<p>And despite all the shit that the Eels have done this year (and if the rumours of paper bags in teh carpark are true, it's worse than reported), it looks like the NRL might actually let them sign Hayne to play, THIS YEAR. What a fucking joke. </p>

<p>To be fair, I didn't comment much beside a full stop.</p>

<p>Which was probably too subtle on a Tuesday</p> -

"For once, take some f***ing responsibility around here. You are the chairman. You like to walk around and say you're the chairman. Well start acting like it and stop making it my problem because, you know what? I didn't sign it either. I didn't make any of those agreements, but I'm the poor prick that has to fix them. It's bullshit." -
At least Hayne can see the humour:<br><br><blockquote class="ipsBlockquote"><p>
A friendly sledging exchange with Wallabies friend Quade Cooper escalated on Tuesday morning when Hayne challenged the failed Australian Sevens star to join him at a trial with the Western Sydney Wanderers A-League club.</p></blockquote> -

<p>Fuck it, Manly March downfield after charging down a warriors FG attempt from close range and DCE takes the chocs</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I can't think of a player I hate more in the NRL than DCE. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Such a wasted opportunity that game today. They showed a heap of heart in coming back from an early deficit against a Manly team who performed pretty well (were 22 from 22 in completion rates at one point), bu undid themselves with stupid mistakes. Solomone Kata pulling the Manly players leg and incurring the penalty close to the posts, Ayshford missing two relatively straight forward tackles to let in tries and Sam Lisione going for a drop goal being the first few that come to mind.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope that 2 points doesn't come back to bite us in the end</p> -

<p>It is actually a genuine surprise when one is interviewed and doesn't say "Mate" every second word. I met Mark Gasnier once, really nice joker, no surprise he actually went and saw the world instead of staying in Sydney. I was also genuinely surprised that Sam Thaiday is a really well spoken dude, he was on one of those crappy celebrity cooking shows a year or so back.</p>

<p>Some of the rest are feral as fucken anything though.....</p> -
Sharks up 16-10 at half time against the Roosters.<br><br>
Something just struck me, do the Sharks develop any of their own grubs, or do they always just buy the fullas from other clubs with grub potential and train them up to become grubs if the highest order? -
<p>Clubs starting to sniff around Tui Lolohea, and he might have his head turned, because our coach is a fucking idiot who doesn't play him. </p>
-
<p>As I was in NZ this weekend I listened to a bit of Radiosport, FFS that station is basically the media arm of the Warriors. All day they had interviews that were basically just justifications for not playing Tui, from the coach to Doyle to former players.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tui is on a 3 year contract but that doesn't really mean squat if your coach doesn't want to play you.</p> -
So how are they spinning the justification?

<p>Big wingers to cart the ball up, always going to introduce in the last 20 minutes, but big wingers to cart the ball up, underpowered forward pack so need big wingers to cart the ball up, they couldn't find a spot for him, they brought him on eventually, he'll be playing 6 next year so fine to leave him on bench this year, other clubs leave players on the bench. Rinse. Repeat.</p> -
<p>Fucking bullshit. The Warriors aren't rich enough in talent to leave a player of his ability watching games for long periods. Find a spot. </p>
