***Official*** NRL 2008 Thread

Because he's so boring and such a yes man. Reckon he's pretty pathetic and right up there as the worst "personality" on Australian tv.
Didn't think there were any sane people left in this thread. Thank goodness.

Agree wholeheartedly.

Come now, with all fairness to Chief, I'm sure there a lot worse on TV. Pick half your reality TV programs and go from there...

This isn't the NRL, but that game between the Jets and Magpies was so good. Shame the Jets couldn't come away with it in the end, was around 20 shots at field goal in the match. We needed to take our opportunities but didn't, we could have nailed a field goal 70 minutes out, rather than making the game go for 105 minutes and then lose in the end!

And that shot at field goal by Horo was possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen in Rugby League. It went off the boot straight along the ground. :lol:

We might have a night grand final tonight!

Aight, now I'm buzzed for this. Living in Melbourne you'd forgive me for not knowing this game was even on untill I saw it on the TV guide. And that's even with the Storm playing.

But yeah, looking forward to this. If it wasn't for Menzies there's no way I could stomach a Manly win, so it's go Melbourne for today!

Great work from Manly, good redemption there! Well done.

Kyle, can you open my 2009 thread now?
Nah mate, any discussion around this year's premiership or next years can still be discussed in here. I personally, don't see a need for a 2009 thread until next year as the thread will most likely lay dormant during the cricket season. However, I will open a Rugby League World Cup thread though. Just give me a few seconds.

Can anyone remember a more lopsided, underwhelming final series? Other than Bris v Roosters, Bris v Melb and Melb v Warriors the other six games were absolute walk-overs.

Best finals series I've ever seen. I've only been watching league for 4 seasons though. :o

It wont get much activity to be honest.

Yeah, quite true.

Still reckon Brisbane v Roosters was one of the highest quality matches of the season.
I agree. Match of the season, with the possible exception of Brisbane v Melbourne or Melbourne v Warriors. One of the best finals series you will ever see.

1998 was definitely better and it's a shame that when we got to the last four, the games weren't great contests. Having said that, two of those three games were just fantastic performances by Manly that I doubt any team could have beaten.

I personally thought the finals series was great, for a while Cronulla looked half a chance as did Brisbane. Melbourne were 1.95 with most bookies this morning.

Melbourne v NZ was the game of the season for mine and the Cameron Smith debacle certainly upped the drama around the whole finals series.
