Titans merciless with Broncos
July 25, 2009
The Gold Coast Titans turned it on in front of a large home crowd at Skilled Park, Robina to blow away an undermanned Broncos outfit last night 34-18.
Kicking off Round 20 of the 2009 NRL, the Titans have the Top 8 finals in their sights and weren’t about to take their foot off the gas as the approached the unrecognizable Brisbane side.
The Titans are now unbeaten at home for the entire 2009 NRL season and look to have a roster that will challenge for the title at the business end of the year.
The Coast opened the game with a bang; forward Mark Minichiello scoring after 10 minutes, Origin forward Ashley Harrison then cruising over just prior to the 15m mark, with improving forward Michael Henderson next and boom prospect Kevin Gordon getting his share of the action on the half hour mark.
The game over at halftime with the Titans leading 22-2 over the young Broncos.
The rewarding part for the Coast and their coach John Cartwright would be the continued impressive form of Scott Prince. The veteran half was involved in most of the tries and orchestrated things brilliantly.
It seems only injury can derail the Titans quest for their first semi-final NRL appearance.
The home side chose to rest Harrison, Friend and Minichiello in the final stages of the match as they bore slight injuries. This gave Brisbane some breathing space and the Cory Parker led side ran in some tries to make things respectable.
Antonio Winterstein heavily involved in the Brisbane points, with the Broncos eventually patching things up to lose by 34-14.
The Titans now sit on 28 points and are virtually ensured of a finals place. Their effort in the weeks ahead could see them confirm a Top 4 spot - ensuring a home final at Robina, which would be an ideal hunting ground for them.
The Broncos obviously hammered by injury; continue to spiral out of contention, their race for the finals looking too much to ask at this stage. Along with Penrith, punters believe the Brisbane side will be the ones to drop out of the race for the final 2 spots.
Manly slaughter sloppy Knights
July 25, 2009
The Manly Sea Eagles have continued their climb to the top of the NRL Ladder, tonight defeating the sloppy Newcastle Knights in front of a pro-Eagles crowd at Bluetongue Stadium, Gosford.
The Sea Eagles running out winners 44-20, surprisingly after the Knights started strongly at got away to a 14-0 lead before the 20 minute mark in the game.
It was a crucial game for both teams, but despite injuries - Newcastle would have fancied their chances, with the game only a stones throw from their home turf and the chance to chase a Top 4 finish, they had plenty to play for.
Instead, it turned into a nightmare shortly before half time.
After starting strongly and not allowing the Eagles to have any ball, the Knights proceeded to literally drop their bundle and gift ball to the Manly side consistently for the next 30 minutes or so.
The reborn Eagles took every chance they were presented with, continuing to stroll over the try line and build on their progressing form over the past few weeks. Coming back from a 14-0 deficit was the challenge Manly needed and they are showing the leading teams in the NRL that they are back and mean business as the finals approach.
While halfback Matt Orford’s kicking game still needs improvement, new face Keiran Foran looks to have a strong future and the wayward Wolfman looks to be returning to his best form after some wayward months. But ultimately for Manly, it seems their forwards are again standing up with some tough, solid work from the engine room when it counted.
While the Knights might blame the loss on their coaching changes, the loss of Gidley and Mullen cannot be forgotten. Stand-in half Scott Dureau was underdone and eventually succumbed to injury himself, with Ben Roberts a little off target - there was no direction for the Newcastle side and things went from bad to worse.
Fortunately for the Knights, they host the Roosters next week and will fancy their chances against the NRL cellar dwellars. For Manly, they have a strong test - away to the attacking prowess of the Wests Tigers.
Eels hold off misfiring Storm
July 20, 2009
The Parramatta Eels have managed an upset win tonight over the Melbourne Storm at Parramatta Stadium 18-16.
A motivated Eels side turned up from the outset with the Storm looking a little disinterested and also without direction, obviously missing their captain Cameron Smith.
The slippery conditions at Parramatta Stadium seemed to frustrate the visiting Storm side, Cronk and Inglis slipping several times at key moments to gift their opposition good field position.
While the Storm were without the likes of Smith and Finch, the Eels too remain competitive even without their halves in Keating and Mateo. Makeshift half Jeff Robson was solid as was the future man Daniel Mortimer.
The first half was a close affair, with statistics showing nothing between the two sides. The only difference was the Eels taking their chances and converting through a long range try finishing off by Robson and a bullocking run by Moi Moi to crash over and score.
Storm star Greg Inglis looked either injured or disinterested for the most part, rarely looking to get involved and when he managed a carry - Joel Reddy was heavily marking the Queensland centre.
Billy Slater showed promise late in the piece for the Storm as they drew closer to the Eels, but at 18-6, it was always going to be a tough ask for the fancied Melbourne outfit.
To their credit, the Storm ducked over for 2 late tries, albeit through an extremely controversial effort to Joseph Tomane. The speedy outside back skidded in to score in the corner after centre Inglis had taken Reddy out in a dummy runner play.
All year in the NRL, the dummy runner hitting the defender has been ruled no try.
But for some reason, the video referee decided to make things interesting and throw consistency out the window.
Actually no, lets re-phrase that - the video referees have been consistently inconsistent in 2009 if that makes sense.
Either way, the Eels managed to hang on as the classy Storm threw everything at the cellar dweller home side. Parramatta hanging on for just their 6th win of the 2009 NRL season.
Warriors home late over Chooks
July 19, 2009
The woes for the Sydney Roosters continued earlier today, with Brad Fittlers men somehow losing to the Warriors 30-24 after looking set to take the points with only 5 minutes left in the match at the Sydney Football Stadium.
With Mitchell Pearce in good touch and a hard running Willie Mason getting over the score early, the signs were good for the Roosters - but as they have done so often in 2009, they continued to make simple errors and couldn’t maintain their focus for the full 80 minutes.
As the clock wore down, the Roosters sliced through the Warriors defence to score through Tom Symonds - a real stand out talent for the Chooks it seems. The red headed Symonds earlier linking with Pearce to score an impressive try down the Warriors right hand edge.
But despite the efforts of rookie Symonds, it was the most underrated man in NRL - Wade McKinnon who would cut through the Roosters to score a match winning try on the 75 minute mark.
After gobbling up a Pearce grubber from his own red zone, McKinnon stepped, weaved and sped through the defence and dished out a late fend that Greg Inglis would have been proud of - to score his team the crucial try.
Its only the second time this year the Warriors have won away from home and it keeps their extremely feint finals hopes alive if they can go close to winning the majority of their remaining matches.
For the Roosters, it seems many players will be fearing for their lives with Brian Smith on his way next year. Continued poor showings could see another clean out similar to what happened in Newcastle post Michael Hagan.
Smart Farah wins game and boxing match
July 19, 2009
Robbie Farah proved he isn’t only the leading hooker in the game, but after baring the brunt of a Anthony Watts attack - smart Farah went old school, he waited patiently and under the cover of a scrum ‘unleashed hell’ on Watts and exacted revenge, before going on to seal the game for the Tigers.
Wests won the match 34-14, as the 2005 Grand Final combatants went at each other hammer and tong.
After only 45 seconds of the match, the Cowboys stormed through in the form of Matty Bowen and it looked like being a long day for the Wests Tigers.
But that was about it for the Cowboys, despite a penalty goal to get them to 8 points - they didn’t score again until the last quarter of the match. And while the Tigers were sleeping giants in the early stages, once they got going - they produced their attacking best.
Apart from the enticing bout between livewire Watts and the robust Farah, Wests fullback Shannon Gallant was impressive to watch at full flight - turning on the after burners to get around Bowen and score in the corner.
Marshall was in the same frame of mind, at one stage taking a quick tap from a penalty and shooting past the Cowboys scattered defence to come within 15m of scoring - the busy Bowen having to engage again to take the Tigers half down.
But after some patchy play from both teams in the final 20 minutes, the Cowboys eventually got over for a short range try through Carl Webb. The touchdown brought the away side back to life, but to their credit - the Tigers stood tall and laid on more points to put the match beyond doubt. Now moving to 18 points on the ladder, the win may leave Tigers fans wondering what could have been if they won a few more matches - but at this stage, their late charge for the semi’s needs another 2005 miracle!
Gutsy Sharks so unlucky
July 18, 2009
The Cronulla Sharks put in a gutsy showing, but in the end - poor decisions by officials probably cost the Sharks against a misfiring Manly Sea Eagles outfit.
In the end late points to Manly got them home 32-26, but it was a 12 man Cronulla outfit that battled through thousands of back to back sets while skipper Trent Barrett was in the sin-bin that won accolades from spectators.
Manly were again without Chris Bailey at pivot and it showed, they lacked direction at times and continued to run across field without any luck.
Both sides were able to score points on the back of errors and the first half was a try fest as both the Sharks and Sea Eagles went toe to toe, goal kicking the only difference.
It was an usually attack happy Cronulla side early on, they took their chances and were smart in their decision making; they were choosing the right time to kick or run and it was paying dividends.
Manly too made the most of their limited chances in the first term, only some poor conversion misses from close range by Matt Orford were hindering them.
But in the second half, the game turned into a slug fest as the scores were locked at 22 all.
With just under 20 minutes to go, a try saving tackle from Trent Barrett cut down a tearaway Anthony Watmough who looked certain to score; but in his haste to rise and play the ball - Watmough split the pill and referee Steve Lyons immediately sent Barrett off for 10 minutes claiming interference.
But on closer inspection, it was either a dropped ball or possibly a Luke Covell interference - the poor decision almost certainly proving too much for the Sharks.
To their credit, the home side defended for almost 7 consecutive sets of 6. They were forcing Manly into frustration and when Manly’s David Williams took out Sharks winger Ferguson without the ball it looked like the Sharks were finally set to get some relief.
But again, the decision went the wrong way - somehow the officials ruling that it was a knock-on from Ferguson despite replays showing the Wolfman blatantly taking out the Sharks rookie.
The Sharks rallied again, soon after getting Barrett back on deck and yet again they looked like they might have setup a major escape.
Manly continued to spread the ball from edge to edge, but dangerous centre Jamie Lyon coughed it up on an early tackle and the Sharks got their chance to obtain some field position.
But after so much impressive defence, the home side threw a forward pass that ultimately broke their backs. Young fullback Stapleton forcing the pass and putting his team on the defensive again.
The defending NRL Premiers wouldn’t miss this time, big Tony Williams scoring in the corner after Matt Orford worked up a nice 2 on 1 play.
Ricky Stuart and his team again unable to get home in a match they probably deserved to win.
For coach Des Hasler, he would be relieved to get over the line. Manly mightn’t be quite at their best, but they are still winning matches and the finals are still over 8 weeks away.
Souths find their mojo, destroy Panthers
July 11, 2009
Souths needed to win at all costs, they had dropped 5 games straight and even their key players were showing signs of stress the week before. But it all came together against a weakened Panthers outfit last night, Bunnies saviour John Sutton firing on all cylinders to take the man of the match - his side home 36-12.
While some will argue it was against a desperately undermanned Penrith side, a win and more importantly the confidence was the thing Jason Taylor and his South Sydney side needed most.
Sutton was exceptional in his decision making, everytime he chose to take on the line it was the correct decision. He tore the Panthers defence to shreds, much the same at the Eels had done the week before - except the Eels didn’t have the steely tackling resolve the Bunnies had tonight.
When they didnt have the ball; Souths defended consistently - with the Penrith tries really only coming from fortunate situations. New debutant Tyrell was impressive for Souths off the bench and speedman Nathan Merritt knows what to do when you give him the ball in space.
The win was made even more rewarding given the fact big names Michael Crocker and Craig Wing were on Origin duty and the ace up their sleeve Rhys Wesser remains sidelined with an injury.
If the Bunnies can string plenty of victories together in the next few weeks they still have a glimmer of hope to make the finals and with confidence in the midst, along with the depth they have when everyone’s fit - this side could surely make an impact in Rugby League’s finest hour - the Top 8 series.
Storm blessed, pip Knights on bell
July 5, 2009
The Melbourne Storm were counting their lucky stars last night, as they faced a certain defeat at Olympic Park until some 77th minute magic got the homeside victory against a courageous Newcastle Knights side.
Despite backing up from Monday Night Football, the Knights looked hungry as they took the Storm head on and forced the home side to do plenty of tackling. The Storm to their credit neared 300 tackles, nearly 70 more than their opponents - but remained defensively sound and had the ability to steal the win in the final minutes, something that had coach Craig Bellamy delighted after the match.
Newcastle were without the services of Steve Simpson and Adam McDougall who both had a bout of the flu through the week and losing that kind of experience would hurt most sides, however the Knights continue to play a confident brand of football and even though they couldn’t manage the upset win, coach Brian Smith was delighted with the effort, backing up from a good win Monday and fighting all the way at an away venue had the coach pleased as they work towards the 2009 NRL finals.
The usual suspects were involved for Melbourne, the proven ability of Greg Inglis and Billy Slater getting points for the Storm - but it was young buck Will Chambers who scored the decisive try to win them the game. The problem for Melbourne now may lay with injuries, with half Brett Finch assisted from the field with a shoulder complaint and Cameron Smith also being struck down late in the game also with a shoulder problem.
The Storm could be working nicely towards peak form as they approach the semi’s. They haven’t been in top gear in 2009 and remain slightly off the radar, but their ability and composure in close matches has them placed nicely to make a run at the Premiership. Barring long term injuries, this side will certainly be in the mix come the business end of the season.
Hobbling Cowboys still get Sharks 24-4
July 5, 2009
Despite being hampered by 3 injuries including key man Luke O’Donnell, the Cowboys still managed a strong victory over the Sharks 24-4 as they fight to force their way into the NRL Top 4 prior to the end of the regular season.
Things didn’t look good for the Cowboys early, with hooker Payne struck down with a rotator cuff problem after 10 minutes and NSW rep O’Donnell going off after a grade 1-2 medial ligament strain to his knee.
With the Sharks you can expect an arm wrestle in most games and this was no different, the scores locked at 0-0 come half time. The first points of the came coming 3 minutes into the second half through flanker John Williams, getting the homeside out of the blocks.
But as usual with Cronulla, even with a glut of possession the side failed to post any points in the period of the match when they were on top. Coach Ricky Stuart confirming after the game that a 15 minute spell by Thurston after half time set the Cowboys up for a cosy win.
Stuart going further saying, if you put JT in the Sharks team - they would have won comfortably.
As the Cowboys looked to be getting run down as injuries set in, they were boosted by some Matt Bowen magic - the diminutive back scoring twice in the space of 4 minutes to break the spirit of the Cronulla side and ensure the home crowd would get the win.
The final nail in the coffin coming through Ty Williams, scoring late to rub further salt in the Sharks wounds.
Touch Footy as Tigers slam Bunnies
July 5, 2009
Benji was back in his old number 6 jersey and Robbie Farah was superhuman once more, as the Wests Tigers turned on their attacking best to blow the struggling South Sydney Bunnies away 54-20.
The scary thing is, that Wests could have laid on even more tries had a few things bounced their way. With big winger Taniela Tuiaki scoring 3 tries and narrowly missing a 4th as he unselfishly passed inside when he may have been able to barge overhimself.
As the Tigers reached the half century things can’t get much worse for the group at Souths. They have struggled for much of 2009 but are now firmly back on the radar and the media are sure to circle. Coach Jason Taylor trying desperately to fire up his side, hooking players and reshuffling on several occasions. Big Roy Asotasi was not himself and several times dropped the pill cold, but the Bunnies big name wasn’t alone with plenty of team mates also looking like they were disinterested.
Tim Sheens seemed a happier man, the new half combination of Tim Molzten and Benji Marshall while only in its infancy - certainly giving the team better direction and good service; albeit assisted by the talented Farah who put his hand up for Origin.
While there is no questioning that Farah is best hooker available to NSW, it seems selectors may finally be realising that Origin is far more than just a game of skill. As NRL News reported prior to game 1, leaving out Michael Ennis and Matt Cooper would surely mean a series loss. The two players aren’t just good at what they do, they have a hunger and passion ready made for Origin - these guys could have really made a difference.
The Tigers have a slim chance of making the playoffs and do have a bye up their sleeve, so if things really fall their way, miracles may happen. For Souths, there may be some problems internally that are being covered up. The players really look short of zip and in the post game Jason Taylor was frank - saying several players are under the microscope and the performance was no where near first grade level.
Expect to see plenty of changes in the Souths side, with the depth and talent they have - there is no question they should be in the top 8. The Tigers will naturally gain some confidence from this win and were previously a side under pressure from the coach down. Regardless of the finals, the Wests side need to build confidence for 2010 as they start the largest rebuilding phase since their only ever finals appearance in 2005.

- Info : Please, resolve the addition below before post any new comment...
- RickyRicardo : It's getting out of hand. Billy Slater is set to be the latest casualty if he doesn't pass a fitness test.
- Mocco : The All Stars game is starting to look like the NFL Pro Bowl. So how many more stars will drop out? I bet if it was a Grand Final it would be a different story!
- RickyRicardo : 1. Hayne 2. Grothe 3. Reddy 4. Tahu 5. Burt 6. Mortimer 7. Keating 8. Poore 9. Keating 10. Fui Fui Moi Moi 11. Shane Shackleton 12. Nathan Hindmarsh 13. Feleti Mateo
- RickyRicardo : Well it all depends on what DA decides to go with, but my starting 13 would be as follows.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : inu off to souths i can like that
- Guest_4783 : Ricky, who will be the Eels starting line up 1 through 13?
- RickyRicardo : I agree Wombat. If gives those waiting in the wings to show their worth whilst playing for their country. It'd be a great game to watch, but the NRL is stingy about the games that take place. They were reluctant to have the current All Stars v Aborigine side, but the Players Association and several corporate bosses at the NRL convinced them to get it started, and they did.
- wombat : understand the problems, i just think it would be great to see as a one off game each year, then the top players can still rep for Australia at international level.
- RickyRicardo : Guys like Greg Inglis, Jonathon Thurston, Justin Hodges, etc. would have to forfeit their spots in the Aussie side, to represent their heritage in the Aborigines. That's if they wanted to do so of course.
- RickyRicardo : Only problem with that, well the main problem the NRL would have is the fact that a lot of the players would overlap, and so in order for the Aborigine players to represent their pride and heritage, they'd have to forfeit their Australian spots for that game.
- wombat : I would love to see Australian indigenous side V Australia
- wombat : who thinks the concept for the all stars game is not right
- RickyRicardo : Krisnan Inu is rumoured to be headed to Souths in 2011.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : burgess looking a good success for souths
- RickyRicardo : And Mateo will most likely stay Maddog. He's happy at the club, has a guaranteed starting role, and both Anderson and Osborne will do whatever they can to keep him
- RickyRicardo : Jason Clark was an U20's prop/second-rowe r for the Bunnies, but he has recently been elevated to the starting side.
- MADDOG : HEY GUYS I'M A BIG EELS FAN AND WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS IF ATEO WILL STAY?
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : would say a young gun
- Chris : I was thinking the same thing. Does he play Und 20s?
- Mighty Rooster : Who's Jason Clark?
- RickyRicardo : Eddy Pettybourne and Jason Clark have re-signed with the Rabbitohs.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : australias greatest athlete should watch.. new series young oconnor in lead off slater yew!!!! big dell classic
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : plenty of teams cheat the system....
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : off casue mason is overrated he is a pussy real chick....... webcke on show took him ages surprised and tallis hasnt had much surprised
- Mighty Rooster : I didn't expect Webcke to join too. Wonder how that will go.
- RickyRicardo : Looks like Shane Webcke might be joining Matthew Johns on Channel Seven's rival footy show.
- Guest 2142 : Good night all. i'M going home 2 bang Cock now.

- Guest 2142 : So u R a chick then? MayB about 20ish ha.
- Mighty Sydney Cock : I like bigs cocks and I cannot lie. All you other folk can't deney. La la la...
- Mighty Sydney Cock : Agree with you Guest. But when I said I like a big willy I didn't mean in the Mason sense.
- Guest 2142 : Big Willie is over rated to Mighty. Hope he can get back to his best 4 u guys. He should have bit the bullet & his big head attitude to stay & fight his way back with us at the Roosters. He would have learned a lot more 4m Smith than he will 4m Henrry at Cowboys.
- Guest 2142 : Eels R so over rated. They R over the cap & cheating the sistem.
- Guest 2142 : Me as u would guess am a big Rooster fan. No matter what has happened at the club last year is the best club by far.
- Mighty Sydney Cock : Cowboys. What can I say, I like a big willy!
- Guest 2142 : Mighty. Can I call u Mighty? Who u follow in NRL?
- Guest 2142 : Sorry i'M with a another guest from this site.
- Mighty Sydney Cock : Heya
- MBAR : Hello u all out there.
- Mighty Sydney Cock : Indeed... What more does one need? You single?
- Mighty Sydney Cock : Where is this magic mt?
- Guest 2142 : What more can you ask 4 Magic Mt & a Mighty Cock ha.
- Mighty Sydney Cock : Smooth music hey? Are you a smooth player haha? By the way mate, I'm not with you, I don't play for that team (not that there is anything wrong with that)
- Guest 2142 : i'M at magic Mt. Having a drink & listening to some smooth music in the car Mighty Cock. Oh P.S your here with me.
- Mighty Sydney Cock : What are all you dudes doing tonight?
- Mighty Rooster : I think it works like this, It is $1000k for every points difference in each winning game. e.g. ,If we win a game 10 points to 8,then $2000 is donated by Steggles and $500 by our club...
- Guest_1312 : do bulldogs get like 30-40 million from there sponser, while roosters get 4 million?? Whats the worst club in NRL for that reason.
- RickyRicardo : A lot of the payments from Steggles have to do with player conduct and all as well.
- Happy Dragon : I'm only having a bit of fun, lighten up 257!
- Chris : Just saw Steggles could be giving Roosters 4 million depending on a few things. But
- RickyRicardo : Apart from that though, it's the same news about Inu and Mateo. Inu looks like the one most likely to leave at the end of 2010.
- Chris : And William Z to fullback. So anynews about Eels or just the same about Mateo an Inu?
- RickyRicardo : I'm not too sure actually. I'd probably say lock, given that Preston Campbell will probably be at 5/8.
- Chris : Yeah. For Titans is he playing 5/8 or lock?
- RickyRicardo : I think he'll be a bit rusty. He knows that even one minor hiccup on or off the field, and it's career over.
- Chris : Yeah, i just have to ignored most people about that. Alot of injuries lately. Wonder how Bird will go on his first match.
- RickyRicardo : Which means that my previous posts is void. Greg Bird is there to perhaps replace one of the second rowers or Alan Tounge.
- RickyRicardo : Beau Champion is in the All-Stars side to replace Greg Inglis.
- RickyRicardo : Just ignore what anyone says about dude. A sponsor means money for the club, and the fans have to worry less about not having a sponsor. Just say, wait and see what the results will be.
- Chris : Yeah, i think they mean 1 try is 1 thousand. I have already gotten teased about having Steggles as our sponser not looking foward to tomorrow.
- RickyRicardo : That's what I'm not sure of. $1000 per point, is a quite a lot of money. I guess all will be confirmed for sure, once it gets closer to the start of the season.
- Chris : $2,000 if you convert it, sorry.
- Chris : Oh ok, $1,000 for each point so is that like $4,000 for a try and $6,000 if you convert it? Or just a thousand for each try?
- RickyRicardo : I don't think that's been released yet. At this stage, money wise, we only know that Steggles will give $1000 for all points scored if understood correctly?
- RickyRicardo : Actually I wasn't aware Steggles were in talks with them. I knew of a few others, namely a couple of phone/internet companies and a TV brand, but I actually didn't know they were talking with Steggles.
- Chris : Did you know Roosters were speaking to them Ricky? How much money will they be giving Roosters or however it works.
- RickyRicardo : Greg Bird to take Inglis's spot also.
- RickyRicardo : Alan Tounge, Greg Inglis, Gareth Ellis and Dave Taylor have been ruled out of the All-Stars game.
- RickyRicardo : For the record I wasn't laughing Guest. I was merely saying it wasn't a joke, so that people wouldn't think I'd just posted it there for the sake of it. I think it's great that charity work is going on and I'm all for it.
- Guest_257 : every point Roosters score steggles give $1,000 to charity, so stop laughing ricky an hd. it's actually really good.
- Happy Dragon : I feel like chicken tonight, chicken tonight, LOL
- RickyRicardo : Steggles has been named as the official sponsor of the Sydney Roosters. It's not a joke either, that's their new sponsor.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : yay no mason around me ha

- Sharks in 2010 : Tuqiri should be good at the Tigers,good signing for them
- Happy Dragon : Thx Mocco, never think 2 turn onto the union, maybe because I don't understand the game?
- Chris : Is Tuqiri still going to be playing fullback?
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : fair enough could be good
- RickyRicardo : And Lote Tuqiri has officially signed with the Wests Tigers for 3 years.
- RickyRicardo : Basically what the rule with the kick chase is that players that are in front of the play the ball when a kick is made, are deemed out of play and cannot tackle the player who catches the ball, or otherwise they're offside.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : WHY? rr
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : HOW ?
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : what is with the kick chase rule being changed
- Mocco : Been a long time but here is one for Happy. I was watching the highlights of the French Rugby Union and the commentator said that one of the top try scorers was a Mark Gaz knee a.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : would be good to see rogers go back to sydney near his child.
- Chris : Great news for Rooster fans that Ryan Williamson will be returning on monday ::D
- RickyRicardo : Matt Rogers hasn't been offered a contract by the Titans for 2011. The interested parties include the Sea Eagles, the Sharks, the Panthers and the Eels.
- RickyRicardo : And the Cowboys have made the first move officially making an offer for Mason.
- RickyRicardo : Kemp will probably start on the wing I'd say. He was going to play in the centres, but Teo'o will be the second centre.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : kemp is so good in a good side happy he back in qld
- Chris : I would like to see, Kemp get a few runs at fullback in the trials too.
- RickyRicardo : Looks like Josh Hoffman has emerged as the new favourite to play Fullback for the Broncos.
- RickyRicardo : Hayne is the key man for the Eels yes, but DA will be looking for the other players to take it up a notch too and show the NRL that they aren't a one-man band.
- RickyRicardo : And he probably isn't worth the same money. At least not right now. If he has a solid year, he might be worth that money again.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : i thought and was hoping cowboys but now starting to think knights for the loss off wicks and mason family all in newcastle
- RickyRicardo : Well the deal will be this. Because Mason still has time left on his current with the Roosters, if Mason was to sign with another club, the Roosters would pay out the majority of his contract for the duration of the time he was supposed to be there, meaning that the club that gets him only pays a very small portion of the amount. At least for this season that will be the case.
- RickyRicardo : I reckon the Cowboys have the edge at the moment. Mason loves the Nth Qld area for starters, and he has a couple of good mates up there, many of which are current players, so that could go on his favour.
- RickyRicardo : Great to have you back S2010.
- Fern : Is he worth the same money to another club as he is at the chooks?
- Sharks in 2010 : if i was mason,i would go to the Cowboys
- Fern : Saw a segment on the news and didn't realise those two clubs were shopping for him.
- Sharks in 2010 : i really like the Eels this year,only if hayne carrys the same form from last season
- Sharks in 2010 : Sharks are no hope at making the 8 this year,but will be happy if they finish better then 15th
- Sharks in 2010 : Bulldogs are hunting Eels 5/8
- Sharks in 2010 : since its coming close to the season i thought i would come back RR,and HD
- Sharks in 2010 : any news on big willie
- Happy Dragon : Sorry but I don't really care Fern, I'm sick of hearing about him! I'm thinking maybe Knights, don't know why? If more players r found quilty regarding drug use, then they'll need anyone they can get???
- Fern : Who do you think Big Willy will join in 2010 - Knights or Cowboys?
- Happy Dragon : Yeah I know qldR, he had a niggling heel injury last yr which kept him out a bit, hopefully he'll b back 2 top form this yr???
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : hope to see some good stuff from coops in 2010 havent got much offf him latelty
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : i KNOW HD he is hott hott stuff our footy DILF>>>> ha ha ha cooops
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : if mason was going anywhere i would like it to be cowboys or knights funny cuz it the ones in talk
- Jail break : Willies a has been.
- Jail break : Ha
- Happy Dragon : OMG, how hot does Coops look on this page? It's an old photo though as he's lost a bit more hair on top & he's got another tat on top half of left arm! Doesn't matter though, he's still good enough 2 perve at, even as he's getting older!
- RickyRicardo : It'd definitely be quite the coup for the Knights, that's for sure given the conflict of late at the club.
- Chris : Not bad for Knights to get Big Willie, after Danny Wicks left.
- RickyRicardo : So it looks like the two clubs set to make an offer for Mason are The Cowboys and the Knights.
- RickyRicardo : We certainly did. Hope it's similar this year hey?
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : off course RR toooo long wasnt to bad this time cuz we had the footy interest right up to the last straw this time G.final
- RickyRicardo : It's more than good. The wait is too long
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : yip yip not long good ay
- RickyRicardo : So how are we today?? Counting down the days till the season starts?
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ :
- RickyRicardo : Well there might be some injuries heading into the All-Stars game. Greg Inglis is in doubt.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : sue the footy show how rude..... the show can get lame and a waste off show but i still like having it there offf a thursday HOW RUDE!!!
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : and we have the injuries that will come out off the all stars game doubt there wont be any
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : i like it LOL
- RickyRicardo : players involved with the drugs I mean*
- RickyRicardo : Knights will find themselves in some more trouble. Danny Wicks trial is set to bring out a few more big names from the Knights that are involved with drugs. Rumour has it, that they'll have to play a third or so string side, they have that many injuries.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : would like the see panthers up there this year had nice rookies last year but didnt quite run it off wasnt enough older knowing talent
- Happy Dragon : Hey Chris, don't know about the Dragons winning it? I don't like 2 get too carried away & then get disappointed again! I'm thinking maybe top 4 again, but don't know after that? I was really happy how they played last yr, Bennett is the best!
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : i just speak in perspective alot HD lol guess ur the same i see
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : GOD i thought the same about u HD
- Guest_221 : Parra fans reckon j baiteri is the next hindmarsh. he pops up everywher on the field.
- Chris : But Bulldogs are a big threat and of course Storm. Wouldn't be to surprised to see Tigers there.
- Chris : HD, i think Dragons might win it this year, alot of people are saying there going to choke again, but with one of the greatest coaches and a good roster, it looks like they might win it. I dont think they will choke again, after last year, Bennett will surely change that. From 2010 Dragons will no longer choke, Mark my words.
- Chris : It went actually really slow last year for me, probably becasue work but. Well i have a really busy year this year, so not to excited
- RickyRicardo : Rumour has it that Taniela Tuiaki could be out for longer than 4 weeks.
- Happy Dragon : I think he is, but I'm old enough 2 b his mother, does that sound wrong or what?
- Happy Dragon : So if you're a woman QldR & you're an Eels fan, than u must think Hayne is a hottie, am I right?
- Happy Dragon : Can't believe footy isn't far away, I've missed it heaps! Last season went too fast, I guess it helps when your team is playing well??? Sharkies & Roosters fans probably couldn't wait till the season was over?
- Happy Dragon : Look at Tiger Woods, he's wife is a stunner but it didn't stop him from banging skanks! OMG, one of Tiger's mistresses was hideous, my dogs r better looking than her!
- Happy Dragon : I think some of these skanks r like lethal drugs Mr Akuma??? If I was married to a sportsman, I'd b very worried about what he was getting up to when out with mates, especially well known sportsmen???
- Happy Dragon : God I thought u were a guy QldR!
- QldRuncivlisedEELZ : HD a women haha so am i we dont dont sound it lol agree with u HD
- Mr Akuma : I agree with you Happy D. Skanks are many and gentlemen are in short supply. Its funny though, cos with some of my mates (married) it doesn't matter how drunk they are, they'll always say 'NO' to DRUGS!!! why not skanks too?
- NRL News : Ben Barba Article Up
- Happy Dragon : I'm a woman & these skanks know exactly who these guys r & deliberately go after them to ruin their lives! A guy is a guy, even though they know it's wrong, of coarse most of them wouldn't say no if some skank was throwing herself at them???
- Mighty Sydney Cock : Everyone is entitled to make mistakes and as long as a lesson has been learnt then all is not all lost. The issue is with the women, women is the wrong word as no real woman would hurt another. I agree with happy. These skanks are not just happy with a f***, they need to take it further and ruin the lives of everyone and make it public.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : Yeh what he did was wrong but they shouldnt bought it up years later that was wrong his poor missus had to relive the whole thing again on hearing it all
- Happy Dragon : I don't agree with what Johns did, there's no excuse in my opinion for cheating, especially with skanks like that! She had no right to bring that up again & to ruin his career & for his poor wife to have to relive it all over again!
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : Sailor, Johns, Gould, what a nice panel that would be
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : Matty Johns should never have been screwed on like he was...... 7 years ago then RIDICULOUS the whole situation ws handle in the most disrepectful way
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : Gould is the man about footy agree HD
- Happy Dragon : I actually wouldn't mind seeing Gould on the show, I know alot of people don't like him, but he's knows heaps about footy!
- Happy Dragon : I miss Matty Johns heaps, he was the best! I'm glad Harrigan went too, he used to get on my nerves also!
- Happy Dragon : Hey Chris, no I don't like Vautin at all, I think he's an absolute wanker & not funny at all! Sometimes I like Vossy & sometimes I don't? It's good that he's not one sided & he doesn't mind a dispute every now & then!
- RickyRicardo : And Wendell Sailor will most likely be on the Footy Show next year. The fans love him and Nine Boss David Gyngell is keen to get him on board as well.
- RickyRicardo : And I think Voss is what the footy show needed in some ways, but he can be slightly arrogant at times. The good thing that I noticed, at least in the episodes that I watched was that Voss didn't seem to take too many sides in regards to certain teams. He remained mostly level-headed and provided a balanced view. But that's just from what I saw.
- RickyRicardo : Matthew Johns is actually about to accept a deal to work with John Singleton in a rival NRL talk show on Channel Seven.
- Mighty Sydney Cock : Agree with Chris. Need someone who knows the game and can bring some humour to the show. Any word on Matty Johns coming back?
- Chris : How do you all rate Voss from last year footy show?
- Chris : Dont you like Vautin HD, i actually liked him last year, he was very funny on a few episode's which is good. Sailor, Vautin, Matt Johns??? and someone else, who ever is funny and actually understands about the game.
- Chris : I'm going to miss Sailor also, a real big loss to Rugby Leauge. I hope he join's the Footy show.
- Chris : Elliott*
- Chris : I'm not sure if all supporter's will support Fittlers move to Panthers, but i think Matt Elliot will be happy?
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : agree with u chris
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : get rid off him fittler wont be accepted nicely
- RickyRicardo : Good stuff MR. Good to have you back as well!! How does everyone think the Panthers fans will treat Fittler? He left rather gingerly and now is back several years later.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : masona knight bbbAHHAHAHA wankrs
- Mighty Rooster : But, i called myself "Johno"
- Mighty Rooster : Hey Ricky, i just joined the NRL News Forum
- RickyRicardo : Nor do I Jess. I can't see him really leaving, but it's one of those rumours that seems to persist.
- Jess. : I don't know Ricky, I really don't think he will leave Manly
- Jess. : Im 17 qldsRuncivilised EELZ
- RickyRicardo : And I thought it'd only be an overnight rumour, but the Watmough to Parramatta rumour in 2011 still hasn't gone away.
- RickyRicardo : Great to have you back here as well Jess!!
- RickyRicardo : Perrett was unlucky to miss out Chris, I agree there. Good to have you back Jess! How's everything? Chris, HD and QLDsrunc, join the forum if you haven't, that way I can get your Facebooks if you have them, and keep you in the loop even more so regarding player transfers and rumours, and then we can discuss them here.
- Chris : I think Sammy Perrett should of made it, and not Myles.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : 19 u jess
- Jess. : us girls have a lot in common, how old are you QLD?
- Jess. : me too!
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : LOVE DELL N HINDY
- Jess. : Delly has the best personality! I LOVE HIM, he is hilarious and nice!
- Jess. : no worries at all! I would be ecstatic if it was Wendells show, and just have footy stars come in
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : aw yer he is terrific
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : if they were given our name the whole game would be up in dispute
- Happy Dragon : I hate 2 admit that Slater's a great player, but yes he knows it, just like the rest of the Storm players!
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : not a no name thats for sure
- Happy Dragon : What do u think they should b called? I think Wendell will b a regular on the footy show, anyone's better than that dickhead Vautin, sorry Jess!
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : cant stand slater he is so up himself
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : hope he on the footy shows
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : pathetic how they get called the indiginous all star and we get no name juts all stars nrl
- Happy Dragon : Wendell's the best, shame he retired, the game will miss him & so will the fans!
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : is he in all stars? i love him to jess
- Happy Dragon : I'm going for the indiginous side because of Soward & Wendell, but will cheer for Coops whenever he gets the ball!
- Jess. : I cannot wait to see Wendell Sailor in his last game! I LOVE HIM!
- Jess. : I don't know QLD, I like both sides!
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : who ya's rekn will win ?
- Happy Dragon : Yes I'm shocked about Myles as well, it's supposed 2 b fans choice, what does that say about some fans? I also can't stand Cameron Smith, just want 2 punch his lights out everytime I c him!
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : not like the indiginous game in febuary the side not like the side
- Happy Dragon : I can understand that, they've ruined this site 4 everyone! Alot of old regulars aren't on anymore
- Happy Dragon : Not bad Jess, I've got a cold at the moment, don't u just hate summer colds? We've missed u Jess, where have u been?
- Jess. : Happy, I haven't been on for so long because there are so many dickheads on here
- Jess. : and Cameron Smith too!
- Jess. : What is this about Nate Myles on the All Stars team!? I will be there! He is one of my most hated players!
- Jess. : long time no speak!
- Jess. : good how are you!
- Happy Dragon : I'm surprised if the dogs r interested in him, he hurt alot of people with what he did! I doubt they would forgive & forget that quick?
- Happy Dragon : Hey Jess how r u?
- Jess. : He will still be known as a Judas!
- Bruce : I would have thought Sonny Bill burnt his bridges when he took off
- RickyRicardo : That's true Happy, that's true. Unfortunately, they can't see it that way.
- Happy Dragon : With the mentality that u have, u probably didn't understand what I just said???
- Happy Dragon : Like I keep saying, if u morons don't like what we discuss on here, then u know what 2 do???
- Happy Dragon : Losers with too much time on their hands?
- Bruce : Hey fellas
- Penny Wong : Y U being such a ass? U'll be banned once they look at UR ip address tool
- Marvin Gay : This is one gay that's damn straight not like rippy retardo.
- Bitch Face : Retardo you cry baby. Get over yourself you think you better than everyone else. Get fucked poof.
- RickyRicardo : There were talks that Sonny Bill was coming back to the NRL, with the Bulldogs just one of the teams that were interested.
- Guest_1881 : is it true sonny boy is coming back to the bulldogs
- Penny Wong : No wonder the gloab is warming.
- Penny Wong : No wonder the gloab is warming.
- Prince Willie : Good night qlds. It's been real nice like.
- Prince Willie : Can I call you vick?
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : spooning = nice when it like me a chick HA nice one
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : half the fact im a chick HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH AHbizare ay
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : y?
- Prince Willie : qlds you must be into spooning?
- Prince Willie : Do you know any other names beside cock muncher?? It's Ricky s favorit pass time or maybe ass time.
- Prince Willie : Is your favorit player of all time a man by the name of Brian Felcha?
- Prince Willie : Acustom to T baging Ricky??
- Prince Willie : Gosh Ricky what's the best place down under?
- Wombateatrootsleaf : Hell of cause rippy where else would he go sister? And you follow the EELs don't you.
- Ricky Ricardo : qldsRunsvil. Watch your language. I will bahhhn you from my site and NZ too you wooly sheep you.
- RickyRicardo : I'm bawling my eyes out *rolls eyes* As I said before, if you don't want to read what I write here, then pay no attention to it. And there aren't any major signings at the moment, but the latest rumour out of the NRL is that Watmough could be headed to the Eels in 2011. Though it's only a rumour.
- Guest_1227T : People y don't u all run along? It must surely B lock up time in the mental asylum. Any signings?
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : funny taking me name cock muncher got nuttin bettr to do than sabotage this site using others name
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : Rippy Putitinmeass you a f wit sisy.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : Rippy butitinmeass.

- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : whos the obvious queenslander ? ewwww
- Guest_Who : People please call me by my first name Woo.
- Diniel : Ha ha.
- Jarryd Hayne : Hey queenslander get fucked.
- Jarryd Hayne : Who the F... Is Ricky Ricardo? Isn't that Lucy Balls hubbu in I love Lucy? What a twat. His name says it all. P.S. It's Nath Hindmarsh.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : mason should go good at cowboys think that about the only joint i could see and accept him in with webb thurston and odonnell
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : so immature lil shits have a look at ur selves ? where ya from ? HAHA
- Kerry : L
- Diniel : Yep. Ha ha. He's the best at everything. And his played every position in this league team in which he was the man. Well so to speake.
- Kerry : So like hello all. So who is this looser rippy or retardo think he is. So many people hate him. Is he like got his head so far up his ass or what.
- Diniel : Run along ricko.
- Liam : Your funny Diniel. Ha ha is that all?
- Diniel : Ha ha.
- Liam : Stop Ricky is crying. Ha ha.
- Kim : You wish you was as good as me rippy. Sister bring it on girlfriend.
- Bitch face : Heck hey. Oh please retardo i'M shaking. Why don't you go show how matcho you can be with Jess & Gay friend. Work off all your frustration on those two honey. Run along now.
- RickyRicardo : Not once have I ever thought that what I have said is as you put it 'special'. I'm simply providing information that other NRL supporters want to hear. Nobody says you have to read them, and nobody says you have to listen to them, but don't start with your personal slanging matches when you know absolutely nothing about me.
- RickyRicardo : Well said QRunc. And thanks for the support Friend, but I don't go that way. I've been looking Kim, and if any of it is supposed to offend me in any way, then it sure hasn't done its job.
- Bitch face : Retardo thinks his shit is special. Gay friend you must think that as well?
- RickyRicardo : Yes, my arrogance is clearly visible in my posts, and when providing information that turns out to be true. I'm not telling you what to think or what to say, but at least have the decency to take a step back, and realise that this is a family shoutbox where deliberations regarding NRL occur and not personal slanging matches. As I said before, if you keep it up, you sure as heck will not be here any longer.
- Gay friend : Ricky sniffs my ass. Jess you up for 3s?
- Gay friend : Leave Ricky alone you nasty people. Ha can be hard if he feels like it. This is his site. He is the brains & no one else know league like my Ricky .
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : everyones different everyone handle things different they need perspective and realise that who cares everyone thinks people difefrent and we aint here to sniff each others ass and like everyone person we see or tlk to
- Kim : Cast your eye over all what's been said about you rippy.
- Guest_2142 : Ha retardo eat shit DUDE.
- Kim : Well said bitch face.
- Bitch face : Rippy Retardo you ass clown. Your the bigest arrogant fuck around. Lots of people are seeing you for the phoney you are. You keep saying how your so above it all then you come out have a bitch. You can't handle the trueth about yourself. Ass clown.
- Guest_ : I dont want to go to school.. :(, it's such hard work. I would rather play footy.
- RickyRicardo : Thanks Wombat! Unfortunately they'll always be as arrogant as always, but I'm not concerned. They don't need to listen if they don't want to.
- RickyRicardo : I think they will Guest. Mitchell Pearce will will have another years experience and he'll be keen to erase the demons of last year and get another Origin spot. Plus I think the Roosters have one of the best sides on paper along with the Storm, Bulldogs and Eels. Obviously teams on paper don't mean results, but if they play to their potential, they'll be up there.
- Jess. : Yeah, Titans, Tigers, Warriors
- Guest_84 : Any other clubs?
- Guest_84 : Roosters also have twitter.
- NRL News : Follow us on Twitter in 2010. Simply connect with www.twitter.com/ nrlnews
- Jess. : Carney was a terrible buy. A repeat offender with no sign of remorse. Hopefully it works out for the Roosters, but he is a very big gamble! If he pulls his head in, he could be great. He certainly needs to do alot to prove himself
- Guest_ : Ricky, do you really think Roosters will come 4th even if you think the Carney to fullback wont work.
- wombat : if all you clowns have such a big problems with who RickyRicardo is and how he gets his info why don't all do us a favor and go elsewhere, we are happy with the service he provides.
- RickyRicardo : Good to have you back too Jess!! Did I? I did it all in one go and quick as I could, so obviously there would have had to have been one mistake here or there Hehe.
- RickyRicardo : Thank you to all for your comments. Unfortunately, down the track, you will no longer be posting here.
- Jess. : Ricky there is an error in your 2010 preview, in Manly's article you said "Jason Perry" It's either Jason King or Josh Perry.
- Jess. : I was just reading back every comment made so far, that's for my comment about Jake Friend.
- Jess. : And i'm a girl dipshit!
- Jess. : No I used to be a regular on here for a long time, I haven't been on in a while
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : YAY mason declined YAY
- Guest_2142 : Once again old news about Mason. It's been posted that Manly aren't interested. NQ is his last hope or stay with Roisters.
- Diniel : We used to sing a song called " bag a fag" ha ha.
- RickyRicardo : Manly pulled out of the rade QRunc.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : willy isnt goin to MANLY ?
- Big Bad : Jess is a guy guest. I don't think he is batting on the same side as u & I. He plays on rickys side.
- Guest_1227T : Jess uR not Whos daughter Ru? That would mean uR Jess Who. Ha ha
- Guest_ : That was random about jake friend, jess. I think Hunt will be terrible at AFL.
- Jess. : I cannot stand Jake Friend! Oh and Ricky, There will be a pre season Gay-FL game in Lismore, between the Gold Coast and someone else, Im thinking of turning up just to see Karmichael. What do you think?
- Jess. : it was panic stations here for a minute!!
- Jess. : YES YES YES WILLIE HAS BEEN DENIED BY US!! PHEWW!
- Jess. : Hey everyone Jess here!
- RickyRicardo : I don't think there is an age limit 1124. You just go to the clinic/s and see what you can do.
- RickyRicardo : Chris*
- RickyRicardo : Willie Mason now a Sea Eagle? The Sea Eagles pulled out of the race. Thanks CCrhsi!!
- Guest_337 : Willie Mason now a Sea Eagle
- Guest_1227T : Mason 2 NQ. MayB the best thing 4 him. He might wake up and realise how goog he had it at the Roosters.
- Kim : Do Masons last hope is North Qld. Can't see Mason partying hard up north. So why wount he just stay. Lifes good at Roosters. Fight hard andaybe be a better player for it.
- Guest_1124 : How old do you have to be to go Tigers and Roosters foundation cup coaching clinic, and meet the players? Do you have to do the coaching clinic? Or can you just do auto graphs and photos.
- Chris : My prediction would be . 1. Bulldogs 2. Storm 3. Eels 4. Tigers 5. Roosters 6. Dragons 7. Broncos 8. Rabbitohs 9. Panthers 10. Titans 11. Manly 12. Cowboys 13. Knights 14. Sharks 15. Raiders 16. Warriors.
- Chris : I mean Knights at 15.
- Chris : So, 1. Bulldogs 2. Eels 3. Storm 4. Roosters 5. Panthers 6.Dragons 7. Titans 8. Broncos 9. Rabbitohs 10. Raiders 11. Tigers 12. Warriors 13. Cowboys 14. Manly 15 Raiders 16. Sharks. Nice prediction Ricky
- Chris : Yeah, Sharks will most likely be contenders for the spoon and also Raiders and Warriors i think.
- Chris : Really good work Ricky for 2010 season preview. It was really good. Sea Eagles to finish 14th? I hope that happens.
- RickyRicardo : Good news for the Eels fans out there with Fui Fui Moi Moi and Luke Burt re-signing for two more years.
- wadey : hey all, gettin close now. good on the nrl puttin on a double header on the central coast. cant wait
- Diniel : Ha ha Ricky RIPardo does it again.
- RickyRicardo : Only one way to find out. All good. Catch ya later dude.
- Guest_3521 : Sorry, i have to go, nice talking to you. Bye.
- Guest_3521 : Yes, well he proved he was a great coach last year, hopefully he can do it again but 1 thing more better.
- RickyRicardo : Some tough decisions for DA coming up this year and next.
- Guest_3521 : Yeah thats what i was thinking too. Hard choice they are both very good.
- RickyRicardo : Depends really. Grothe can play as an extra forward on the wing, but Inu has a strong partnership with Tahu stemming back a few years. It depends on the style DA wants to play. I'l probably go with Grothe though because of his ball-running skills.
- Guest_3521 : Oh ok, who would you rather see go?
- RickyRicardo : That's been around for a while as well, and it seems like it'll the Bulldogs if he goes anywhere. Then there's the Grothe to Japan rumours.
- Guest_3521 : And warriors.
- Guest_3521 : What about Inu, rumours could be going to Roosters or Dogs in 11
- RickyRicardo : It's a bit quiet dude, apart from the usual Mason saga, Mateo to the Warriors, it seems to be a bit quiet.
- Guest_3521 : Thanks mate, what team should we talk about now? got any info?
- RickyRicardo : It all depends on how players perform in the trials. If Paea plays well he stays. If he plays poorly and Maseo plays better, than Maseo starts.
- Guest_3521 : Ah thanks mate. gGood to hear. Could Maseo really make Paea miss out. But again that depends on the trials.
- RickyRicardo : Graham and Symonds should be fit by the start of the season, so I'd put him in the 17. Paea might be the one to miss out for Maseo if anything. Graham would either replace SKD on the wing, or Leilua in the centrse. But a good team dude!!
- Guest_3521 : was a shoe in for the 17*
- Guest_3521 : Symonds to replace Maseo/ Conn .. but i head maseo wa7.s a shoe in for the 1
- Guest_3521 : Thanks, whats your thoughts on my team.. Will graham be there in round 1
- RickyRicardo : Symonds should be there come Rd 1.
- Guest_3521 : Thats how it would be only if, Symonds, JWH and Graham will miss round 1 and JWH will def miss it.
- Guest_3521 : 1. Carney 2. Minichiello 3. Leilua 4. SKD 5. Perrett 6. Anasta 7. Pearce 8. Nuuasala 9, AUubusson 10. Ryles 11. Cherrington 12. Aubusson 13. Myles bench 14. Koups 15. Paea 16. Kennedy 17. Maseo/Conn
- Guest_3521 : I know everyone is not going to happy when they read this but what can i do, i love my team and wanna see your thoughts. With injuries to JWH, Symonds?? and Graham(back injury could miss round 1) i think the team is looking like this. An i didnt pick those players i mentioned if i did they woulld def be in it so here it goess and again sorry if u dont support them. ^^
- a5o : Ok, thanks Ricky, i'll check it out.
- RickyRicardo : Have a look on your club's website a5o and it should tell you how much it'll cost. If it doesn't, give them a call and see if you can talk to someone who might be able to tell you how much it'll cost.
- RickyRicardo : Actually 3619, you will see that the other person said that he was offered an incentive based deal for 1 year, and NOT that he had actually officially signed or was rumoured to have signed.
- a5o : Does anyone know how much it cost to watch a NRL trial match, hopefully it's free. Thank You
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : hindys da man <3
- Bruce : Nah Hindmarsh
- Guest 3619 : Bruce who is uR wifes favorite player at Eels? Am guessing Hayne or Mortimer.
- Guest 3619 : Brucey babe what u up 2 homy G.
- Bruce : Hello sexy
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : omg last year shark rookie ferguson replace hodges in all stars that be a nice one.... was some nice rookies last year e.g dugan ferguson croker
- Guest 3619 : Gee Ricky another guest posted that info days before you. Post new info mate.
- Bruce : Hope you are wrong mate
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : hope that mason rumour is wrong
- RickyRicardo : The Warriors are also believed to have offered Feleti Mateo some huge money to play for them in 2011.
- RickyRicardo : Currently an unconfirmed rumour doing the rounds that Mason has already signed with the Sea Eagles. Another rumour is that he'll sign within a week.
- Bruce : woot woot!
- Mr Akuma : Howdy Happy!!!!
- Happy Dragon : Bring on Charity Shield, can't wait!
- Happy Dragon : Hey Mr Akuma, where have you been, long time no hear???
- Guest_3532 : Mose Masoe is having a brilliant off season and will be in the 17 -heard it from a board member.
- Mr Akuma : Panthers will be first to be crushed by the 'Machine' then the little ponies!!!!!!
- Mr Akuma : NOT LONG TO GO 4 DA SEASON!!!! WHOO HOO!!!
- Bruce : Nah from Melbourne. My mrs is from NSW. I'm an AFL man so NRL is new to me. My mrs is a Parra supporter, I like to keep it interesting.
- Guest 3619 : How long you been folowing Chocks?
- Guest 3619 : Thought you from country NSW?
- Bruce : Nah mate. Not my thing. Why you ask?
- Guest 3619 : Hey Bruce u in2 country music?
- Guest_1227T : Guest 3619 thanks 4 news on Mason. Heard similar reports.
- Bruce : When is kick off?
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : cant wait till kickoff so there stuff to talk about lol
- Bruce : AGREE. Fans and clubs will think much more of him if he applies himself and gets back to his best. Be a role model, step up and show respect to himself and his fans.
- Guest_1227T : Mason should B a man and stay at Roosters. Do what ever it takes to learn 4m BS. Show every1 that he can turn around this situation. Get back 2 his best. 4get about party time and become a true leader.
- Guest 3619 : Bruce, news flash dude. All clubs R clicky. What do u think of Mason mate?
- Guest 3619 : Beuce, news flash dude. All clubs R clicky. What do u think of Mason mate?
- Bruce : Roosters is a boys club Guest. They don't just kick out their own
- Guest 3619 : All you Manlt supporters should make your voice heard. The last thing you need is Mason at the club. Another club like the Roostets who is getting back on track.
- Guest 3619 : Talk is Mason will end up at Manly. Sign 4 1 year deal with incentive based.
- Guest 3619 : It has nothing 2 do with BS. The players themself have come 2 a conclusion the club is better off without Mason or more so his bad influance.
- RickyRicardo : Colin Best is set to re-sign with the Bunnies for 2 more years.
- RickyRicardo : Ruben Wiki is involved with League again after being named as one of NZ's managers.
- RickyRicardo : Once again, BS reneges on an initial idea. Looks like Willie Mason will no longer be a Rooster.
- Guest_1051 : moyso likes little kids
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : what sport do you's think is the most over paid?
- RickyRicardo : I still think Maubs should start. With Fitzgibbon gone, he is the Roosters best defender.
- Chris : Went to the coaching clinic heres what brian smith had to say about BJ Leilua - he couldnt stop wrapping this kid. Even pointed him out again to me in the autograph session. Training the house down and reckons he might even start in the centres. Big lad - very impressive.
- Chris : Lock would be perfect for Myles so he can make 40+ tackles a game and not hae to focus on his attack as much. I wouldn't have him at second row as he doesnt have the build, speed or the attacking ability needed to hit holes out wide. Id like to see Cherrington, Symonds, JWH and Conn all be used as this role.
- Guest_1017 : Myles at lock, hmmm, there's going to be some competition for that spot what with MAubs, Conn, Guerra and Baiteri.
- Guest_3100 : Dont be surprised to see that team for round 1. I am 100% right.
- Guest_3100 : 1. Carney 2. Minichiello 3. Kenny-Dowall 4. Graham 5. Perrett 6. Anasta 7. Pearce 8. Nuuasala 9. Aubusson 10. Ryles 11. Cherrington 12. Symonds 13. Myles Bench 14. Paea 15. Kouparitas 16. M.Aubusson 17. Kennedy
- Guest 3619 : Yes true Kennedy has the right attitude to go to the top of his game. Don't get me wrong I rate him very high. But at their very best. Boyd Cordoner can be a 9 even 9.5 where Kennedy I believe is 8.5 maybe 9.
- RickyRicardo : Tom Symonds has been a revelation for the Roosters. Even from his first game in FG, you could tell he was going to be something special and he certainly showed that!!
- RickyRicardo : The major reason why Kennedy has the edge over Cordner at this point in time, is his attitude. Kennedy is much more composed and relaxed, whereas at least from what I have seen, Cordner can sometimes tend to rush plays or try to make a play that results in nothing. But having said that, if the Roosters get a couple of injuries over the course of the season, he will definitely get a crack.
- Guest 3619 : Off 2 sleep. Good Night mate.
- Guest 3619 : J Ford has good wraps out of the knights NYC ha. Brad Tata kicks goals for a big unit very handy pick up. Every game 4 souths that I watched 2009 NYC , he had his hand in setting up or score himslfe. Aaron Gorrell would be a good pick up if we can fit him under the cap.
- Guest 3619 : Realy liked everything I seen of Tom Symonds. Can run a hole. BS is good at getting players running the lines. Kuoparitsas is a very good ball playing Lock/ Second. Repots he might play Hooker. Liam Foran alos trainning hard. Mitch Aubusson is 1 of my favorite player. Under rated 4 the work load he gets through in a game.
- Chris : Yes Guerra, wouldn't be surprised to see him crack a spot in the starting 17.
- Chris : John*
- Chris : Few other guys who should be getting big wraps are, n Leiataua , Johnathon Ford, Brad Takairangi and Luke Towers.
- Guest 3619 : Heard Aidan Guerra was taining at centre. Solid player goes under the radar much like Steve Turner.
- Chris : Yes heard about him, also Steve Naughton we have signed, he won Raiders NYC player of the year.
- Guest 3619 : Heard great things about Hughie Stanley a mix between Inglis & Hodges. He has a lot 2 learn about the game and fittness as well as mental side to NRL.
- Chris : Alot of good juniors Roosters have cant wait till they all play FG. Cordner was the one that injured Hargreaves. His a big fella.
- Guest 3619 : Young kid Joseph Leuluia has big wraps from Bennett. The Roosters have him coming up soon. Ricky Boyd Cordoner is a better prospect than Martin Kennedy. The kid breaks the line, off loads, sets up players & is so hard to stop 10m out from try line. He is allready a monster at 17. Taller than Kennedy. Will bulk up in next 2 years will be big as Willie Mason.
- Chris : If Carney at 5/8. 1. Mini 2. Perrett 3. Maubs 4. Graham 5. SKD
- Chris : If he does- 1.Carney 2.Mini 3. Graham 4. Perrett 5. SKD or Skd to centre and Perrett to wing?
- Chris : Alot depends on Carney if his playing fullback or not.
- Guest 3619 : The way I c it Chris we have a wing spot up 4 grabs. SKD is good but lacks the hunger at times. If Perrett has one wing & williamson is out i'd give this kid a shot. C him 4 Sts NYC he is good.
- RickyRicardo : Williamson is out indefinitely to get his head right. He has a couple of issues to deal with, and will come back when the club decides the time is right.
- RickyRicardo : Linnett is still at the Roosters, he was just agitated at the lack of opportunities in the NSW Cup/NRL.
- Chris : Ricky has sources and speaks to some people in the NRL. I dont think Linnett will get a shot unless injuries or bad form.
- Guest 3619 : Ricky find out from you source at the Roosters if you don't mind. I believe Kane Linnett to be a play that can be similar to a Brett Mullins.
- Guest 3619 : Yes I read that. But that doesn't realy tell me anything chris. Ricky where you hear info from?? Or is it a guess?
- Chris : And i'm sure Linnett is still at Roosters/Jets. He was just fed up with having to wait so long to get a crack at NSWcup/NRL. Thanks to Ricky, for giving out that information.
- Chris : Alot of questions by Roosters fans, Good to know there is still supporters out there even though winning the spoon in 09.
- Guest 3619 : Hope BS gives these young guys a go. In time having played NRL these name will become the next gen. of super stars.
- Guest 3619 : What's the word on Williamson & Friend. When is Ryan back. And will Friend be at the club once he is got himself together?
- Guest 3619 : So is Linnett still at the Roosters? Did he break contract?
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : looks like there some nice rookies starting especially the sharks
- RickyRicardo : He did yes, but there was some talk of him being fed up with having to wait so long to get a crack in the NSW Cup/NRL.
- Chris : What do you mean IF Linnett is still there? Didn't he just sign?
- RickyRicardo : Best prospect out of the current crop of NYC players is Martin Kennedy. He is similar in some ways to Nathan Hindmarsh in defence but is a great ball-runner as well. And Linnett, I'm not sure if he still there. If he is, he'll be playing at Newtown yes.
- Guest 3619 : So who in your opp. is the best prospect??
- Guest 3619 : Hey any one know if Kane Linnett is still at the Roosters? Is he playing 4 Newtown first up?
- RickyRicardo : And I expect Stanley to be in NYC all year.
- RickyRicardo : Whilst Cordner is a good player, he isn't the greatest prospect coming out of the Roosters NYC side, and the positions that he plays are already full with other candidates.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : how long till kick off ?
- Guest_828 : Anyone know if Hughie Stanley will play UN20s or FG?
- Guest_828 : Superstar*
- Guest_828 : Everyone watch out for Boyd Cordner, He is a freak. A great player, very very strong also. He is a born superstart, his only 17 or 18 years old and he should make his debut some stage this year.
- RickyRicardo : Maubs is perhaps the club's best defender now that Fitzy has left. He has to play at lock.
- Guest_5223 : He told me Conn was training the house down, and really wants to play FG. And he was trainging at lock. And i did Maubs/Conn. Maubs will get the first shot no doubt.
- Guest_5223 : Well then swap Koups and FPN. Last year Roosters had Paea at 14 and Jaubs at 17 so thats why i did that.
- RickyRicardo : team, Koups would be the utility*
- RickyRicardo : I can't see why Daniel Conn would get a start seriously. He was bought by the Roosters as a back-up forward. If there was injuries, then Conn would play. I know for a fact that that is why they bought him. Purely for back-up. Symonds has to start if BS wants him to play in the second row. Otherwise he can be the utility as he can play centre, wing, five-eighth, front row and second row. FPN is a front row forward so he won't be number 14. A utility is generally number 14, meaning that in that
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : ranga hhha grose
- Guest_5223 : Tom Symonds, the tall wranga. Future rep and captain.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : who iz symonds?
- Guest_5223 : Also Aiden Guerru training at Centre too an 2nd row.
- Guest_5223 : Cherrington might be start and Symonds on the bench.
- Guest_5223 : 1. Carney 2. Mini 3.. SKD 4. Graham 5. Perrett 6. Anasta 7. Pearce 8. Paea 9. Jaubs 10. Ryles 11. Myles 12. Symonds 13. Conn/Maubs bench 14. FPN 15 Kennedy 16. Cherrington 17. Koups
- Guest_5223 : Ive spoken to Brian Smith and the team is headed like this ^
- Liamm. : wheree did u hear that from?
- Guest_1227T : Aaron Gorrell might be headed to Roosters.
- Guess_Who : Me either. I just make shit up and talk shit because I'm so cool yeah yeah yeah
- RickyRicardo : I don't even know what the guy is on about.
- RickyRicardo : He was, but he has been working on his defence and ball-running skills since the new year and Smith is a fan of his and so might give him the second row spot.
- Diniel : How does this Bozy know about us Ricky?
- Guest_Who : All Bozy should be I bed. Too late for youa to be up. Don't make me chop chop you. Then your papar will cry " Who done this to Bozy".
- Chris : But wasn't Koups going to be the utility on the bench?
- RickyRicardo : And I think if it's anyone, it'd be Koupa that will replace Hargreaves off the bench and if BS is indeed willing to give Mason another go, then he will start in the second row.
- RickyRicardo : Not just because of that Chris. BS is willing to give Mason a chance to prove himself.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : watmough matai attacked at matais residents... jared was become a real head in the nrl now he is out till round 4 wil not make to all stars
- Chris : I wouldn't be to surprised to see Aiden Gurreu to replace him. I saw him and his a monster, and training the house down. Or Daniel Conn said he wants to play FG so it might be him. OH just thought. Ricky you said Mason might be staying maybe becasue Hargreaves is out a few rounds?
- Chris : OMG, worst news ever. Jared Waerea-Hargreave s out round 4.
- Mason : Maybe that's a good thing about Mason. If he doesnt prove himself in the first 5 games, well NSW cup here he comes.
- RickyRicardo : Anthony Watmough and Steve Matai were bashed by three men. They appear to have gotten away with no serious injuries though.
- RickyRicardo : Well so far no offers have been made by any other club. And apparently BS is willing to give him a chance to prove himself, so who knows.
- Guest_Who : Should I cry likea ricky because somea on is writing using my mane. May be write in bold letters.
- Chris : ??, Mason to stay at roosters? are you sure it's not newtown?
- RickyRicardo : And looks like Mason might be staying at the Roosters after all!!
- RickyRicardo : I know Matt Prior and I've met and talked to Nathan Fien, Ben Hornby and former Dragon Wendell Sailor. Apart from them, I only ever stay in contact with my contact at the Dragons.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : mason should pee off outta nrl
- Happy Dragon : Do you know any players from Dragons Ricky, if so who???
- Happy Dragon : God I hope the Dragons aren't after Mason, pls NO!!!!
- RickyRicardo : Who knows dude. Who knows. First Robinson has to recover from his injury, get his fitness back up and then clubs can take it from there.
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : robinson replacing weller haurki? wth
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : and i believe the nrl should pay to fly in players grandparents, parents, siblings or children.... that live away. at a maximum of 2 per a time every now and again
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : and what is chad robinson doing ? is in getting back into the nrl or has he finished at 29yrs old
- qldsRuncvlisedEELZ : how many dayz til kick off xactly round 1
- qldrsR-uncivilised : damn
- RickyRicardo : Rumour has it also that Mason is being targeted by the Sharks/Dragons. All I'm hearing is further south than Manly, so who knows how south they're talking about.
- RickyRicardo : I know quite a few players from several teams, mostly the NSW teams and I have at least one contact/source at every NRL club. It takes some time to build it all up, but it's worth it at the end of the day.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : santa
- Guess_Who : Love me true because I already do
- qldrsR-uncivilised : yer obviously but have to b more than that
- Mason : Speaks to the players?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : oh were do u get ur info from ?
- Mason : Oh ok, that's nice. May i ask what job you do?
- RickyRicardo : They won't see that unfortunately QR-unc. It's their own fault really if they don't want to believe it.
- RickyRicardo : I'm not too sure of the lot of the names either but they have guys like Watmough, Bailey, Perry, King, Rose, Kite etc. to cover both front row nad back row spots.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : cant ppl see that 90% off wat ricky says is true and before the media
- qldrsR-uncivilised : i think ricky does this for fun but does work in the nrl
- qldrsR-uncivilised : Yer i thought this eason was quick to come back unlike last season i waiting for years it seemed lol.. what date is the kick off round 1
- Chris : Okay Mason, I didnt really take notice about that anyway.
- Mason : And everyone thinks i love Mason, My name is actually Mason.
- Mason : Is this your job Ricky? Or do you work for NRL and do this?
- Chris : Who are the clubs that got 5 live games on channel 9? For the first 5 games.
- Chris : Who do they have? Watmough and this other guy that play's 5/8 too? Sorry dont really know there backrow line up
- RickyRicardo : To be honest, I'm not sure. They already have an array of backrowers to choose from, so if Mason arrives, it could see some of their other players become fed up with the lack of first-team opportunity and they might leave.
- Chris : I wouldn't be to surprised actually.
- Chris : Mason to Manly?? Do you reckon might turn out like the Storm. Sea Eagles might come out and say its false too? It would give them a good backrow but.
- Chris : Woo only 50 something more days till NRL returns. It's gone quiet fast.
- RickyRicardo : And there's a rumour doing the rounds that Willie Mason has signed with the Manly Sea Eagles.
- RickyRicardo : It's not only for 48 hours. The site administrator has the option to ban them for as long as he sees fit.
- Chris : Or like pay $1, then will truely get rid of the. But it would bring down the rating on this site and fans. But it is worth it, Ricky give pretty good information. And it's only $1 anyway.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : its only for 48hrs though. they should make that u have to register to make a name and chat on here like how impossible
- Bruce : Let's hope when MSN crawl this site they ban the idiots
- qldrsR-uncivilised : look at liam backing the f.wits and he is supposeliny a lil boy what a f..face
- Liam : Ricky you shouldn't have carried on like cry baby.
- Identity : Ha ha chris is so right. Bruce & fag boy it's going to get better now.
- Bruce : No sir please foget me and it's all Ricky. He is the ass clown.
- Bitch Face : Fuck with me then you fuck with all the boz. Brucy baby you want to dance.
- Bruce : Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend.
- Diniel : Fuck you Ricky yout r fag& Bruce you old fart.
- RickyRicardo : They're not going to mock anyone after they're permanently banned from coming onto this shoutbox ever again.
- RickyRicardo : I know it wasn't Mason. When you've been on here as long as I, you know when a person is pretending to be someone else.
- RickyRicardo : Haven't heard that rumour Chris, but I wouldn't be surprised if Inu did in fact leave. I think with Tahu back, his days are close to numbered unless he can pull off some stellar games.
- Mason : I agree with Bruce. And by the way Ricky i didn't say that to you before.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : now there gunna mock ya bruceo
- Bruce : I agree. Let's make a stand and stop this crap. Any rude comment we'll just ignore. Not bite back. That's what these losers want. From now, I won't respond to any of that crap!
- qldrsR-uncivilised : yay take inu i dont want him.... selfish player
- Chris : There is a rumor doing the rounds that if we off load Mason we will sign up Inu for the 2010 season. Is that true Ricky?
- Mason : The last two comments werent be. Someone used my name.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : there just jealous they dont have the job ricky does.... you's should just be thankful that you get info off him b4 the papers
- qldrsR-uncivilised : hey ricky you should look in to who these ppls are cuz you may very well those these ppl for the fact the sort off stuff they abuse you about that cant be found over this site
- qldrsR-uncivilised : I dont understand how so many people are saying what they are saying and where they get there thoughts from to abuse ricky. we are all on here to chat to him and see what info he and other have on the nrl before it is bought out via paper tele.
- Late : The roosters are getting free to air spots because they came last. Are people going to pay for the team coming last or To see Parra Bulldogs etc.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : no way he has 3 more years
- RickyRicardo : Anyone think Kimmorley has three more years in him? Or is his time up after this season?
- RickyRicardo : Keith Galloway is also an early favourite to gain an Origin spot for NSW barring injury or suspension.
- RickyRicardo : Now for some NRL related material! The Broncos seem to have maintained the faith with Ivan Henjak for the time being with his deal being extended until the end of 2012. Clinton Toopi has been training with the Titans and coach John Cartwright is a keen admirer of the former Warrior. Fan outrage as the Roosters dominate the free-to-air viewings, despite their wooden spoon last year.
- RickyRicardo : Also, at the end of the day, none of you that are 'bagging' me out have ever seen me, met me or know me, so you wouldn't know the first thing about me. Secondly, if your life consists of going around and reading every single comment that I write, followed by your incoherent retorts, then you really need to get a move on with your own life before you start to even think about criticising mine and what I write here on the NRLNews Shoutbox.
- RickyRicardo : There is no reason why you can't say what you want, I won't hold it against you. Say what you want and think what you want, the fact of the matter is, is that if you keep it up, you will be long gone from this site. It's as simple as that. Don't like the information that I have to pass on from other clubs, then pay no attention to it. But please do not come running back to apologise once you realise that what I said many moons ago, actually happens.
- RickyRicardo : I could reply to some of these comments, but that would simply be a waste of my time as I have better things to do as well as work to do, so I'm not going to bother.
- Bruce : Top 4 for Chooks in twenty ten!
- Diniel : HD you get a life. Your not HAPPY at all. Change your name to NAPPY DRAGON. Ha ha.
- Happy Dragon : To all the idiots who keep bagging Ricky, go get a life people? If u don't like what he has 2 say, then go elsewhere!!!!
- Happy Dragon : Sorry Mason don't agree! BS won't make that much difference 2 the Roosters, maybe give them 12mths?
- Mason : Think it will be justified in the year. Roosters should be a top four team.
- Diniel : Ha ha Ricky blow it. Ha blow it good.
- Liam : Hello all. That would be correct. There is lots of interest on the Roosters right now.
- Mason : Think David Gingell head of 9 is on the Roosters board so that could be it. Ricky you do love blowing your own horn dude. Ha what a fuck.
- Guest_2160 : Why have the Roosters got 5 free to air games this season. Their wooden spooners. The Dragons Eels Dogs should get 1st choice.
- Bitch Face : Bet Ricky will coment later start with " I'm not even going to reply to those comments" but he then goes on and on tell all how good he is. Big TOOL.
- Mitch : Ricky likes blowing something else.
- Diniel : I was joking Ricky when I said gosh how you must work hard. And that's all it took for you to blow your own horn.
- Diniel : Ha ha ass clown Ricky.
- Mitch : Ass clown 4 sure.
- Kim : It's sick how much you love yourself.
- Mitch : I second that.
- Bitch Face : You think your so good don't you ricky. You love tell everyone how much effort you go to keep us informed. You are an A grade fucker. I'm starting to see what these others are saying about you u ass clown. Just post what you got dick head. We don't need to know where you are or what guy your fucking.
- RickyRicardo : A mix between work and leisure so it's not too bad.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : wholly gosh overseas and still hard at it on here. you must be there for work
- Bruce : Bring on NRL twenty ten!!!
- RickyRicardo : Thanks Bruce!!
- RickyRicardo : Just trying to keep other NRL supporters in the loop.
- Bruce : Thanks for keeping online while abroad. Good news is good news no matter what country it is posted from.
- Diniel : Gosh Ricky you must be real inportant like. Woh your overseas and even though your busy you post news to us. Gee what a guy.
- RickyRicardo : Haven't seen the tabloid Francis, and I'm a bit busy as I'm overseas at the moment. When I get a spare minute, I will have a look at it.
- RickyRicardo : And I was on here around yesterday afternoon, so it hasn't been that long. Good to see you back NRL!!
- RickyRicardo : Well if there's news about the Tigers, then I will post it here. For now though, they seem to be safe.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : yew!!!
- Mason : Thurston will be going to Union.
- Chris : Yep, that's mostly it.
- NRL : Not much, Mostly about Thurston and Mason.
- NRL : Yeah it was my first week Oh well, anynews in the footy?
- Chris : Oh ok, did you just get back from holidays?
- NRL : Yeah i know, ive been busy with work. And season is over to. Didn't think much would be on.
- Chris : Hey NRL, been awhile.
- NRL : Alright.
- Mason : Either, Eels, Titans, Tigers and Roosters love them all.
- NRL : Parramatta Eels, What about you?
- Mason : Never spoken to you mate, who do you support?
- NRL : Havent been on here for abit.. How is everyone?
- Mason : Ricky my good friend. You havent been on in awhile.. Whats going on, i wanna speak to you.
- Mason : Yeah he does.
- Bruce : Really needs to tame that bad temper hey.
- Mason : Dont think so, there was rumours Broncos but he just signed a 2 year deal.
- Bruce : Are any clubs interested in Ricky for 2011?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : not hate QLD is hate QLd HAPPYDRAGON
- NZTiger : As long as Ricky stays clear of the Wests Tigers, I'll be happy.
- francis : hi ricky, could u confirm the existance of said aussie tabloid. .."australia today"??
- RickyRicardo : Looks like Ricky Stuart could be headed elsewhere in 2011 as well.
- RickyRicardo : I would think that they would take him back in a heartbeat, but it's difficult to say.
- francis : if he has been refused, would the borncoes be obliged to take him back??
- francis : i was also under the impression he had been a good boy , as it were, so the story comes as a surprise.
- RickyRicardo : Haven't heard or seen the story Francis, but I can't remember Clinton being involved in any indiscretional matters.
- francis : australia today??
- francis : williams urquart matthews??
- francis : been mentioned on another forum that some tabloid reporter in aus mentioned he has been refused for some previous indiscrection
- RickyRicardo : but given that he has to my belief, no serious criminal record, he should be able to get through the visa regulations to play in England.
- RickyRicardo : In relation to your question, I am yet to hear any news regarding Clinton's visa, bu
- RickyRicardo : Welcome to the forums Guest 850. Make yourself a name and become a regular for starters.
- RickyRicardo : And in relation to Gasnier, it seems to be all over the place. First there were rumours he was definitely coming back, then there were some that he was maybe coming back, then not coming back at all.
- Guest_850 : sorry to just but in , and if its been mentioned before i apologise for being less than diligent. has anyone heard if joel clintons visa has been refused for super league??
- RickyRicardo : If he gets an offer from Japan, I think he will probably take it given that it will also give his band more exposure. At the same time though, the Eels have been good to him and DA is a big fan of his, so there is the chance that he may also stay. It is too hard to say right now.
- Happy Dragon : Hey Ricky, do u have any info whether Gasnier will come back or not?
- Happy Dragon : Don't forget about us old farts on here also, LOL!
- Happy Dragon : Hey 1227T, you're not Hate Qld by any chance???
- Bruce : You think he'll stay given the opportunity even if the $$ is better in Japan?
- RickyRicardo : Grothe was leaving, but now it´s one of those things that seems to be all over the place. If he gets an offer from Japan, he will most likely end up going, but if he has the chance to stay at the Eels, then he will.
- RickyRicardo : There is that possibility that Burt could play as a utility off the bench yes and it could very well work. I think that position is more likely to go to Eels NYC player Anthony Mitchell. He has been playing well over the last year or two in both the NYC and the NSW Cup for the Magpies, so Iºd expect to see him there.
- Guest_1227T : Late night freak show. People have a rest pls.
- Guest_Who : Oh I too trying to remember something like that. Oh mmmm.
- Happy Dragon : I am wet!! No I spilt my drink. I remembered when I was like that. A Rooster fan I mean.

- qldrsR-uncivilised : i read papr everyday lol
- Mason : How old r most of yous?
- Mason : Do you guys read the Daily Telegraph?? It's all rumours what they say that hasn't been offical.
- Mason : Woo titans an eels but Manly :(. You know wat i actually live in Manly, Brookvale but i just dont like them.
- Mason : What are you talking about 1227T?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : i support manly titans eels
- qldrsR-uncivilised : who knows having a life unlike us HAHAHA
- Mason : Where's Ricky tonight?
- Guest_1227T : Bruce, Mason,3521 or Chris. Hmm?
- Mason : Alright mate, i support. Titans, Eels, Roosters and Tigers love them all.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : mason off overseas ? yay bye bye u girl
- Mason : Has JP DU Plessis arrived in Australia yet?
- Guest_1227T : Gee Bruce u ask the hard questions. If I was 2 guess about 12 inchs with or without the licence. After all he is Big Willie ha ha.
- Guest_1227T : Used 2 follow the Eels but some of their so cold fans R 1 eyed & reality is all the clubs R the same. So i'M freelancing at the moment. u Mason what's uR choice?
- Bruce : How long is he without a licence?
- Bruce : Willie just needs to shape up. Too bad BS doesn't want him, he is a good player that Big bad Willy
- Guest_1227T : He has 2 keep himself fit some how. Does he not? ??Was he heading 2 Bondi Junction?May B he Trained it Bcause he lost his driver licence
- Mason : May i ask why your name is that?
- Mason : What team do you go for 1227T?
- Guest_1227T : Now now Bruce take a chill pill(s). May I suggest both the RED & BLUE.
- Mason : Training*
- Mason : I did not actually say I saw Mason trainging with Roosters, i just said Trainging.
- Guest_1227T : Cause u smell cheese. Pls don't tell us what kind of cheese u smelt. Well if u seen it then that's a twist 2 the hole BS V Mason.
- Bruce : U are a loser
- Guest_1227T : u the Ricky of the Roosters Club?
- Mason : OMG, i just saw Mason training. How am i a rat???
- Guest_1227T : So u must B the Big RAT that I ref. 2 then?
- Mason : Huh, i didn't watch that. I saw Willie Mason trainging with my own eyes and not on TV.
- Guest_1227T : That was footage of him from last year. u Re: the TV news flash?
- Mason : And i am not Willie Mason if someone asks.
- Mason : I smell CHEESE
- Mason : And BTW people dont believe THe daily telegragh it all rumours.
- Mason : surprised*
- Guest_1227T : I smell a RAT.
- Mason : Brian Smith is playing mind games people, Mason is actually training and im not joking, ive seen it with my own eyes. Dont be surpriced to see Mason selected for round 1.
- Guest_1227T : Has Tahu got a cape tat on his back. Oh ha.
- Guest_1227T : What's Rohan Smiths record as a coach like?? He looks a lot like the old man. What his mannerism like? Know he was Knights NYC coach last season under BS 2.
- Chris : Woops spelt my name Chrs.
- Guest_1227T : What's happened 2 Diniel. Have not cN many postings.
- Chrs : It's mostly becasue there is two big issues at Roosters regarding Mason and Carney and also Ryan Williamson but much wouldn't really know about that. And there is not much else news about any other club. But there is the Thurston saga an also which players is taking illegal medication.
- Chrs : That's ok HD, i forgive you.
- Chrs : I thought Grothe was leaving before. What happen to that? and didn't you mention that Burt COULD play a Utility roll on the bench? So either Inu could stay.
- Chrs : 1227T, I would much rather Mason to go Japan, France or England then stay. But back in the days in 03 and 04 i would love him to stay, but things change.
- RickyRicardo : And in regards to Inu, he is definitely under pressure to perform with Tahu breathing down his neck, otherwise he may find himself at a new club.
- RickyRicardo : Mason will most likely head overseas. It is really his only option as BS does not want him at the Roosters, the Storm do not want him at their club and the Tigers virtually have their whole roster organised. Unless a miracle offer from the Roosters or a rival NRL club comes through, it will probably be England or Japan for Mason.
- Guest_1227T : Chris what u think about Big Willie u want 2c him walk or turn the corner with the Roosters?
- Bruce : Apology accepted. it was big of you to say that mate. Usually hard to say sorry
- Guest_1227T : Mason a Tiger? Well not if Steve Folkes now a Tiger coaching staff member has anything 2 do with it.
- Guest_1227T : i'M sure if the media wanted the Dagons to B a deadline they could fine dirt. It's that Roosters R headlining and people as on this site R interested in that. Good or bad news the media will run with it till untill somthing better comes along.
- Happy Dragon : I guess I was having a bit of a bitch session last night, sorry if I offended anyone!
- Happy Dragon : Hey I don't have a problem hearing about other teams, it's just lately it seems all I read about on here is about Roosters? There's no real exciting news coming out of the Dragons 1227T, they had a 2 day camp before Xmas at Batemans Bay & have been training hard to try & overcome the "chokers" tag??? We'll c at the end of the season if it's worked or not??? At least they haven't been in the news for the wrong reasons!
- Guest_1227T : Happy u don't sound it. Diniel was maybe a bit out of line. But uR let rip about the amount of posting about the Roosters. How about u let us in on some Dagons news and iM sure all will coment as per normal.
- Guest_1227T : qldrsR-uncivilis ed mate if the players do that I know just the bloke 4 the job of lighting them up! My man Todd Carney.
- Happy Dragon : Sorry Chris don't take it personally, it's good 2 c you're a passionate fan!
- Happy Dragon : Diniel or is it Dimwit, what a wanker u r? It's not the Dragons that say they're going 2 win every yr, it's the media! If u actually take notice of what people say on here, then you'd know that I bag the Dragons more than anybody, especially when they start choking!
- qldrsR-uncivilised : jake friend where is he going? no were at the moment ?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : i wanna see alot off player stik a rocket up there arse for 2010
- wombat : i want to see Inu stay at parra and rekindle the conbanation with Tahu
- Chris : Well sorry everyone that i support the Roosters and ask questions about them becasue there my team. Why dont you guys start asking about your team then?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : robinson hope to see him back on the nrl field
- RickyRicardo : Former Eel and Rooster Chad Robinson is back in Australia due to a knee injury. Who knows what it´s for though. It´d be good to see get back out there on the footy field.
- RickyRicardo : Another twist in the Mason saga. Turns out that Bellamy wanted him at the club to replace Dallas Johnson, albeit in the second row with someone shifting to lock, but he was over-ruled by the Storm board.
- RickyRicardo : ?*
- RickyRicardo : What's everyone's thoughts about Inu? Are his days numbered now that Tahu is back? If they are, where can you see him going.
- RickyRicardo : They're doesn't seem to be a whole lot of transfers, rumours or incidents at the moment HD. It seems to be a continuation of the Carney/Williamso n incidents. But the minute I hear some more news regarding another NRL side, whether it be good or bad, I'll let you know.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : and how ppl bag out teams that are like in the top 8 durin the year HAHA dicks need a life
- qldrsR-uncivilised : cracks me up the amount off ppl that support qld or melbourbe juts beacuse off there consistancy and not about there town. how many ppl change who they support every cuple years due to losing teams losing consistancy wait till bronc titan cowboys loose there touch i believe qld will b woodenspoon real soon
- qldrsR-uncivilised : dont tell be diniel ur just a broncos supporter and aint a qlder
- Guest_1227T : Well but Diniel.
- Diniel : Maybe people like Roosters as their second best team bitty.
- Diniel : Dragons suck bigtime. At least the Roosters are consistantly bad but the dragons say they going to win each year and choke every time ha ha. Go Broncos.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : thanks to mason i won the woodenspoon comp
- Bruce : If they get their act together they coukd be a dominate side.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : roosters are like the gayest especially since mason is in there were ever he goes = a shit side
- Happy Dragon : Why r the Roosters always discussed on this site, it's starting 2 get boring guys? Why don't u give us info on all the teams Ricky, not just the Roosters? Personally I don't give a shit about them & I don't think BS will make that much of a difference? I'm sure everyone else would like 2 know what's going on with other teams as well???
- qldrsR-uncivilised : random non related to nrl but u have to go see its complicated at the movies u laugh in pain the whole time
- RickyRicardo : Ryan Williamson has been given an indefinite leave by the Roosters if you will, so that he can have some time to sort out any issues that he may have. So he'll be about for at least the first 2-3 months of the season.
- RickyRicardo : And I expect Tom Symonds to be fit come Rd 1. He had a bad injury last year yes, but I hear that he is recovering well and is starting to get back into the groove of training albeit not heavy contact as of yet.
- RickyRicardo : Roosters are still conducting an internal investigation as to why he did it, but I expect Carney to get away with a fine. He is very lucky though. He got blasted by BS, Myles, Anasta etc. and vowed to stay off alcohol for 12 months. That's what he said last time and it didn't work, so who knows.
- RickyRicardo : I don't really pay attention to them Chris. I have no reason to. I simply reply just to re-inforce the points that I have made to so many others who have said similar things.
- Guest_4022 : Is it true that Tom Symonds wont be fit for round 1 and also any news on Ryan Williamson?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : Dont believe carney will be but stories always change and truth is a hard one to see out
- Chris : Any news on Todd Carney? If his getting fined or something?
- Chris : Also Bulldogs dont need Inu. He should stay at Parra or atleast come to Roosters, haha.
- Chris : Do Warriors really need Inu? They did just get rid of Kemp but he wasn't even really playing FG.
- Chris : Dont worry Ricky, they have nothing better to do. I bet they are in year 6 to 8.
- RickyRicardo : No major signing news as of late. Only a few rumours surfacing that have been around for ages. Like the Inu to Warriors/ Dogs. Mateo to the Dogs. Thurston to Union etc. All the same rumours doing the rounds it seems.
- RickyRicardo : Good to know that people are on my side and can back me up when I give out some information not yet in the papers or on TV. Cheers Chris and QRUnc.
- RickyRicardo : I'm basically the shoutbox administrator if you will Bruce. Basically I report any bad language, abuse or insults towards the boss of the site bans those people effective immediately.
- RickyRicardo : Also, it still amazes me that people think they can pretend to be someone else on here and think that others won't know.
- RickyRicardo : No point in trying to be, it doesn't work as my name is clearly in bold.
- Chris : There just offline right now.
- Guest_1227T : With all this talk what's happens 2 ricky? Can Bruce and ricky talk.
- Chris : Cya mate.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : im off laters hell tlkn nrl tonight
- qldrsR-uncivilised : he could be good but he just does nothing these dayz but take space
- Chris : Hopefully walk. But if Mason was on form, he could be one of the most dominate footy players.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : hopefully walk who knows?
- Guest_1227T : New signings people. Is Willie going to walk or sit and prove himself?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : CARL webb knocked out in debut HAHAHA so tough big head players cant fight for shit
- qldrsR-uncivilised : cant wait till kick off
- Guest_1227T : NRL Friday can't wait.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : anyone think cronk is a homo ?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : i not 100% sure if it was really ricky or a hacker or if he was pullin our leg about homosexuality
- Bruce : Like to keep it interesting... Just one of the many joys of marriage. Born and breed NSW woman who is passionate about her NRL and me, the Victorian who has always followed AFL. Gotta support different teams to keep it fun.
- Match stick men : This site is great. Hi all. Bruce U like debateing a lot ha? U remind me of my math teacher. He loved a good masterbate.
- Chris : Good night!
- Bruce : Anyway lads I'm off. Look forward to the day when I'm not longer a spectator but can actually share some knowledge with you.
- Guest_Who : We should have night out. "Who is coming out" rageing flameing.
- Chris : So bruce. Does your misses go for Manly? Why dont you go for them?
- Chris : And why do you care diniel? I am straight if you must know.
- Bruce : Isn't the reason to join a forum, so we can discuss and debate? Not carry on like a bunch of childish tools.
- Chris : Yeah dont worry Bruce, We can tell that it's not really you.
- Guest_3242 : R u being serious qldrsR, is ricky gay
- Diniel : You gay chris?
- Bruce : Again the below comments are not mine. I'm here to make some friends and learn more about the sport of NRL which NSWers are so fond of. I don't care who is gay or who owns the site. Real information is what I'm after.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : catch ya
- qldrsR-uncivilised : that was quick liam
- Liam : Night night all.
- Bruce : That's funny Ricky pulling leg. Centre I'm guessing then.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : We are talking literally
- Liam : Diniel is the gay one Bruce.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : i think we did found out he may be unless he was pulling our leg
- Bruce : Is Ricky gay?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : i have a feeling one off the best consistant previous teams are gunna hit the spoon 2010
- Chris : news*
- qldrsR-uncivilised : eels were crap but had a fantastic row off wins late that miraculously brought them to the gf fantastic and storm well there always the same each year
- Chris : Ricky always has great new but sometimes bad if it's bad new about you team. And 99% usually right. He did not create this site, i think. His just the main man on here and gives us information and interesting things that go behind scenes.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : yer they went well but putt to shit just before the finals
- qldrsR-uncivilised : he is the main man big head in the nrl itself he has a lot off info throughout the year terrific first heard stroires come from him b4 the tv n paper
- Bruce : If I remember rightly Dragons went well last year?
- Bruce : Is this Ricky's site or is he the main man? Look forward to hearing what he's got to say and hopefully I can pick some pointers for the season. Or just some points so I don't sound like a tool at the kick off BBQ!
- Chris : Teams to keep an eye on? hmm either Dogs, Dragons,Rabbitoh s and Tigers are my main ones and also Eels.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : like how many off these attenders actually no each other personally and they behave so stupid.. they need the word perspective and understanding not everyne is alike and like the same things
- Chris : Yeah i know aye Qldr_unciv. They are just wasting there time.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : everyone gets so worked up and senseless on here wth
- Guest_2142 : Good night Ricky you must be all sourced out big guy. Come back once we all gone and write something gay and pointless.
- Bruce : Any teams to keep an eye on early on?
- Bruce : Thanks. We have relocated from Vic and have always been an AFL supporter. Partner is a Sydney-ite so made the move north. Still finding a team, need one before the season kicks off. Misses is an Manly supporter but we'll keep it interesting when I choose another team!
- Guest_Who : I got suspenders for Xmass.
- Bruce Banna : News Flash earth to Chris no one gets suspended. Another one of Ricky lakes sources to all the people.
- Chris : Are you the new bully on the site. Haha, you will soon get suspended mate.
- Bruce Banna : Chris we all take your advice mate NOT. Get bent.
- Happy Dragon : Pls don't pick on Ricky cause I'm Ricky too.
- Chris : If you dont like him, just dont come on the site. That simple.
- Guest_Who : Me is Who. I think Ricky is problem!! Who he now??
- Bitch face : You so funny guy. I can't tell who is who. He is a lot like a child want all attention. Good on mate.
- Chris : Very funny, i seriously dont know what your problem is.
- Ricky Ritardo : Eels are the best at anything my source tells me. By the way the Storm won the gf last year. You heard it hear first. God i'm so good hey every1 look at how good I'm. Oh i am not going to even argue with anyone who thinks otherwise.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : eels drug users hahah yeh you get ur info from ur anes..... i can say for a fact they aint all noooo way
- qldrsR-uncivilised : i think hodges is hiding that he is band from origin there is 1 qld player that is band but hidden which player my guess hodges or hunt
- Diniel : Eels suck. All drug users I think like Knights.
- Bruce Banna : Do you like my name Ricky it's as original as yours.
- Bruce Banna : The Choocks mate. Let me tell you Hodges is they saying suffering from depession. Sounds as the Broncos are trying to hide something big. I think he would be the last person lacking any self belief.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : thats the guy i was meaning denan kemp i thought he was a nice style
- Chris : Welcome to NRL News chat forum Bruce! Good to have another member. What team do you support?
- Chris : Broncos must be very happy they signed Kemp.
- Chris : I'm expecting Kemp or Hoffman at fullback.
- Chris : I
- qldrsR-uncivilised : damn now wont be able 2 see if its hodges or hunt banned from origin now he's tore his tendon
- qldrsR-uncivilised : i think its cool they bought back that fello from the nz funny how they piss em off them buy em back i thought he was a nice player
- RickyRicardo : What are people's thoughts on who the Broncos fullback will be now that the favourite, Justin Hodges is out for 6 months?
- RickyRicardo : So basically, we can drown out any non-NRL comments with constant NRL talk, news and discussions.
- RickyRicardo : We talk NRL here Bruce, mark my words. It's just a real shame that we have people come along who only feel the need to personally attack others instead of talking NRL.
- Bruce : That last post wasn't me. Anyone know any other footy site where they actually talk nrl?
- RickyRicardo : Thanks for the info Chris. If I wasn't overseas, I'd try and catch a glimpse of the show.
- RickyRicardo : Some of these comments continue to amaze me. It's amazing how people think they can use someone else's name and they think we won't know, haha. Let them have an issue with me, I'm not fussed if they do. If they don't want to pay attention to what I write on here, then they don't have to. Simple as that. Those that want to know the information, can read it and discuss it.
- Guest_Who : That's some f up shit. Very confusious I say.
- Diniel : Maybe it could be Ricky.
- Guest_2142 : What the F you smoking Diniel?
- Diniel : If you are I'm coming out,
- Diniel : You gay Ricky??
- Bruce : I think Hayne is a crack adict. He is always looking at the other guys behinds.
- Chris : And Replay is Monday 12pm
- Chris : If you guys want to see NRL summertime, check it out Friday 7.30pm. It just talks about how the teams are going and shows them training. It does a different team each week. Roosters were last friday. I'm not sure who are next.
- Guest_2142 : People have an issue with only you , you dope. Your like a youn kid. Cry Ricky cry.
- RickyRicardo : Also, Brian Waldron has resigned as CEO of the Melbourne Storm to join the new Rugby Union franchise in 2011.
- RickyRicardo : Unfortunately Bruce, this shoutbox always gets the odd person/persons who feel the need to dispute everything that is said by many of the forum members on here. Welcome to the shoutbox as well. Hope to see your contributions to the discussions in the near future.
- RickyRicardo : As I said before, I'm not going to bother arguing with you. If you haven't been here long enough to see that most of what my 'sources' tell me, most of which happens after I say it here, then you'd know that that in which I say is true.
- Guest_2142 : I think you need some human growth hormones so you can grow some ball dude. Sorry you must have a source to tell you how to wipe the shit that comes out of your mouth.
- Bruce : Don't you teach UR kids to not bully? We do. Enough of the bullying and more of the nrl plz.
- Guest_2142 : Hayne take drugs 100%. Ask Wicks. Ricky your source is you dude. Just quietly your a shit source & your bull shit postings a lot like that of a gay man.
- RickyRicardo : Justin Hodges is out for 6 months after he injured his achilles tendon.
- Chris : Hmm.
- RickyRicardo : I'm not even going to bother to reply to you Guest 2142, because to be frank, you aren't worth my time. I have my sources, whom tell me who takes drugs and who doesn't. But you're more than welcome to believe who takes drugs and who doesn't.
- Guest_426 : It's rediculious to think these poor guys half the time dont know what they have got themselves into. Come on' give em a break yeh fair enough if they do it well then they deserve it. But if they r innocent let it be. The past is the past carry on with the future!!!!
- Guest_426 : Hi, i want to let you know that i am officially with Michael Crockett and all the shit that was said about him isn't true. He is the nicest guy in the world and has a heart of gold..Its a stereotypical thing to blame a footballer for shit that aint true. I understand that not all players r innocent but look at this way, there is so much bull shit that goes onin the world right under our noses but it's only because these guys r in the limelight that we look at it differently. I think it's sad
- Guest_426 : Hi,
- Diniel : Eels suck;
- Diniel : Ricky u a FAG? Ha ha.
- Guest_2142 : And Hayne is a big E poper. Used to be and still is. And he loves himself much as u love him.
- Guest_2142 : Ricky what the fuck do u know u half wit. I'm related 2 a player u fag and I can tell u he uses drugs and he is a Eel.
- RickyRicardo : And I'm not about to get into an argument about which players are taking drugs and which players are not, as I know very well which players are and which players aren't. And let me tell you, that Hayne isn't one of them. And if you think the Eels players are taking drugs recreationally, you better think again. I know a fair proportion of the players very well and none of them take drugs.
- RickyRicardo : He certainly does Chris. Whether he stays there will depend on his form with the trials at fullback.
- Chris : That seems likely now.
- Chris : 1. Carney 2. Minichiello 3. Perrett 4. Graham 5. Kenny-dowall 6. Anasta 7. Pearce 8. Nuuasala 9. Aubusson 10. Ryles 11. Hargreaves 12. Myles 13. M.Aubusson bench 14. Paea 15. Symonds 16. Kennedy 17. Jones/Foran
- Chris : Brian Smith seems very strong about Carney at fullback.
- Guest_3512 : Hehe... Better get you back to wifey
- qldrsR-uncivilised : HAHAHAHAHA
- Guest_Who : No. Me home with Wife Bo.
- Guest_Who : O you Twit.
- Guest_3512 : Guest_3512 is sitting in the cinema about to watch Sherlock Holmes with Guess_t Who
- Kim : I thought it might be the woman looking for extra marital affair.
- Guest_3512 : Man who walk through airport turnstile sidewards going to bAngkok. Now let's talk footy. This isn't sunrise, no thought of the day
- Kim : How true Who. So are you saying that there no sqeaky clean players. And that players who aren't in the click are the once that get the flick after one strick?
- Guest Who : Confusious say man who stands to right sometimes get left.
- Bruce : Hello fellas. Who got some news on the footy ball?
- Kim : Sorry Lord. But every NRL team have & will continue to have player that use that's the reality.
- Guest_3512 : Hello 4257
- Guest_4257 : hi all
- Guest_3512 : Kim I will not have you using the lords name in that context.
- Guest_4257 : hi all
- Kim : Well ha how do I put this? I know this? Ricky your think your eels players are special? News flash dude know of a few that use recreational drugs high profile eels stars. One a big party drug user. Think his name is Hayne!! Oh My GOD dude.
- Guest_3512 : Yo yo what's up boys?
- RickyRicardo : It's a show on Fox, basically to keep everyone excited about League during the off-season. It highlights certain teams each week and their pre-season and everything. Haven't really watched an episode.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : yeh sames never heard off it
- Happy Dragon : I've never heard of it, is it on Fox?
- Guest_2640 : anyone watched NRL summer time?? Who was the big fella next to nate myles with dark hair? he was massive
- qldrsR-uncivilised : finchy
- RickyRicardo : If you think that Hayne is on drugs, then by gosh, you really should re-consider. I've met him and have spent time with him, and let me assure you, he does not take drugs, at least not now. But his youth was a bit shrouded and connected with that sort of stuff. Now though, he has no involvement.
- Happy Dragon : 1227T, we're talking about players we think could b involved with drugs??? A ny suggestions yourself?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : and i also think riddell would be a big pick
- Guest_3512 : In my opinion he makes the list 2
- Guest_3512 : You think god is going to stop Hayne using?
- Guest_1227T : Iv just come in 2 this convo people what u all talking about with all these names?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : snowden
- qldrsR-uncivilised : fittler, dureau, thurston, gidley, friend, carney, smith, taylor, watmough, sutton, hodges tamou and surely many more....... has thurston had his ears fixed ?
- Happy Dragon : I wouldn't b surprised about Inglis or Thurston, Hayne no as he's involved with the church?
- Happy Dragon : Couldn't imagine Barrett taking drugs, would b devastated if true? Gallen & Fittler wouldn't surprise especially with the stupid things they've done?
- Happy Dragon : Charlie Leaeno good buy for Roosters if true? Played for Dragons then Broncos, does have speed for a big guy & strong!
- qldrsR-uncivilised : like the look off some choices there chris
- RickyRicardo : They should have one by Rd 1. Not sure which one it will be yet.
- RickyRicardo : It's not his body that needs a break. He has some issues that he has to deal with first. And again, I can't say whether any of those are the guys that are taking drugs.
- Chris : Also anynews on Roosters sponser? Will they have one by round 1?
- Chris : Matt Hidler
- Chris : Kurt Gidley?
- Chris : Jarrod Mullan???
- Chris : I'm just guesing some names.
- Chris : Trent Barrat
- Chris : Jamal Idris?
- Chris : Brett Kimmorely?? Has had alot of energy lately and is getting older. How does that work?
- Chris : Paul Gallan??
- Chris : Brad Fitller?
- Chris : Stacy Jones?
- Chris : What about Inglis? or Thurston, Hayne??
- Chris : So seems like Ryan Williamson is taking time off for the year. Dont blame that kid, has had a terrible past years with injuries, his body needs a break.
- RickyRicardo : And it may not be the Roosters after all. Rumour has it that he initially signed with the Jets, but now they say he signed with the Roosters, so it's all over the place. If he does play, he'll probably play in the second row or in the front row, but I don't really know too much about him.
- Guest_4401 : will he play FG? What position does he play
- RickyRicardo : Charlie Leaeno has signed with the Roosters.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : watmough i wouldnt b surprised but will be devastated
- qldrsR-uncivilised : i new hindy wouldnt be..... yes carney did cause more than scrotum burning.... and i instantly thought it was deliberate burning off the pants
- RickyRicardo : Well apparently word has now come out that he deliberately lit the man's pants on fire causing injury to his scrotum. By law, that'd count as attempted bodily harm and the intent to harm or whatever they call it in the legal system, so I think Carney might find himself in some serious trouble. And let me go on the record and say that Hindy is NOT one of the players doing drugs.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : no official complaint has been lodged from the victim into the carney incident so till he has lodged i would say nrl will still take action without the official complaint
- qldrsR-uncivilised : and i hope watmough is also a player not in truble with drugs along with my other top listed players, price prince sailor hindy wich i no hindy wouldnt be a player definatly well i hope not ha
- qldrsR-uncivilised : carney incident loooks serious i think he is easily and def quickly gone.... done some nasty damage from burning pants on fire harming the body
- Guest_147 : do u reckon carney will get the sack?
- RickyRicardo : Looks like Carney might be in some trouble after all. Apparently, he and a friend lit a man's genitals on fire whilst holidaying at Airlie Beach.
- RickyRicardo : There was some talk that Carney had gotten himself into some trouble after he breached his contract by drinking alcohol, but it seems to have been swept under the rug somewhat over the last week or two.
- Chris : Has Carney done something wrong?
- Guest_3512 : Love Big Willie
- Guest_1227T : I'd loved 2 c the big fella turn things around. Roosters R a good club to stay in favour with they realy look after players who R loyal. I 2 think he should show every1 out there that he will fight all the way and get to his best at the club. Good luck Willie.
- Big Bad : Looks more like Mason will stay 2010 at the Roosters and see out his contract. He is tha only one that can turn the situation around. Get back to his best wouldn't be that hard if he stays focused and injury free. BS is best at getting the best out of players. Mason needs to put his pride aside and learn to be a team player. I think staying could benifit his career and make him a true leader at the Roosters.
- RickyRicardo : No names have come out as of yet. The NRL wants to keep it quiet for now until they know for sure who the players are to avoid any confusion. And from the Knights regarding the Wicks saga, it was 2 more of them yes apart from Wicks, with a third possibly involved as well. And if Koups can show some form in the trial games, I'd have him starting at 14. So in other words, as the utility off the bench.
- Kim : True that.
- Guest_1227T : Wasn't there 2 along with Wicks? Don't know if the report said x star though? Think it could B a current 1.
- Kim : Could there B a link between Wicks & A. Johns ?? We R told Husten is not one of them though he was Wicks house mate at one time. Any names come out?
- Guest_1227T : Nick Kouparitsas is hoping to be in the BS starting line up for Roosters. He has put his hand up to play a utility role alternating between hooker & lock a role similar to that played by Craig Wing in the past. Sun Herald Jan 3/2010.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : and many more
- RickyRicardo : Looks like three players might be in trouble after an NRL official said that three players from the same NRL side tested positive to drugs in 2007.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : been 22hrs since someone said something bizzare.... season kick off not far thankgod. gone quite quick PUMPED!!!!
- RickyRicardo : I don't think the problem is drugs with Williamson from what I'm hearing. But things are subject to change, and some possible link to that may come out soon if they were to discover something.
- Chris : So i'm guessing he's one of them on drugs.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : like to see gidley one off them LOL
- RickyRicardo : Well if the issues are as bad as rumoured, he could be out of the game for at least two years. Still not too much information released about it, but it's definitely a big issue for him.
- Chris : Hopefully he just sorts the issues out.
- Chris : Argh, really had good hopes about him. Is it a big chance his gone? Will he play for another NRL club?
- RickyRicardo : Could very well be Chris. Rumour has it that he has run into a bit of trouble and has some issues that he has to deal with.
- Chris : Well this year.
- Chris : Is it true Ryan Williamson wont be a rooster in 2010?
- Guest_3512 : U too mate
- Guest_1227T : Happy New Year 2 all , loved 1s & family. Have a safe 2010 u all.
- RickyRicardo : Two more Knights players have been implicated and looks like they might be in serious trouble. Word out of Knights camp is that one of their star players is involved as well.
- Chris : Nope, i dont have him rated the best in the world.
- qldrsR-uncivilised : agree with you GUEST 1227T
- Guest_3512 : Happy New Year boys
- Guest_1227T : Hey Chris what's up? Would u rate Thurston the best player in the world? I would have Inglis ,Slater ahead of him even Cam Smith.
- Happy Dragon : Have a safe & Happy New Year everyone! 2010 means the footy season is getting closer, god I can't wait!
- qldrsR-uncivilised : these talks for thurston are for what season 2010 or 2011 or ?
- qldrsR-uncivilised : like people are competing against each other in a silly matter
- qldrsR-uncivilised : ha god some ppl get there undies in a knot on this over silly lil things
- Chris : I reckon Thurston will either go to Dogs or Rugby.
- RickyRicardo : And everyone is more than welcome to have their opinions on me and what I write, but I don't need to prove anything to anyone at any stage. I simply pass on the information that I hear and those that are interested in hearing it, will pay attention. That's all I have to say on the matter.
- RickyRicardo : I wouldn't be surprised if it's Ray Thompson who gets the nod for the halfback role should Thurston leave.
- Guest_3512 : Hey Hey Hey
- Diniel : liam ur a tripper even the cowboys said their hoping she will make him stay
- Guest_1227T : Who asked u? Ha ha. Sorry Who I had 2 post that u walked in 2 that 1 dude.
- Guest Who : Who think Dogs the club Thurston will go again. Do not Diniel anything. What matter if boy or girl?
- Guest_1227T : Hey Diniel u a girl?
- Guest_1227T : Rumour R getting big about Sonny $ Williams returning 2NRL. He is looking to relocate back 2 Sydney. Will the NRL let him back is going 2 B a hot topic.
- Guest_1227T : Anthony Watts or Ben Cronnin from NYC could step up at half 4Cowboys.
- Kim : You go girl!!!
- Liam : What his girl going to do about it. Diniel you got to be a chick. No guy would come out with a coment like that.
- Diniel : i think its up to his g/f shes got a job with the cowboys
- Guest_2142 : It looks most like he will go. So does any1 know who( not u WHO) will Cowboys get 2 replace him?
- Kim : Don't rule out rugby. He is looking at setting himself up with his next contract. The $ is in the back of his mind.
- Guest_1227T : If I had to guess it would B the Dogs. Eels I heard will have a play. The Roosters nearly signed him before his last contract with Cowboys. But I can't c him linking with them. The Dogs have been mentioned year or so ago. What u thinking ? Have any info?
- Diniel : the only thing that shits me about ricky is saying he knows sumthing but cant say it and says u might find out in a weeks i think an example is who thurstons talking to
- Guest_1227T : Big Bad u are a true man. The way u delt things just now tells a lot about u man. And Diniel mate sorry for dis u man u allright dude. Let's all move on ha.
- Guest Who : i'M feeling the love. Good to see all of people talking like people. Could be good year for you and who.
- Big Bad : Dude try to c what's been said. Ricky post good things at times but he's always telling everyone how good he is. But if anyone else post some info he trys to correct it or put his spin on it.
- Diniel : fair enough man
- Big Bad : Shit dude i'M not going to harm you. Just don't C eye to eye with you that's all.
- Big Bad : As for you happy your more like a old dog with no BONE. Maybe you frustrated!! Ha Ha.
- Diniel : oh settle down man with a name like big bad im abit scared
- Big Bad : Diniel when did you take up thinking? Your just a TWAT ass clown SHEEP. So anyone that thinks Ricky is full of himself have to leave. Ha you must be having yourselves on.
- Diniel : i think their abit jealous haha
- Happy Dragon : Can u believe these people Diniel, always have 2 whinge about something?
- Diniel : why are you having a sook about ricky?his been on here prob the longest if you dont like it leave?
- Happy Dragon : We listen to anyone that has anything 2 say about footy, it's just the idiots we don't have time 4!
- Happy Dragon : We're also interested in any other goss anyone has 4 us, not just from Ricky!
- Happy Dragon : Hey 1227T, what have u got against Ricky? He is just doing his job & he does it well! Why do u think we're always on here, because we're hoping Ricky always has goss 4 us? If u don't like it, then maybe u should try another site???
- Guest_1227T : Chris don't know who's been telling u this site was block bro or any1s account suspended. It never havened. People just been away. So u don't think 4 one moment that Ricky goes out of his was to tell us how good he is. Come on dude u must c that. He peed so many people by walking down 2 them. All I'm saying 2 Ricky is watch the way he answer people. Give others credit 4 a scoop. Don't weport others posting as his. And most of all remember he is same as all of us no better.
- Happy Dragon : U sad,sad people! U obviously don't have anything better 2 do? Don't u hate school hols, all the little shits get on this site & ruin it 4 all us regulars!
- Diniel : im going to work now any comment after this one isnt me if u think it is your a fool
- Diniel : i saw big mal at my gym today didnt get to see him lift weights tho haha
- Chris : Is that really you 1227T?
- Chris : Well look who's back, wonder if there accounts got unblocked, and they straight away talk shit. Dont Worry Ricky, you told us about Bronx Goodwin few days before it was published on the papers.
- Guest_1227T : Well well
- Big Bad : You all twisted.
- Diniel : Ricky you like hot food?
- Rod Regaz : So you like me much as Ricko? I know you in to hot flames Dragon.
- Happy Dagon : Oh Latin Rod. You dig old gals??
- Rod Regaz : Ricko jue my bro but no nappy hoha.
- Diniel : That must suck.
- Bitch Face : He still haves them to stop all the shit he comes out with.
- Happy Dragon : Ricky would have been in nappys.
- Happy Dragon : About 12 I think. It was so long ago.
- Diniel : Happy Dragon how old are you when you were my age?
- Diniel : yep ricky def said goodwin signed a week or 2 before the telegraph
- Diniel : it sucks cause its not even funny
- Happy Dragon : Hey Diniel, just ignore these idiots that use your name, the prob is they're not intelligent enough 2 think of one 4 themselves!
- Guest_1227T : That's one thing we all c eye to eye on. Ha ha now that's FUNNY.
- Kim : Diniel your a big twat.
- Diniel : Some one is copying my name. Wait is there another Diniel?oh my head hurts. Big Bags that's funny.
- Kim : Big bags that's too much. Happy D is only telling ous what she knows. You don't have to dis her like that. But I read the same news about two weeks saying it's a done deal.
- Diniel : Ha ha happy old fart. That's funny.
- Big Bad : Happy old fart you and Ricky got somthing going on ha. You just happy to hear he signed with the dragg on s.
- Happy Dragon : If u don't like what Ricky has 2 say people, then may I suggest u piss off???
- Happy Dragon : Yeh I'll back you up, no worries Ricky! U told us about Goodwin signing well before I saw it anywhere else! Don't worry about these jerks Ricky, they're just jealous that u find out info before they do, that's what you're here 4!
- Guest_1227T : Maybe you should demand a reward now. Such a child dude. Get over yourself. Your the same as all of us.
- RickyRicardo : As I said before dude, I'm not here to argue, and you should know that seeing as you've been here for a while. I simply pass on the information that I hear from the various sources at clubs that I have. If it's before it's officially announced or after it's been announced, it's all the same. But I simply inform the regulars here of the player movements when I hear them.
- Guest_1227T : PS diniel you realy are a sheep. Think for youself.
- RickyRicardo : Let them get peed off about it dude. I'm not fussed if they don't like me. They don't even know me, so why should I care what they have to say about me? Also for the record, Bronx Goodwin signing with the Dragons was only in the Telegraph 4 days ago on the 23rd. I said it officially that he had signed with the Dragons about a week before that. And I'll have Chris or Happy Dragon to back me up on that.
- Guest_1227T : I read about Goodwin two weeks ago on the Sunday Tele mate. So it's old. Sounds as if you want people to give you a medal each time you post news. Just post it without asking for rewards. Your like a kid showing of. Grow up. People are getting peed of at that dude.
- Guest_1227T : Ricky hears a good point dude. Ask youself what you done to pee these people off. This is not your site dude. You are and always will be the same as everyone else on this site . Don't make up shit or rip peoples postings and put your spin and re post.
- RickyRicardo : Not to worry though, you'll be banned soon, then we can get back to the decent conversation that we always have that is actually NRL related.
- RickyRicardo : you're pretending to be Diniel*
- RickyRicardo : Secondly, to the 'Diniel' who just posted two comments ago, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you'
- RickyRicardo : I'm not about to get into an argument with people that I don't know nor people who know nothing about me. As I've stated before, the information I pass on is almost always accurate. Like the other day for example, about 4/5 days before it was announced, I said that Bronx Goodwin had signed with the Dragons, and guess what? He did a couple of days after I said it. So just make sure you have the facts right before you go on your little tangent.
