Final Wins

[theo]

The fact that it's a paid job for a player should indicate the clearly different headspace between a fan and a player.

As fans we can turn off the tv or radio and not attend matches if it's too much both financial and emotional.

Sport is part of peoples lives and healthy as part of a balanced lifestyle.

I'm not disagreeing with your comment and can see how paying fans, right or wrong, get upset with their team, Saints fans booing their team after a 38-0 loss to Canterbury this year, if their paid players performances aren't as expected and their right to boo their opposition and referees, the league and the sport. And educated fans consider themselves to have more of a right.

Haha, I'm not frustrated. None of the GFs were against my side.

Melbourne won their GFs on the day but they've since been expunged. Those days, in fact those years thanks very much Melbourne, do not exist basically. So it's 2 out of 6 for Bellyache.

They did in fact win those finals, but the title associated with them has been stripped.

So for the purposes of this thread they should be included.

I agree they need to have been punished, but having to essentially pretend these games never happened is not a satisfactoy outcome. The celebrations were had, and it isn't like Manly and Paramatta can claim those titles. What we get is pedants constantly popping up to remind us of the asterix.
