The Grand Final is over for another year

Tonight's Rugby League Grand Final finishes off the footy season with a victory to the Melbourne Storm. I am hating life knowing that they won but at the end of the day, shit happens, ay.

Two other matches were played earlier and the results for all three are below.

First Grade: Melbourne Storm 34 - Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles 8.
Premier League: Parramatta Eels 20 - North Sydney Bears 15.
Jersey Flegg: Penrith Panthers 18 - Parramatta Eels 14.

In the game they play down south the Geelong Cats shat all over the Port Adelaide Power by 163 to 44.

As much as I cannot stomach Melbourne winning a Rugby League Grand Final the pain is neutralised by three Disprin Forte and the knowledge that the Collingwood Magpies didn't stand a chance in the Australian Rules.

My tips for 2008?

NRL: Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
AFL: Sydney Swans.

	It's a pity it wasn't a Parramatta - Manly grand final, that would've been massive. The AFL was a farce. Geelong smashed Port Adelaide by so many points that the game was a complete joke. Clearly they need to get rid of some of the teams in their comp to make it more competitive.

It should have been Canterbury and Parramatta.

I agree with you on the teams issue though. There are too many in each competition. If both codes scrapped all their interstate teams and showed a bit of loyalty to the clubs that have supported their competitions over the last 100 years and more then they would get a more appreciative response from the followers of the games.

I don't know a lot about the Aussie Rules scene but personally I think the Rubgy League competition could do without Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Nth Queensland and Auckland. With this lot gone they could make way for the loyal clubs they stabbed in the back - clubs like Norths and Newtown.

The game certainly is more widespread than before but the thing is, Melbourne isn't made up of Victorian players any more than Canberra is made up of Territorians. All the players still come from New South Wales and Queensland and Queensland has its own Rubgy League and competitions anyway. Why should teams in Sydney face the axe to make way for these blow-ins? Without going interstate for weekly fixtures the game would be far cheaper to administer too and sponsorship money could be then poured into development rather than plane tickets for players and staff.
