Loved it. 25 years of waiting for another GF.
Well done boys.
And well done to all the fans lucky enough to be there tonight.
Papa MOM and really should be Dally-M medalist but forwards usually miss out.
Nothing in PAPA tackle.
Refs really lost their nerve tonight. Pretty poor.

Re: Ricky Stuart joins NRL Hall of Fame
Stuart vs Johns vs Thurston is really interesting. I'd say at the peak of their powers Stuart and Johns both reached a slightly higher mark than Thurston. Thurston never really dominated an NRL season the way Stuart or Johns did. Stuart between 93 and 94 was as influential as I have seen, Johns sim...

Re: NRL ban Jack Wighton for 10 matches, impose $30,000 fine
Gallen is a grade A meathead who is almost universally wrong. How is two guys taking coke getting 3 weeks making it harsh on Jack getting 10 for assault?

Re: Is Croker the right captain for the team
Not sure there is a captain debate. There are a few blokes who despite all evidence to the contrary think Croker shouldn't be captain.
If it is a debate than the nos are copping a hammering.
Absolutely certain no one at the Raiders is talking about this. Croker will be captain for a few years yet.

Re: Jack Wighton pleads guilty to assault charges
Athletic ability and size has little to do with self defence. He was either attacked and responded appropriately to defend himself and ceased the response when he was able to be safe.

This one is a bit of a mess though - being pretty bloody generous to some Raiders players there. Clear green bias.
Oh well I guess that this is only my opinion too.
