    Not long to go now before the final. Quite an early start for us here: 9.15 am apparently.

    Hopefully the Cowboys can spring the upset and complete the fairytale finish.

    Still the pre match "entertainment", must be half nine kick off.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Kick off coincided with the chequered flag in the F1 beautifully. :P

    **** way to start the game. :(

    Yeah, horrible. Cowboys have had nothing but bad luck with injuries.

    Has the makings of a one sided boring final now.

    Lovely. Was worried all those penalties would go unpunished. Let's hope they can really make a game of it now.

    It's been a disappointing final, not a great contest and flat atmosphere as a result.

    All very meh. (unless you're a Storm fan, in which case, I'm sure it's been fantastic)

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    It was definitely over when Dale Finucane scored but it felt even after the first half that it was heading the way of Storm.

    A pity that it went the way the experts called and that it didn't match the drama of last year's Grand Final.

    Credit to Storm on their great season. When you think back, the Parramatta game was of huge significance. If the Eels had edged that one, perhaps the extra game for the Storm could have done them more damage. Then again I've been wishfully thinking they would stumble for a while now!

    The best team won at the end of the day. I wonder will they retain next season? I'm sure they will be involved in some capacity and I wouldn't bet against them reaching another final.

    It'll be interesting to see how Storm do with 2 of the big 3 gone. I'm sure they'll do OK still, but loss of Cronk and Slater would affect any team.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Warriors have made some ok signings so far.

    Adam Blair is costing them a bit contract wise for someone his age, but still a good player, (dirty at times) and the Warriors love these old timers coming toward the end of their career! At least it's only a 3 year deal, not 4 that Blair wanted.

    They've also signed Pulu from the Titans, Tohu Harris from Storm, who I think is their best signing so far, and Beale from the Sharks.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Marwan Koukash is supposedly keen on the Gold Coast Titans, he saved Salford but he's a magnet for poor publicity. He's pretty good for putting his money where his mouth is though.

    Storm vs Cowboys locking horns again in Round 3. That should be good.

    I see the media are reporting the Roosters are favourites to sign Cronk.

    whats up boys? :D

    The NRL has listened to the masses , a streaming service being launched in 2018 for international fans. probably cost a few quid but it'll include Origin etc
    link on the Rabbitohs website for more deets

    I just hope the NRL renew their deal with Premier/Freesports since I already get that for nothing with Eir!. Depends how much it costs as to whether I'd bother, few quid a month might be ok, the positive side effect of any legitimate streaming service is there will be hopefully be loads of free alternatives available elsewhere, not that I condone piracy of course.

    I'm really hoping they renew deal with Eir as well - I live out in the sticks - my internet is diabolical - I love watching it on Eir in glorious HD. Do you think they will show the Rugby League World Cup - it would be brill if they did - I really miss my Rugby League Fix - its such a thrilling game to watch.

    Any that say Premier Sport should be on Eir Sports 2 as well.

    That's an exciting signing for the Roosters. Maybe his experience can get them through the big games.

    Jarryd Hayne has been released from his Titans deal. Good news for both parties imo, he was pretty average last season (in a crap team admittedly). So, is he on his way back to the Eels or somewhere more exotic.

    Paul Gallen hasn't been shy in saying how bad a decision he thinks Pearce has made.
