If you're in the ACT, thats probably fair enough. Must be buzzing down there.

Then you get to gameday, pub etc and the nerves disappear...right until about 30 minutes before kick off then they're all over the place

I know I'll take my seat at the GF and still expect someone else to play.
"In tonights performance of the NRL grand final, the role of opponent will be played by the Melbourne Storm. We don't apologise for the inconvenience."

Nice try at a slight tweak of history. Teddy signed well before the offseason. No mention of the players moved on to accomodate. Guerra, skd, Watson, nikorima, Evans etc. Cronk was a tricky one but Pearce moving on meant others didn’t need to go. What an upgrade that has turned out to be. An anchor of Anasta proportions.

Not as big a tweak of history as claiming Canberra were the masters of cap cheating by listing the 1994 team when it was the 1991 team that went over.

And we didn’t even win the grand final that year. Amateur stuff.

The 94 team was compliant in spite of a star studded lineup hence they are the cap masters. That was the point. If that team wore red, white and blue, everyone would lose their shit over it, kinda like they’re doing now

I listed no such team or made any such claim.

You were there though

It’s not like the 91 team was full on Nuffies

If the general public knew the true degree of financial wizardry going on over in Bondi, there wouldn't be a Bondi left.

They do know.

Just ask any of the general public what our players get paid and they will itemize it for you.

Here is one for the history buffs, this is the first 2v4 GF since forever.

It hasn't happened in the NRL era and unless I missed something it hasn't happened dating back to the mid 30s before which point it was first past the post and/or 1v2 in the GF.

Astounding given the propensity for top 4 teams to make the GF.

Those lists never include the bullion or many pieces of fine art that make it into a player's possession.

I heard the Roosters training gear actually has secret compartments to store highly valuable bitcoins in it

They used to be for sapphires, rubies and doubloons. Faberge eggs were considered too fragile.
