Sharks, Melbourne or who gives a flying fark

[Waerea-Beast!]

I have hated the Sharks ever since what transpired with Carney. The way Buzz had him stalked until he was caught slipping up, only to then hand deliver him to his beloved "Sharkies."

Fifita & Flanagan are two of the biggest see you next Tuesday's in the game. How Flanagan comparing Fifita's strapping to Gallen dedicating his to a terminally sick kid didn't get any negative media is beyond me. Disgrace of a club with a number of grubs that won't ever be matched by another team ever again. I hope they never win a comp. It's a shame they never folded through their financial difficulties (they managed to continually sign high profile players despite being on the verge of bankruptcy).

Also, the majority of their team is 'bought' yet nobody bats an eyelid.

Anyone who thinks we're treated unfairly by the NRL or by the "game managers" has rocks in their head.

perhaps it is you that has rocks in your head but i give you the benefit of the doubt as you could have blinkers on.

I'm convinced that the NRL will be doing everything in their power to help Cronulla win.
It's the redemption story they badly want after the scandals of the past few years, much like the Dogs redemption story they wanted and got in 2004....

Redemption?

They admitted taking illegal drugs and were never punished in any real sense.

The NRL public is still disgusted by that whole episode and so they should be.

We were treated grossly unfairly between 2013-2015 by the refs, and that's a statistical fact.

I also believe the NRL didn't stand in the way of an unfair wave of momentum in Souffs favour in 2014. The refs rode them home hard. The fact they received 219 penalties that year (by far the most) and we received a paltry 135 (the fewest) is a glaring statistic. An extra 84 penalties despite 27 games played each. That is clear evidence of underlying bias imo.

Again, I don't believe there was an overt agenda from the NRL. But they didn't hide the fact that they would have been happy for Souffs to win; an attitude which clearly filtered down into the referee circles.

I defy anyone who disputes this to justify such a disparity in penalties.

That being said, I certainly don't buy into the conspiracy that the NRL choose a team every year they want to win and make it happen. That's a stretch way too far.

100%

The record of penalties against us over many years certainly points to a pre-conceived idea

Also, we lost a handful of games this season as a direct result of video refs overturning onfield. That happened to us more than anyone.

No conspiracy but we are certainly entitled to have a very sour taste in our mouths.

I hope the Storm win by 40 and Cameron Smith exits ANZ in a wheelchair.

[milanja]

Wow, with some of the photos in this thread, and hoping that a player leaves the field in a wheelchair, it's like i am reading the kennel forum.

Pee Gee..I gather this doesn't stand for Paul Gallen?

The bunker is just bunkham! I will always watch our games, as excruciating as some of them have been this year, but that is part of being a true supporter. You have to take the good with the bad no matter what. My access is still playing up so I will bid everyone farewell as I won't be able to log in anymore..I'm always happy for people to prove me wrong with my predictions! Feel free to mock me if Cronulla do not win..I won't be able to reply anyway!

I was so excited to see you back posting again RWB, so it's sad to see you can't post anymore. Hope all is going well with you.
And I hope your crystal ball sees a few more Roosters premierships in the very near future.

What kind of a dick posts this in a footy forum?

[Mickie Lane]

Actually, I'm only up to 10 years in a row and Sunday will be 11 if I'm correct. Manly is next year according to my murky crystal ball..my boss said I can bet with $10 of his money just to see what happens...I first got my inkling of Cronulla in November last year..

Well done on your prediction.

[Kingbilly]

I was definitely going for Cronulla. I am an Ennis fan (he is hilarious on the field and a true gentleman off ) and a Flanagan fan (having met him).
I despise Melb's tactics. Although I keep seeing examples of what quality men Cronk and Smith are off the field. I can't say the same about Bellamy or Chambers both dicks.

You can say what you want but I think both the Cowboys and Cronuilla were deserved winners. I can't say the same about $ouffs, they tried for at least 2 years to gift them a win, I am still filthy that Burgess was allowed to play in the 2014 GF

[milanja]

At least Melbourne hold as bad a record as us in grand finals or worse. 7 grand finals, 1 controversial win in 99, 1 in 2012, a record 40-0 loss to manly,loss to bris, loss to sharks and two stripped v manly and parra.

Melb 7 finals in 18yrs,2 wins 5 losses
Roosters, 6 finals in 18 yrs 2 wins 4 losses.

Well done on your prediction.

Thanks very much Mickie. I'm so glad I was right as I ran into Bryan Fletcher on Saturday morning and he said he was going to back them too in that case! It would have been awful if I was wrong...
