NRL Finals 2017: Who to support if your team is eliminated

• Matt Bun

1. Parramatta Eels

Which leaves us with only one logical choice. The Eels have been the feel-good story of the year, and have finished in the top four for the first time since 2005. Their last finals appearance was that magical run in 2009, which of course ended in a grand final loss to the Storm after Jarryd Hayne had spent a month playing the best footy of his career. It's been 31 years since their last title, and no team has gone longer without a preliminary final appearance than the blue and golds.

Easy decision: The Parramatta Eels are the logical choice as the bandwagon team of the 2017 NRL finals. Photo: AAP

It's been a rough few years for the Eels and their long-suffering fans, but 2017 just might be their year – and few would begrudge them success.

Few would begrudge them? I bloody well would!

You can tell this was written by a Parra fan because they seem to hate anybody who has had any sort of success.

My main concern though is that it could form part of Archer's "tip sheets" for the finals...

I never thought my derision of Cronulla would ever be overtaken, however the Eels have well & truly done that!! I cannot stand anything Cronulla & now more so Parramatta. Both teams full of grubs & both clubs unequivocally cheats! How anyone can possibly say that Parramatta are the feelgood story of the year & begrudge them success is delusion at the highest level. What a f@#$%&g joke. The guy that wrote this article should be sacked immediately. Both he & that Kate McClymont moron should be tied up in a room & made to watch endless footage of Manly highlights until both are emotionally distraught............just saying

If we drop out,I am gone for the year,I don't even watch other games these days.

Drizzle,probably will play for it but I hope the big 3 get truly reamed and lose like last year,

Melbourne - Grub Smith & Grub Slater with King Grub Bellamy - still salary cap cheats & wrestling grubs
Rooters - NRL darlings - stole our Premiership in 2013
Boncos - Hated them since 1988 when they humiliated us at 44-10
What's the Matter - Hang on ... They were our feeder Club - still grubs
Cronulla - Too many grubs; Gallen Fafita etc - besides, 50 years wasn't enough for their sole silverware.
Cowgirls - Whinging Thurston still there
Penruff - C'mon Boys - Do a good job on them!

If Manly fail, GayFL or Netball maybe my only hope!

This blokes delusional, does he seriously think because his team are perennial losers fans from other clubs are going to think "Well, we've been knocked out, I think I'll support those ****sticks over at Parramatta"

Matt bun...........
What a giant of the sports journalistic world.
And a man of the people no less, who obviously has an uncanny ability to gauge the mood.
Another dummy who doesn't get what the word CHEAT means.
Hope he enjoys his lonely nights with images of Brad Arthur dancing through his empty head.

That type of article shows how little the league media understands how fans think.

When Willy mason said "some of the boys love a bun" after the Canterbury Coffs Harbour atrocity, was he referring to this journo Matt Bun?

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I would fight Bun's assertions face to face.

It would be a bunfight.

What an unfortunate name. And typical of the depths the slowly expiring SMH is now plundering to fill up column space.

Never in a million years would I support the whinging worms, I support Manly and who ever plays them!!! If we do not progress this year, I will support a Sydney based team other than the worms, If we have the nightmare scenario of a News limited derby or the worms slime into the big day I will take a 24-hour sleeping pill lol

 

[ricardo]

I supported them against the Boncos... man I hate that team/coach/culture/supporters/Friday night broadcasting rights/2headedness/rumncokeisblackchampagne

 

[globaleagle]

toddy made him write it.



*allegedly

 

[niccipops]

Support the worms? Few could begrudge them? Lolololololol
Comedy article of the year.
Give Mr. Bun an award.
Maybe he'll cream.......
Apologies for my mind.😛

I prefer Fru T. Bunn from viz.

[Fibro Eagle]

I'm Manly
If we are out I don't support anyone else
I guess that is the mentality of other teams supporters that when your team is out you go for someone else's team and for this Bun bloke the lack of success makes him think like that

This may upset a few here but I've never held the hate for parra others have. Storm, Broncs, cows come in way ahead of parra for mine. Maybe it's because I only started following manly in 1990 and didn't have the historical context to hate them. When I started watching Winfield cup parra sucked!

 

[Woodsie]

If Manly fail, GayFL or Netball maybe my only hope!

The women's soccer is outstanding, watching the "GayFL" will only get you accused of homophobia by the guardians of PC. Remember the first casualty of leaning left is a sense of humour.

 

[HoldenV8]

This just about sums it up.....

Sames... I dont like parra, but i dont hate them nearly as much as i hate storm and knights... Being a 14 year old manly fan living in newcastle in 97 was absolutely horrible, and have hated the knights with a passion ever since.. Melb are cheating scum, that train ride home from the 07 gf was one of the worst rides ever... Dont think my hate for parra even comes close
