NRL Rd 15 *Spoilers

[Tiger5150]

PVL has made the game worse than Greenberg ever did. Worst bloke we've had running the game in forever.

V'landys owned two video stores back in the 90's. I owned a video store in the same group called Home Pics Video. We had group meetings every month.
He was a tosspot back then and he hasn't changed


I worked with him recently. I was running late for an appointment at his house on the day the Sam Burgess drug allegations his the media. I ended up being 20-30 minutes late and he was really cool. Was completely calm and collected and talked with me for over an hour, as if I was the only thing he had to worry about that day. Then he said "if you will excuse me, I need to go to war//"

I really liked him as a bloke. Zero pretense. A very down to earth bloke.

Sorry mate but any person who uses the metaphor of going to war to inflate their own sense of self-importance sickens me to be honest. A person in a plush boardroom isn't some bloke fighting for his life in a jungle or a desert.
Really hate it when people trot out that line

Lighten up Francis. It was a throwaway line meaning he had a hard day ahead of him. I dont think he was conflating the two. He is one the least self important people I have met. That was the point of me mentioning that it was on the day of the Burgess news. It was the opposite of self importance. You would not have known he had a care in the world and was happy to chat about my work for a long time, didnt talk about himself or his position once. Just a throwaway line at the end to say "funs over back to work".

Good one.
Seeing what post-war PTSD does to somebody means that I hate it when war is used to compare to anything, be it sport or some ponce in a boardroom. That is just my opinion Francis?

Taukeiaho will receive a $1700 fine for an early guilty plea, or could risk a $2250 fine if he unsuccessfully challenges the charge at the judiciary.

Where’s all this money going ?

It's going to be a good Christmas do at NRL headquarters this year.

How does it feel Robbo
This is a Tigers supporters life

There's never a problem until it's a problem for them. Anyone else kind of feel a little warm and fuzzy that the rorters got stiffed?

No, because the rules should be applied with intelligence.

Trouble is the referees are not intelligent.

It is the game that is getting rorted not individual clubs.

Nice one Mr V'landys - rules need to be applied correctly not just black and white. Nobody wants 50 - 0 scorelines, we want hard fought fair wins. Instead of this sin bin palava - just send 8 teams out every week with 12 men. It would be the same result. Rubbish!

Billy riding buck sent me to Fox..

A bit harsh in the referees there Russell. They have been instructed to apply the rules in a certain way and are just doing their job. Most of them don’t agree with they are being told to do.

Agree the black and white application of the rules is not right but blame has to be pointed at the people higher up.

The refereeing is absolutely atrocious. As a neutral observer of the Panthers/Chooks game the amount of very poor calls was mind-blowing.

Can we sign Conor Watson please?
Playing with such high energy. Handy player and utility too.

 

[supercoach]

Terrible game, terrible sin bin call and a avalanche of six again calls. Peter V’s football keeps delivering bog average games
