Oh, it was tainted mate but I understand the opinion of Dogs supporters on this one.

My reasoning is that if you had on player on your books who was bought during your "cap rorting" period, in the GF season it was tainted.

Fact is if you hadn't rorted the cap, that/those player/s would never have been there.

The further fact that A. Ryan saved the game with a last minute tackle further muddies the legitimacy of the premiership. To me anyway.

Ok, I'll use that logic in that case...of course...it will not be to the same extent.

The West Tigers in season 2005 used an illegal kicking tee to gain an advantage off their kick off's. Sure, it ain't no bg deal. This kicking tee gave the Tigers a slight advantage from the get go in games. When kicking off, the extra height on the kicking tee meant that Pat Richards was able to get more so under the ball meaning that the ball would have more hang time. The outcome of this is that The Tigers defensive line would basically have the opposition pinned on the goal line from the start. Quite a psychological advantage.

So...The Tigers infringed the rules in 2005 and got caught. Does this mean that the season is tainted? A tainted pemiership? FYI, I am just blowing smoke....but even so, the logic is quite the same.

With the Dogs in 2002. We copped the harshest punishment in the history of the NRL, and rightly so. We can only do what the NRL tells us, took our punishment on the knuckles and moved on. We had to let go alot of quality players in that time.

It might be tainted for you, but for me it will always be a well earnt premiership. A season I will always cherish, as will you in 2005.

End of argument about premierships.

Canterbury - 2004 Premiers

Wests Magpies - 2005 Premiers

So there you go......

Bit of a stretch comparing an illegal kicking tee with a full-blown and premeditated attempt to cheat the salary cap system. But I understand your point.

League is full of attempts to get around/work/bend the system, such as instructions to hold players down to change the pace of the game, illegal shoulder pads etc.

On-field is different to off-field. On-field is instant and if the kicking tee was illegal, it was up to the officials to declare it immediately.

I'll have to disagree with your "quality players" comment though, most of the blokes you let go were in positions that were already covered (eg Thurston let go when you had Anasta and Sherwin in the halves), what it did was hack away at your depth, the first XVII was still a quality above the opposition in 2004 and 2005. Obviously the injury toll carved you up in 2005.

Good luck with that Steve Noyce wannabe.

But it will be too late when Benji dons the blue and white jersey come 2007.

Can see it now Benji stepping through half a dozen players backhand pass to SBW who runs over another half a dozen players and offloads it to shrek to score under the post.

Awesome team come 2007

There should be a thread about who the bigger dickhead is.

The sad thing is they will vote for themselves.

I was about to post something along the same lines!
A couple of little lovebirds venturing out into the tigers forums trying to impress eachother in the face of adversity!

It is sweet but a rugby league forum is not the appropriate place!
PM eachother, or better still GET A ROOM!!!
