The View In The Bunker.

It's fair to say, that on many occasions, there have been decisions handed down by the Bunker Officials that even unbiased observers haven't seen eye-to-eye with. Which brings us to Luke Patten.As a player, Luke possessed the physical abilities & talent to play a lot of very good footy over a long & sucessful career. However, as no-one is perfect (except Kirsten Dunst), Luke was short-changed by Nature in one obvious way.When LP plonks himself down in front of the telly at home he gets a different view to most people. I'm not saying it's so bad that, out of one eye he sees the fish-tank in the hallway, while at the same time, in the other direction, he sees the computer screen flickering in the Games Room. But imagine what it's like in the Bunker where he's confronted by multiple screens. If you have ever watched the movie, "The Fly"' starring Jeff Goldblum, you'll get the picture.So, we should not be too hard on Luke. The NRL have failed both him & the game by placing him in a high-pressure situation which he doesn't seem to have the abilities to cope with.Thought for the Day;If you walk a mile in someone else's shoes,You'll be a mile away,And you'll have their shoes.

"WAS.... is the operative word, I am nearly bald now. The boys have hung in there pretty well and Karen will have loved to know she was a "stunner" she is still doing pretty well for an "old duck" .....she polishes up pretty well still."

The force is weak with him. If he chokes when making the big decisions then get outta here.

FYI - The Fly was a movie decades before Goldblum got near it

  Yep,1958, B & W with Vincent Price. The original and the best. Vincent Price trivia; he does the spoken dialogue on Alice Cooper's "Welcome To My Nightmare" album.

Haha great blog ! Luke's eyes have been a long running discussion on here . Luke and I actually have a few mutual friends and I've been told many a time the poor bastards always in trouble off his mrs when they go out for looking at passing woman .

Lol at the Kirsten Dunst reference, always thought she looked like a 40 yr old when she was 20 odd.

You won't have to worry about luke next year.

He is taking over the salary cap job for the nrl next year.

They have to make room for Scott Seward in the bunker.

That should put some mongrel in the nrl with all those mutts running it.

Apparently one of Luke's parents is a Muppet, that's where gets his googly eyes from.

Ok here goes.

What if i was to say that i have a reliable source that says even the people officiating the game ask the same questions that us league fans ask week in week out?

And im not talking about L. Patten specifically, but just the general state of the game.

  I'd say you need to be more specific without naming names.
The Outsider May 14, 2016 at 8:12am

There will definitely be no names mentioned, just think of it as drunk talk, wild speculations and sour grapes from a sore loser.

Whilst i love my team im also not in the habit of throwing my mates to the wolves.
