Fitzy's league Sledge

[Das Gupta]

Just because Lisa has made some bad life choices, then why are we now stuck with him.... could you image the pillow talk in the bed room? ""Babe I need to get a job on channel 9......"

Please no I don't need to imagine him in bed with a pirate bandanna and his fat belly. Ugh.


Says it all though. The only reason he gets a gig on 9 is because of his wife. It isn't because of his intelligence or good looks.

 

[Alfred DeBois]

Because in his wife Lisa Wilkinson's contract it states.

'That her 'Dopey pirate wearing freak of a husband Peter Fitzsimons must be given a role on a channel 9 sports show. No matter how stupid his opinion is, or how little knowledge he actually has.
His biased ignorant uneducated opinion must be heard so he can bag RL and plug his latest crappy book.

Lol.

You have to hand it to rugby league. The code's ability to generate headlines, week in, week out, for years on end – even in the off-season! – is extraordinary. If it's not Saturday night atrocities, it is Sunday afternoon head-highs; if its not "secret meetings" complete with photographers, its defections of one kind or another, and ...

And how funny I should say that.

Understandably, there is a lot of angst at the absurdly late nature of the defections. If you are going to do that good luck to you, but why do it when you are just about to get on the team bus? I have no idea. It is just the leaguie way.


But, against that, might I say the obvious? Most of the World Cup is a farce, putting a bunch of pretend national teams on the field, filled with players that have tenuous links, at best, with the countries they are representing, which in turn don't have actual league competitions within their borders! The fact that these blokes are going to play for Tonga, actually suddenly gives Tonga a real team that could give the cup a shake, not a pretend team, and that can be no bad thing.


What has always sullied "international" rugby league, is that the game extends not much further than New Zealand, PNG, the east coast of Australia, and northern England. Anything that makes other teams turning up at the World Cup genuinely competitive, has to be good for the "World Cup"!

Gee Yawnion would love to have any kind of headline this time of year you bandana wearing gimp.

Lol what does this even mean?

 

[Disinterested third party]

He has no f**king idea what he means unless a bunch of underpaid researchers push it out for him. One of the bigger jokes on the Australian landscape.

See elsewhere re setting your watch by this type of misinformed dross.

He will watch as much of the RLWC as he possibly can. All while stewing into his carrot juice.

It's pure gold.

Ditto for Slavos in his Ouzo.

Ah it's rugby league world cup time and guess who has to have his say about it, yes our favourite sports "commentator"...Petey Poo
This is the same idiot who bagged the Lebanese for having a team in the 2000 World Cup....yet today the game has been played in Lebanon for nearly 20 years, has introduced the game in high schools and is recognised by the Lebanese government.
Why does he hate rugby league so much? Has the game done something to him? Thought so...
Does the league world cup offer nothing good at all? Never here him bag the netball world cup which Australia has won 11 out of 14 times and been second the other 3 times.....no ho hum from Petey Poo there.
The real farce is rugby union players being knighted for winning 3 games of rugby that are a contest at their "world" cup.
Pete must scratch his head why rugby union keeps employing rugby league coaches to improve their sport particularly defence when it's soooooooooooooooooooo inferior.

Heres's a clue Pete if you don't like league don't watch or comment on it, like I do with union and everyone I work or socialise with does. Why begrudge a sport the opportunity to grow and improve.

Didn't your mum tell you if you have nothing nice to say say nothing at all..........

 

[taipan]

I find it ironic, the head of the World Rugby medical team is a former Cronulla Shark's rugby league first grade player,by the name of Dr Martin Raftery.

Perhaps during his course of work, he could check Bandana Boy Fitz out ,for either brain damage or an overabundance of the rl hate gene.
As suggested you can set your egg timer ,as to when he makes his appearance when a RLWC is in the offing.

For him to offer opinions on rugby league ,is akin to me offering opinions on the FARC rebels in Colombia.
My biggest highlight of the S18 was,.........I'll find it soon, just be patient.

 

[LeagueXIII]

Interesting that another ex league player in Nathan Gibbs is the doctor of the Sydney Swans.

If Pete turned his TV to his wife's channel he would see an ex league player in Matt Nable, who is doing quite well in acting and production.

 

[Disinterested third party]

With Dr Peponis involved in the RLWC the usual rah rah bullshit about education looks like the bigoted garbage it has always been.

 

[LeagueXIII]

I'm confused Petey Poo said league is only played in 4 countries, yet I can watch the Battle of the Bati from Suva and team announcement for World Cup.

 

[Nerd]

Fitzwanker is yet another Union fan in absolute meltdown mode about the upcoming Rugby League World Cup. That tosser Robert Craddock is another.

 

[LeagueXIII]

Maybe they should go and tell the young Fijian fullback who broke down in tears just minutes ago when his name was read out and he would be going to the World Cup with his national team that it is a meaningless competition.

Then again maybe I imagined it because according to Petey Poo rugby league isn't played in Fiji even though the Kangaroos and Kumuls are playing in Suva next weekend!!!

 

[DIOGENES]

Raftery, Gibbs and Peponis all did their resident years at Concord Repatriation Hospital in the 1977 - 1982 years. Why? There was virtually no overtime so they could spend time on RL. This was in the semi-professional era and most players had jobs although 90% were "cellar men" at the leagues club.
In the professional era it would be difficult to be a hospital resident doctor and an NRL player

I see him on the back page and read his articles. f**k me he is painful.

The moron at Fox that put Craddock in charge of a rugby league show, any rugby league show, was surely having a lend. Cricket hack who loves the rah rah and is married into an AFL family and frankly barely disguises his contempt for RL.

 

[Dodgy]

How is he married into the AFL family?

 

[taipan]

How is he married into the AFL family?

He fell over and did a 360, whilst fumbling to find the wedding ring .He became a Loin's member instantly.

 

[Incorrect]

IMO, both union and league World cups are by and large farcical affairs.... In League it's basically Australia by as many as they want generally. The 09 Cup, or whenever it was Slater lost it for the Roos was a blip on the radar...

Likewise, in union, it has taken the all blacks about 5 cups to get over stage fright and start reaming all other comers like they should have every tournament since its inception... I don't see them not winning that Cup for the foreseeable future...

So outside of 2 anti climactic "World Cup" competitions what separates the 2 codes in our neck of the woods? Super Rugby v NRL.... No f**king-red-bandana-wearing contest motherf**ker!!!

 

[Stormwarrior82]

The issue is he is paid to write. He is on these programs and writes these articles to give his opinion. Now channel 9 is entitled to do that and the Nrl can’t do too much about it. I feel most people look straight through his obvious bias. What annoys me is the fact that there isn’t an equally opinionated Nrl person to oppose him or discredit his articles. Gallen and others hold there ground but don’t drown out his stupidness. If I had a company that I spent a $billions dollars on I would be promoting the hell out of it instead of having a idiot bash that said company. Let’s hope next year gallen and others take his seat at the table.
