Someone said on the wireless "errr the judiciary contains a spiv, a snoozer and a chip". That shut them up

Indeed. Bobby Lindner said it was a heinous crime what Taylor committed. boxer

Round-shouldered (from the chips) Banjos are hilarious.

Aye, they aren't happy unless they are displaying their chip

That ex-player who does the sport on nein news up here (still ffs) was irate that he was even charged.

Thought he was going to have another siezure

I hope so. Why they bother to select the fragile thing and why the Broncos haven't cut him is beyond me. Hardly value for money.

Good news. Sounds as though Phil Gould is losing his voice. With a bit of luck he will be totally silent by Wednesday.

at least Souths lost to brighten my day! aces

Definately croaky. Could be a ruse to save Nein face on Wednesday and put a Qlder on the call team. Not that it bothers me. I normally listen on radio. As David Moreau get's that excited whenever anyone including a ballboy gets the ball in his hands the ABC's call can come across as unbiased and at times incomprehensible.. Thankfully he's got a good back-up team.

Ugh. The Drags have certainly suffered the usual fate of the Broncs at this time of year. Another 2 points dropped to the Knights. Sounds like they really missed Soward's organisational skills and goal kicking. Now down to 3rd after being 4 points clear 6 weeks ago.

And to top it off, the Maroons will probably smash the Blues midweek.

Chief has 0-4 this weekend and is right p!ssed.

Joel Edwards quickly gaining a reputation as one of the better hitmen in the competition.

by Bradman Sun 03 Jul 2011, 09:03

WTF was Simmons doing with that chip kick. He could have dived at ground level and his momentum would've got him over. I was backing the Knights (reluctantly) but that was just downright stupid.

Pretty good hit wasn't it? I think they deserved possesion for the hit alone.

anti-Souths tipping policy paid off. 1-3 for me clown

by skully Sun 03 Jul 2011, 09:53

I don't go in these things as a rule (although did last year because it was my work comp and the Chief wanted to go in it, so I reluctantly joined). The Chief asked me what I thought after she'd entered her tips. I didn't agree with her picking the Dogs, Eels or Drags. But what would I know? shrug

So was the media exposure the bookie who paid out a month ago on the Drags winning the minor premiership worth the double payout they'll have to make when the Drags don't win it?

It's not so much media exposure as a way of allowing them to legally accept no more bets on the Drags. Some actuary crunched the numbers and worked out this was their best possible result I spose.

It's hardly a record. I think a bookie paid out on AFL wooden spooners after round 4.

Phurt. No way is he better than Lewis or Daley.

by skully Mon 04 Jul 2011, 03:53

Agreed.

by Bradman Mon 04 Jul 2011, 03:55

Maybe not Lewis, agreed.

Locky's certainly not as good as Lewis but at least as good as Daley and better than Fittler.

My problem with Fittler (apart from being a farkwit) is there was always a spot for him. So second row, lock, centre, 5/8. The ARL (read NSWRL) just needed their brain dead wanker somewhere on the representative field. Quite often to their cost with an OAP making a 12000 mile dash to make a fool of him.

Kimmorley said "(But) I think he's become probably the best five-eighth in the game over the last 20 years."

Wally retired from SoO in 1991 and last played for Gold Coast in 1992

So he isnt comparing him to the King ...

by Paul Keating Mon 04 Jul 2011, 05:20

No he is not. But the queue of people that stretches around the block are claiming Darren is in the top 3 players of all time, which means they think he is better than the King.

by skully Mon 04 Jul 2011, 05:34

Great player, Locky. Congrats on a great career. May your SoO finale be a dud. Cool

Why? They could only think that if they were claiming he was the best player of all time. He might make a top five though.
