I still can’t get over that last 25 minutes by Cleary, I can’t recall a better performance from a half in a GF, WOW

Line break for Leota to score.

40/20 in the next play to get territory and set up the Crichton try, nails a tough kick from the sideline.

Takes the Reynolds drop out on the full to get a 20 restart and again command the territory.

Breaks the line and scores himself.

No Yeo inside. No Luai outside.

1 man dictated to 25 others what happened in the last 25 minutes of a Grand Final. Amazing.

Did all of that with a PCL strain, too. Has a resume at 25 that most players would sell their left nut to have for a career.

Tago & Sorenson were also off, watching the most amazing spectacle from the sidelines

Some World Class cheating gets Wigan over the line.

When I say over the line I mean not over the line, but lets call it over the line anyway.

It wasn't a double movement, c'mon Boon








Was a bloody triple movement, Panfs got mugged good and proper!

Yeah I'm no pie eater fan, in fact I hate them being a Rhinos man but even though the ball was well short when the tackling arm hit the ground did momentum take him as far as when the balls tip hit the line?
As wench said, looked more like a double/triple movement to me but the ref who called the try was right there and it was probably the correct video call to not overturn.

How’s the Wigan supporters setting off fireworks outside the Panthers hotel in the middle of the night to keep them awake

They're pretty feral up Manchester/Lancashire way. Just ask JTC.
Unlike good Yorkshire folk.

Now the lads are on the tear they might stuff up more than calling someone a monkey on the field.

On a side note, the Sydney Footy Show was a million times better than the Melbourne version.

Dumb Question....

The NRL Draft was deemed a restraint of trade and made it near on impossible for it to return.

Why has this not happened with the AFL. Is it simply because a player has not taken them to court about it.

Times have changed, even if a draft was introduced in the NRL it would get in as there is no legal barrier for it anymore.
There was no salary cap when the NSWRL draft was introduced and the NSWRL draft was different to the AFLs.
Even the NFL's draft was challenged but they just amended it and moved on.

Basically because of the Terry Hill High Court ruling

The AFL amended their draft process after that case so that players now had to nominate for the draft as opposed to be being a registered player therefore they could be drafted by whoever and wherever.

Basically they applied the findings of the high court to make their current draft process (since 1992) withstand a legal challenge.
