It was only a swinging arm, and the geezer fell into it. Six weeks.

Toronto have been running a reality programme called 'Last Tackle' looking for new players, and the eighteen finalists beat Brighouse Rangers 28-26. Brighouse are some way down the amateur rankings, but that is pretty good for a bunch of Americans with shit names and barely any experience playing on the worst surface they must have ever seen. Trans-Atlantic sport.
Is George North going to drop dead in his 40's?
I watched that Concussion film the other day, and then did some reading about it: lol at the amount of brain trauma them lads are putting themselves through.
Jarrod Mullen done for old school steroids. Shame his last name isn't Gallen because his career is over now.
The Newcastle test-dodging procedures are obviously not what they once were (speaking of which, seeing as James Roberts is being investigated for pulling some bird's hair, how many games would somebody like Andrew Johns not be suspended for these days?). Elsewhere, away from shambles clubs, Toronto play their FIRST EVER MATCH on Sunday against Hull, and I'm tempted to go.
Joey would have been able to use a new born babies blood. They need to kick James Roberts our of the game now. He has a massive reputation in Brisbane for this stuff.
Definitely go and report back!
Even with the league press desperate to blow everything up, does half the idiocy still not make the papers?
Never does because Broncos are protected in Brisbane.
I reckon they have something on Roberts and the evidence is being withheld so they settle out of court.
Jonathan Thurston has or used to at least have a grubby reputation when out on the town.
Lockyer was a big time ecstasy user and sex pest in the first part of his career.
And Ben Barba has re-signed with the Sharks.
Yay Australian Rugby League!
Those Thailand rehab clinics could probably field a decent thirteen. You could run a parallel Origin series against a domestic abusers select for charity.
AFL is running the WAFL this year, the A-Leage has had the W-League for years and Rugby Union is promoting women 7's to the point where it will go head to head with netball over the next few years.
Australuan Rugby League is a place where wife beaters can get infinite chances to pull big pay checks.
May have oversimplified the fuck out it
Toulon are basing themselves at my local Rugby Club for the Global Tens. : drool:
Brisbane have signed Korbin Sims, which I think leaves Newcastle with no decent senior players. Look at their 2001 Grand Final line-up and weep.
Good signing that and he is the QLD Sims as well I think?
Apparently Ben Hunt has signed with the Dragons for a bazillion dollars... Lol lol lol lol
That should give St. George one of the better halves combinations, so it's just a shame about the rest of the side.
'Josh, pa... Pass it, Josh. Pass...'
*runs two hundred meters and does nothing*
I'm going Canberra this year, because I saw a picture of Dave Taylor looking lean the other day, so Ricky Stuart is obviously a genius.
In even more unbelievable news than Dave Taylor losing weight, Geoff Toovey is going to coach the new Bradford side (replacing Bradford Bulls who were liquidated the other week). He'll have an aneurysm by round four the way those Championship referees fuck everything up.
Oh, and Todd Carney has signed for Salford.
Piss mouth is wanted by Salford after being snubbed by all NRL clubs. Surely he won't get a visa?
Robert Lui got one. Jesus, what a halves combination that is.
'You won't be the biggest cunt here.'
'Where do I sign?'
Ricky Stuart could scare my scalp into growing hair so I'm not surprised to hear that waste of talent is finally getting into shape.
The Broncos and NRL can fuck off again after Teflon Roberts is given another chance.
*clutches pearls*
I don't why that one shocked me to be honest. I just assumed they would finally do the right thing.
lol, he's related to Anthony Mundine. Does every idiot in the game have some connection to him?
I know the Indigenous family structure is different to ours but I'm not sure which system the media use when referencing cousins.
It's probably like the Samoan wrestling system where everybody is related to the Rock.
'Before you sign. Greg Inglis.'
'Oh, he's my cou...'
*shown the door*
So, yeah...

This feels like it's genuinely our year (for top 3, lol). Where's Townsend_Son gone ffs?
Those comments are brilliant.
David Campese-esque. If we do the Grand Slam again.
Ben Barba is going to be truly awful playing for Toulon.
I reckon he would have taken to union about five years ago when he was really explosive, but this sounds like a timewaste until his NRL ban is up.
I'm relieved that residency rule has gone up from 3 years to 5 years. Sefa's cap this year could not have been more embarrassing yuk
I must have missed these 'bonus points' coming in. Has anything ever been decided on them, and how did the fans react? I would be seething if I lost something because whatever the rugby equivalent of an Arsenal fan is thought we had let Good Rugby down.
Would it be possible to do the grand slam but be pipped by a team who wins all their other games heavily, whilst you sneak them all? That'd be good.
You can already see the provincials lining up to take a fisting off whoever is needed to beat you know who.
Think about that for a second.
I mean you win all your games by a point (grand slam) but someone else wins 4 with (a) bonus point(s) in each game.
I have no idea how many points you get for winning a game of rugger.
So yeah.
Team A wins 5 matches by a small margin, not scoring 4 tries. 4 points per win. 20 points.
Team B wins 4 matches heavily, and loses 1 marginally. 4 points per win, 4 winning bonus points, 1 losing bonus point. 21 points.
Edit: Team B could actually end up with 2 losing BPs but Team A would most likely get one too in those circumstances.
You get bonus points for winning all five.
Ah, I see.
Proper rugby is back next week and I've got [dodgy] Sky Sports back. Can't wait.
Any players over from Oz I should look out for?
I'm a twit
Greg Bird is the biggest name coming over, but Catalans are perma-crap, so meh. I'm tempted to go for Castleford this year, but they will inevitably be rolling with a dozen injuries at all times, which means anyone but fucking Wigan.
Oh, and lol at Rovers expecting me to pay twenty quid (twenty-three on the door) to watch them in the Championship. Everyone will soon forget PULLING TOGETHER when Batley are the opposition and attendances plummet.
Fairly impressive economy of effort by Fiji against France in the first half of the sevens there. I think they had the ball for about 15 seconds, completed 2 passes and led 14-0 at the break.
Manly re-naming Brookvale Oval to 'Lottoland' is probably crapper than what Saints did, although the puritans are already out in force (Australia really does seem to be the home of the interfering mimsy these days), so it might end up growing on me if people keep the seething up all year. Plus I suppose keeping that shitheap viable is one in the eye for those idiots who want to force everyone to operate out of the same three stadiums.
'Can't get a latte at Belmore, mate.'
Toulon are giving Ben Barba a million a year. Who negotiated that?
Well this is a fucking terrible start.
