the death of Rugby League in New Zealand.
This could very well be the most overdramatic post in LU history.
They have lost a grand final before...
Whether they won or not, nothing was going to topple Union as the #1 sport. And losing this won't kill the game.
The Warriors overachieved, NZ should be proud of them.
Meanwhile, the best team all year won and deservedly won. They were the best all year, they were the best today. Manly deserved to win premiership #8.
I'm neutral, this grand final was between a team I hate and a team I hate slightly less. And the refs were nowhere near as bad as everyone was saying.
And.... Glenn Stewart deservedly CC medallist.
