  • You are right, we can no longer meekly accept these biased charges.

    And if he was still found guilty, you would forever shake your head at the obvious lack of fairness with the system within the NRL.

    • This feels like one of those one-sided conversations you have with yourself, while keeping a look-out on the bow of a reefer boat navigating through the English Channel on a foggy nite!

  • " Rick to the bridge,............"Bridge, what is it sailor?"  "Can't see 2 ft. in front of myself up here." "That's too bad sailor, is it cold up there?"  "Freezing 2nd." "Well that will keep you awake, now you've only got 2 hrs left of your watch, so keep a sharp look-out and stay off the radio unless you see something, right sailor." F...k you, you clown!"   "What did you say Sailor?" "Sorry 2nd, I said if we were to collide with a ferry I'd be first to drown."  "Yes well .....keep your eyes peeled and stay off the radio."  "Aye Aye."

    • About an hour later....."Rick to the Bridge"....."Bridge what is it"...... "We're starting to ship some green stuff over the bow and I'm wringing wet, can I keep the look-out on the Bridge?"  "Sailor, you can only leave the Forecastle when the weather is inclement!"  "How do you define inclement?"  "Jesus sailor, it's when it's raining heavily, you're getting drowned and or it 's so cold you can't physically stand it any longer......thats inclement, okay?"  "Well I'll see you in 3 minutes 2nd." "Christ you're a soft specimen Sailor, but okay come on up."

      • 3 minutes later......."God it's a lot warmer up here in the wheelhouse Second."  "Well don't think you're staying inside here,get out on the starboard wing and keep your look-out where you won't be dripping all over the deck inside."  "You f..cking pr..k."  "What!"  "I said I wish i was back at Pirtek." 'Whats this Pirtek?"  "It's the home ground of the best rugby League side on the planet, the Parramatta Eels."  "Really, I've heard of them Rick, come inside out of the cold and tell me all about them,........coffee?"

  • I only saw the tackle live at the game. Id like to know what it looked like on camera. Link anyone?

    • Sorry Nidge, I don't have a link, but to me , live, it was pretty innocuous. He picked him up and dropped him squarely on his back. It was such an everyday normal tackle that I was gobsmacked when a penalty was given. 

      I could have immediately reviewed it on my DVD machine but honestly thought it was'nt worth worrying about.

      That's why I'm so glad Manu was not pressured into accepting it, but instead will fight the charge tonite.

      Power to you MM.

  • No link, but it just looked like the ref confused a warranted penalty (Ma'u went on with the tackle as the guy tried to get a quick play the ball) with foul play. It didn't look like the guy's body was "beyond the horizontal". Closer to a trip than a spear

"I got excited thinking maybe a Winger, but seems he is a middle forward. We have plenty of them coming through with Talagi, Koina and Popo.
Hopefully he can be an edge where we have Funa-Iuta and Petrus as the only really great prospects in junior…"
