You could be right, the Seagles also didn't care in '08 that Melbourne were over the cap . . . they didn't need referee Simpkins either, who 'retired' soon after the '06 debacleI know it's difficult for you to remember these days ole mate but we won and they were over the cap

I'll have to go back and watch it again now . . . thanks for the tipThe Broncos copped some shit calls in 06 as well but because the commentators didn't mention them you didn't see them

Don't take it too seriously ol' mate, Melbourne finished on 44 this year and in '06, Brisbane finished on 36 this year and 32 in '06, we all know which team was best both years. . . . The Shield tells allI think Melbourne didn't get the same memo as Simpkins and Brisbane that the 2006 GF was going to be a Shane Webcke benefit. Even Brisbane's own Courier Mail referred to the calls as *contentious* and *controversial*...
To their credit, Brisbane played the whistle. Melbourne were too busy getting their knickers in a knot over the calls. Do I think Brisbane was gifted the Premiership? Absolutely. Do I think Melbourne deserved it instead? With the benefit of hindsight, unequivocally No.
Interested in Brisbane supporters explaining to me how a team that comprised Hodges, Tate, Hunt, Lockyer, Webcke, Civoniceva, Thorn, Carroll and Parker would be worth *less* in a Salary Cap sense than that 2006 Melbourne team. Oh yeah, Thoroughbreds..
Not having a dig, but seriously...
