@mariner4life now i feel like the guy that came last and still got an award...
Fafita ruined my MMT love affair to be honest. Everytime I watched Tonga I'd be happy they were doing so well and then he'd come into the play. It was a serious conflict for me. Hating Kidwell and Blair took up alot of my hate quota but I still had enough to actually be happy it was him who had the "loose carry".

@raznomore when Tonga played up here he copped a monumental amount of abuse from the Aussies in the crowd. Then promptly went on the field and played like shit. Dropped the ball, and gave away 4 straight penalties

This is fucken ridiculous
Totally beyond the pale. I hope the Barristers are taken to task for this irresponsible and unreasonable attack on a referee who cannot really defend himself.
They were the feel good story of the RLWC, but (some of) their fans are fuckwits.

Fifita didn't help, but the fans ruined it for me, well, the ones that carried on like dickheads anyway. A couple of my Tongan mates were actually pretty embarrassed by it all.
But yeah, hating Kidwell took up most of my mate. It almost reached Hammettuer levels (apologies @Chris-B if you alert went off), but it was the car crash I could see happening months out which kind of took the edge off I guess.

On the plus side, if Kidwell really has done a Hammett, then pretty much any of us should be able to coach them to a four nations victory next year.
Unfortunately, I fear the systems Kidwell has put in place - "the We is the Key" - might not quite be what's required.
(Well, you did purposely trigger my alarm!)

I always thought Kidwell was a bit over rated as a player as well ,
An average centre at the roosters , an ok second rower at the storm where he played his role ok , surrounded by great players ,
Then his big moment in the kiwi jersey was that tackle on Mason , but the reality was , it was an accidental head clash that dropped Mason , top of Kidwells head accidentally hit Masons on the cheekbone , his technique running into the tackle was actually horrible , thought he got way too much credit for something flukey .

Roosters Relocate Headquarters To Bermuda In Effort To Stay Under Salary Cap
“The trick is not to go and do dumb s--t like giving players boats and that like they did down in Melbourne,” he said.
**Roosters Relocate Headquarters To Bermuda In Effort To Stay Under Salary Cap** From Bondi to Bermuda, it’s a move that could shock the NRL to its core. The Sydney Roosters have announced that they are planning on relocating their headquarters to the small North Atlantic Island of Bermuda. It comes after the Sydney Roosters landed another big name signing in Angus Crichton and many in the sporting world were left wondering how long before the club came down in flames. Phillip Olivio who works as the Head of Accounting at the Roosters explained that this whole salary cap thing can be worked around with a little bit of smart bookkeeping. “The trick is not to go and do dumb shit like giving players boats and that like they did down in Melbourne,” he said. We asked Olivio whether the whole Parramatta Eels saga made then jump before they were pushed. “Haha did you see what they were getting up to in Parra. They were putting these Third Party Agreements on napkins and then giving the boys cash…… Jesus Christ. Even if we stayed we wouldn’t be doing basic stuff like that.” “You gotta play smart boys. We are off to The British Territory of Bermuda so we don’t get caught for rorting this thing. That way we can get ourselves a 2000’s Melbourne Storm team that’s actually on the books,” he said. Olivio said that fans don’t have to worry, there will be no name changes or anything of the like, only a change of backdoor process to sign good players. -
The Hayne Plane is back at Parramatta and already bringing the good scandals. He's been accused of rape while he was living his dream as a 49er in the NFL.
