  • Biggest Week of the Year for Rugby League It’S the NRL Grand Final THIS Sunday
    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 28th September 2016 Newsletter #141 It’s the Biggest Week of the year for Rugby League It’s the NRL Grand Final THIS Sunday Kick Off: 9.15PM New Zealand Time Who Wins the 2016 Grand Final? By John Coffey QSM Author of ten rugby league books, Christchurch Press sports writer (44 years), NZ correspondent for Rugby League Week (Australia) and Open Rugby (England) HE AUSTRALIAN airlines will profit from Grand Final weekend, with Melbourne Storm fans heading Tto Sydney for the NRL decider on Sunday, and Sydney Swans supporters going the other way for the AFL showdown on Saturday. Both have been dominant clubs in the last decade, in contrast to their rivals. The Cronulla Sharks are seeking their first title in their 50th season, while the Western Bulldogs have not played a final since 1961. I know nothing about Aussie Rules but I do know I have mixed feelings about whether I want the Sharks or the Storm to take home the trophy. Here are some arguments for and against: Why I want the Storm to win: More Kiwis: With the Bromwich brothers, Kevin Proctor and Tohu Harris, the Storm have a distinct Kiwis connection, not to mention flying wing Suliasi Vunivalu, who went to school in Auckland. Best team all season: The Storm are the most consistent team, as evidenced by their winning the minor premiership being without champion fullback Billy Slater. The coach: Craig Bellamy has been blessed with some superstars but also has the knack of turning journey- men into influential players.

Slater was allowed to take his place after a judiciary hearing which took just under three hours with almost 50 minutes of deliberation. But former referee’s boss Greg MacCallum was a guest on NRL 360 and slammed the shoulder charge rule. “I think there’s too much emphasis on the potential outcome rather than what happens on the field,” MacCallum said. “When you look at tonight’s one, you see there’s no impact on the head, there is some flex of the neck but was there intent to really put a hit on him? “I don’t think so and I think that’s where the 200 points is probably the thing that’s going to challenge the game after tonight.” Daily Telegraph journalist and NRL 360 host Paul Kent argued the severity of the charge is what is needed to eradicate it from the game. “In order to eliminate a tackle in the game that we don’t want in the game for valid reasons you have to put in a penalty that is enough of a deterrent that people don’t want to do it,” he said.
