I thought you were a broncos fan???

I’ve always had them as my second team, Freddie was/is my sporting hero so I went for them when I first saw League. Moving to Brisbane I started to go for them and did for a long time. But when Bennett signed on Matt Lodge I found it extremely difficult to support them as they were signing him just saying that he is good and that’s all that matters. I strongly believe people who threaten to kill innocents and bash kids have no right to play top grade sports. It made me turn away and lose interest. I just find it impossible to cheer for someone like that especially when his club is just condoning it.

I know it’s a strange story but yeah

You have a good hard look at the talent in that Easts lineup, it is a dream team that cannot be assembled with the current salary cap. TPAs need to be reigned in, as it is unfair across the board. And take note that Souths are a top 4 side. So how does a top 4 side,with missing only one player, get hammered? That is how far the gap is even between the top 4 side, and to a larger extent,the top 8. We shouldn't be having a finals series with lop sided scores like this. It just exposes the unevenness in the competition.

Oh yes, cause you know exactly what every player at every club is earning :rolleyes:

Manly 2008.

Untouchable. Finals series combined score of 100-8 or something crazy like that

It happens, especially with experienced teams who know when to flick the switch.

Maybe if your team didn’t overpay players like Merrin and Tamou you’d have a valid point.

Pretty much.

Panthers are a horribly managed club for all the resources they have. How much are they spending on coach payouts?

They just go to show that even because you've got mountains of cash it doesn't mean you have the midas touch.

What a pile of dung, two top 4 sides should be closer than this.

Roosters probably mentally clocked out of the regular season when they realised they couldn't win the minor prem. It's like they've been preserving all their energy for the 1st week of the finals and boy Souffs have copped it
