I think we should all ease up on carney.
I've heard he lost his balance and fell forward with his mouth open.
And that all was actually trying to do is get rid of the taste of VB from his mouth
#BREAKING Reports that @NRLKnights coach Wayne Bennett has quit. No confirmation yet, we'll have more as it comes

Darius Boyd on fire here, I somewhat sympathize with sports players being hassled by the press but this reporter was polite and asked a simple question, would've only taken all but 60 seconds and Body carries on like a jerk.
he's always like that with the media
Exactly, she knew what she was gonna get.Quote:

I think there's a time and a place. That's all. And yes he could have acted a bit nicer (I don't necessarily think he was rude) but that's on him, and will prob cost him a post career job in the media but he might not give a shit.
As for the money from media, correct but money also comes from beer and bookies and the players are crucified if they indulge in those sponsors products.
Clubs have scheduled interview times and media managers for a reason. Door stopping the bloke was a bit amateurish in my opinion.
Can't wait for Gillard, Hansen-Young and Wong to start up about how much of a mysognist he is.
Yes.Quote:

Of the subject of rugby has come up over here in South America people think of Rugby Union not these dumb ****s
Irrelevant game for islanders who can't get a game in union
I've been in England SOO time and really, you have to search for news and results, even today. I'm sure it appears on pay TV somewhere but it is not in the newspapers or general news and sport reports.Quote:

One of the great turnoffs of SOO now is that we constantly hear about how big it is - the "greatest" game watched by millions around the world. RL has an inferiority complex and I can tell you now that 90% of RL fans who bag football do so out of envy of it's global appeal, but outside two states of Australia RL really does mean nothing. They even hate it when people interstate refer to it as "rugby".
In the 80's SOO was a different monster - it didn't matter who was watching outside the two states and it was personal between everyone in NSW and Wally Lewis. They were great games - with great characters (who can ever forget Sam Backo saying f*** in an interview and Mal Meninga calling NSW c**** before kickoff?) and true skills. That has all gone from rugby league now and it is a pale, beige imitation of what it once was. Everybody looks the same and they learn how to "count to six then have a kick".
And the rule changes !!! If it is such a great sport you wouldn't need to tamper with it .
Geez Louise you blokes.
When I lived and worked in England we used to open the pub early mornings for SOO and Grand Finals. Place was always packed.
Hold shit amazing that it's not big news in Argentina Member. You could get a job with Today/Tonight with such bombshells.
Whatever you personally think of it, there are a lot of mongs out there who dig it. To say it's irrelevant outside if Aust is like saying get rid of the A-League cause no one cares outside of Aus either.
Let the mongs have their game, gives us something to be elitist about.
Forgive my ignorance but what does SOO stand for?
If this isn't a windup ( :rof: ) it stands for State Of OriginQuote:

Facts are people are losing interest in it
Add in the arrogance of the clowns who support it who put shit on my game yet have little idea how irrelevant and retarded their shit sport is. FFS find a kid who is 110kg 6ft 4tall who has never played the game at 16 and you could turn them into an NRL player as soon as they can stomach swallowing their own urine and dog semen.
Try turning a 16yer old kid into a footballer and the only place who would employ him is the Jets FFS
:rof: at how true this possibly is. I've played 2 competitive days of rugby league in my life, both for school. One was a one-off knockout game, the other was a seven-a-side tournament at Newcastle Uni. I was voted man of the match in the knockout game, and the refs voted 3,2,1 in the sevens day and I was coming 2nd overall in the whole tournament before we got knocked out, and had multiple people in Knights officials gear talk to my teacher about me :rof:Quote:

Not necessarily soQuote:

Well I'm not one to dispute your facts, but from my info I'd dispute part of that.Quote:

You talk about the 'people putting shit on your game' then you just turned into one those exact types of people (two wrongs don't make a right Member).
I personally don't like the game, but who cares if people do?
Gods and clods and all that y'know.
yeah mate you probs would have played for the blues had you just put on a few kilosQuote:

i actually feel privileged to have been born in a country that has such an array of popular/prominent sports to watch and play.
With shit dished up on modern TV in Australia there is little competition for ratings.Quote:

Reality is the only reason people watch the shit sport is the media shove it down their throats 24-7
If you live in Victoria you get tardball
If you live in NZ you get union
The ****s in the wide stream media are ****ing my game over by ignoring it to promote this shit sport
**** THEM
PS one great bonus of being in Sth America the last 6weeks is I have not had to watch see or hear sweet duck all about this insignificant sport
My head's on upside down and enjoy Ox testicles.

This thread has seen more action today than all other threads combined in the lsat 2 weeks.
Must be off season.
It is, but, you grew up in a privileged time and owe a fvk of a lot to those before you who played, promoted and fought to get the game of football up and running in a forever lost sea of condescending bogans. Sport didnt always coexist as nice as it does today.Quote:

Over the last 15 years the game has got its act together and deserves respect that it still does not get from the mainstream sporting media. Our side never started the war of words so I find it a bit rich that now we should all learn to get along.
Precisely RightQuote:
