[taipan]

B*gger the footballers,I'm just damn upset I missed the cut.
With letters after my name,I could then show people whose boss.

The real issue that everybody seems to be missing here!

JT's middle name is f**king Dean??

Wonder if people remember some of Thurston’s controversy over the years. He isn’t perfect like they want to believe.

He's receiving an AM. Pretty sure there's nothing in the criteria about being perfect.

Achievement for playing Rugby League awesome stuff...

Thurston likely got it also for his work with indigenous communities, Cam likely for his contribution towards Chartered Accountants Australia....

 

[THE CHAMP]

I cannot wait for Queen's Birthday awards in the future going to James Tedesco, Latrell Mitchell, Luke Keary, Cooper Cronk and Joseph Manu.

Pearce?

I agree he has done plenty of work for indigenous communities in Australia can’t see why Cameron Smith got it for..

Just checked on the Storm site.
He got it for charity work, being National Ambassador for Ovarian Cancer Australia, and working with the Prostrate Cancer Foundation.
On the above can't knock him, even though he is a lousy referee.

Pearce?

Why Pearce?

Why Pearce?

For winning the Roosters the Grand Final

JT does a heap of work behind the scenes for indigenous communities. Didn't know about Smith's cancer foundation efforts. There would be another 100 players that just their ass for various causes that go unknown/noticed to the masses.

 

[carcharias]

Yeah but did either of them cut off their mullet for charity???

Didn’t think so.

Doesn't beat cleaning up litter in the dressing she'd though

Ryan Papenhuyzen deserves to receive a Dutch Queen's birthday honour for his service to rugby league in the Netherlands.
