Whats Your Teams Whinge For Not Winning The Grand Final?

[shadow grinder]

2005- clark cheated us out of a number of wins...as another storm fan says "we were clarked"

2001(i think)- storm were 9th and needed to win to get into the 8...we were playing warriors and the score was tied IIRc...geyer had to take a kick from a bout a metre in from the sideline to win the game...so geyer moved the tee in about half a metre and thought the ref didnt see...but he was caught and the ref made him put the tee on the sideline! the kick only missed by an inch...robbed i tells ya!

This year even though the Raiders were miles off for me was Gafa and Elliot.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

I dont have a whinge.

My team (Warriors) just couldnt match it this season, whether it be not able to hold on the 80 mins, couldnt find any consistantsy..except loosing under pressure or whther it be we just wernt motivated. It came down to my team.

With that, ill rest by the talent we had this year....we should have easily been in the top 8. Especially if you look at our forwards, a well above average pack i'd say Wiki Hohaia/Fein Price Anderson Koopu Faumuina. Should have been in the 8 at least. Severly dissappointed, but i know it came down to our end. We were beaten by the better team on almost all if not all occassions which we came away with the points. And i'll admit to some days we DIDNT deserve the 2 points which we managed to get somehow.

Oh well at least we don't have a bare trophy cabinet

And remember at the start of the year Johns was playing. So this must then mean that Newcastle can't win when Johns isn't there, but they can't win when he's there either. :?

lose of many good players including Fittler so rebuilding commenced. More good players leaving next year - mor out than in.


we weren't good enough last year

2002 - Now this f***ing hurt so bad! Leading the whole f***ing game v the warriors only to have a try from a FORWARD PASS (I know all warriors fans won't admit it... but THAT pass from cleary > toopi was FORWARD) disallow us the opportunity to take on the Roosters a week later! Also blame Mellor and Peachey for bombing some of the worst tries you could bomb! F**K!

go have a look at it again and watch the line this time.

just as close as the sharks try off the bomb after half time.

I think a lot of people need to realise that this whole topic is supposed to be tongue in cheek. That's why i think Mr Sharky's whinge is a great laugh.

As for Parramatta being robbed I don't have anything to whinge about.

1973 ..........Bloody Manly, Bloody Bob Fulton.

The first was a blatant forward reverse pass from Jones, Bloody Fulton was a least a metre offside and Bloody Fultons 2nd try he was tackled into touch in front of the Sheridan Stand. I know, I was there, I was drunk, I saw the whole thing.

Well if we had that froggy linesman then he would of put his flag up.

Least we put up a bloody great fight. Not like the sanitized crap we've seen in the last decade or so of GF's.

Well said Quigs. I was there as well and for the 1978 GF. Robbed both times. Since then, I've got no complaints. Beaten by the better side each time. We had our chances against both the Warriors and Newcastle to make the GF but just weren't good enough to put them away.

P.S I love the little animated bits in your sig. Brilliant!

Brothers in Arms..........Commrade.

Any sharkie making the GF this year should put up a banner - we hate hartley.

Just so the injustice will not be forgotten.

Cry me a river!

Everyone has a story about how their team was supposedly screwed out of that Grand Final victory they deserved.

So lets hear your story.

It can be from any season, not just this year.



For me, it was Rhys Wesser going to the Sin Bin last year against the Bulldogs.

If anything, the Bulldogs player should have been sent to the bin for trying to get the penalty.

I mean, Rhys.....deadset, butter wouldnt melt in his mouth. Also, we were the better team at one point in 2004.

We were screwed out of the 2004 Title! :x


;-)

My biggest whinge is....we weren't there :evil: we should have been there damn it, and would have been too if it wasn't for...ummmm...errrrr...hmmmm our poor end of season form

 

[Bumble]

I seriously think that without Sutton getting his jaw broken by Jason Smith and the 7 game losing streak that accompanied this, we would have made the finals.

Wasn't it his sternum?

Nice play at twisting the facts to suit the story. If poor diddums can't handle the impacts of the NRL, tough luck. I'm sure Smithy set out to break his sternum deliberately too :roll:

 

[Objective One]

No whinge, beaten by a better side on the night...

could you clarify which year you are talking about?

Hmm, my bad honest mistake...why the hell would I want to twist the facts of the story? It's not like I have an anti-Canberra/J.Smith agenda...

And you call Sutton a diddums for not being able to handle the impacts of the NRL? Isn't J.Smith the one who ran off to England for a few years?

 

[bluenwhite]

Poor baby.

Ours is simple from last year... El Masri's try was a double movement!

lol :lol:

it was in fact jason croker that broke Suttons sternum....not Smith
