Fitting. That 89 number killed so many great Balmain players.

In all honesty, a great player, great administrator and a sad loss for the rugby league community.

BTW I like how the 1989 Grand Final is now being shared and recognised amongst the players of both teams. Blocker, Elias, Pearce, Sirro, etc deserve recognition for the role they played and the hairs breadth they came from winning a well deserved premiership.

Just watched a replay of Face2Face with James Maloney.

MrsPJ says who’s that ?

I tell her it’s James Maloney, recently retired footy player.

She’s says he looks 60 EDIT.

I was at a game in Canberra where Hill copped a spear tackle and laid down for ages, raiders player possibly sent off, before jumping up and being near best on ground.

I might be wrong but as I recall, Ben ‘The Boss’ Cross got about 6 weeks in his final game for the raiders for dropping the most obvious knees into Tezza’s ribs after slagging off Canberra

Terry Hill was a legend. Funny guy, took the piss out of himself, and an exceptional footballer. Shone during the golden era of the Footy Show.

Paul Kent apparently in hospital with Broken ribs and possible collapsed lung

He is charged with affray. As was the other man earlier in the week.

The cringe level of the video was amazing. Only thing that could have made it better was if he was up against Buzz.

At 54, he needs to know better.
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.
