Footy is coming

Cant wait for the new footy season to arrive to start sledging poor simple teams and the diabolical players getting into strife week in week out. Only a few weeks to go

Pea Hearted Effort

I am going to make this short and sweet. How can Novak Djokovic be up 2 sets to 1 and totally in control last night against Tsonga and lose in 5 because he apparently had crook guts??????????????????????????? Take a sick break, get that puncey trainer out to give you some quick eeze and toughen the fuck up you Pea Hearted wanker. You are just about into the semis of a grand slam so this excuse is not good enough for your fans and people, like myself, who punted on you!

Karma

MANLY'S champion NRL forward Anthony Watmough helped to save the life of teammate Steve Matai by lying over his unconscious body as they were kicked and punched by a group of thugs.
After a brutal bashing on the Northern Beaches, both Sea Eagles stars were taken by ambulance to Mona Vale Hospital for treatment.
Police last night indicated it was an unprovoked assault outside Matai's Beacon Hill home at 1.30am on Sunday involving at least three Polynesian men, but possibly as many as eight.
Watmough, who was waiting for a taxi, was hailed a hero yesterday for throwing his body over his stricken teammate as he was lying unconscious and being kicked and stomped by the gang.
"It was very scary and I was worried for Skivvy's (Matai's) life because he wasn't moving," Watmough said.
"I have no idea why it happened or who they were.
"The area is on a main road not in some back alley. I'm just grateful we are both OK.
"I want to make it clear we didn't retaliate or provoke the attack and we are happy to co-operate with police to aid them in their investigation."
The two players went to Matai's house after a night out on the Northern Beaches. Watmough left to get his taxi when he was approached by the group. Matai went to his aid and was "king hit" from behind.
Police said three men were involved in the attack but the players and a witness believe it was a gang of up to eight.
"I saw my attacker coming but not the punch," Matai said, "After that I can't remember a thing. I came good in hospital.
"I'm grateful Choc did what he did. It was a cowardly attack. One would think you are safe in front of your home but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I was out for a long time and I'm feeling like I've been run over by a bus."
The players reported the attack to club officials when they were released from hospital. They were too sick to train yesterday.
Although both players have had their share of off-field dramas over the years, Manly CEO Graham Lowe was convinced they did nothing wrong on this occasion. "The Manly club has conducted a thorough investigation into the incident and co-operated fully with the police," he said.
"The police have kept us informed throughout and assured us they are investigating an unprovoked attack.
"I'm proud of the way they refused to inflame the situation. They had enjoyed a quiet night out in each others company and were attacked within a few metres of one of their homes."
NRL boss David Gallop was told of the attack in a phone call from Lowe on Sunday afternoon.
"It's a concern if it's right what police are saying that it was an unprovoked attack and two players have suffered serious injuries," Gallop said.

Couldn't happen to a bigger pair of grubs.

More League Idiots

Even after a turbulent season of rugby league the incidents still don't stop with players covering the back pages in the last 2 weeks. As I have said previously, this is a game that is losing credability by the second and can't afford its players to keep stuffing up and putting themselves before the game. Here is the latest series of incidents;
1. Paul "Grub "Gallen caught urinating in public and fined. I know that we have all done this but this is the ex captain of the Cronulla sharks and a NSW and Australian rep. Either find a better hiding place to piss or do it inside you moron. Probably 1 dozen players have been done for this in the last year so you have to know people are watching and waiting to dob you in.
2. Jake Friend arrested AGAIN. He had a fight with a cabbie which we have all done and then got stuck into the cops. Did I mention he was heavily BOOZED!! This dipshit has had that many chances in a short career he surely has to be cut by the Roosters if they are fair dincum.
3. Jonathon Thurston leaving the game? For a guy who was nothing and playing reserve grade at the Bulldogs, the Cowboys signed him and helped change his life and make him a superstar. Now he is saying the money will rule his decision and he may play rugby. Fuck off I say, let him go. Can't wait to see some big Islander or Sth African ruck your back off. Another spoilt brat who we don't want to lose but the NRL and Cowboys can't be held to ransom.
4. Danny Wicks dealing drugs. This guy was just becoming a cult hero for the Knights and the NRL and he goes and gets caught dealing large amounts of drugs. Sure he might not be on the biggest contract, yet, but if he continued to improve like he did last year he may have got up to a $200,00 contract sooner than later. Instead he will probably go to jail and get but fucked by larger humans than himself.

Rugby league desperately needs this new independant commission to be up and running ASAP. I think they need to be very severe on indiscressions in order to get the game back where it should be. eg Paul Gallen you got snapped pissing in public, 6 week ban for bringing the game into disrepute. If players are copping match bans rather than paltry fines they may behave better. If they still offend then they are given the year off or kicked out.

Off Topic- The Funniest Joke in the Comp

Absolutely nothing to do with sport but here is a GREAT joke I thought you'd all enjoy brilliantly told by Super Dave Osbourne from the grossly underrated sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm. Be careful- some language here.
