I’m stunned a club like the Storm would look for any means necessarily to bend to rules to win. Not like them at all. They’d never pay players off the books or invent new tackling techniques. Bellamy is as honest as they come.

Hahaha yeah I’m not sure what I was thinking

Melbourne Storm cheated their way to a win over the Panthers last night , shock horror. Harry Grant hooks his arm around the player who’s standing still while trying to charge down a drop goal attempt & throws himself on the floor & gets awarded a penalty. The officials really are corrupt.

It’s only preseason but the roar are looking decent and winning games. Lots of new signings that look good and having an impact and I don’t know how I missed it but they’ve signed Dean Bouzanis.

I’ve not seen any of the PS matches so far but glad to see the Roar being competitive even if it’s just PS.

Who you reckon can win it ? Storm or possibly Panthers for me, can't see Wahs, Bulldogs or Raiders getting there .. no-one else is in it are they ?

I agree it’s between Storm or Panthers & the dark horse could be the Roosters. They completely blew the Dolphins away today in QLD.

Glad to see Manly almost certainly out of the finals now with needing to win all their remaining games. Canberra are a funny side. Top of the ladder , I like them & Ricky but I don’t see them winning the comp unless they improve significantly.

That AFL ladder keeps getting tighter at the top. 4 points between the top 6 right now. Still have some teams to play this weekend but it’s a great finish to the season.

Yeah it’s been an incredible season so far. The Hawks Collingwood match was an eye opener.

I saw a clip in that game of the trainer running in front of the guy taking a conversion. Such ****ty tactics. Those trainers are always doing something annoying.

The suns must be getting a bigger crowd now, is there a bit of a buzz around the gold coats with a potential first final spot? They look like they’re setup to be successful with their academy producing plenty of talent.

Yeah that really was pathetic if it was intentional

TBH I don’t know that many AFL fans but there’s definitely a buzz about the possibility of us getting in the 8. Hardwick has the Club going in the right direction. Gary Ablett was in the crowd with his family yesterday & I thought the commentator said he lives here & is working with the Club but I’ll need to check that out.

Massive win for the lions at the MCG against Collingwood.

And the suns keeping Richmond to just 2 goals. 8 points separating 1st - 8th. Don’t think I’ve ever seen it that close before.

Yeah crazy how close it is hey.

Titans almost pulled off the comeback of all comebacks against the reigning champions. 24 down at HT to hit the lead 26-24 but lose it in ET
