    Damn.

    But knowing how the universe works, had you made that bet, the saints wouldn't have kicked that point.

    True that.

    Let's see if I can predict the NRL grand final - I'm calling it now Dragons 24 to Roosters 22. Should be a close and entertaining game if I get this right

    guess it was time for 2 teams who haven't won in a looong time to win 1.

    Yep, dragons were lucky to escape with a 1 pt win against the tigers. It could've been tigers vs roosters.

    Well the Roosters shouldn't of won in the first week of the finals against the Tigers (I still can't believe they allowed that scrum).

    That Grand Final really personified the standard of referees over the course of the season. I didn't really care who won as I can't stand either team but I really wished that it was a fair game. I'm deliberately avoiding facebook ATM so I wont fight with a friend of mine who is a rabid Dragons fan.

    It was amazing that the refs blundered so badly (touchies are useless, been saying so for years).

    And no surprise to many that the refs were looking to give points to the Roosters that they didnt earn, it happened all finals series.

    The better team on the night, and for most of the year won, a team that has a pretty ordinary halves combo (compared to many other teams). Goes to show that good coaching overcomes poor halves.

    Bring on the four nations tournie, personally, I'm going for PNG.
