    Porn shop king speaks out on Sharks: 'I don't give sex toys to anyone'

    Just watched the interview, it didn't change anything in my mind really. Zappia gave denials, but didn't exactly answer tough questions and he has apparently repeatedly refused to answer questions from Magnay who obviously would understand the nature of the allegations better than Vossy...

    Porn shop king speaks out on Sharks: 'I don't give sex toys to anyone'

    Fair point, Zappia's obviously got a fair bit on his plate right now. I didn't see what he had to say on tv. Still, Magnay reported on what she had learned, and included Zappia's response to the claims... not a lot more she could do.

    Porn shop king speaks out on Sharks: 'I don't give sex toys to anyone'

    I didn't say that the original report was infallible. I specifically said that Magnay may have been too quick to take the word of whoever told her about the prostitutes. That's not to say that source was wrong, though. The sex trade is a grubby industry and there could be any number of reasons...

    Porn shop king speaks out on Sharks: 'I don't give sex toys to anyone'

    Just for the record, the original article didn't say that Ange gave out sex toys, it said that sex toys were handed out by the club. It also included included Zappia's text message denial of the claims. Also, the claim that sex workers entered the sheds was based on the response of someone the...

    LG ends association with Sharks

    haha You won't buy a brand because it doesn't want to renew a sponsorship deal with a team that gets small crowds, can't win, has been embroiled in a tawdry group sex scandal, had a player glass his girlfriend last year (I know he was stood down, but LG only has to concern itself with the image...

    The punch that cost the Sharks $20,000 - Zappia stands down

    This site is great. I mean, everyone has their biases, but watching people around here flail about and try to rationalise every new bit of media coverage in a way that gives the NRL and its players the benefit of the doubt... well, its amazing. 4 Corners report: hatchet job. A Current...

    I wonder if her story about being raped is true?

    Matthew Johns sex scandal in 2002

    Thankyou for the links herbert. I did not assume that those facts had not been reported, I just had not seen them reported myself. As for my moralistic agenda, I don't have one. I happen to think that this case is extremely complex and raises all sorts of issues to do with attitudes toward...

    Matthew Johns sex scandal in 2002

    It doesn't even really matter. Police have to satisfy particular criteria when deciding whether or not to press charges. Often they will believe the account of a complainant while not being able to press charges. The fact that charges were not pressed in no way proves that what went on was...

    Matthew Johns sex scandal in 2002

    Where does this figure of 80 police interviews come from? I also have only read about the union players on this forum, haven't seen it in the media at all. If anyone has links that'd be appreciated.

    Clare bears possible money angle exposed

    I was obviously wrong that you have a blinkered view on this, it's clear to me now that you actually just have a brilliant mind and were able to figure out exactly what happened based on nothing other than news reports. As you were. I'm done.

    Clare bears possible money angle exposed

    I might have misinterpreted your argument first time round, so I apologise for that. Even so, what you are describing here is plausible rather than actually being likely. You're playing internet detective, building a tentative circumstantial case based on newspaper reports. All the while you...

    Clare bears possible money angle exposed

    This is really compelling stuff man, you've really put the pieces together well. I guess the only thing I might question is how on earth appearing on 4 Corners would help her compensation claims? I wonder as well, the reports of her having slit her wrists, what do you put that down to? Was...

    Fibros-Silvertails Documentary

    That disallowed try in the semi where they said it was offside even though it was the kicker who scored... didn't the ref rule knock on? Maybe the signalling has changed or something, but it also looked like he was about to put down a scrum. Thought it was weird they didn't clarify on that.

    There are 2 clear points to make here...

    lol @ everyone acting like taking drugs is a mortal sin. As far as we're aware he wasn't doing hard stuff and he wasn't taking performance enhancing drugs, but yet everyone's so happy to jump on their high horse. Fair enough if it's your kid or someone you personally care about, but his 'crime'...

    Leichhart the myth

    You tell me, I don't have the stats. these things work themselves out over long periods of time, though. As I also said, I think there's merit at playing at a suburban ground with real atmosphere. My real point is that it's just as stupid to come out bashing Leichhardt because we put in a...

    Leichhart the myth

    I didn't realise there were only two options. Cliff notes: we are a better team at Leichhardt. Just like there is a general 'home ground advantage,' there is also an advantage to our team in playing at Leichhardt over Telstra. One bad performance doesn't change that fact. Additionally...

    Leichhart the myth

    Maybe we should get rid of all our home grounds and play all games at away stadiums because we were so pathetic today at home... Or are you saying that we're a worse team at leichhardt? We're obviously a better team at leichhardt than at Telstra. We're also better at Cambo than Telstra. It's...
