And if it ever is an unprovoked attack, I just liken it to an RL player beating up his girlfriend.
Is this not the "Rugby League is crap" thread???
We are here to bag the game.....you love the game so much go to the fanboi thread elsewhere.

Parksey just likes taking the contrarian view
no one could actually hold the positions he does if he were to actually take a considered look at the facts
this.
plus parksey wasnt in the war,shame really.
Would never have guessed.
IT was the Sunday afternoon meat raffles at a little suburban bowling club that cowards Ryker Jennar and Joel Barton decided was the right place for their latest armed holdup.
Barton was once a promising footballer, playing in curtain-raisers for State of Origin with the likes of Jarryd Hayne and juniors with Newcastle Knights and Cronulla Sharks before his career went pear-shaped. nh
Cant help but feel this Rise for Alex weekend is just a huge money making ploy by NRL.
They are "kindly donating" $1 from every ticket sold to this foundation.
Think about just the newcastle game, knight averaging say 15,000 per game so far (could be wrong, thats purely a guess) with this weekend they are probably going to get close to 30,000. Tickets for the games 35-60 bucks?
So they will get double the amount of people with high ticket prices and donate just $1 from each.
So instead of getting 15,000 at 35-60 bucks a ticket, they are going to get 30,000 at 34-59 bucks a ticket.
They are going to make alot of money this weekend!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Its a donation because apart from the knights, the NRL would not be getting any take of club gate takings, so clubs will still be taking in the 35-60 bucks a ticket.
I think they are overdoing it now - hope they don't make this an annual event.
what.. just.. happened
PS out of curiosity who are all those players? I know Minichello but who are the other ones and what teams are they representing?
OK
St George guy (4th from left) is Gareth Widdop
Manly guy (2nd along) is Keiran Foran.
I think.
And I think there is a canberra raider

On phone sorry.
seriously, buy a ****ing clue pal.
hate on the game all you want but people trying to do something nice for someone who may never walk again should not be shit on.
yeah, quadriplegics are soooooooo last year.
So let me get this right
The Knights Have 1 player in Jail
The Knights Have 1 player in a Mental Institute
The Knights have another bloke crippled
The Knights Have a Coach who is highly successful Unable to get them to win
The Knights have a Coach who has never walked away from Anything in his life Quitting On Them
The Knights Have a team who are floundering in the bottom of the ladder
FFS We should be thankful Tinks Gave us Middleby and not Gidley
On another note can someone explain how Gidley was appointed CEO under Tinklers stewardship of the Knights yet now Tinks has departed still has a job??
Its not like he is a highly qualified candidate for the role of CEO as his working life before getting the gig involved running around with 12 other druggos rapists dog molesters etc each weekend
I guess because he is an employee of the club and not the owner and the new owner hasn't come in yet to put his own man in there.
He might have an MBA. They are available to purchase from all Universities via Cheque, cash, EFTPOS, or credit card.
Best of all, you don't need any level of intelligence to qualify.
Wouldn't he be an employee of HSG rather than the Knights seeing as he was Tinks and Palmers puppet appointment??
I'm pretty sure he has a masters in business and with his long time involvement (esp if he formed a good network of contacts whilst playing) he's probably plenty qualified for the role. I think the NRL introduced minimum standards to ensure token appointments weren't made.
Wonder if the Double-Eff-Aye has similar standards? (Not being silly I'm actually quite interested).
And yes I know pieces of paper on the wall don't mean shit to a lot of people, but the general word is that he's quite competent at the job.
Paul Harragon though I'm not so sure.......
