Will NRL let Panthers Win?

The Broncos gave the Bulldogs a hiding last week and Eels were robbed against the Sharks by disgraceful refereeing and bunker decisions. It seems obvious the NRL might just give Panthers a hand against the Broncos at suncorp to get them off the bottom of the NRL ladder! Maybe 🤔 I might be wrong! At this stage Panthers lead 20-8 almost half time! If wrong I'll delete!

  • Master class from cleary. Took a huge hit in his stride and then good 40/20 which changed the game. Two quick tries, including one from cleary fooling the entire sliding right side defence of broncos. Nah no conspiracy here. We just had a video ref that is either really bad at his job or on the take. It sucks for us.

  • Nah Penrith were great and Brisbane rubbish

    • Nah, NRL was behind it as always! 

  • Penrith were good today. Cleary killed them. Brisbane were diabolical. 

  • Cleary showed why he's a few notch's above the rest.  He can stand up in the big ones when it counts . Obviously he's been struggling a bit adjusting to not having his usual very very good halves partner , but he is no flat track bully and the big stage is where he thrives.  When Penrith sort out their 5/8 issue Cleary can still steer them to another GF .  Hopefully once Browns gone Moses can go to the level of being able to drag our arses home on his back against better teams than the Tigers.

     I have been watching Rugby League for 40 years, and your theory has me confused.  Please explain to me why the NRL would want the Panthers off the bottom of the ladder? Also,  why would the NRL choose to give a leg up to the Sharks over the Eels? Can you also explain why the NRL would do this during one of there biggest rounds of the season?  I'm surprised you didn't suggest that the NRL paid the Dragons player to drop the ball over the try line as they wanted the Tigers to win. 

     If you use a little bit of logic,  the NRL would want a club like Parramatta to go deep into the final series regularly. If the NRL was to select their ideal top 8, the Eels and the Broncos would definitely be above the Sharks and the Panthers. 

    • If you can't figure out that the NRL isn't corrupt after 40yrs then I'm afraid you never will. Yes, I still occasionally watch the games and watch the Eels as I have for over 40 yrs but I'm not blind to the fact that Rugby League will never be as good as it once was or as honest as it was just like this nation. Anyone who thinks games aren't tainted by even the mildest corruption is surely extremely naive. However, you go on believing what you want if it makes you happy
