i dont give a **** how we won it, we won it, we kept it, i cried with pops all night, i kissed the trophy

everything else doesnt ****ing matter

And that mentality is what has been wrong with this club in recent years and 100% the reason why it is in the state that its in.

I guess in a way this forum shows that there is a division in the club at all levels.

Some don't care about cheating and displaying a lack of ethics to acheive success, they just want the success.

Others would prefer that the club earnt that success fair and square.

What we actually did in terms of TPA's & the cap and how the NRL and subsequent media outlets reported it have been shambolic and out of sync

the NRL needed to be alot clearer with what we were actually being punished for, quantify it and communicate it effectively - now the league worlds hating imagination is running wild with people calling for a stripping of premiership without even understanding what transpired

Mate it wouldn’t matter if the NRL explained it, those idiots out there would still give us grief because they’re mental.

nah but melbourne's cheating was a 10/10 ours was an 8/10 remember
****ing gronk he is

And ours was much less than an 8/10 up to and including 2016
Ie $70,000 in incorrect TPAs but still under cap in 2016 is like 2/10

There's a few sides to this and it's why I can't fathom how anyone can be retarded enough to think our cheating has been a good idea.

1 - Cheating just invalidates the entire purpose of sport. Sport is more or less defined by its rules. It isn't a street fight or a war or anything, it's a make believe contest where the rules are set and the winner is the person / team that does the best within those rules. Cheating is ****ing ridiculous because it means that the competition was between people following rules and people breaking them. The advantage through breaking rules invalidates the success. It's a hollow victory if you cheat and win. If you disagree you're ****ing deluded and probably a sociopath.

2 - Even if you put the above aside, we are ****ing horrible at cheating and don't gain any advantage from it, we just lose face, lose money, and hurt our long term prospects in the sport. How can anyone think it was a good idea to use peptides or try to set up illegal 3rd party payments when we had spare cap space. We not only cheat, we are ****ing **** at it! So why the **** even bother? And why would anyone make excuses for these ****s that have no ethics AND no talent in cheating?

Cheating didn't help us get that, but it does take a little bit away from it IMO. I still think we are legit premiers, mostly because we're so bad at cheating the cheating was ineffectual.

It would be nice to think that those still on the board, if any, from the 'f*** the rules' days, won't be after the elections. Naive I know, but one can only hope.

And yeah snowman i did cheer when they won. Been waiting 40 years for that, and i am gutted that its now under question and looking like we cheated to get it.

It's the only prem not under question actually. No other premier has had the NRL go through all their **** and declare their trophy safe.
