Wrestlemania, Cam Ref Boss Smith getting in the refs faces, Grinding like a Starbucks, abusing grey areas/loopholes in the game, salary cap cheating, there is nothing these shameless snakes won't do to get an advantage.

Pick a NSWmen in their team?


That's the Qld and national Captain! Don't make me get Corey Parker here to teach you some respect!

Yep and your Broncos are cleanskins hey?

14 of the 16 teams in this comp aren't cleanskins, but your mob just take it to a whole new low road knowing full well the NRL will back you because you're an expansion club in a shaky market. You won a premiership again 24 months after being stripped of 2 and finishing on zero because of cheating. And probably nothing contributed more to the axing of David Gallop.

Just out of curiosity, which two teams do you consider to be cleanskins?

Holy shit I just saw the penalty try. Surely there's another angle I haven't seen? No way in hell you could award that! I'm not exaggerating when I say there have been 20 more deserving then that not given over the past 2-3 years

They had to award it. Otherwise Ref's Boss C. Smith would have sent them to NSW cup next week.

Just had a look at NRL.com's highlights of the match, they didnt even show the incident in a slow motion replay in the highlights, only in normal motion once and once only. Sus.

Learn the rules.

Melbourne Storm - manufactured 1988. Just 21 years after the sharks were manufactured.
1988 lol atleast the Cronulla Sharks its area had a history of Rugby league before entering in the competition the Melbourne storm where created purely for television purposes.

It's adorable how the Broncos are jealous of the leg-ups the Storm get,

They are like 2 spoilt rich kids fighting over mummy news ltd's affection.
Atleast Brisbane is a rugby league city, has there ever been a club given so many leg ups only because they are located in an AFL town, win at all cost.

Yep I have never seen them give a penalty try in that type of situation where it is not definite that they will score.

Saying that, I think it is a much better interpretation of the rule to give a penalty try when it is just quite likely (whatever that means) that the player will score rather than only when they would definitely 100% score (again, whatever that actually means). Frankly, it is very friggin rare that you can ever say 100% someone would have scored because the ball could bounce awkwardly at the last moment or the dude has hands like SKD. But if there is a good chance they could have scored then give the penalty try every time I reckon as the onus should be giving the benefit of doubt to the attacking player rather than the muppet who is blatantly and illegally interfering in a try scoring opportunity.
