Jurno's

[Mark D]

This whole Dugan and Fergo beer gate circus has taken another turn and smacks of agenda not fact... Some Jurno's (Mr Rothfield) in particular have written with agenda as there base not fact and he's been doing it for years... Not condoning anything but it would appear after the nine news report and interviews that Rothfields story is a fabrication worthy of a visit from Dugan and Fergos lawyers...

Really?? Do those dumb twits have lawyers?

 

[Life's Good]

Newsislimited sensationalising a story about league players. Nothing new here except for those who subscribe to their paper or get their fix from Rothfield.

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

Weather they were blind or not.....and Ray Hadley suggests they were....is not the issue.

These two idiots, with thier past, should have known better than to go to a pub on thier day off just before one of the most important Origin games in years.

Agree and not condoning as mentioned just completely over certain Jurno's writing with agenda not fact... Rothfield Hadley even Ricky Stuart have all gone over board and making statements which appear to be gross exaggerations

Andrew Voss sums it up well in Nrl.com today...

There was always going to be blood in the water after the performances in game two and three

Didn't Hadley's wife leave him for Matt Parish? Isn't Matt Parish on the Blues coaching staff? Talk about agendas...

I think Ray Hadleys wife left him cause he was Ray Hadley, Parish just happened to be the method of leaving.

 

[Coffs dragon]

At least they didn't hop in a car & drive like our illustrious leader of a coach, whom went to court. Then to rub salt into the wounds, Mary was rewarded with a 2 year extension in Dragonland.

That two footballers are aloud to go to a pub on their day off the week before the SOS is not illegal is a fact.

Don't entertain the journos stories. Theyre probably just trying to 'campaign' players - try to bring them down for some stupid reason, or getting us to read their publication.

Dugan and all of the other NSW players have behaved inline with our laws and cultural standards.

 

[Red V for life]

The most offensive thing I've seen on the matter is today's comments by Aaron Woods voicing his disappointment and stating every player "prepares" for a game differently. It makes me wonder what Woods does to prepare given he was so so so soft in Origin 2 and 3. Softest frontrower I can recall.

Anyway, despite all the hope the Origin 1 result brought, the Blues camp was clearly dysfunctional and that goes a long way to explaining the farce of Game 3.

Your right. Not illegal, not against the code of conduct, not against the rules.

It's also not the commitment and culture we need to win a SOO series, as evidenced in the last month and 11 of the last 12 years

 

[Eastview]

Slothfield is the biggest alcho out there... he is writing about footballers having a couple of drinks on their day off? Pot this is kettle.... I bet he goes to work hungover a few times a week

Are we relying on Rothfield to win us a SOO series?

No? We are relying on 17 players showing professionalism and commitment to win.
Spending 8 hours at a pub while your in camp, day off or not, does not show either of these things.

Agree with your comment BUT if you were playing for NSW in one of the most important games of the year and being paid 30k would you do it? These guys really are not bright and show that they do not take the Origin as seriously as they should.

If that was Saints playing in a GF, would you be happy to have 2 players drinking it up a few games before kickoff? I just think it really demonstrated how poor the culture is in NSW camp compared to QLD and why QLD is so dominant.

 

[Slippery Morris]

QLD dropped Holmes, Nappa and a few others for the same thing at that was not even in Origin camp.

THey picked them 1 year later.

Not quite correct
They were dropped because the broke a curfew by sneaking out and back in.
In Dugan and Ferguson's case they broke no curfew nor was there any ban on where they could go or what they could do.
If they had of gone to restaurant for 8 hours having lunch and dinner would anything have been said?
Does anyone here actually know how much they had to drink?
I would suggest that 4 or 5 beers (keeping in mind up there mainly middies) would have little if any ill effect on a highly fit and trained athlete so obviously as Dugan says if it was a couple of beers what the hell are we talking about?
If people are using that as the reason we lost SOO 3 then they should all enjoy watching replays of Mc Fookknuckle's pressers as they are just as fanciful.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Sorry Old Timer spot on they broke curfew.

Your right they can't blame Duges and Fergo but that does highlight the culture that is in the NSW camp as opposed to the QLD camp and why they are so successful.

Really ? Huxley once wrote " Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored"

I have now listened to all what was said on 2GB and Dugan and Ferguson's lawyers have nothing. No malicious distortion of facts. These is no fabrication here. These two have behaved poorly prior to every game . A game they get paid 30 grand per game

I'm not a fan of Rothfield, in fact I despise him, but he is spot on with these two propeller heads.

And stop putting the word 'gate' at the end of anything that is remotely controversial.
