Yeah, I know - another thread.................
This one is about something that is getting forgotten in the argument, but to me is hugely disturbing and sadly showcases the mindset of an element at Souths that will destroy their finals campaign - and any sympathy vote from the wider RL family. I'm talking about the brawl over Dean Young's carcase.

1:45 - the slowmo of the event. Merrin reacts with a short shove to the side of Farrell, who jumps to his knees to square off. Then, the greatest gathering of brainless f*ckwits in the NRL race in to attack Merrin, and in doing so put Young in grave danger. Young was clearly concussed, but there was concern for his neck as well - hence the neck brace. If there WAS a neck injury, the idiotic response by four of the dumbest geniuss ever to wear a Souths jumper could have seen him in a wheelchair. And thats not mentioning two trainers who were also squashed under the brawls.
The 4 brainless lumps of sh*t who IMHO should all be subject to 5 minutes alone with Craig Young and his favourite tyre lever, are Nathan Peats, Greg Inglis, Luke Burgess and Michael Crocker.
The reference point for my comments is the infamous Origin Brawl after the other Steve Price lay unconcious at Lang Park. Justin Poore merely lifted Price up and dropped him - a brainless and dangerous act. We all remember how stupid the Queensland reaction was - one that Inglis was part of. Funny - it's OK to turn a footy game into Stalingrad because you want to eradicate such actions from the game, but massively hypocritical to do what happened on Saturday Night.
Those four rampant f*ckwits need to realise that it aint the 1960's any more, and there is a reason dinosaur thugs like George Piggins are not in a position of power in 2012. The pathetic whining of Michael Maguire over Steve Price's comments, and the flood of toothless metho guzzlers attacking Merrin's love tap merely confirm that South Sydney have never been able to drag their sorry arses out of the 1960's. And that is exactly why they have had no clue as to how to find success since the rest of the world left them behind as we advanced to the 1970's and beyond.
Sam and Luke Burgess can f*ck off back to whatever miserable medievil pile of rocks he came from. Sam's cowardly attack on Morris post try suggests a colossal dose of small penis syndroms. Inglis - I am quite certain - is the Gumbainggir word for "hypocritical dumbass" - although I'd reckon he'd call him self a proud Maori for the right price.
In saying that, lets applaud Jason Clark for showing the concern he did, and for the likes of Hornby, Morris, Nightingale and Soward for guarding Young and cooling things down.
South Sydney deserves better from these players. Rugby League deserves better from South Sydney. And if this is the result of that watershed day when fans of the Knights, Eels, Dragons, Tigers and others swelled the ranks of the great Town Hall march, then we can say it wasnt worth it, and Rupert and the Broncos were right.
