congrats panthers, far too good and despite us hanging in were never in trouble of losing it

thought our guys did as well as can be expected considering the circumstances. Madden did ok, kicked and tackled well which is as much as can be expected considering he’s played 10 games in 2 years.
Thanks Vic. Hope we have your backing during the finals.

Cronk left for his missus , he would of retired a purple merkin otherwise. Inglis left because they got caught for being cheating merkins and Falonk was hardly a champion IMO.
You claimed no superstars leave Melbourne.
People are pointing out to you that’s not true.

Smug twats
You're undoubted highlight of the year. I don't really care about the Tigers to be honest though, other than the cheap and lazy entertainment I get from watching that 'Tales from Tiger Town' doco on Fox League.

Someone asked whether Corey Allan was the worst Origin player ever in the other game but I just remember Moses Mbop played for QLD so that answers that question
Yeah both shit.

Probably shouldn’t gloss over Brett Hodgsons contributions for NSW though…YIKES!

Agree. But the narrative that the Storm are salary cap cheats that buy their premierships is a bit false. They shed good players most years and the people they replace them with (who invariably become very good) are either juniors from QLD or journeymen from other teams.
Exactly.
The hatred is based upon bullshit.
Their squad changes constantly and their systems keep them top 4.

I like the rivalry that is building. Lots of other club games have a trophy ascribed to them; I think it would be good to get one for the Tigers/Panthers.

So congratulations Tigers; the inaugural winners of the ‘Ivan Cleary, Family Man of the Year’ trophy for season 2021.

I don't think they are cheating the cap but definitely they aren't really doing much for the NRL in Victoria, their squad of this season and in past seasons has consisted of QLD/NZ based players

I think they are the best at seeing talent before they are exposed to the NRL and under the coaching of Bellamy they become even better players but you can't sit there and say they aren't "buying" their success, they certainly aren't developing them locally.

Hodgo's Origin debut was outstanding and he was a star for Parra and Wests over plenty of years but.

Defs doesn't deserve to be in the same convo as Moses fking Mbye

They are cheating merkins but they don't buy their success Roosters style, the way Martina improves his players is ridiculous and Surfer Dude Hynes is the new best example.
