Smith is such a grub. From signing two contracts (and refusing to show any remorse for cheated premierships because his team "worked really hard" as if the other 15 teams in the comp were not), deliberately attacking Croker's injured knee in 2016 off the ball, helping bring the grapple tackle/wrestle into the game, questioning a referee's penalty decision while a man lies paralysed on the ground, bending a rookies ear and then denying it despite clear evidence. He really has covered all forms of grubbery, don't mind if he spends 10 minutes off the field for something deemed soft.

Pretenders. They have been all year long.
The last 4 teams remaining were the best 4 all year... Manly a solid 5th but the Tommy T injury really took them out of the hunt.

The final 4 is the result result, and lets see who amongst them comes out on top

Yeah Parra had a soft draw in the second half of the season and filled them with false confidence. The very definition of flat track bullies.

Let’s hope it’s highly contagious and passed on by contact sport.

Broncos lose to Eels by 50 - infect them
Eels lose to Storm by 50 - infect them
Storm lose to Roosters by 50 - infect them
Roosters lose to Raiders by 50 - Raiders research cure in the off-season
I had the same thought but couldn't have been bothered typing it up.

Even without Tom, and despite the loss last night, Manly are better than Souths. I’d be spewing if I was Manly fan... they really should’ve won. Some of the tries they let in were incredibly soft and out of character for their usually sturdy defence

Apparently the Warriors have their awards night next Tuesday. RTS will be doing plenty of running up to stage.

Also, what does this mean for Team List Tuesday?

I can’t agree. Fox was once superior but have now surpassed 9’s incompetence and shot themselves in the foot by assembling the worst mix of bludger commentators of elite level sport.

Some of the worst recruitment you’ll ever see, combined with zero quality control. I can’t believe I pay for this ****.

It does seem like a bit of a waste of time. Maybe the interchange officials can't count. They do need those cards after all.
