    Jarryd Hayne criticises pricks in pink for not giving Parramatta Eels a fair go

    Whining like a bitch & blaming others for him & his sides inabilities to play as a team is "showing some passion & leadership"? Uh ok then. Must be whom Princess Moses is modelling his 'leadership style' on.

    Scared to Quit Drinking...

    This is why my mother, a nursing sister, taught us as kids to check our turds. My pain was mainly caused by severe constipation. You need to test different foods to see what, if anything, irritates your ulcers. Bland foods to begin. Believe it or not but chillis have a component (capsyn I...

    Panthers sack Griffin 4 weeks from finals

    So if Griff was kept "18 months too long", why was he given a contract extension a year ago? Does Gus enjoy sacking coaches for the drama? chNien ratings? Or does he just get off on the power? My opinion of Gus is slipping. He's not bigger than the game, no-one is.

    Panthers sack Griffin 4 weeks from finals

    No I wasn't aware of that, thanks. I was so disappointed at the pathetic decisions made by the board over time, starting with the sacking of Sheens, that I've taken a big step back & haven't taken as close an interest as I once did (it was aggravating my ulcers) If we now only have two Balmain...

    Panthers sack Griffin 4 weeks from finals

    Fair enough but where there's smoke there's fire. We will just have to agree to disagree on the timing & how this has been handled. I for one would like to think that Gus is a man of integrity & hasn't lied but from what I see, it's not looking good. Time will tell I guess. Hopefully the...

    Panthers sack Griffin 4 weeks from finals

    Look, I'm a one-eyed Tiger & I hate to say it but the Balmain board has been the cause of most of our issues. From what I've heard it's the Wests wise heads that have saved us from even worse problems. Letting go of Tim Sheens was like shooting oneself in the foot. Appointing that sneering...

    Scared to Quit Drinking...

    Man that sucks. I ended up with duodenal ulcers, had a spastic colon because I hadn't had a dump for over 10 days. It was so painful. Chinese medicine has used powdered dandelion root for over 3,000 years to treat liver disease, cancer, gallstones amongst other things. It builds the blood &...

    Scared to Quit Drinking...

    G'day Dave. Good for you that you've recognised that there's a problem. Thanks for sharing. It's not easy for most of us blokes to admit to a problem & ask for advice (because we're MEN we can fix everything, ... right? Lol) There's a huge difference between a pisshead & an alcoholic. One...

    Panthers sack Griffin 4 weeks from finals

    He may well have had "deficiencies" but can't you see that sacking him at this point in the season is a ridiculous decision that reflects poorly on the game? Yes rugby league is now a big business but it's a game first & foremost. Team loyalty seems to now be nonexistent. Trying to entice...

    Trent Barrett

    He must be getting coaching tips from Bozo. Back when he was coaching, the low placed Bears always seemed to beat the high flying Sea Eagles with their team full of rep players at North Sydney oval. (I can still remember players like Wombat or Boustead tearing up the sideline) Bozo came up with...

    Panthers sack Griffin 4 weeks from finals

    Agree that there must be more to the story than what's been made public. But ... there would have to have been an incident or situation that made Griffins position impossible to continue. To sack a coach at this point in the season while in 5th position makes no sense what-so-ever based on what...

    Is Gus Gould the most overrated GM ever?

    Agree but that's not "about it". NC is only 20 years old. Barring injury his best is still to come.

    Panthers sack Griffin 4 weeks from finals

    It's mid-season. Penrith is 5th on the ladder. There was no big incident (that we are aware) that made his position as coach untenable to at least finish the season. Griffin wasn't caught sniffing coke or caught with his pants down in a gay brothel or any other public indiscretion. Sacking a...

    Panthers sack Griffin 4 weeks from finals

    Gus Gould; a Legend in his own mind. I had always admired Gus in the past & usually agreed with his views. That was until he became Penriths GM. There's a fine line between confidence & a bloated ego. Sacking a coach mid-season for no obvious reason defies credulity. I'm hoping that this...
