The NRL has announced that its has fined Warriors Forward Kane Evans $5,000 for writing “Fold some cunt” on his wrist tape in last weekends match. The writing was picked up by Fox Sports cameras as Evans sat on the bench and from there he was always going to be fined. You have to wonder…
It’s over. After many years that have seen many people within the game of Rugby League doing everything they could to try and help Todd Carney maintain a very high paying career as a professional athlete, it is finally time for Rugby League to wish Todd Carney all the best and leave him be. To…
Todd Carney once again finds his Rugby League career in tatters after yet another off field incident. The Cronulla Sharks decision to sack him, and the timing of his sacking (just one day before the June 30 deadline that allowed players to switch teams), makes it hard to see where Carney goes from here. I…
We are horrified! How embarrassing for Rugby League! What a disgrace! Let’s go and interview his family and friends! You have to love the Australian media sometimes. They love nothing more than to hoist their false outrage banners and go on crusades righting perceived wrongs. When some fmoron run onto the field last night, I…
Reports that the New Zealand Warriors were interested in signing Leeds Rhinos academy captain Jordan Baldwinson really upset Brian McDermott. The realization that the Leeds Rhinos are just a big fish in a small pond, and that NRL clubs will sign every single player they decide they want from Super League really hasn’t say well…
Its time for me to confront this issue. Sam Tomkins is not the most well liked player in the British game. For all of the accolades people throw in his direction, he still is not well liked at all by British Rugby League fans. Just recently the BBC’s George Riley wrote a piece titled Why boo…
After weeks of waiting for a good footy fix, the Four Nations is finally here! It has been interesting to see the way the four teams have approched the series in the last ten days. Australia has been quietly confident, but you get a sense of them brooding on that World Cup Final loss last…
Jamie Peacock has been watching the Cricket (You already know this is going to end badly) and he is pumped up! Like a retarded kid with ADD that just had three Red Bulls, he is bouncing off the walls. Now, society usually has a filter for people like Jamie Peacock, but unfortunately because of his…
He is lonely, he feels isolated, he feels homesick, he feels treated badly by his club, and now someone that is part of the Sonny Bill Williams “camp” has put feelers out to the Bulldogs on a possible return. This was always bound to happen at some point. As his merry band of idiots rushed him…
I’ve tried to avoid talking too much about Sonny Bill Williams because seriously, he is a stupid kid thats been easily led by users. There have been some interesting things I do want to mention though. Despite having a court order stopping him from playing Rugby Union, Dollar Bill Willaims has actually played his first game,…
In a recent article in The Guardian Online Rugby League reporter Andy Wilson wrote an article about England World Cup chances titled No reason to fear Folau and co. The article was typical of a lot of press thats coming out of the UK at the moment. With England having just beaten a French team thats was mostly…
He is the captain of the England Rugby League team and yet he talks like a 10 year old high on red cordial…..with a speech impediment. Thats what made Jamie Peacocks rallying call to English Rugby League so funny. Peacock told The Sun “Sometimes in this country we are too quick to put ourselves down,…
While not playing club football and having not been part of test calculations for a number of years, Paul Sculthrope took it upon himself to retire from the test arena. Incidentally I also announced my retirement from Test football soon after along with mickey mouse and the lock ness monster….a sad day indeed. Now it…
There is one rule in Rugby League that you should never, ever break… SHUT UP! You never, ever give any opposition a reason to fire up by talking yourself up before a game. It always ends in tears. So when NZRL chairman Andrew Chalmers this week game about the best ammunition I have ever seen…
