I'm with you Horse. I love and miss Canberra and hope to get back there some day soon. I've got to admit though the beautiful weather up here at the moment is easing my pain. But come October, this place will turn back into a sweat box hell hole for another long six months :( :lol: soft No softer t...

http://www.avatarsplus.com/d/13992-1/988-violin.gif You can violyn me all you like GE, I'm not asking for sympathy. Look at Mal and Locky's (or most of the players) post match interview last night - rare team, great spirit, play for each other, success breeds stability etc. Class acts both of them....

Greenbits... Queenslanders weren't saying Origin was dead when NSW was going for a fourth series win... it was all the arrogant NSW supporters! NSW is always arrogant like this... "oh, we win too much, so we're not interested". Queensland loses and it just redoubles its efforts to win and...

Dr Zaius

Greenbits, an honest question: if Johns did call Inglis a black **** - which you've agreed is a racist comment - why is he not racist? What I am asking is what does someone have to do to be called racist (as different to just labelling what he said as racist)? Obviously, a Pauline Hanson or Nick Gr...

Dr Zaius

Would like to see Sterlo or Gus. Realistically, if you were a coach would you be putting your hand up for this?

tbh i think comments like "I really don't think he plays up to the level achieved last night every week" are absolutely hilarious He had a stormer of a game last night, but to expect him to play to that level week in and week out is ridiculous. Lockyer doesnt play up to the level he plays...

Got to say I prefer it to the Footy Show. They've trimmed fown the stupid skits, and I suspect have actual writers for some of them. Have some good talk in Controversy Corner and much less cringe moments than the Footy Show.

Ready for a Maroon-wash in game III NSW fans? How O'Donnell only got three weeks is beyond me, and no charge for a headbut! This is ridiculous and dangerous, head buts MUST come with a suspension and the judiciary needs to be instructed it is not good enough. Not being a smartass, but asking a seri...

You've won the series and will almost certainly get the clean sweep. I can't understand why you wouldn't want to see a contest.

In the traditional QLD sense of north of Newcastle and south of the Tweed, then yes, he is a QLDer.

(He is from Forster region)

Dr Zaius

Another classic performance from QLD, they truly are one of the greatest rugby league teams ever assembled. Lockyer is a living/playing legend. Can't fault this post really. Shame how the game ended. NSW didn't deserve to score. Should have been a record win. So that's the end of Bellamy, and I thi...

Dr Zaius

Harry Hardman is a classic.

Dr Zaius

Beau Scott did play well, but he was trying to niggle Inglis, and that's just stupid. Inglis is one of those people who is better than anyone who tries to stop him - your only hope is that he doesn't inject himself. When you p*ss him off, he'll get involved, and when he's involved he is better than...

All I can say is don't cover your head and cower in fear whenever the ball is kicked over ankle height as I used to do.

Occurred to me it wasn't the best choice of words after I posted it. Its the name of a game I played as a kid. I guess the term could be offensive to some. Does that make me a racist?

Dr Zaius

I think its really disappointing that that article went to print. The allegations in it will ruin this man. You would think if you went public with such an article, you would have a credible source, not Chinese whispers. If the allegations are untrue, Johns will be well within his rights to sue the ...

Dr Zaius

Was his comment racist? Yes Was it unacceptable? Yes Does this make him a racist? No. I don't follow this. If you say things like that, especially when guards are down, doesn't it say something about the deeply ingrained views? I can't say I would ever call anyone a **** in any context. Let alone w...

Dr Zaius

Incidentally, Johns isn't out there alone on the recreational drugs issue. Everywhere you look you see Dellevision. I've also heard rumours of other prominant (non-Raiders) players that like to indulge (not that that changes what Johns did).

Dr Zaius

Greenbits... you are correct, and if there is a contract, the usual procedures should be followed etc etc. But this guy has already admitted he played while on substances banned by the NRL, and he avoided detection and no action was ever taken against Johns, despite the admission. It is why I was n...

Dr Zaius

Getting back to the original post, my question is "why"? Surely the Raiders should terminate any arrangement that they have with Johns. Hopefully the club is waiting for the full story. Apparantly they don't believe in trial by media. Johns has admitted he said at least some of this stuff...

Alleged details emerge of Andrew Johns' racial slur against Timana Tahu By Wayne Heming So this journalist is reporting that an Elder heard that one of Tahu's family heard from Timana that Johns said other racist things. So the source is what third or fourth hand? Not much better than some of the r...

Dr Zaius

This 30 Years of Origin show is a good watch.

Seeing the footage of "Queensland's worst ever team" put together two arsey wins and somehow stop a NSW fourpeat gives me hope that NSW's worst ever team can do something similar.

EDIT: The Rabs segment dragged it down a bit.

Dr Zaius

I can't believe someone would be so openly boganist. It's 2010, LG, we don't say stuff like that any more (obviously, Nick does to his bogan mate who finds it funny that we cultured people think that's it's offensive to use the word 'bogan' but this isn't really reflective of the wider bogan commun...

The Central Coast's team got canned and we're still the strongest rugby league region on the planet, despite having a reasonably strong soccer team here. I mean, I knew the Raiders struggled for support, but I didn't realise that rugby league was doing so badly down there. Sad, really. Where have I...

Dr Zaius

I'm not sure how dismantling the only NRL in southern NSW and essentially relinquishing the area to union and AFL is good for the game. Wow, so if the Raiders folded or relocated, the people of Canberra would immediately start following AFL, a sport that doesn't even have a major team in the region...

Dr Zaius

turbodewd is of course correct. Just because there are poor public transport links between Gosford and Brookvale Oval means nothing. Central Coast will come into the competition, I have no doubt, but it won't be the correct decision. We need new markets that will deliver TV dollars and we need big ...

I've been saying this for a while now. However, I'm pretty sure Jimbo was around in the Question era named Kiwi Jim. Maybe Jimbo is Question's Kiwi brother, or cuz.

Seems like the only ones who want this relationshop is Souths Logan and the Raiders.

Like I suggested before, register Souths Logan in the NSW Cup and piss off both the QRL and NSWRL.

- Was what Johns said racist - Undoubtedly - Is Johns a racist - Can't really say, I don't know the guy. The fact that this thread is 3 pages of discussion on whether or not referring to someone as a black **** is rascist is sad to be honest. The apparent need to have this discussion in this day and...

I would sign Noddy for a year, would offer so much to our young team. Then in 2012 Sam Williams should be ready for first grade, presuming he is still here. Would Noddy come here? Probably not but its nice to think about Agree with this plan going forward. As nice a bloke as McCrone is and as hard ...
