2025-26 off-season incidents

[Fangs]

The wii controllers are still better than these. Bit more effort to setup initially, but was more accurate and faster.

If you want something plug and play and just work with the 4 games it has installed. The Gaime lightgun is a goer. Probably more games will be added later when people work out how to.

Do they have the good games though? Time crisis etc

Time Crisis with the foot pedal.

Both the premium and ultimate pack. I'd probably spend the extra $100 to get 2 guns.

And 3 other games which are fun.

Doesn't look too bad.

We had it on ps3 I think years ago. They gave you sensor to put on the TV. But it was kinda crap not the same thing. Not as responsive as it should be.

Can blame the Daily Terrograph when they start putting cameramen on the Harbour Bridge so they can get video/photos of players doing stuff that is in a private function. It's those sorts of things that prevent players from letting their hair down. They are a lot more media savvy these days, and understand they are on a good wicket, well the majority of them anyway.

The worst one was Cronulla back in 2014 when they had their mad Monday at one of the players houses but the telegraph still went out and got pictures of them. It was such horseshit.

Honestly if you want something like that, there are way better versions to go for. I'd be looking at setting up a mini pc and getting something like the Blamcon. That way you can just get all the arcade/emu versions of the games you want to play with a light gun and enjoy them all. Higher cost factor though.

They made it a yearly thing to just stake out the Bulldogs every year to get dirt on them. Sending directional mic's so they could overhear stuff. Buzz hates the Bulldogs with every ounce of his being.

Looks mad. Maybe they'll do some black friday sales.

But back on topic this is the whole issue really. Things like this light gun the players from going out and creating havoc in the world. We might as well close this thread at this point because I'm quite sure there will be no more incidents this off-season. Too many distractions at home.

Former NRL player Nathan Merritt would have made people “fear for their safety” during a brawl outside a Sydney sports bar that left him bloodied and knocked to the ground, court documents have revealed.

The former South Sydney player was at the Madison Hotel in Surry Hills with a group of friends early the morning of February 16 last year when an altercation erupted between him and a group of unknown men.

Mr Merritt was left bleeding from the head and mouth with a ripped shirt following the brawl.

A regular person would have “feared for their safety” as the incident unfolded, court documents tendered to the court and seen by NewsWire state.

“(Mr Merritt) did use unlawful violence towards unknown victim by conduct such that a person of reasonable firmness, if present at the scene, would have feared for their safety,” they state.

FFS we are left to former players running amuck. Ridiculous.

Any update on cheese? I saw a puff piece on him the other day so must be a court date coming up.

They send the journalist and cameras to all these events under the guise of “taking pictures of everyone dressed up”

but we all know why they’re really there.

I know. The current crop of players should be ashamed of themselves for leaving it up to the women and ex-players to provide any off-season controversy. They are not worthy to be called first grade NRL players.

Yeah and I bet they'll go dry July too. During SOO season which is an insult.

Gower and the boys got on the piss during Origin. Gasnier too. Its almost as if these guys know nothing about the history of the game.

Now is when PVL should go hard and issue 10 year bans to these players for bringing our great game into disrepute.
