if nothing else, the term "weak gutted dog person" has made NRL social media fucking hilarious this weekend.
-
i was sort of wondering how Sticky's super loyal media mates were gonna defend this
So far i have seen "yes, but, charity work!"
"you can't suspend him, we don't live in China"
"this is really the NRL's fault for making coaches do press conferences" -
@mariner4life buzz said he needed to be punished, but he painted a picture first of a nice guy with a charity blah blah, before saying he still needs to be punished
lol you can see why he has so many lives
-
The NRL fraternity - commentators, ex players, journos - run the greatest protection racket in sport. Say and do basically anything and you will have plenty of people running interference or selling your “good” qualities for you.
-
lol normally a terrible affair talking about trades etc, but foxsports "blog with hoops" session today was a funny read. James Hooper wrote the piece earlier making the statement, that Australia isn't China or Russia. Most fans let him and his media mates have both barrels today..quite an entertaining sledging session in general against the tone deaf media
-
@bayimports ordinarily avoid it like the plague but maybe i'll give it a hoon
-
that was a fun read.
You just know that absolute deadshit Hooper typed that with that stupid sideways grin on his face as if he's just said something really profound.
-
just hearing Eli Katoa to the storm, I know the warriors were shopping him around but I am surprised at this one, as he was going beast mode in the cup and obviously not coaches favourite, but this will be one guy who will be very strong in a different system. Shame, but all the best if true

Everyone is stronger once they leave the Warriors system

@canefan except SJ and we still took him back

Of course we take the lame ducks back

Listening to Kent tonight and there seems to be more than meets the eye with this and his opinion is if Sticky comes out and explains what happens all those years ago the public tide would turn in his favour.
No matter what happened and it could be serious and it sounds like family members etc, all you need to do in a media conference when asked a direct question about the incident is to say “I don’t want to comment”.

Hard to tell what bogans will be swayed by, but I couldn't care less if Salmon murdered the Stuart's family dog. I'd quite happily believe Kent doesn't know either.
-
@antipodean Kent and Sticky are actually good mates, so whilst he talks smack most of the time I'm willing to listen in on this one. It looks like the NRL are trying to get ahead of it and will suspend him for a game regardless.

Says volumes about them.
-
Considering the kid was 12 I can't even imagine what he could have done that justifies this.

looool fuck you can't believe this. I've finally seen what Kunt has to say and write, and it is fucking delusional. Yeah, Ricky is the strong one here, because he didn't just let out all the shit a 12 year old did 10 fucking years ago.
1 game and $20k is a joke by the way

my current favourite is
"yeah but what is 12 in weak gutted dog years?"
-
I just find the whole reaction hilarious - journos, “friends”, family, ex players etc.
@mariner4life on the ‘punishment’, they may as well have done nothing. It doesn’t change anything or create a deterrent of any kind.
-
@ACT-Crusader tbh I'm not sure what sort of handbrake or punishment is ever going to stop Ricky being Ricky. He's been chewing this shit over for years it seems and he's a bloody hair trigger at the best of times. From what I read he's got an axe to grind against the dad as well... no doubt more details will come emerge in usual NRL fashion.
