Shane Flanagan's rant, Greenberg's response

[Generalzod]

For what's it's worth the glow from winning the Comp lasts a few years

You'll be right

I've got no problem losing even Flanno said it was a great match to watch pity it was decided by dubious ref decisions Any way best of luck next week

 

[Generalzod]

Nothing controversial about last year. Or the 39-0.

And we both won a premiership...

Lets call it even then

Hey I don't mind the Cowboys I got the same pleasure watching you guys win the premiership against the Broncos

Karma baby.......

Karma baby.......

Go to bed genius

 

[Generalzod]

So sad yet I can't stop laughing tonight.

Oh well I thought Doust and Mary made for a year of great comedy and guess what we all laughed

 

[Rabbits20]

Lol is that all you've got......

Flanagan & Gallen are a real classy pair, 80 odd years between them and still throwing tantrums. Presser was the most embarrassingly pathetic display I have seen all year and makes Sticky look mature. Sharks were terrible, had nothing to do with the refs.

Tonight, I haven't stopped laughing.

it's emotion because of the disappointment.

after the emotion subsides & the coaching team work through the details, they'll obviously apportion the blame for the result to where it belongs - their players. the ref didn't cost them that game - they did.

Previously unseen footage of the Flanno presser.

Then the world is a very happy place tonight.

You should wait a few days and objectively look at the presser.

While my team and our moronic coach gave a season's worth of laughs, your coach managed quite a few in just a few minutes.

Not exactly ancient history but I'm sure you where laughing a lot

I used to have a soft spot for the Sharkies but now really despise them and it's all on the back of Flanagan.

Little weasel merkin makes my skin crawl.. yeh they got a couple of bad calls, so did the cowboys and so does every team every weekend.

Get over it you little pissant and cop defeat on the chin.. fact is your club after a magnificent 2016 has been average at best all season and only due to the pathetic overall quality of the comp this year did you even manage to snag 5th.

I think you and the entire team just thought you would waltz into the finals and everything would click and it would be back to 2016 well guess what the Cows had other ideas and they got the win based on one thing and that wasn't the refs calls it was heart... more ticker than the gummies

Ciao homeboy see you on Kuta beach on Tuesday

I was- nice to see Melbourne get beaten in a GF, even given who beat them.

But if we're talking history, the St George teams of 1956-1966 were so dominant that they produced a premiership in 2016

 

[Apey]

Incorrect.

The reason we lost was bad calls.

Should have been a Penalty to the Sharks when Gallen got stripped and we ice the game.

Then Coote loses the ball but gets a penalty and the Cowboys level up with 2 minutes to go.

Should have been a scrum and we AGAIN go on to win the game.

Refereeing was beyond bad and if I was the coach I can't say I would've had the same restraint.

suck shit

Everyone will laugh at Flanno and good on them for doing so, it's only natural to feel resentment towards a successful coach but let's not let the personalities get in the way or what an abysmal refereeing performance we've seen all weekend, 2 games decided with the whistle

That's two teams who have worked hard all year having their seasons decided on a decision, an incorrect decision, just shows how crucial it is to finish in the Top 4, ironically though the bad calls came in the elimination games

Been happening ever since the first game in 1908.

So what about the teams who missed out on the semis because of bad calls during the year.

Why can't you say their season was ruined by bad calls?

BTW- I don't put my team in that category.

They had some bad calls (as did every other team), but ultimately they missed out on the top because they weren't good enough. The amazing thing about my team is they got so close depite the coaching deficiencies.
