That's it. He knocked it on into himself and then it rebounded back. That's a knock on. The Fox commentators were full o shit.
Same with Nine. They really tried to set the tone with this one. The game could've ended in controversy, which NSW's great comeback didn't deserve.

How good was Capewell in that? Really justified his selection and underlined his recent club form. Hope he carries it through for the rest of the season!
If he does, and he's capable of shutting down players as good as Haas, well, you know, how far can we go? I must admit to getting a little excited about the business end of this year.

We're not there yet. We know that, of course.

Indeed. There’s parts of the Storm I do admire, Bellamy’s record is undeniable and they’ve had some good Kiwi’s over the years.

But fk me.. when guys like Slater and Hoffman get on their sanctimonious high horses it really fking grates given their history.

Hoffman will tell you as well that none of them knew they were over the cap, even the captain who was managing himself at the time …
Yeah, exactly. I liked Hoffman as a Warrior but F him, he's one of the Storm flogs who still claims they have the premierships.

And how many times has the word grub been used before Saint Billy arced up about it? Gets used nearly every week, and quite accurately from a guy who used his knees and feet as tackling technique.

So much right about what Melbourne has done, but so toxic too… can’t like any of them tbh

I love how they always say “we worked as hard as anyone else and know we deserved them” argument, every club was working hard, most of them inside the rules though

There is also the fact in 2009 they were weak in the halves, so got Finch over mid season to sort that while already a mile over the cap

Rugby League will forever peak at a cheating side getting decimated 40-0 in the the big one. “But we didn’t have Cam Smith”, well, look what happens when you play near the cap fellas
