Not the result I wanted but thank fu*k they can stop speculating about Penrith equalling our great St George teams. Now we need Melbourne to do as we hope and expect, send that f*cking rat Ben Hunt out in tears.

On paper at the start of the season you would've had to say, Storm and Donkeys are the two best teams. It doesn't matter now but once again Ben Hunt showed how average to bad he is in a playmaking role and how much better it is for the team when he's a No.9 instead. But you are right. Definitely need Storm to win. Seeing Ben Hunt happy in a premiership winning team will ruin my off season.

Good ol Benny Hunt might get hooked if he screws up again.

If it's true we were trying to sign Tyranny Wishart, glad we missed. Classic example of a jack of all trades, master of none.

Yep agree, didn't see him do one thing all night. That puts him as an excellent fit for the Dragons

No, my view is anyone who watched the grand final the years Melbourne won the 2 that were taken off them later, will remember Melbourne winning those grand finals. Their fans had the joy of winning the grand final and the players had the joy of winning the comps, anyone who backed them had the joy of winning the comps and got paid out and no other club players or fans or punters had the joy of winning the comp those 2 years. Officially and in hindsight no one won the comp those 2 years. Officially Melbourne got the spoon, when they actually won the grand finals.

Melbourne have been very successful over the last 28 years. Even without the 2 grand finals that were officially taken off them, they have still won 4 in 28 years, with only Penrith winning one more and equal with Brisbane and Easts. They have certainly been very successful.

Even more will remember those GF victories got "officially" taken away from Melbourne for cheating.

Sorry if it ruins your pet narrative but Penrith have been the most successful team over the last 28 years. That too is a fact.

If you count how many times they "won grand finals" Melbourne are ahead, winning 6 grand finals. Even though they had 2 taken off them on official records, they still won those 2 grand finals. The players still consider they won those 2 grand finals and their fans probably do too. Their fans had the joy of winning those grand finals. I doubt they felt the pain of losing a grand final, when those 2 grand finals were taken off their official wins. Those who backed Melbourne to win the comp in those years also got paid out and didn't lose their winnings, when the comps were "officially" taken off them. The players kept their grand final rings too.

You say "it is promising for us". Is it also promising for other clubs and if so which ones and explain why it is promising for us and if there are others, explain why it is promising for them. I still think "the monied up clubs", such as Easts, Canterbury, Melbourne and Brisbane's prospects are better than the rest of the NRL clubs. Lets see who wins the most Grand Finals over the next 10 years?

Frank, this is your dumbest comment yet. All this just to downplay the junior catchment of the Illawarra area? Why don't you instead say something like, Yep, they have a shitload of juniors but if we have the money we can buy those juniors like Melbourne and Rorters do? That is a serious discussion.

But I don't blame you for the dumb comment. You are being forced to tiptoe around an issue you really want to talk about. I warned Eric this would happen.

If you read back, my post was a reply to Dragons Chris. The conversation was one one that branched off the Bula conversation, in which we were said to be in the running to sign. Maybe I will start a Purdue thread or I may start a thread of players we should sign. That sounds like a good thread.

I like Frank. I like reading contrary views I don't agree with. But seriously, is his insistence on posting stuff utterly irrelevant to the thread trolling?
