I know a member here (no names) who called his kids a bunch of merkins and no one knew what he meant, thank god.

I call everyone a merkin these days, most people have no idea what I mean luckily.

<non-blurry laughter emoticon> Isn't it actually a pubic wig or something like that ? They'll get a shock just by googling that !

 

[Twizzle]

yep, pubic wig

watch Spartacus, you'll see a shit load of them

Oops wrong thread.

8 round suspension and 20k fine

The right move.

8 rounds? from now? meaning he'll miss games 1 and 2 next year? or 8 including the 2 he's already had?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

However he will be able to serve the suspension only during rounds in which he is injured.

Including.

 

[ash411]

I wonder if this will effect his decision to stay next year?

 

[TheParraboy]

He has already served 1 week, so wont be available for us this year again, the next 7 weeks/games

Will be available if we make the 8, unlikely though

 

[Gronk]

But Todd hopes we can make the 8.

Let's hope we haven't seen the last of Corey in an eels jersey..

If we have, he sure went out with a stellar final performance vs roosters

 

[oldmancraigy]

Dumb question (but pertinent given this year): does his salary count against the cap the rest of the year?

Working on the assumption a suspension might mean he doesn't get paid for those 8 weeks?

 

[Dibs]

I wish I had a couple of tomatoes or some other rotten fruit I could have thrown at Kent at the Penrith game when were saw them broadcasting outside the stadium entrance...

Rocks would have been better

I think it still counts, and I think we're still paying him. Kind of like when cops mess up and they are put on leave with pay as a punishment.

better cause they would hurt, yes, but I like the humiliation factor of rotten fruit. or eggs, oooo eggs...

We should fine him the amount it would cost us in wages for those 8 weeks.

Given that we won't be playing Finals in any case it will at least give people an opportunity for the remainder of the season to see if they're worthwhile. We might as well give Cornish a run when he is fit to show what he's got.
