Didn't paint the Storm boys in a good light.

Re: NRL season

Absolute hatchet job by all accounts .
Tabloid rubbish, and to be honest Sixty minutes lost credibility years ago.
It's just another trashy magazine style program

Re: NRL season

Worst piece of gutter journalism I've seen in a long time.

This video offers a counterpoint to the rubbish served up by 60M:

You clearly see Smith stops talking to the ref and in fact looks quite concerned. He then resumes his dialogue once McKinnon leaves the field and makes a very fair point about the danger of ducking into a tackle.

I won't say anything bad about McKinnon as he's been through hell and was obviously led down this path by 60M, but I hope he reassesses his position and makes amends as he unfairly assassinated Smith's character on national TV.

Re: NRL season

Great game of League tonight with the Cowboys scoring right at the death to take the game into golden point and then scoring a field goal in the first play of golden point. Great to see the underdog get up and a team that hadn't won the premiership before.

Re: NRL season

That was quite a game. I didn't want it to finish.

Re: NRL season

I switched over as they made the try to level the scores. Wow the emotions watching these guys got me thinking what it wold be like for us to win the premiership. I think I may be a wreck for a week at least.

Wayne Bennett serial grump is moaning about extra time
Didn't see it but listened, what an outstanding gf, and thoroughly deserved premiership.
The Cowboys have been on the end of some horrific finals officiating.

It's worth seeing some video of the final minute, with the try and missed conversion. Amazing stuff.

Re: NRL season

Any chance JG could come down to Whitten Oval and spend an hour or so teaching basic kicking technique? Even though he just missed that last try conversion if you look at his kicking technique under about as much pressure as the is in sport it was just beautiful. His head was right over the ball as his foot hit it and his stayed down. Amazing kick of a ball is Thurstons and I couldn't think of anyone better to model a technique on.
