Finally won a grand final.
They were the better team in the night and one of the few decent players and human beings in their squad was a worthy Clive Churchill medallist. However the show was stolen by Smiths very humble and well spoken runners up speech,
Showing once again his class and leadership, while his Opposition captain dropped f bombs on live tv (but not by far the best/worst ever seen after a final win!) and tried to extol the virtues of the drug pushers, bullies, thugs and morons he both plays with and is coached by.
The lessons for everyone to take from this victory? You can win premierships after taking drugs kids but you cannot buy class or respect, no matter what garbage the daily telegraph writes in the coming weeks.
