Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 3028354, member: 8315"] Malcolm Knox wrote a very funny article at the start of the year. Here's what he predicted about the NRL: - RUGBY LEAGUE Or, as we know it, the year of the groundhog. The Roosters and Storm contest their second straight grand final. Both clubs are the top two all year, after most of their main rivals implode during or soon after the off-season. Both Melbourne and Sydney lose a handful of unremembered games during the Origin period to produce the illusion that the competition is even. The NRL declares this ‘our most even season ever’. New South Wales win Origin for the second straight year, prompting Queensland to threaten to discontinue the ‘tired concept’ unless it is allowed to extend its border south of Taree. And build a wall. And make New South Wales pay for it. Various bad things happen off the field. Nobody likes The Bunker. One club near the bottom of the table (ie not the Roosters, Brisbane or Melbourne) is penalised for salary cap infringements. Todd Greenberg ages 10 years. Cameron Smith, who appears to have stolen the 10 years Greenberg lost, signs a new contract with the Storm and sets his sights on 500 NRL games. - Funny because it's true.
