For the record i cant think of what a day at work for me that would be the equivalent of losing 62 to 0 at home but i would be distraught if that happened. Id rather see players from my team crying than yucking it up with the opposition

Even if it's nothing else, I don't see the need to bag the guy. Losing like that sucks, I can only imagine how much more it sucks for a professional. Frustrations and emotions bubble over...shows he gives a stuff at least, he was obviously hurting

I fail to see how saying WTF crying, is bagging the guy. I was asking WTF is going on. You take it how you like.

Ok that's guys. I definitely wasn't laughing about it. Was confused about what happened to cause it.

Anyway. Tough way to lose when his family are no doubt there for indigenous round

It being indigenous round probably compounded it all too. Not only feeling like he let the team down, but family and people. Really rough for the guy, best wishes for him and Newcastle.

This. It shows he actually cares. I'm still pissed off about Ben Teo laughing it up at full time when Brisbane suffered their worst ever loss against Canberra.

Its awful for the game tbh.

It means nothing for the game, people need to stop being melodramatic about this. There hasn't been a sporting competition in history where the worst team hasn't had seven shades of shit belted out of them a few times through the season. This year's Knights are on the worse end, sure, but that's really the end of it.

Any discussion of TPAs and the salary cap not working here is nonsense - if anything the Sharks are an example of the system working. They were on deaths door for 3 years. They hit rock bottom. Then they stuck to their guns, cleaned out managerial deadwood, backed their coach, and recruited smartly, with a vision, over a few years. A bit of a drug cheating hiccup and all that, but they've come out the other side of it a strong club with a great roster.

Congrats to Cronulla, a few years ago it was them on the other side of this kind of score. Here's hoping Newcastle can show the same kind of backbone.

The knights are a chance of being the worst ever nrl side. I dont know if you can remember the 98 and 99 season but it was not good to have wests stinking it up.

So is it still Wayne Bennett, the Brisbane Broncos, tpas, the nrl and Santa claus fault like it was when the Broncos towelled up this lot?

Last time this happened I said it was going to happen again but the anti Broncos sooks are nowhere to be seen this time.
Nothing but a pack of merkins.
