    Matty,

    Great thread, growing up in Victoria the NRL always thought the League was a backward game with no skill and massive meatheads belting the living suitcase out of each other..

    However over the last couple of years have really gotten into League (no idea about Union).. Have gotten into the skill and general talent of the league players.. Granted a lot of them don't help the image of League but putting that aside. Can't wait for the NRl finals to start.. As my mighty Rabbitohs will only have the belting of St George last weekend as a highlight for the year i will be supporting the Storm during the finals.. Get on the Purple and Gold

    While you're all onto it, take a look at my disgraceful website all about the greatest game of all:

    http://www.leaguefreak.com


    I'll do some more posting in this thread when we know the final makeup of the finals teams.

    I'm tipping the Storm right now though.

    We do our best work in the home and away season.. No need to play finals :)

    Your boys would want to get back on track quicksmart, otherwise it will be an early finish for them..

    If Parramatta thrash them tonight, and its on the cards, then this would have to be one of the biggest choke jobs I've seen in my life.
