Epic bump.
If you blindly followed the thread and tuned out for the rest of the year after it, then you'd assume the following happened:
1) melbourne didn't get nailed for rorting the cap
2) Parra / storm won the GF
3) NQ were rated a top tier team
4) In round 1, parra showed why they can win the GF and the dragons can't....................... this was repeated until it became a mathematical impossibility for parra to even make the 8
5) Saints can't score points
6) Saints were destined not to win another game all year
In case you did miss the rest of season 2010 - Saints won the GF, won it well, melbourne were exposed and disgraced for the frauds they were, Hayne played like a busted arse, Slater f**ked up at international level again, the roosters regained a hell of a lot of credibility, a few other teams showed they had nothing when it mattered, the tigers couldn't handle the pressure, phil gould got busted sucking off a horse, Fein was raped in prison (imprisoned for impersonating a horse) and monaghan sucked off a dog.
the end.
