Sydney Roosters Hooker Jake Friend was charged with high range drink driving a few days ago. As a “P Plater” he shouldnt have had any alcohol in his system at all. As a result the Sydney Roosters fined him $10,000 but chose not to suspend him. Now, a $10,000 fine for Jake Friend is huge….
The Manly Sea Eagles obviously live in a glass bubble, thats the only conclusion you can come to when you hear that they are pissed off about the handling of the Brett Stewart affair. So upset are the players that they have threatened to boycott the end of season Dally M Awards. So, lets think…
If you are wondering why the NRL took until Wednesday to ban Brett Stewart for the first five rounds of the competition, just look at the Manly Sea Eagles board. The NRL gave the Sea Eagles every opportunity to do they right thing. They allowed them time to meet, twice, they even contacted Manly and…
Well the Cronulla Sharks now longer have to deal with Greg Bird and the mess he has created. Both parties have agreed to a buyout of Birds contract that that will see Bird released from his Sharks contract on the proviso that he plays for not other NRL club in 2009. This will most likely…
Well the Broncos have found themselves in the shit again, this time after halfback peter Wallace was arrested at a pub. You have to wonder what it will take for some of these players to realise they have to pull their heads in. I’ve come to the point where I think maybe we need set…
Its funny how some players and the people around them believe they have zero accountability for their own actions. Facing numerous charges and a restraining order against his girl friend, Greg Bird has flown to the United States (Where his girlfrend lives) and friend have said that he now wants to join the Sydney Roosters….
The Sydney Roosters have announced today that they will no longer field under 16’s or under 18’s teams in a move they have claimed is aimed at cutting costs. The Roosters have claimed that they will still offer selected junior players scholarships and will recruit players from other clubs at an older age. This is…
By now you have probably heard the news that on a night out, three Brisbane Broncos players, alleged to be Karmichael Hunt, Sam Thaiday and Darius Boyd, were in the mens toilets in a pub three waying a girl who has claimed assault against the three players. Its been alleged that everything was fine and…
Greg Bird is alleged to have smashed his girlfriend in the face with a glass, fracturing her eye socket and leading to an eye injury that could see he lose sight in her eye. After allegedly doing this to his girlfriend, he then started to cover his arse, calling a mate and asking him to…
The Canberra Raiders have sacked Todd Carney for being a serial dickhead and the NRL has said he will not be able to play for any other NRL team until the 2010 season. Thank god, its about bloody time! It seems as though the game has been on a bit of a cleansing recently, getting…
“I was offered double what I’m on at Canterbury to go somewhere else and I stayed because I wanted to stay loyal to the club and keep the boys around, but to see him leave like that …” “It’s tough because he was a player that I really did look up to and for him…
This pretty much sums up Super League this move… The Huddersfield Giants have signed St George/Illawarra Tampons coach Nathan Brown to a three year deal. Brown, who’s long reign at the St George/Illawarra has been nothing short of a tragic mess, has shown nothing at all to suggest that he would be a good coach…
When the sole purpose of a club seems to be to draw attention to itself by being a circus act or a punch line in a joke, then you know it doesn’t belong in Super League. Sure, I’ve been critical of clubs in the UK before for being complete and utter shit, but with Castleford,…
Rugby League has a history of clubs messing about with some cheap and tacky stunts, but at the end of the day the vast majority are harmless, quickly forgotten and in some rare cases, even fondly remembered for their “out there” ideas. In signing former sprinter and convicted drug cheat Dwayne Chambers, the Castleford Tigers…
Tim Smith has been seen boozing it up once more with team mates late on Saturday night, despite being banned from Alcohol, after being banned from Alcohol, after being banned from Alcohol! Smith, who has had more chances in the last six months than Keiron Cunningham has had hot meals, is currently under a fictional…
You knew this was coming… The Parramatta Eels have lifted their ban (Ban? What was he banned from?) on drunken idiot Tim Smith and have listed a number of conditions he must stick to including rehabilitation, charity work and other very vague things. Thing is, Smith was already supposed to be doing all of these…
Serial dickhead Tim Smith is all but assured of having his Parramatta contract torn up after being caught drinking just days after being banned for drinking by the clubs after a drunken tirade aimed at a family. Smith has had a number of alleged drunken episodes and has promised to stop drinking a number of…
I wasn’t shocked when I heard the allegations about Craig Gowers behavior in a King Cross night club on Saturday night. Let me take you back to 1999 when Gower was kicked out of the Australian Rugby League team after exposing himself to an Irish Tourist at a Coogee Bay Hotel. The powers that be at…
Look, I’m a fan of Russell Crowe and what he wants to do at South Sydney. While most try hard want to be celebs go to one Souths game every ten years and then feed of it for the rest of their lives like they are a loyal fan, Crowe actually attends as many games…
Keith Galloway has accept John Hopoate’s apology over this vicious attacking…..and thats the problem with the game today. Hopoate has spent nearly an entire season on the sidelines because of suspension. He has brought the game into disrepute more times then any other player I have seen in my lifetimes. Even in places like Victoria,…
The Sydney Roosters threat to challenge the NRL on the Salary Cap under the Trade Practices act is the second most disgraceful act by a Rugby League club since the Brisbane Broncos decision to help build Super League. Coming off of a golden era for the club, the Roosters have played in three NRL Grand…
