Insane game on at the moment

Sometimes this bucket of aids masquerading as a sport can be quite good.

Hell of a grand final. Two years in a row. Happy for Cronulla. They were done and dusted as a club two years ago. No mean feat to beat the NRL's leading referee Cameron Smith.

both scott morrison and andrew fifita are happy. bloody hell

this ad for the cricket is close to making me stop being a fan of cricket

Proof that crime does pay

Love the difference in how Channel 7 and 9 deal with the winning moments

7 - Brief quip from Cometti before letting the team song and player/crowd reactions flood the screen for 5 minutes

9 - Ray Warren keeps saying HOW ABOUT THIS as the captain, clearly trying to celebrate and overcome with emotion is forced into a terrible interview immediately

Is this Rabs last year? He is ****ing senile.

Is this Rabs last year? He is ****ing senile.

Been asking that for a few years now.

This is pretty cool, even if it is British.

The crowd fighting afterwards was all class.

 

[Spikey]

it was the Romanians

Yeah, good thing Brexit is coming, clearly all the eastern Europeans fault.

On the game itself, I imagine that the winning team would struggle to celebrate really, I mean, sure you've won so you're still in a job, but the 17 blokes on the other side of the paddock have just had their contracts terminated, professional sport is a small world so expect alot of those players would be really good mates.

Harsh concept, couldn't believe it when i first read about it, but I guess thats what happens when you reach the bottom of the leagues.

"Lottoland Stadium". Heh.

 

[Ausage]

I'd laugh but we were Centrebet for years.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Even better, I heard it's just "Lottoland". That's awesome.

Manly vs Penrith at Lottoland, Monday night. Hehehe.

I bet there's a real good story over why the Councillors agreed to hand over the naming rights....

Gutsy win from Parra last night with one bloke on the bench by the end of the game. Loving Nathan Brown's work. Jeez he goes ****ing hard.

Warriors are a flat out joke though. Half a heart between the whole club.

Billy just throwing some spice back into selection for Queensland.

 

[Burgey]

He has to play. Would be insane not to pick him.

 

[Ausage]

Yeah Boyd had a very quiet night on Wednesday.
