Sitting here on tenterhooks ready to watch the grand final, hoping that Manly wins to make it a perfect weekend after Geelongs great win yesterday.
Now for my winge - WHY re they singing the NZ national anthem, it is not a contest between two countries but the grand final of the NRL
Manly is playing the Auckland Warriors who are just another team in the NRL

Its because they usually sing the aussie anthem when 2 aussie teams play the final- this time its an international final - therefore 2 anthems.
I'm cheering ANY team other than Manly- go the mighty warriors !!!

Didn't they have the national anthem yesterday at the AFL? They were two Aussie teams. Today is one Aussie team and one NZ team so they would have both countries.

True Aussie arent you.
I have yet to meet anyone who can give me a logical reason for not liking Manly except for jealousy because they perceive that people that come from that area are all silvertails, which is all crap. OH! I come from working class Leichhardt

But my point is the Warriors are not representing NZ as such, they are just another team in the NRL

I know, but are they going to play Aussie National Anthem for both, I can't see how that would work. Unless League has its own National Anthem to replace both of them.

Its traditional - Newcastle can't stand Manly, never have, never will.
Nothing to do with silvertails
The anthem- once NZ were invited into the comp it became international. It makes no sense to play one anthem just because we were here first and we "own" the comp. That's ridiculous.

It is a game in Australia between two teams in the Australian NRL, so only the Australian anthem needs to be played, as in all Australian sporting events

Watching it now - in Qld - no daylight saving so only 10 past 5 - good game - but prefer AFL myself - can't seem to get my head around this game up here - doesn't seem to make much sense to me, even tho I have it explained a few times - oh, well -

NRL GF???
Who cares .... No Broncos ...
Just watch the pro NSW bias ...
At least VFL had the gumption to change the name .... we still have NRL .. to me that is still Nsw RL.. Can't wait for the rugby league commission to break the parocial NSW domination of the game's administration.
Do I sound bitter!!!!! Of course I am. Won't barrack for Manly .. but can't support Kiwis.
Roll on State of Origin

what a cracka of a game, both teams played well i thought,,,,..
Thats ok Rip n Rosie I suppose poor losers would say something like that, trust me if the Warriors had won, I would have said "well done" we will be back next year
The Seven Dwarfs were marching through the forest one day they fell in a deep, dark ravine. Snow White, who was following along, peered over the edge of the steep chasm and called out to the fallen dwarfs. From the depths of the dark hole a voice returned, "The Warriors are grand final contenders."
Snow White thought to herself, "Thank God... at least Dopey's survived!"
