I have friends who support all the teams except the Sharks so I guess they are my pick just so I don't have to listen to them gloating.

Storm, Sharks, Roosters, Rabbitohs... Truly the most abysmal final four in the worst of all seasons. Who even gives a poo poo at this point?

Ugh. I hope whoever wins gets busted for cap rorting straight afterwards so we can have a vacated title.

Separating the poo and choosing the less of all evils is hard.

Not Storm, Not Roosters, not Gallen, leaves only Bunnies. I however do not endorse this method, and choose instead to set myself on fire.

Storm will win and this one won't be taken away.

I'm also okay with the the Bunnies winning as a second choice because of those lovable English ogres who always whip their dicks out.

I'd rather eat fox poo poo than live in a world where the Roosters or Sharks win again. Not just the Premiership, win any game again.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Reading between the lines, it seems like they got a clear message from Burgess's lawyers and representatives to be very careful about how they reported the story. I wonder if part of the deal involved referring to the exchanges as consensual.

Surely a deliberate shoulder charge to stop a try in the corner deserves a look at a penalty try or a professional foul

Nope it's Billy play on

If Billy gets suspended for the Grand Final, does that help or hurt his chances of getting the Clive Churchill medal?

He'll win that and then Origin player of the series even when he's retired.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
If it has to be a Storm v Sharks preliminary final I'll take an outcome of neither Gallen or Slater playing a Grand Final every time.

It's a blatant shoulder charge and NRL's app is already full of good guy stories and pitiful excuses so I'm sure they're laying the groundwork for just letting him off.
