f**k that I'm glad the bogans lost!
I have one theory when it comes to Grand Finals that Saints aren't in. I hope an interstate team (except Brisbane) win it, so they can take their trophy and f**k off out of my state.
This rubbish Parra love fest in the media is finally over, so I can buy the papers and read the news again.
The Storm will take their trophy and leave today, so we will only hear about their success for a day then it will be all over. If Parra had won, we would be hearing about it until next March and that would just be painful. I just have trouble stomaching the thought of any other team winning the premiership and would prefer not to have it shoved in my face.
Poor old parra. I feel sorry for them, as they have had almost as much heart ache as us over the years. And yes, Melbourne remain an evil corporation club.
That said, Melbourne deserved the win. They played great footy and didn't even break a sweat.
Just wish it was us against them, we would have given them a run for their money!
GODDO - You have got to be kidding don't you?
Parra walked all over us. Broncos left us for dead. Look what happened with the storm vs broncos game - no contest.
Really guys it would have been embarrasing if we played the Storm.
Even the dogs would have had us on the day.
Good teams know when to win important games.
Unfortunately I can't see us getting any better next year.
Parra will be a force
Plus the old dragon killers - Broncos and Storm will be at it again at the pointy end of the season. I can see the Tigers and Rabbitohs improving also.

Talk about doom and gloom... Our form was terrible at the end of the season, as much as the other teams lifted. I don't think we'll win the MP next season, heck I think we were lucky to win it this season given our playing roster. But I do think we'll be better prepared come the "pointy end of the season", and I'll be damned if I'm going to give up on our chances next season.
* We have a solid, consistent squad with a tough back row.
* We have a great coach.
* We have a very good 5/8 th, who will continue to improve under Bennett.
* We have the best two defensive centres in the game, who can both ball play, with two of the quickest wingers in the NRL on their outside
* We have a solid fullback, who will be better with a full season in that position under his belt.
* We have a state of origin prop with several up and comers.
* We have the best U20 half in the game waiting in the wings.
We'll be fine next season. I think we'll finish 4th or 5th in the regular season and give the finals a good shake.
We will not win the comp unless we make changes to No9 and No1 it's simple.
I'm not saying we'll win the comp, I'm just saying that we'll do better come the semi finals. There are too many clubs that are able to keep playing rosters full of superstars for us to stand an even chance. That underdog tag should be used to our advantage.
I agree that we lack a quality number 9. For me Fien is a bench player and Young is a back rower. But where are we going to get a quality dummy half from? Unless we want to fork out 400K per season I think we'll have to bring one through the junior system, which means we might have to wait for a few seasons.
That doesn't mean that we don't stand a chance though. I'm astounded by how negative some of our supporters are, buck up boys and support your team for better or for worse.
We do have our fair share of emo'sI'm astounded by how negative some of our supporters are
I wouldn't mind giving Hornby a real crack at hooker.
