go the storm

 

[watatank]

i don't really care who wins tbh. i just want to see a good game.

 

[Kujah]

Really disappointed with Manly's performance.

Like AFL, the NRL grand final wasn't a close one. But congratulations Melbourne - our 2007 premiers.

 

[PrinceHarry]

Manly Won, Yay

 

[watatank]

it was a moral victory!

 

[lil_georgie_gal]

GO THE STORM!! Anything to see manly go down! Anyways melbourne was the best team all year..

 

[chocolate_lover]

I didn't really care who won either, i just wanted to see a good game, but I was disappointed. That wasn't a good game to watch; nothing spectacular or exciting happened.

It would've been better if the Roosters were playing...

Awwww, and now we've gotta wait ages for the 2008 season.

Bring it on.

 

[tehsky]

go the tigers for 08' =D

 

[stazi]

if I move to Balmain next year, I may as well support the tigers

 

[wuddie]

it was close until half time. manly gave up completely after brett stewart got nailed. it was a great game nonetheless, melb really put on a show for the fans and it was only justice that they win it, after being the dominant team for two years.

congrats melb.

now bring on 2008!!!

I have never liked the night time grand final but this year it really ruined the game for me. It didn't feel like a grand final at all. It just seemed like another Friday night game. They need to change it back to an afternoon game.

Is it just me or did I feel the ref was biased towards the Storm?

The first tackling on Billy, was no way a penalty. It was pretty much a one-one tackle. then you compare this to Crocker's late hit on Stewart - which was not a penalty.

He hit him high.. above the neck - least i would expected a penalty and probably should have been sin-binned.

I thought the ref did pretty well. I only remember two bad calls.

Near the start of the game Manly had a goal-line dropout despite the fact that it was an obvious knock-on by the Storm.

Crocker's tackle on Stewart. Not because it was late, but because I thought the rule was that you couldn't shoulder people in the head. If they want to change the rule and allow it thats fine, but as long as the rule is there they should follow it.

meh refereeing aside, after the first 15 minutes or so manly were never going to win.

Yeah, I think the ref went well.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they did change that rule, I think it was after Morley (I wish he was still a Rooster) shouldered someone in the head, and knocked them out.

Hmmm, I don't know whether I'll watch the test match. The only Rooster involved is Ronnie Palmer!

 

[wuddie]

ronnie who? anyway, watch it, it should be alright. although no kidwell and vagana will make a difference. mason will be laughing.

 

[chocolate_lover]

The Head trainer or whatever he is.

The guy on the right.

 

[wuddie]

steve matai, what a joker of a c*nt. i've seen it coming for ages. he always races off the line to look to blindside someone, hardly a fair contest even if he pulls it off. today he comes out with a swinging arm - he might as well stabbed him with a knife. deserves the send off, hopefully gets suspended for ages.

nicely polished win for the aussies nonetheless, greg bird the star imo.
